I followed Jietoh's starter guide fairly closely as a newbie, and it worked quite well for me. I left TH5 with everything but collectors maxed, and at TH6 I started by building all the new buildings, walls and traps, and then concentrating first on Lab and Army Camp upgrades to get more troops and upgrade them.

I'm interested in seeing your build order for TH7 as I will be there in 4 days. My plan would be to start out the same way I did on TH6, but there are a lot more new items to build on TH7. Can't wait for the extra Army Camp and Barracks.

My build order for TH7 was:

1. Lab (got to get this going so troop upgrades can start asap
2. New camp (nothing better than getting an instant boost to your army size)
3. Dark E storage (can't farm it if you can't store it)
4. New Barracks (helps farming even if you only get it to level 2)
5. New mortar
6. New air D
7. New cannons
8. New archer towers
9. Upgrade spell factory (Three spells, yea! rage, yea!)
10. Upgrade barracks to 9 (Dragons!!)

This was tough for me because all the stuff at the top of the list cost elixir so I had to put the DE storage off for example because I just didn't have enough on day 1.

After that initial push, the trick for me was to try and have at least 1 builder available every day. Nothing ruins my day more than having full storage and no way to spend it because all my builders are busy. I also try and only do one splash damage and one air defense at a time. That way my base wasn't left too vulnerable because none of my mortars were functional for example.

I was pretty deep into clan wars at the time so I also wanted to focus on getting dragons asap and air defense up as quickly as possible. Dragon raids on TH 7 are so OP in clan wars there's no reason to not jump on that bandwagon asap.

Interesting. That's not what I would have suggested, but I'm glad it worked out for you.

I'm sorry, I hijacked the thread. I really should have put that in my own guide and left your thread alone. By the time I realized it and came back to edit it out, you had already replied and quoted it so it doesn't make sense to remove it now...

It's all good. I'm not mad about it. :)

Bump for all the newbies with questions!
