5th builder worth it?

[baldiesrt]

ill chime in as well...5 builders is the way to go to advance in this game. If you like the game and spend multiple hours on it, then it will be your best investment. I wish i got 5 builders from the start but i waited till i was around lvl 40 to get my 5th.

good luck

A few months ago, I purchased my forth builder. Super glad I did, been busy with upgrades ever since. Am at TH9, just getting 2nd xbow, but for me.. the end of busy builders is in sight.

I don't play a lot.. I raid maybe 1 million a day? haven't counted, varies a lot. I am about 12 upgrades away from upgrading mines to max.. after that, I will not be able to keep builders employed full time I suspect. Although I did think this would happen sooner after the town hall 9 upgrade.

One issue I am having, I hate trying to save elixir with the th9.. raiding is expensive/x-bow needs exlixir.. So maybe once I have builders that I can't keep busy I won't even try and focus on trying to be efficient about raiding. I know this isn't the best approach, but it works great for me.. Throw a lot of troops at the target, get loot.. take a break for 20-25 min until next army builds.

I would much rather spend $20 on random gems.. sometimes when I'm in the mood to play I will speed up troop training so I can attack sooner, esp. if I'm about to get enough resources to start an upgrade. I may finish the last hour or so of a building update with gems.. I spend maybe a few dollars/week doing things like this, to me it's a far better investment than a Starbucks coffee a week.

So, do what you enjoy, have fun! If your into building your base as fast as you can, and you raid a lot, the fifth builder is a wise choice, but there are other options you may enjoy as much ore more

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.

What?
You would pay $60 for a crappy ps3 or Xbox game but you think that this game is not worth $20?
Are you kidding?

To answe the question the OP asked you have to ask yourself one question. How much do you play this game? If you play often then this game is worth $20 (more if you find your ps3 collecting dust like me). If you play often then you will always find a way to keep them busy. I have 5 and they are always busy.

I don't have a ps or an Xbox... My money goes to home improvements...

This is just a game on my phone.. That I play 10 hours a day while I'm at work.

I'm not even sure the 4th builder is worth it.

5th builder is definitely worth it!

5th builder is a no brainer. He will do for you in 2 weeks what 2000 gems could do you for without him. So a builder is worth roughly 4000 gems a month. I've had my 5th builder for 4.5 months now, so what I have done with him in those 4.5 months would have cost 18000 gems. Seems like a good investment to me.

Would love a 5th builder & definitely trade in a hero for it. Lv84 TH9 & could keep it busy constantly. GET IT!

[Abiengel]

Think about it this way..... You have spent a worse $10 bucks.....

I think it's worth it but I am only maxing out my level 7 TH....

I find that keeping them busy is fairly easy right now but my upgrades dont cost millions YET....

If you want it then just do it.... Like I said.... I've spent a worse $10......

[LordDragon]

Totally worth it. I did early on and don't regret it.
