Q&A for How to Protect Your Village in Clash of Clans

Create a defensive base and add traps around your base. In order to increase the level of trophies, you have to earn them by battling other players and making an effective base so others will have a hard time trying to attack you and steal your trophies. Also, come up with different attacking strategies in order to take those trophies.

Upgrade all defense buildings and walls. You should always put a defense building between and inside walls.

There is no legal way to do it, so, if you find one, you'll risk being banned from the game if you use it. It would be better to either earn the gems or buy them from the store in accordance with the rules.

Wait for your elixir pumps to generate elixir. If you have troops, raid another base.

Clear gem boxes, complete achievements and clear obstacles.

Try to snipe town halls. You could deploy about five archers near a exposed town hall, but be careful because some people have teslas or giant bombs hidden nearby.

To get gems, you must complete achievements, collect gem boxes, and remove obstacles such as trees, bushes, and rocks.

I recommend putting wizard towers close to the mortars.

The only way is to loot high dark elixer from opponents' drills and storages and avoid using dark elixer troops. Instead use pekka wizards and balloons.

If you don't have a Google play account, you can't revive your old village. You'll just have to start over.

Mortars and wizard towers should be first. If you are th 6 or up, also prioritize air defenses. Dump any excess gold before upgrading on your walls.

Install it again and log in with the same account. You should have the option of loading that existing account.

You can get free gold by earning star bonuses. You can get free gems by removing obstacles, completing achievements, and being in a very successful clan. It's possible to hack, but this is not advised as it could very well get you banned.

If you have an extensive amount of elixir and dark elixir, I suggest using the GoVaLo, the GoWiPe, or any of the GoXxXx attack strategies, as they have a high chance of 3 starring even maxed town hall 8 bases and low-mid town hall 9s if used properly. If you prefer saving your resources, I would use balloonion as this comp is also good, although it is not as efficient as the Golem attacks.

You can put it on your Google Play account as well as other backup accounts. If you play on a phone, make sure to save the in-game data.

Defending wizards in your Clan Castle should do the trick.

Rushing is generally not a good idea. However, if you want to rush, upgrade your gold storage, collect gold, and upgrade your town hall.

You'll know if you should upgrade your defense if you are being defeated by attacking players repeatedly.

It's impossible. If you want to defend your village with troops, ask for clan reinforcements.

The fastest way is to probably attack a lot. Look for villages with a lot of dark elixir. Another way is to buy dark elixer, but it costs money. Another effective way is to earn dark elixer from season challenges.

Dark elixir collectors fill up to 8 to 21.5 hours depending on its level. You can boost it by gems or Resource Potion.

At low levels like Town Hall 5, defense is extremely difficult, due to higher level players being able to easily defeat you with better troops. Instead of trying to defend, raid other Town Halls to stock up on resources, and then advance Town Halls. If you really want to defend, get some high level Clan Castle troops. You shouldn't get serious about defending until at least Town Hall 7.

It's not a good idea to place cannons too close to the edges of your base, because attackers can destroy them more easily. Instead, place cannons at least one extra building from the edges. Enemies will take a while to destroy the first building, giving cannons more time to kill them.

That depends on your base. In the center is the best for base defense, but anywhere except the outside is good.

Get all the walls, defenses and collector. Also, fight, don't just defend! Fight so you can get more stuff for your base.
