I'm a relatively new TH8 and I have 4 builders and 1.4K gems, never bought, and will never buy gems. I can keep all 4 busy, but I'm not sure about if I can keep a 5th busy. I wouldn't care if it was cheaper, but 2K gems from obstacles take long to get. Do you recommend me to save for 5th builder or to use those gems? (i'd use them only for boosting, better use of gems IMO).
Builders are the most crucial part of the game. Get to crystal league for an additional 500 gems. Then remove obstacles for the last 100.
If you can Keep your builders busy depends on how much you are farming. Until th7 you can upgrade your base without attacking too much, but th8 is the Point where you really Need to stark working. Many Players dont max out defenses for th8, because it can not be done with collecting mines any more.
On the other side if you are a good farmer, you will have no Problems keeping even 5 builders busy at th9.
If you can't keep five builders busy don't get a fifth one. Instead use your gems for boosting barracks when you have a spare two hours. :)
You could keep the 4 busy, but not sure about the fifth?
well, if it was me, you should still buy it
it's handy if you have an extra builder around to spend resources on walls on
It won't be long till you regret buying the gems.
I used to think that getting the 5th builder was crucial, but now, eh, not so much. Usually 3 builders are busy and the 4th is for emergencies such as dumping loot into walls to keep my storage levels low. Like you, I haven't bought any gems yet, but am able to keep my gem count hovering around 800-900 for emergency boosting and such. At the moment, none of my builders are doing anything other than sleeping and taking up space. They're probably chasing the village maidens around when I'm not looking. I use one now and then to do wall upgrades and when I have enough DE to upgrade a royal. Loot is not as available as it used to be, so keeping all of them busy is pretty hard to do these days. More so if you have a village that is near maxed with not much left to upgrade.
er..... depends.....
If you only just keep 4 busy at the moment, why get the builder --- you are only going to find it harder with the increased costs and build times the higher you go........
Personaly, by the time i got enough gems for the 5th builder, I realised I was too "casual" to need it, so I just kept them for boosting barracks/sf........
(on the other hand - if you get the builder, you will always have it, just in case you do ever need him)
Good luck:cool:
Get the 5th builder. Period. It's a permanent addition to your base. All the other stuff is temporary. I'm a late th9 and have kept all 5 builders busy since I got him. Not that hard
It depends how often you farm and if you have millions in resources you cant spend due to builder shortage. Personally 4 is fine for me, based on how often I play. Someone who plays half the day may want 5.
