I made a new f2p account 7ish months ago, it's town hall 15 now. Can't wait to see other 7 month maxers (early-mid town hall 11) try to 3 star through a lv 2 monolith, 2 rage towers, 2 scattershots, and giga poison. I will easily 3 star you back with just my lv 90 queen charge. Maxing is the game of the past. Trust me, I've played since 2013. If you're good at attacking, you can be in challenger 1 cwl after just a year, trading blow for blow with max th16s.
@@w4rd44there was a time where bases would be matched in war based on overall defense strength. So a th10 maynot upgrade their defenses much and end up match with lower th in wars and their attack always three stars
Personally I always max my base, but if you watch BDLegend you'll understand how rushing is way faster to get to a maxed TH15-16. And while behing a easy 3 star, a rushed TH can have the same offensive power as an unrushed. And btw traps are way more important than cannon or mortar, that's why bomb tower is so strong to counter blizzard
To be fair a maxed TH12 is just as easy of a 3 star as is a rushed TH15. In CWL war weight doesnt even matter and neither does it in regular CW, unless you are in your clans top 5
I find it funny that in coc, rushing ur base is extremely controversial but in BB (boom beach) it’s encouraged because of the advantage of having an mainly offensive stuff
Rushing is the fastest way to max because you don’t have to wait to max heros, you can get the best usage of magic items, you don’t waste resources, and you can upgrade things like pets earlier which you wouldn’t normally even be able to upgrade until you played the game for a year or two.
There's a little rushing you can do by skipping just 1 level on some defenses like Mortars and other less meaningful defenses, or not maxing your walls but leaving some of them 1 lv behind is fine, as sometimes if you are almost ready to upgrade town hall, and you lack only heroes, or only walls, you are stuck at not using all of your deposit's rss which slows your progression, just by a bit
ya even if u just buy passes and some of the cheaper deals they offer in a year u can get from th 1 all the way to 15 with all the important stuff maxed and plenty of small upgrades for time fillers n such still and have max walls and decent hero lvls too...even with the addition of 16 I'll easily max within the next year and spend less this year cuz it's all behind me now...also with the addition of 16 alot of the buildings I skipped got major time reductions saving even more time overall
Rush base is another form of engineered base that used to appear in clan battle ( lower defenses levels mean lower level enemy ) But only if their offensive capability are comparable to their respective town hall would be considered an Engineered base
First time I played coc, I always rushed because was always keen to get new buildings and troops as fast as I could. Few years later playing the game again, I took it much more slow and maxed out my base before upgrading th. After unfortunately losing that account, I wasnt gonna go through that again so I ended up rushing once more.
I personally think you can advance to the next TH level as far as your Heroes ,Troops, and Spells are 90-95% complete. Because waiting on defenses in kind of pointless since you’ll have the lab standing idle which isn’t the best allocation for farming
Well fyi lab takes the longest to max out of any other building, so by the time you are 50-60% max in lab you'll already be 100% maxed in defenses n other stuffs long
@@Shrey_Yash I really hope you're joking, as far as i know, you can't get Raid Medal Builder Potions in the trader, and they rarely appear on Event Rewards. Unlike Research Potions however.
My base used to be really badly rushed to town hall 11/12, but I’ve been slowly fixing it. That gold pass is key. I also found interest in the game again because I finally found attack strategies that actually work.
Probably the shallowest take on the topic I've ever seen. No proper mention of the engineered townhall 11s and 10s, as well as a fundamental misunderstanding of rushing meta. A proper blitz base can reach townhall 16 in around 2-3 months with a max troop combination for a specific generalist attack (say e-drags + balloons). This is absurdly powerful for leagues, especially in the current meta, you have what is essentially a maxed out attack, complete with level 95 heroes (thanks to the reworked hero potion), with the only thing taking a a bit longer being the equipments. You can also properly use your magic items without being wasteful, instead of playing normally and having to spend a book of building to save just a couple of days, you can easily save weeks worth of time after th 14. Lastly, saying there's no point to donor bases is incredibly shortsighted, the ammount of extra potions and resources you can get by not spending those medals is quite significant, and make a huge difference on the long run. Im just so dissapointed in this video, thought I'd get some nice discussion on the pros and cons of rushing while actully looking at what people with functining brains do when they rush, but instead it's just beating the strawman "ooh I don't wan't to wait a bit longer so I'll destroy my account, and hold my clan back hur dur" rusher. Taking five minutes to actually search what people are doing in 2023 would have helped this video significantly, but I guess you couldn't be bothered.
@@randall517Hahahaha. Try it out. Most rushers with a brain max out their core defenses. I’d really like to see a TH12 smashing a base that has full maxed Monolith, Inferno Towers, X-Bows, Eagle, Scattershots and TH Weapon (also maxed CC which means more troops for defense) while the rusher got there in like half the time the maxer got to fully max th12
I watched some of his other videos and realized he has no clue what he's talking about. If you ignore that, his scripts are not bad. It's funny how he can even stretch an 8 minute video with no information on the game.
@@randall517 If the rusher can pop 2 potions and 3 star you with 1/10 of their army, idk if that is an easy war win for you. If they're good they can knock 6 stars off your top 2.
@MichaelXie-cf7se that is if they can 3, then its a wash with their easy base. I like my odds against a rushed base. We war and win a lot and see how many terrible players there are in this game. If someone is good, they probably arent rushing.
This is why I have two bases, One th12 in road to be maxed and a rushed th15 that I use as a playground whenever I get bored of maxing the other base ☠️
Rushing nowadays is incredibly tempting because if you build your base normally your waisting a lot of elixir. You’re better off focusing on just upgrading the best troops and then upgrading the town hall.
Yeah that’s literally what I’m going through rn. I started a new base. I’m town hall 4 rn and the amount of things I can upgrade with my exlir is so minimal meanwhile I still have a lot of stuff to do with my gold. I think I’m just gonna go to TH5
Speaking from personal experience and a veteran 2014 coc player. In modern coc rushing is only putting yourself in the negative because coc now has skill based matchmaking. In the past engineering was the most optimal way because you could play the system making it think you were way weaker. But now it's much harder because you have to build every building. Just take your time i guarantee you will have a much better playing experience
You clearly have no clue what you're talking about. A maxed base has the exact same offensive power as a rushed one, and since offense is so much more important than defense in this game, rushing is worth it. Rushing will, in the end, let you max your base at least a year earlier in most cases.
Bad take I started in 2014 and they won't give my account back so now I have a rushed th16 with the last 15 lvls of heros left all core defenses maxed and walls one lvl off max
I joined clash of clans this April with one of my friends. We were rushing just to prove a point that who has higher th level as we only knew that th level determines your progress. It was like July or August when I added one of my another friend who showed me his base and I'm like wow, i wanna be like him. I was at town hall 12 back then. No I don't regret rushing as it was way more fun to unlock new buildings and defences. Getting new troops and spells. Using giant w/ archers, then wizards and then dragons to later shift on e drag. It was fun. I wish I could rush but now it doesn't seem that good now that I've the mentality in mind that rushing is bad.
I have 3 CoC accounts. The first is my main, an almost maxed TH12 that i’ve been playing for 9+ years. The second is my mini, a maxed TH10 that just moved to TH11. Lastly there’s my rush, a TH13 that I am rushing in a very specific way. This account is different as I’m working to just have every single thing the same as a max TH11 then just move up. I only want this so I can one day have 1 account that keeps up with the yearly town hall releases. If/when I do catch up I will go back and upgrade things up to max slowly, but I just want one base that’s maxed since I know my main and mini will never be.
I personally don't like rushing my bases, but it low-key seems like supercell is trying to help rushers because of the buffs to the hero and power potions going from +5 and lab max respectively to both boosting to max level at your TH. But on the other hand they've destroyed rushing because hero levels are now based on how active you are at getting the star bonus and doing good in war which requires good troops and heroes and you can get that with potions but you can't potion your base so you drag your clan down in war, in which losing more than halves your purple gem rates. Some RU-vidrs advocate rushing to get the best magic item value especially if you pay for gems and shop offers cause you can stack items while rushing up but you still need to upgrade a fair amount before you get value that's worth the money.
its just boring to spent so much time leveling all the walls, traps, mortars, tropps that you dont use, etc.... it takes way to long when it dosnt feel like you ned it even when you rush
My personal opinion rush your first base and when it starts to get slow and grindy do your second base properly then you have your first base to donate to your second base plus your second base to keep you interested in the game plus eventually having to bases in a war is always fun
On my base, I actually did rush a bit between TH levels 8 - 11. Right now I'm in the process of basically playing catch up though, because I want my base to look cool and be hard to 3 star at the same time, which tends to involve leaving my base to idle for weeks on end letting all the loot pile up from people that attacked me, and taking advantage of the bonus loot by getting enough stars from attacking. By *far* the hardest part of playing catch up has been the prices for upgrading my walls though
I have ran a successful war clan for a few years now. We don't allow rushed bases including heroes. Over the years we have had a few rushed bases and it always shows in war results. Even if the player can once in a while 3* they literally always get destroyed on defence and the weight of having them on matchmaking is never worth it.
I mean, if you have one of the old rushed bases with less buildings, during wars you're usually paired up against a lower level mirror, so it's also pretty easy to 3 star your mirror and you can also get more stars against the one above if you upgraded your troops. You're easier to beat, but your mirror problably won't be able to 3 star you easily, maybe requiring someone else better to waste an attack, and also you can attack people above your mirror, which helps a lot!
"Are you playing a game?" Yes. "Are you having fun doing what you do?" Yes. It's a game. People have fun in their own ways. If someone wants to rush, who cares? If they're in a clan which is cool with it then fine. Personally I never rush. Not defenses, troops, spells, heroes, walls - I personally like seeing a FULLY maxed base before going up. I don't care about efficiency. It is what I find fun.
its fun and games until you realize nobody wants you in a clan war and don't make the point "i could use potions and 3 star" because leaders don't care because if you too get 3 stared it means shit , def not worth it.
I’m rushing my next town hall. I’m at a fully maxed TH lvl 14. I’m going to build the new requirements for TH 15 then upgrade to 16 lil a month later. I’m tired of always being behind.
As a th9, imagine you want hero pets and you have to wait YEARS to get to that state, no wonder ppl rush, and by the time you get ther 3 more th are out
For me it’s about being efficient. With the new update just a few days ago, even though I just started th 13, I will be rushing to th14. I have a big addiction to factory games like satisfactory that allow for extreme optimization. Having things like pets and and better resource miners is a significant improvement, with the only drawback maybe losing 20k a fight due to having to drop a rank or two to be able to 2 or 3 star people.
You can get max out your heroes and strong troop easier and faster than without rushing. And you can also donate those maxed out troop to your clanmates in clan war and clan game. But new equipment systems destroyed that aspect of rushing too.
I have a full level 1 (apart from collectors, barracks etc) town hall 15 and the defences are so strong that not even an average player at th 13 can 3 star. Also, having all the troops is helpful in war since you can boost them to the maximum level for easy 3 stars.
since super goblin exists, farming never been issue so rushed is one of the best thing to do. High TH mean high CWL oportunity, more value of hammer etc. As long i get max wall, max heavy defense like inferno, x-bow, air defense, i'll go rush instantly.
A big reason not mentioned is Strategic Rushing. Back then, magic items didn’t exist but nowadays you can rush up to a high level and use these on high value upgrades to mathematically max yourself out infinitely faster than the normal way. This used to not be a thing
I'm honestly surprised this hasn't become mainstream yet. I've already passed many of my friends in hero/troop levels after only a few months of playing when they have been playing since nearly the release of the game. If anyone wants more info check out creators like BD Legend
Well the new town hall supposed to come out after 18 months of the previous new town hall update but I am not sure why but they decided to release it earlier @@Razor1473
i just hink that as a new player its takes so much time and it fees worthless to pursue a base since it takes such long time. i would hope they could add a season mode or something so everyone got a fresh start every month or so
one of the reasons i didn't rush is because of the decreased percentage of loot you get if you attack a townhall lower than you. So if you rush you will get less loot and if you also rushed your troops then you won't be able to attack the townhalls your level or even higher ones.
Engineered bases were killed by the TH12 update, where you were forced to build all defenses before being able to up the TH. I had maxed out TH11 attack while being matched with TH8s in clan war. Fun times indeed😂❤
I only liked that because my clan got a couple of them ourselves, but it was a bad thing for the game. Having the top 4 being beaten by the bottom 2 of the enemy wasn't fair
I do rushing because its an incredibly fun way to play the game. I play for weeks at a time then stop for months before returning I have a main acc that's th11 near max and a th13 with th8-9 defenses. It used to be all lv1-3 but supercell added that builder upgrades during long times of absence
I had a rushed base, tried for fix it for a few years (it was rushed from 7 to 12) and eventually set up a non-rushed alt. Played the alt like a once a week, but evenutally lost the main account and when i sorta checked the alt i realised it was th 8 and about the same level as my main in terms of defences, anyway im th12 now (just updraded to it this week) and have maxed th 11 to get here.
Supercell also buffed rushing recently so that the hero potion will always max out heroes instead of 5 levels, allowing these rushed bases to not have too many downsides on offense
As a co leader with a maxed out th and 2 little rushed accounts i just see it as win to have a bit variation. We even did start a clanwars with some rushed accounts to fill in blank gaps in clanswars. While maybe those accounts are easy beatable those are also accounts that can 3 star the counter enemy accounts aswell so it kinda depends on the activity of the enemy. In the end it all comes down to the enemies top 3 numbers if the war is a win or not
Im rushing as a new player whenever i feel tired of the current TH. Spend quite some time at 11 and 12 and am now 5 months away from being maxed TH14. Will rush to TH16 in 2 months because i dont like how TH15 looks.
I don’t rush simply because I don’t like the way the base looks when it’s rushed. But I don’t get upset at people who rush because everyone is allowed to play the game the way that they want to.
I like how as you upgrade your shit , it goes from medieval to sci Fi , really feels like your town is upgrading and traveling through time from the stone age to medieval age to the future age as you play
I just got back into the game a month ago and rushed to TH9 just for fun. When I last played, 10 was the highest TH so I wanted to see how quick I could get there. Of course this led to me having a horrible time and I had to stop at 9, lol. So a couple weeks ago I started a new village and have had much more fun just taking my time with it. Maxing most things except collectors because I raid for my resources. I just hit TH6 and am enjoying the experience much more since I’m actually competent for both defense and offense. I’m still correcting my rushed TH9, it’s just gonna take a while😂
Tbh I'm a rusher because I don't wanna spend an eternity waiting for the cool stuff when I can just rush and try them early like eagle artillery x-bow and scatter shot
I once had a „no defense“ account, which is now my th14 donation account, where i SLOWLY „fix that rush“ (like 1 attack per week & buy everything eith different medals) This account is also great in CWL, becausei can use maxed troops to triple a hard opponent, that our second best account (th13 in last cwl, now th14) has no chance against
IMO, I think rushing can be more fun because you can make really fun attacks with the troops you unlock while rushing, and, you can also do that in a normal playthrou to make things a bit faster, like I did, where I rushed from TH3 to TH8-TH9, and today, I'm th10 maxed TH 9 and very close to get maxed TH10 but for the elixir producers, archers and canons, 2 wizards and the air sweeper. (Of course, a bit of walls too.)
In a clan I was in years ago I had a clan mate who would only donate poisons to rushed players. One thanked him for the poison but he said back “that’s not to help you 3 star that’s to drink for rushing”
Rushing until you can max your economy buildings are fine since you can get more out of them if you get them earlier. I think in current state of the game the last upgrade for goldmines is TH-13
Literally people don’t know when they are rushing initially But when it takes significantly longer to upgrade a building and it gives you new content why would you wait when you’re new to the game and do not know?
Maxed th15 gone to 16 I started almost 8 years ago not f2p sometimes but the gold pass I started a rush 3 years ago and it helps a lot in war especially good since the new update you need to be winning the wars
I Rushed when I used to play because everything in Clash of Clans takes forever to upgrade. I hate how long it takes to upgrade everything. Now I refuse to play because I just don't have the patience to wait 24 hours to upgrade an Archer tower.
The only thing I’ve ever rushed is my lab (for reference I’m a th11 and I’m 25 days from 25 in terms of structures, and 4 months in lab) I’ve been buying research potions to try and catch it up but it’s a lot
I’ve beeen playing since maybe 2014-2015, I’m still townhall 10 but that’s cause I don’t want to rush. I play it for the long run I’ll eventually catch up and if I don’t oh well.
I rush my main base BIG TIME lol. But for some reason i refuse to do that with my builder base. It has to be maxed, or at least everything i believe needs to be, before proceeding.
Ima be honest I was maxed th12 exept heroes. I rushed to th13 cuz I feel like the hero levels aren't that much important nowadays since supercell added gears.
personally I have a rush and a non rush base, cause the matchmaking in the leagues also is umbalanced, last league on gold 1, I needed to do a th14, with my th12 max, and with the rush base was a th14 vs 14 and i was able to do a 3 star, my defense was good and they did 2 stars, also in normal wars, sometimes I see th8s vs ths 9s or 10s max and so on
Back when I actively play CoC I would turn one of my accounts into a donation account. At the time TH13 was more than enough to get high level to max troops. Now I barely play and none of my accounts serve any practical purpose.
