Boom Beach and Clash of Clans

Leo Yin

Both Clash of Clans and Boom Beach are made by Supercell and have the same main idea. They both involve fighting and defence. The main key to winning these games is strategy. You need to train the right troops, and build the right defenses. You must figure out what to upgrade or buy first. You must also make use of your gems. Gems are a “premium” currency that let you upgrade units more easily, and can be gained either by paying real money or through various mechanisms in the game.

You need to know who to attack for trophies/points and loot. You can’t survive without loot. You use these loots and resources to upgrade, train, and buy things to improve your base and strategy. One strategy is to put your town hall outside of your base with nothing to protect it. This is called farming. If you need to protect your loot, farm to a league where you are too powerful for all the other players.

Clash of Clans: In Clash of Clans you are more in the middle ages time and can train only middle ages troops like archers and swordsmen. There is a robot troop and a dragon as well. Clash of Clans also has “Clan Wars” which help you get more loot and improve your strategy. In Clash of Clans, you might find it boring in the early game, but if you can stick with it until your “Town Hall” is upgraded past level four the real fun starts.

Boom Beach: Boom Beach takes us to the more modern/future time. The troops are all equipped with pistols, machine guns, bazookas, and even tanks. You can train warriors and they heal themselves with every hit they make. Like Clash of Clans, you may find the earlier levels boring, but when you get the cannon at HQ level six, you will like the game a lot.

These games are both very fun. They do not crash often. The graphics are good and they make you feel calm. Both of these games are free and do not require any real money unless you want to buy gems. These games get really easy once you know what to do.

I personally find these to be great time passers, but you’ll need access to the internet to play. You can chat with your friends on these two games. They are both very fun!

My advice to you is to max out everything before upgrading your Town Hall or HQ.
