2. Using a ton of walls

A beginner does not have the access to a proper shield or other such game items that can protect their village effectively. They have to advance in the game to get access to such items. Thus, having a defense strategy for a beginner is crucial to ensure they take in as less damage as possible. One of the best ways to do this will be by creating multiple sets of walls. Upgrading them does not require a lot, hence, strategize upgrading them as quickly as possible. This trick is a must for all players using wooden walls.

3. Using the shield

In this game, when your town is destroyed by 40% during an attack, you are provided with a 12-hour-long shield. Using this benefit provided by the game to effectively recoup. If your base is attacked and it gets destroyed 90%, you will be provided with a short 4-hour-long shield as well. Using this time period provided by the shield to build up your resources and advance better. Do make sure that you are not using this time period to attack. Concentrate on building your army to defend the towers only during this time. This move will ensure you are ready to take on your enemy after the shield gets deactivated.

4. Saving Gems

Gems are very hard to come by in Clash of Clans. Hence, you have to strategize spending them. The game lures beginners to spend as many gems as possible, and as a result, they end up spending them all. So, you as a beginner need to ensure you are not falling for this trap. You can use the saved-up gems later on in the game to get a much-needed boost.
