    5th builder worth it?

    * I did not pay for gems, used featurepoints*
    I have 2500 gems available to use and I already have 4 builders I was wondering if it was worth it to get a 5th builder because I'm at th7 and upgrades are tending to cost a lot and I don't think I'll be able to keep all my builders busy at th8. the 5th builder costs 2000 gems and I was wondering if I should get a Barbarian king instead for 600 gems and use rest on occasional upgrades and etc. do you think a builder is worth 2000 gems? thanks!

    Super worth it. Use your gems on builder instead of that burger king. You won't regret.

    Builders are by far the best use of gems, even for the 5th one. I bought the fifth one about 5 weeks ago, and none of my builders see any sleep. I am a TH 8 where each upgrade costs upwards of 1 million and I still have no trouble keeping up. I think you should get it. Gemming the barb king might be something to do after you get the builder and save up a little more.

    I don't gem and I can't keep my builders busy (I have 4) I keep a rule 2 upgrading defenses 1 elixir building and 1 free for upgrading walls.. That works good for me. Good luck

    Well i could keep them busy but You don't want too many defenses out at one time.. Plus there are alot of costs that goes toward walls

    I would employ 10 builders if Supercell would allow me to...

    Jokes aside, at the higher TH levels, where upgrades are measured in days, it helps to have a few extra running around.

    Ive often pondered this question myself (I'm th 8 getting close to max defenses with 4 builders) and I've come to the conclusion that the 5th one wouldn't be worth it. Despite me raiding something like 2 mill a day in gold, I still find myself barely making ends meet to keep the 4 busy. Especially with walls and such. I wouldn't waste your gems on it if I were you.

    Your going to find both opinions.. You just have to ask yourself: is a piece to a game worth spending $20 on.. To me it's a no.. Because I may not be playing this game a a few months ya never know. Chances are that I will but its a game to me..

    Might be a bit of a nub question, but what are featurepoints?
    To have 2500 gems without buying is a lot I have been playing since October and I have picked up about 1700 in total over that time, that's including quite a few achievements.

    Bearing in mind that to have 4 builders required 1250 to begin with...
