Clash of Clans Town Hall 7 Upgrade OrderGuide: TH7 Priorities

Please Share If You Found These Strategies Helpful!

Going from Town Hall 6 to Town Hall 7 is one of the biggest upgrades in Clash of Clans. This TownHall level brings with it a huge number of new towers and upgrades, often leading players to a lot of

confusion and indecision over which building or upgrade to get rst. In this guide, we will be

discussing which upgrades should get priority and what exactly you should be focusing on rst to

maximize your advancement through this Town Hall level.

Builder #1: Laboratory > Spell Factory

Your rst free builder should be used to start the Laboratory upgrade. The level 5 Laboratoryunlocked at Town Hall 7 is capable of researching level 4 upgrades for most of your core units,

making it your most important upgrade at Town Hall 7.

Once this rst builder is done upgrading the Laboratory, start level 4 Archer or Barbarians as your

rst priority for Elixir spending. Once you start that upgrade and have enough spare elixir, take this

newly freed builder and start upgrading the Spell Factory.

Builder #2: Army Camp > Barracks > Barracks Level 2 > Army Camp Upgrades

At Town Hall 7, you get a new Army Camp. This additional Army Camp is one of the easiest ways to

increase your oensive repower. Build this new Army Camp as your second order of business after

starting your Laboratory.

This new Army Camp will only take a few minutes to build. Once it nishes, use the newly freed

builder #2 to start your new Barracks. Upgrade this Barracks to level 2. This will not take very long.

This Barracks will now be able to signicantly boost production and pump out Archers or Barbarians

to help you farm faster.

As soon as the level 2 Barracks nishes, take Builder #2 and go back to the new Army Camp. Do not

stop upgrading the Army Camp with this builder until the Army Camp is maxed out.

Builder #3: Walls > Dark Elixir Storage

Given that your builders will be working on elixir-based upgrades for awhile, you should start to

build up a lot of gold. Before starting any structures with your third builder, go ahead and place all of

your new walls at Town Hall 7. You get 50 new walls at TH7, so there should be plenty to spend your

gold on here.

After placing your walls, use this builder to start your Dark Elixir Storage. While it may seem strange

to place this non-oensive building as a top priority, understand that without it, you actually cannot

collect or store Dark Elixir. You will want to start saving for your Barbarian King (and its upgrades) as

soon as possible going into Town Hall 7, so it is important to get this storage structure down as soon

as possible.

Town Hall 7 Upgrade Priority: The Next Tasks

If you have more than 3 builders, you can start on this section right away with your 4th builder.

Otherwise, when the 3 builders above complete their most important tasks, they can move on to this

section. Note that some builders will get here sooner than the others (namely builder #3). This is

intentional; once the Dark Elixir storage structure is down, we need to work towards protecting it.

Task #1. Place all level 1 towers and traps aside from the Hidden Tesla.

At Town Hall 7, players get 2 new Cannons, 1 new Archer Tower, 1 new Mortar, 1 new Air Defense,and a number of new traps. Place all of these structures and traps. Do not worry about upgrades;

just build the new structures. It only takes around 14 hours of build time to complete all of these

towers. Hidden Tesla towers will come later; they take too long to build to start now.

Task #2. Rearrange your base to a great TH7 defense.

Now that you have all of your structures down (aside from the Hidden Tesla towers), it is time to

rearrange your base to something more appropriate for a Town Hall 7 player. Check my Town Hall 7

Base Layout Guidefor details.

We will not have a Barbarian King or the HIdden Tesla towers yet, but this is okay. Place a gold mine

or storage structure in the Barbarian Kings slot and leave the Hidden Teslas slot open. Your would-

be opponent has no idea whether or not you have Hidden Tesla towers yet, so no loss there.

Task #3. Upgrade all basic towers to their maximum level that requires less than 1 day of

building time.

Next, work on getting all upgrades for your brand-new towers that require less than 1 day of

building time. This will result in the fastest increase in your defensive capabilities versus upgrading

old towers.

Task #4. Upgrade your Dark Elixir Storage.

While you will be no where near maxing out on your Dark Elixir Storage space this early into leveling

up, upgrading your Dark Elixir Storage serves another purpose: it increases the health of this

structure.

Consider that loot stolen is a percentage of damage dealt, and that the rst 10%-20% of the damagedealt to a Dark Elixir Storage structure results in little loot for the attacker. Increasing the health of

the Dark Elixir Storage means that 300 damage dealt to this structure will result in less loot being

taken by the opponent.

When would just 300 damage be dealt to this structure? From a Lightning Spell of course! Upgrading

your Dark Elixir storage structure actually oers a signicant reduction in the amount of Dark Elixir

stolen during Lightning Spell attacks as much as 20-30% less loot stolen if you are not carrying

much in the rst place! This style of attack is extremely common you will be surprised how much

Dark Elixir you save in the long-run by maxing our your DE Storage.

Task #5. Place your Hidden Tesla Towers.

After placing all of your new towers, getting early upgrades on those towers, and setting up a TH7

defense, you are now ready to add your Hidden Tesla towers. Start building them as you save

enough gold.

Task #6. Pull 1 Builder for Barracks & Dark Barracks Upgrade Duty

You should strive to upgrade all of your Barracks to level 9 during your time at Town Hall 7.

However, if you upgrade too many Barracks at once, your production will be so low it will be hard to

raid. It is easiest to just pull 1 builder at this point and have this builder always upgrading Barracks. It

will take about 3 weeks to max out all 4 Barracks, but it is worth it.

When this builder nishes upgrading all of the regular Barracks, have this builder start on the Dark

Barracks. When the Dark Barracks is nished, have this same builder upgrade it to level 2.

Note: Only upgrade the Barracks as you have the spare Elixir. Upgrading units at the Laboratory still

takes precedence.

Task #7 (Final). Upgrade existing defensive structures and add additional structures as

resources build.

By this point, upgrade priority is not terribly important. Slowly work on maxing out your existingdefensive towers. I recommend trying not to upgrade more than 1 Mortar or more than 1 Air

Defense at once; upgrading both Air Defense towers or multiple Mortars will leave your base

vulnerable to certain attacks.


4/11



As your Elixir builds, you can start on the Dark Barracks and upgrade it to level 2. This is a very low

priority building as I do not recommend spending Dark Elixir at this level on anything other than the

Barbarian King. Speaking of the Barbarian King, the altar should be placed as soon as you get

enough Dark Elixir. The king should be upgraded immediately each time you reach the Dark Elixir

requirements for the next level.

Walls should be upgraded as your resources build. Never let your resources fully max out; if this ishappening, you should be spending some resources on walls as you go along to keep your resources

from being wasted.

Your base should be mostly maxed out before moving on to Town Hall 8. The exceptions are Gold

Mines, Elixir Collectors, the Barbarian King, and all research that requires Dark Elixir. These do not

need to be maxed out in order to move onto Town Hall 8. It is much easier to get Dark Elixir at TH8

as opposed to TH7; you can max out your Barbarian King at TH8 much more readily than TH7. Even

at TH8, you will not max our your Dark Elixir research before moving on to TH9.

Perfect timing for me. My TH7 build completes in a couple days.

Should the rst sentence:

Going from Town Hall 7 to Town Hall 8

be this instead:

Fixed, thanks!

Im wondering about how high to upgrade walls initially. Ive read your wall guide, which suggests

level 5-6. That is signicant gold. For the TH7 base layout, I was thinking of using my existing level 6

walls for the main core walls and then use level 3 or so for the outer west, north, east walls and

prioritize the gold for new buildings and Teslas. It seems those outer walls wouldnt be commonly

attacked by ground troops, as theyd moved to the funnel openings. Eventually, those walls would be

upgraded just looking to get all new structures in place more quickly. What do you think about

that plan?

Well you should never delay buildings in lieu of walls, but I found it very easy to get all walls up tolevel 5. Were talking 40k per wall * 50 walls thats only about 2 million resources. Spread over a

few days, upgrading walls as builders become free, it should be pretty easy to get.

I did mostly a similar build as Mark; happened to have over 1 million gold after TH upgrade so I

wasted it all on a hidden tesla. After that made a town with your TH7 layout and placed all the new

level 1 structures at their proper places (now in the middle of upgrading them). I used my old TH6

maxed walls for the inner core (theres nicely enough tiles for this) and built the outer rim with new

wall pieces (currently mixed with lvl 3 & 4 pieces). Havent yet been even close to a 50% defeat; most

people just destroy the town hall and leave.

Great, glad its working

I decided to follow Osiris recommendations listed in this guide and postpone the Teslas for a bit. I

had about 2.5 million gold going into TH7 with capped 2 million storage and mostly full collectors. 50

level 5 walls cost 2.3 million, so I still had about 300k to spend on the initial tower upgrades. As Imentioned, I used the gold walls on the most outside walls of the funnel that was 47 wall, so it

worked out quite nicely and it does feel good to have those gold level 5 walls just one upgrade away

from matching the core level 6 walls.

Great, glad it worked out.

Great guide. You did not mention when to purchase and build the dark barracks and when to

upgrade. Can you make a suggestion please.

Last (or close to last) structure you should build. I cant fathom spending Dark Elixir on units at TH7.

Yo Osiris buddy! Remember me?

Heard what happened to your Youtube channel and I dont know what to say. Ive asked Daddy

(another clash of clans Youtuber) and hes never heard it happening before. Usually its a sta

member who reviews the case if the channel has 1000+ views but I guess Youtubes growing and

things have to change.

Anyways are you on the Clash of Clans forums at all? Id love to be friends with you on it? My

usernames ArguedOyster57 if you want to friend me.

Also congrats on the website growing (even if your Youtube channel is out of commission.)

Apparently youre about the 165,000 most visited website worldwide and 70,000 in the US, according

to Alexa from Amazon! Youre about tied with another big Clashing fan, Allclash.com, in that position.

Best of luck in the future!

Thanks, and yes I remember! I think it had to be an automated response, or at least very absolutelyminimal investigation, because the timestamp on the email I received notifying me of the closure

was only 1 minute later than the timestamp on the email notifying me that my video was agged.

I dont have an account on the supercell forums, but I do browse there from time to time. Feel free

to drop in and comment any time, I try to read and reply to every comment. Not giving up on getting

my YT account back yet.

Im wondering just for reference purposes, what level is considered maxed out in regards to

defensive structures (towers, cannons, mortars, etc). As in what level should i upgrade all of these

defensive structures to before going to town hall 8. Also what order should I upgrade my defensive

structures in? I see a lot online about going splash rst (mortars and wizard towers). So basically

what order should i upgrade my defensive structures at town hall 7 and what level should i upgrade

them all to before going to town hall 8?

maxed out is the highest level the tower can be upgraded to at that particular town hall level. In the

defensive towers section of the site, you can nd tables with the max level for each tower by TownHall level. All your towers should be the highest level possible before the Town Hall 8 upgrade

nishes.

The order isnt terribly important. Splash towers rst is a good idea in general, but its important not

to upgrade more than 1 splash tower type at a time in my opinion. There are other factors to

consider, like cost and time to completion. You want to stagger your builders so that you can

upgrade walls as builders become free, rather than upgrade towers based on tower type. I think that

is more ecient than focusing on one tower versus the other. Air Defense towers need to be

upgraded early though, since they take forever to nish and you never want to upgrade more than

one at once.

For task #7, Im thinking it might be good to prioritize the Wizard Towers rst, while there is little to

no dark elixir to raid. Better than upgrading them later when there is a decent amount in storage. I

guess they could also be upgraded just after spending dark elixir, as well.

Sounds like a good idea. It needs to t in with time to completion if you want to stagger builders to

save resources for walls.

Would you make any changes to this piece, taking the newest update in to consideration? Walls

upgrading with elixer for example?

Same sort of thing applies.. farm to gold/elixir cap if you can while builders are busy, then spend

spare Gold/Elixir on walls, leaving just enough to start your upgrades. Repeat the process over and

over throughout TH7 and youll have maxed walls right as TH7 is nishing up.

thank you for this page, i nd this very useful for me most specially upgrading dark elixir storage. i

understand this applies to other storage type as well.

i actually speedup my base to townhall 7 so i am still catching up and just completed maxing out all

up to th6 level (including new added except for lab and spell factory) because this is the advise of my

friend for various advantage reasons over the cons.

with the recent update and the diculty of looting elixer, any changes of order for the above

particularly on air defense?

Hey bud,

I love your site. You convey your thoughts and ideas very clearly and concisely; not many people

have this ability. My upgrade to TH 7 is almost complete. At what point did you upgrade your gold

and elixir storages? Im a pretty procient raider with all ve builders at my disposal. Even with the

ve builders Im able to drive my loot levels up to the cap limits of the town halls Ive been at. Ill be

dumping excess elixir and gold into walls as needed, but Id like to make sure I have a high enough

storage ceiling to start immediately on new projects as builders become available and not have to

stop raiding temporarily because Ive hit the limit. Im currently maxed at the TH 6 limit of 2M for

both gold and elixir. Thanks for input, youve been a great mentor from afar.

Fairly early on; check the upgrade priority videos for specics. I upgraded them earlier at TH8/TH9

then I did at earlier levels.
