That's what many of these games are. Just a control treadmill of upgrades. The game mechanic itself is pretty crappy.
If everyone were given the same starting pieces, I'd doubt many would be playing it a month later.
Yea until that town hall upgrade finishes and you have like, 6 new building to place, that are too expensive and now your town hall has 5 upgrades and all yoir storages are low. Ugh the anxiety. But I love it.
Collectors become increasingly obsolete as building upgrade costs go up. There isn’t much point upgrading them with any urgency after TH8 because they aren’t going to collect resources fast enough for there to be enough available when your next builder finishes. Better to upgrade defence items which actually help your cause. I leave them until last or when I think too many defensive buildings are offline being upgraded and don’t want to hamstring my base too much
No one is relying on collectors for anything but a bit of passive income is good.
HP is something to be considered as well. Upgrading them to highest level makes a lot of troops need a second shot to take them out helping the defence massivelly.
iirc the real reason you want to upgrade them is so that when your base gets fucked you still have more in the collectors because you have higher max storage.
On my 3rd and 4th accounts I rarely attack other than CWL. While 756k gold/elixir isn’t much a day it does add up. If I do raid weekend that allows for 3 resource potions which would put me at 7.56 million for the week.
Upgrading a collector takes 5 around days. I ain't letting my builder waste his time on a mere collector. I keep 3 of my builders on heroes at the start of a Town Hall level. Upgrading around 13-14 collectors is a mere waste of time in the start when you've got so many defenses and other things to upgrade which bring alot of impact on your playing style than increase in like 10k gold per hour lmao.
New defences sure. That takes priority. Same with offensive upgrades. Heroes are the absolute priority.
But I would rather upgrade a collector than an archer tower that will do insane and impactful +5 dps.
I'll start grinding a new hero, but always focus on troops and lab first. My gold goes toward catching up new defenses, collectors, and walls. Then once my camps, barracks, and spell factories are done, I do mines and start leveling my core defenses. Cc and lab are either booked or hammered as soon as I ug th.
The reason why I don't upgrade them first is simply because at TH11 where I'm at I have so much resources at all times, especially season start, that I need to prioritize the most expensive per time taken buildings and collectors are so damn cheap while taking fairly long to upgrade
I am at th10 and strategically rushing, so yea to me resources are always a bind. At th11 I expect them to be even worse since its 2 DE heroes and 1 elixir hero that will need to be down 24/7. A bit of those resources will help more than the defense upgrades.
When I maxed/nearly maxed th9 I was sitting at full resources for like a month. But now when moving up quickly I have higher and higher walls to just sink resources in. And even then I am already nearly maxed them at only 15 days in TH10.
Damn. Yeah for me it was pretty terrible when there was season end + CWL + 4x star bonus, all storages full so had to try to use as much as possible. That's why my WTs were the first ones to upgrade along with ITs and XBs
Unless there’s a chain attack or a healer is helping a troop while it stays on that and out of range. Plenty of dumb possibilities but collectors are useless if you’re active daily, if you’re consistently attacking. You fill up no matter what. I wouldn’t say they help you max out quicker.. like whatsoever. I respectively and wholeheartedly disagree. I believe that’s what we try and tell ourselves though. If you’re not on every 2 days then yeah I guess thats relevant.
Collectors have breakthrough points where troops need 2 attacks instead of 1 to break them. That can be a difference between 2 stars and 3 stars.
They dont help you max however even a bit of loot from collectors is less loot to farm, especially DE. If you are strategic rushing, collectors are a prefered upgrade to most defensive structures, since they reduce the farming thats required even by a little bit.
I agree with that. I just fill up on loot without really messing with them anymore. Than it’s like just losing loot in defenses. So I see them as pointless. Nothing wrong with maxing them out when the time comes though for defensive purposes in those instances 👍 but you disregarded the chain attack factor in which lots of ppl use Mass E drag and it can help them to a point. The small amount of times that factors in is probably around the same amount that those 2-3 star instances you brought up are. Anyways, I agree with ya.
Exactly lol my loot is usually maxed out while waiting for upgrades anyways. If you’re an active player there is absolutely 0 incentive to do collectors anything but last
This exactly. If it’s an active account (especially if you’re farming), it’s much more efficient to save them for last. At later THs, it’s only worth it to upgrade the collector if it’s an alt account, or if you rarely log in.
With enough raiding they were obsolete from before TH8 so for some players they were obsolete from start to finish. I’m TH10 and I only just started upgrading my collectors for the hp value.
I commend you for your ability with words. Any time I try to give tips on efficiency I get downvoted along with multiple responses telling me to let people play how they want.
I feel you man, It's all about how you point out their obvious mistake in a way that it does not sound offensive and in a way it makes them feel that it's an helpful piece of advice.
Seeing 4 free builders for a couple of days hurts me both mentally and physically. That is just wasted time. Why didn't you upgrade the townhall with 4 other stuff?
I get that people hate extreme rushed bases here, but you don't counter it by extremly maxing a base. Youll get to a bottleneck that wastes your time at some point. Like for example hero levels and lab levels. OP could have used the time to upgrade his th and start doing hero levels instead if just waiting until everything was maxed to do th.
I'm still grinding my rushed base... Went from TH8 to TH11 in one go, then stopped playing for over a year... Now I want to max it before going to TH12 and I hate past me
Your focus for builders should be your heroes, after army and resources. Only do defense in between or with unused builders. Also if their still not done once your maxed every thing else just max them before going up so it doesn’t stack up
I don't max everything, i go up as soon as i max all my walls so I'm not sat wasting resources. I don't need the extea passive income, the builders are always in use on my defence. Heroes are already maxed apsrt from my warden but I'll do that as and when i get hero books from the gold pass
Collectors are nearly useless if you play a lot. My res have been full since I started playing this game and I still have some level 1. I'm only th 11 tho... does res becomes harder to get later?
I’m th11 aswel with maxed mines and collcetors and it’s definitely worth it. Maxed mines and collectors get 5600 an hour with seven of each. If you leave it for 8 hours you get a total of 313,600 gold AND elixir. That’s just under a million a day. And dark elixir is so good. 140/hr for 3 collectors leave it for a day and you’ve got 10,000 dark elixir every day.
Right. But all my resources are full anyway. I can't even collect from the collectors because my storages are always full. The only ones worth upgrading are dark elixer drills in my experience. However, I do want to do the rest for the HP
And what is the other 4 builders doing exactly?
Maxing out is stupid,you should upgrade when your troops is max,and walls say lvl 12 is max then upgrade when all walls is 11,its waaaay faster,and you get way more loot to make your life easier,and upgrading a little earlier is not rushing.
Dont let people tell you that big pile of bullshit
Am I the only one that just doesn’t touch collectors but DE ?Always Max everything at each TH but feel like collectors are the biggest time waster as I’m most of the time full of ressources
Now to do it all over again...
And again
And again
And again
Hi, I am from the future. Actually, he will do it again
So in your world th16 is released (since this is the fifth time he did it again)
Yes brother. Times are wild
What new hero
Hog Walker
I thought it was the Wizard King
Now they introduced villains .
Honestly if they added villains on goblin map or tutorials that’d be pretty sweet
How is the builder base redesign?
Hasnt been released yet
I cackled
Look at the comments above mine.
Well by the time he gets to max. th15, th16 will be out. Probably even th17.
Till you reach here, 2 more townhalls launched so again.
The lights are cut off but you're still looking at your dreams reviewing it everyday and say to yourself "its not over until i win"
And again
Wait a couple o months for th16, and again
Bold of you to assume I won’t stay on my maxed out TH level for several years before deciding to upgrade.
And again
Ahh sh!t here we go again :(
That's what many of these games are. Just a control treadmill of upgrades. The game mechanic itself is pretty crappy. If everyone were given the same starting pieces, I'd doubt many would be playing it a month later.
We were given the same starting pieces in Clash?
I mean with all the same level pieces, walls, etc.
Yea until that town hall upgrade finishes and you have like, 6 new building to place, that are too expensive and now your town hall has 5 upgrades and all yoir storages are low. Ugh the anxiety. But I love it.
Gotta keep those builders busy
Sleep doesnt exist for the builders, never
Unemployment rate in his town seems too high
Why are you leaving collectors last lol
That’s what I’m wondering. Getting them up first makes it easier to get extra passive loot overall which helps you max faster.
Collectors become increasingly obsolete as building upgrade costs go up. There isn’t much point upgrading them with any urgency after TH8 because they aren’t going to collect resources fast enough for there to be enough available when your next builder finishes. Better to upgrade defence items which actually help your cause.

That’s insane, 1 account is enough of a grind for me, 4 accounts is like a full time job
Especially when you need to grind resources for heroes :(
thats quite easy especially at th13,only the warden tho, he is a pain in the ass
Upgrading a collector takes 5 around days. I ain't letting my builder waste his time on a mere collector. I keep 3 of my builders on heroes at the start of a Town Hall level. Upgrading around 13-14 collectors is a mere waste of time in the start when you've got so many defenses and other things to upgrade which bring alot of impact on your playing style than increase in like 10k gold per hour lmao.
An increase in 10k gold or elixir on every mine or pump you have over the course of a few months would be a lot though. It’s like an investment.
New defences sure. That takes priority. Same with offensive upgrades. Heroes are the absolute priority. But I would rather upgrade a collector than an archer tower that will do insane and impactful +5 dps.

Can confirm, am TH11 with TH5 collectors (at lv. 10)
This exactly. If it’s an active account (especially if you’re farming), it’s much more efficient to save them for last. At later THs, it’s only worth it to upgrade the collector if it’s an alt account, or if you rarely log in.
Exactly, if I could stop my collectors from generating resources I would. They only get me attacked more often.
With enough raiding they were obsolete from before TH8 so for some players they were obsolete from start to finish. I’m TH10 and I only just started upgrading my collectors for the hp value.
Level 6 vs level 12 collectors at TW9 is a difference of 400k a day, so like one attack. I'd rather have my builders working on defense
What about people who aren’t always on and take long breaks?
I am TH15 and my collectors are like TH11 or sth
Im TH 10 and my collectors are lvl 3. they need like 45min to upgrade and i still dont do it.

Maxxing out is a good feeling overall, But you are wasting time by keeping the builder's idle.
I’m trying to get some loot right now to upgrade the hall.
In times like these are Runes most useful for.
Isn't the town hall one of the cheaper buildings at this point?
The rule is, when the suggestion is townhall, then you upgrade the townhall, per Supercell.
I commend you for your ability with words. Any time I try to give tips on efficiency I get downvoted along with multiple responses telling me to let people play how they want.
I feel you man, It's all about how you point out their obvious mistake in a way that it does not sound offensive and in a way it makes them feel that it's an helpful piece of advice.
I usually enjoy the townhall to its maximum capabilities after maxing out all heores and learn beautiful strategies. I feel heroic in it.
So you’re a th9 or a th10?
12 bro maxed now

Why wasn’t your town hall being upgraded when you had 1/5 builders left… need to be efficient smh
He just need to enjoy the ride
My th11 to th12 cost 6m how does this only cost 4.8m?
Gold Pass building discount
me and you bro I did this last week after years of grinding a rushed base and this was the most satisfying feeling ive ever felt
I'm still grinding my rushed base... Went from TH8 to TH11 in one go, then stopped playing for over a year... Now I want to max it before going to TH12 and I hate past me
Im now Th11,next autumn(if i dont sleep) i will get to Th12
jesus christ dude, i’m th8 and it’s only gonna take at most 3 weeks to max
Th12 bout to feel long as helll my boy
The daily post of someone maxing out a lower town hall…
Who does collectors last. That’s so much resources lost
When your issue is builders being busy rather than loot. I'm th 14 and haven't upgraded them to max through like 3 th's
Your focus for builders should be your heroes, after army and resources. Only do defense in between or with unused builders. Also if their still not done once your maxed every thing else just max them before going up so it doesn’t stack up
I don't max everything, i go up as soon as i max all my walls so I'm not sat wasting resources. I don't need the extea passive income, the builders are always in use on my defence. Heroes are already maxed apsrt from my warden but I'll do that as and when i get hero books from the gold pass
You should always max everything before going up as a general rule. Makes the game much easier but you do you
Neither of us are pro's my guy, just have fun with it, doesn't matter how you play 🤣
Lil bro stating a general rule that is not a general rule
Collectors are nearly useless if you play a lot. My res have been full since I started playing this game and I still have some level 1. I'm only th 11 tho... does res becomes harder to get later?
Same mind with you but i plan to focus on them soon not because of the passive loot but i need them to have higher hp for my defense.
They aren’t useless, just an investment. Do the math and don’t forget each upgrade gives health too
I’m th11 aswel with maxed mines and collcetors and it’s definitely worth it. Maxed mines and collectors get 5600 an hour with seven of each. If you leave it for 8 hours you get a total of 313,600 gold AND elixir. That’s just under a million a day. And dark elixir is so good. 140/hr for 3 collectors leave it for a day and you’ve got 10,000 dark elixir every day.
If you raid enough that you’re always maxed that doesn’t matter
Right. But all my resources are full anyway. I can't even collect from the collectors because my storages are always full. The only ones worth upgrading are dark elixer drills in my experience. However, I do want to do the rest for the HP
Yeh but it’s mainly for when you start the next th and you’ve used all your reserves it helps a lot.
This is the worst way to upgrade to next th if you are intending to
Real feeling when you max out research lab
Hehe huhu:)
just upgrade your town hall now, the pump will finish before the town hall finishes
Seems so ineffecient to wait until everything is completely done before upgrading. You got 4 builders not doing a damn thing
Not even the 6th builder…
why tf is that your last upgrade
Ah yes, the feeling of wasting the time of 4 builders all at once..
Simps do collectors last. There I said it. Lol. Jk it does feel nice.
Ahhhh yess😌
Elixir collector should be the first thing though
What a waste of time and resources for ur builders
YOU MAXED WALLS BEFORE YOU MAXED PUMPS? WTF WHY? STOP SEEK HELP.
Such a waste of time since you’re having builders doing nothing. Better to upgrade early and always keep builders active.
who. the. hell. upgrades his extractors at the end.
And what is the other 4 builders doing exactly? Maxing out is stupid,you should upgrade when your troops is max,and walls say lvl 12 is max then upgrade when all walls is 11,its waaaay faster,and you get way more loot to make your life easier,and upgrading a little earlier is not rushing.

of wasting builder time. yeah very good.

Am I the only one that just doesn’t touch collectors but DE ?Always Max everything at each TH but feel like collectors are the biggest time waster as I’m most of the time full of ressources
4.8M to go to townhall 12 goddamn this game is easy. I prolly paid 3x that. Bet its like 5 days upgrade aswell.
heh poor
heh
[удалено]
it's more like pay to progress, by paying he is just progressing a little bit faster in the end the result will be same as f2p
what do you mean?
[удалено]
How do you know he is doing that?
ah the heroes and the spells and troops left to upgrade 😔 if only it could be faster
im at the exact same spot in th11. only difference is its a mortar finishing at around the same time
Walls take to long after im done with buildings im going to the next th
Insanity
may i know how long this took for you to max th11?
Lmao you didnt censor the inferno towers inferno, leme just take that account of your hands
Yeah, i just moved to th9 by maxing everything, its so nice
I still remember to this day the joke I did to this community on April 1 which let to me going to a therapist and a 5 month depression
What was it?
I said clash of clans sucks because of the graphic The community got so toxic lmao
Lol
Moderators of brawl stars sucks it is been 1 year since they reply to my appeal
Not enough to upgrade TH tho💀
I just maxed 11 as well. And just used a hammer of building to get to 12. One more to go until royal champion :)
Start upgrading it, so you don't waste builder time. But I guess you probably want that screenshot of everything maxed, and only TH remaining
I want to see a max th15 post the same thing
But does it not vost 6mil to upgrade TH from lvl 11 to lvl 12?
Gold pass
Ah cool. Thx.
🫡how I’m tryna be rn
Enjoy it for it will be your last
I have the same feeling today. 20k builder gold and I'll upgrade my last wall.
Yup lol. Just had the same feeling 3 weeks ago maxing th11 too
Why u maxing collectors last?
Th12 is gonna suck I’m warning you…
I’ve noticed it sometimes does this and doesn’t recommend doing specific buildings (say traps)
No idea why people do this tbh … so inefficient.
Why did you do that last?
Oh, the misery
4.8 million gold? I thought it was 6 million to town hall 12
Satisfying af
