Are Builder Huts REALLY that important?

[Ajax]

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.

4 builders is essential IMO. The 5th is more debatable, and depends on your style of play.

And if you are looking for 500gems, you haven't even got the third!

Get yourself up to 1250 trophies for the 1000 gem acheivement bonus, and get the third builder at least.

The 4th then costs 1000 gems, so is a bit harder to reach.

Depends where you want to play. For me i wanted to max and get all troops asap. So 5 builders saved me a ton of time early on and got me to where i can war and have fun. Now that I've been th9 for months most of my builders have been idle so having a fifth isnt doing me anything special. When i go to th10 outside of ramping up new buildings i doubt ill farm enough to keep 5 busy 100% of the time.

Basically with casual game play 5th builders will save you a ton of time getting into mid th9. After that it's all dependent on how much you can farm

You should definately get 4 builders. 5th builder doesn't effect your upgrade times since you will have to wait for lab and heroes. and getting your 4th builder is ez. I got it at th6.
If you have 5 builders you can upgrade walls easier by keeping one free.

a 5th builder hut is only useful till town hall 8. On town hall 8 the upgrading of troops takes much longer time than the defenses upgrade (assuming you raid enough: and anyway, if you don't raid enough, you don't need a 5th builder anyway).
At town hall 9/10 the same goes: the upgrading of the heroes and troops takes much longer time than the defense upgrades.
So no, it's not realy useful. Unless you want your defenses to finish very early, way before your troops and heroes are upgraded. At that moment you're builders will be resting for a long time though.

Builder hut helps at higher levels as well. if I didn't have 5th builder I wouldn't have completed lavas or I would ve had lower level heroes. It definately helps.

i ve 5 builders =)
it's awesome cause i'm a TH8 , doing all arch towers to lvl 10 from lvl 8 in 5 days only is awesome

Builders had been my priority until i got five. I dont understand how people can think it is funny to spend it on anything else especially if you dont spend a dime on this game.

i wish i had at least 8 builders. from time to time I have to slow down a bit, be a bit less active in raids. normally i tend to leave one out of 5 builders idling for walls. but since im a new TH9 now, none of them should be entitled to breaks now, lol. hence, im sitting on full storages again.

I'm guessing you are relatively new to the game and have two builders huts. Believe me, especially during this one gem boost week, you need more builders.

Get your 4th builder by th8, ideally 7 or even 6.

Get the 5th for th9 and keep it open or mostly so to manage your loot.
