Are Builder Huts REALLY that important?

[NFB]

I have time people, I can wait. However, I am still imaptient. I...LOVE gemming troops and upgrades when I can. Literally got a gem box today, spent it on Loons.

I think I have a problem.

However, my question. Will builder huts seeioisly affect my progress that much in the end? I hope not, I dont see myself getting anywhere near 500 gems soon.

It will significantly speed up your building upgrades assuming you loot enough to keep them busy.

I'm sure you'll see how important they are when upgrade times reach 10+ days or when you have enough money to upgrade tons of things and can only choose 2 instead of 3 or 4, plus they're great for tricking people in wars!

Late in TH9 (and apparently also in TH10), it is the lab that is the last thing to finish so having 5 builders isn't that important if your goal is to max everything. But I would still have at least 4 otherwise you'll be sitting on a lot of loot most of the time if you are even semi-active.
Having 5 builders has been useful though especially at the start of each TH.

I honestly don't understand how anyone can play long-term with any less than 3-4 builders. Not saying you can't, just can't imagine it's fun at that pace.

seriously..builder mean to be ur base will be advance..more builder more defense can build

It's a lot cheaper in the long run to be able to invest in extra builders to increase building speed than gem upgrades to complete.

But, play the game as you wish....

I remember starting the game with only the two builders I soon realized that in order to progress faster through the game and get higher I needed more builders. The reason why is because I'd have buildings upgrading and I'd be overflowing with loot and I'd have to wait felt like it was a waste of time... So bought the other builders.. Having four to five builders is great I'd say up to townhall eight because I believe the upgrades aren't so much that you can keep them all upgrading. But as a near max townhall nine I have to say having four at townhall nine is far than enough... . If you can and want to get the builders won't hurt..

Getting extra builders I believe is by far the best value for gems the game offers.

I would recommend everyone getting 5 as quickly as possible, gives you much more flexibility managing upgrades and helps prevent you getting 'stuck' with loaded storages - which just makes you a more attractive target to attack.
