How to Power Level to Castle 25
- Step 1: Kingdom and Map Position In Clash of Clans you can get to level 25 whilst suffering constant attacks from your enemies. However, in reality the less you are hit, the easier your life will be. Now the important part about starting out is not to move from your initial location, or kingdom until you are about to upgrade to Castle level 6. This is because below level 6 you can teleport to any kingdom using a Novice Relocation. At Castle level 6 this ability is lost. As soon as you are about to upgrade to level 6 you should navigate to the world map and find the highest number kingdom you can. Ideally you want to find a kingdom that has “Protection Ending” as close to 90 days as possible. This provides you with 3 months before any high level players can port into your kingdom, at which point you will already be at max level. This will significantly reduce the number of high level players attacking you from the start. As for the position in the kingdom, you should choose the edge of a map in an area where level 1 to 3 monsters spawn. Ideally stay away from large groups of players. This will offer you the best chance at keeping a low profile. You can ignore resource tiles as you will not be gathering at all during the next three months. That’s right you will not be gathering any resources in our road to Castle level 25!
- Step 2: Joint a Guild It’s important not to try and join a top guild whilst you are levelling. Your sole purpose for this account is to power level to 25 as quickly as possible in a semi-passive role. Helping your guild mates in wars, with resources, or counter attacks will slow your progress down considerably. If you join an active top guild you will soon be kicked out for not participating. Once you get to level 25 that is the time to look for a decent guild if you wish to take a more active role. For levelling all we are using the guild for is: Guild helps to speed up buildings & research. Guild quests for resources, materials and experience. Gifts for extra resources, speed ups and items. Simply search for the highest Might guild that does not require an invite. After playing for a day or two, if you find you are not receiving a full bar of guild helps for construction and research fairly quickly, drop the guild and look for another.
- One of each resource building will need to be levelled up as a prerequisite to upgrade the rest of your buildings. For the remaining buildings i.e. 9 farms, 3 mines, 3 lumber mills and 3 quarries, don’t bother upgrading them past level 10 as it will just slow your progress down. For you urban buildings go for 2 barracks, 4 infirmaries and the rest manors. This will provide you with enough barracks to train the troops you need and enough infirmary beds for the troops you are going to use. The manors will be purely for gold production. Again don’t bother levelling up any of the additional buildings past level 10.
- Step 4: Building Upgrades The key strategy for a Clash of Clans power level account is to only upgrade the direct and indirect building requirements needed for your Castle. All other buildings upgrades can be ignored until they are needed. Every Castle level require your Castle Walls to be upgraded first and at least one other building. Your Castle Walls always require your Workshop, which in turn requires your Mines. Therefore every new Castle level you should always upgrade the following buildings first:-
- Step 5: Gems I will just quickly mention gems at this point, because it is very important you do not spend any gems until you have saved up at least 10,000. Now as this is a free to play account the only gems you will get will be from guild gifts, VIP chests, the colosseum and from monsters. You will find you also get a good number of gems every time the game is down for maintenance.
2. The Break
- Step 6 – Troops and Traps One of the biggest time sinks for the majority of new players are troops. Not just the initial resource cost and time to train, but also the healing cost and troop replacement cost after a battle. In our power level guide we will only train the minimum number of troops needed to unlock all the additional areas of your turf. You will not use troops for any of the following:- Attacking other players. Gathering on resource tiles. Reinforcing guild mates. Joining rallies.
- Step 7 – Resources By now you might be wondering how you will get enough resources in Lords Mobils to upgrade all your buildings and keep your research going 24/7 without gathering at all.
- Step 8 – Leader Talent Points & Equipment Your talent point leader spec in Clash of Clans is fairly straight forward for this build. You need to max the following skills using the minimum amount of points to get to each one:- Construction Speed I Research I Construction Speed II Research II Food Production III Gold Production III
Step 9 – Research
- There is not a lot of research needed for this guide. The core research includes:- Construction Speed Food Harvesting Tier 2 Troops Monster Hunt III If you get these as high as possible you will reduce your construction timers further, increase food production, have the right troops to unlock all areas of your turf and be able to attack level 3 monsters. Level 3 monsters reward you with a decent supply of speed ups and resources. Once this is complete I would suggest unlocking Tier 3 troops and then trying to max out as much of the economics and military trees as possible. Whilst not a requirement for this power levelling guide, you will need both completely maxed when you eventually go for tier 4 troops.
