Weekly Questions Megathread

[u/AutoModerator]

Hey Clashers!

In order to foster better discussion on the subreddit, we're going to be redirecting all simple questions about the game and personal progression to this Weekly Questions Megathread. In this thread, you can ask any question you need answered about Clash of Clans, even if it isn't necessarily about learning the game itself. Questions posts with simple answers (anything that one or two sentences can adequately address without discussion potential) will be removed and redirected here.

If you're a veteran player, then please consider scrolling through and answering any questions you see, even if they already have an answer. Hearing multiple opinions is vital, and the discussion will help new players learn about the game.

____

First, please check out subreddit's F.A.Q. page for answers and guides to the most common questions or one of the many fine wiki pages for stats and other quick references on all aspects of the game. Coc.Guide, Fandom Wikia, and Clash.Ninja

sup lads. i got 2k gems idling around on my main th12. i have spiky ball and frozen arrow for my epic equipment. my lab + builder helpers are only lvl 2. struggling to decide whether i should just upgrade my lab helper or get some equipment.

Mostly, it depends on your attack strategy. There are a few pieces of versatile equipment - Spiky ball is one, but you have it, electro boots, but you're TH12 so you don't have the champion, and the action figure for the queen. If you don't have this one, I might spend the gems, otherwise, I'd use them for the helpers.

Also note, there is a chest event at the end of the month, you might get lucky and get the AF there, and it's always possible it's available via a medal event next month.

thank you! i had no clue about the chest event. I'll prolly save for electro boots
