Builder Battles


Built for Battle!
Take part in Builder Battles by tapping the ‘Attack!’ button in the bottom left of the Builder Base view. Just make sure you’ve selected troops for your Active Army before starting!
Attacking
Initiate battle against another player’s Builder Base to earn Stars, Builder Gold and Builder Base Trophies. Attacking also means you open your base to being attacked by other players, so make sure you’ve got some defenses set up!
Earn up to 3 Bronze Stars for conquering the first Stage of an enemy Builder Base.
Preparation Time
You have 60 seconds of preparation time before a battle starts to scout out your enemy's defenses and prepare accordingly. You can also switch up troop types before attacking during this phase by tapping the green switch arrows on your troop of choice.
Second Stage
For opponents with Builder Hall 6 and above, you can attack both Stages of their base for even greater rewards. Once you’ve conquered their first Stage, your remaining troops will venture deep into the caverns of their second Stage. When this occurs:
Your remaining troops are healed based on your Healing Hut Level
Hero Abilities are reset to Charge Level 1
Troop ability cooldowns are reset
Troops with single-use abilities do not recover them
Receive Reinforcement troops from your Reinforcement Slots (first slot unlocked at Builder Hall 6)
Earn up to 3 Silver Stars for conquering the second Stage of a Builder Base.
Defending
Man the cannons! Attacking opens your Builder Base up to enemies searching for an opponent. The fewer Stars an attacking player earns, the more Builder Elixir you receive for your defense. Collect Builder Elixir from the Elixir Cart located by the shoreline of your Builder Base.
Prepare your Builder Base to hold strong against oncoming armies by assigning a particular defensive layout. This protects your layout against prying eyes and ensures your base will remain a surprise.
Matchmaking
You will find enemies of a similar Builder Base Trophy count as you.
Rewards
But what do you get for your battle performance?
Stars:
Earn up to 3 Bronze Stars for attacking the first Stage of a Builder Base.
Earn up to 3 Silver Stars for attacking the second Stage of a Builder Base.
Builder Gold:
Earn a sum of Builder Gold based on your success in battle and your current Builder Base League.
Builder Elixir:
Earn a sum of Builder Elixir based on the success of your Defenses and your current Builder Base League.
Builder Base Trophies:

Star Bonus
The Star Bonus works very similarly to the Home Village. Earn Builder Gold and Builder Elixir by earning Stars from battle and achieving the daily Star Bonus. The number of Stars required to complete varies from 7-12 Stars depending on your Builder Base League. Check out the ‘Attack!’ button in the bottom left of the Builder Base view to see how many more Stars you need to get the bonus!
1 Bronze Star = 1 Bonus Star
1 Silver Star = 1 Bonus Stars
The reward for achieving the Star Bonus increases as you rise up the Builder Base Leagues.

Friendly Challenge
Feel like challenging your fellow Clanmates to an old-fashioned friendly battle? Once you’re in a Clan, tap the ‘Challenge’ button from the Clan Chat in Builder Base to invite your fellow Clanmates to attack your base and truly test your Defenses.
You can accept a challenge from a Clanmate by tapping the ‘Accept’ button on their challenge in the Clan Chat. This will start your attack on their base.
You will not earn any rewards for attacks or defenses through Friendly Challenges, it’s just friendly fun!
Good To Know
Retain fighting focus! Since troops bring their own abilities into battle, using too many different troops may make it hard to keep track of your attack! Try using simple but effective troop combinations to overcome enemy defenses!
Builder Battles are not head-to-head experiences! You will not necessarily have to defend your Builder Base against players that you have attacked. However, attacking will open your base up to advances from searching opponents of a similar Builder Base Trophy count.
