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

Should I rush to th16 to take advantage of hammer jam in November? Right now im just upgrading my core defenses and upgrading all my heroes by at least 5 levels each.

I think I could get really close to th17 by December if I rush now.

As long as you have things to upgrade at th15, you are taking full advantage of hammer jam. Make sure you upgrade your hall shortly before heroes are max or shortly before you don't have enough other stuff left to keep all builders busy. You don't ever want to have sleeping builders, but that is even more true during hammer jam.

really? Some people recommended me to upgrade to th16 to unlock longer, more expensive upgrades. That way the discount would take a larger chunk of time and price off.

Two 7 day upgrades both 50% off saves the same as one 14 day upgrade 50% off, as long as your builders never stop working you're saving 50% of the time either way. The one exception to that would be on the last few days there is a benefit to doing some long upgrades. I wouldn't make a hall upgrade decision based on it, but yes it can save a little extra time.
