Are you a new “Clasher”? Do you want to become an expert “Clasher” in quick time? Here are some tips for you.

Clash of Clans, from Supercell, has generated significant excitement in the gaming world. And while the game could be a little tricky for beginners, it becomes easier as you progress and discover the secrets.

To get you started and further speed up your progress, here are some of the best tricks for you.

Best Clash of Clans Tips and Tricks

1. Don’t hasten upgrade

Most Clashers are known to upgrade at any given opportunity, which, in the long run, is to their own detriment. In fact, if you upgrade when you’re not ready, your progress would be impeded.

Hence, ensure your village and buildings are properly defended and developed before upgrading.

2. Your Shield; Your Life!

If your village is under attack and you’re on the losing side, do not hesitate to use your shield. Typically, you get a 12-hour shield or a 4-hour shield, depending on the level of damage inflicted on your village.

While using your shield to defend against enemy attack, focus on rebuilding; do NOT attack during this time.

3. Defend with multiple walls

This is a good defence strategy, which is unknown to many “Clashers”. The more sets of walls you erect, the more protected you are against enemy attacks.

4. Protect elixirs at all cost

Queue up troops in your village’s barracks when under attack, and make all efforts to maintain the queue. This way, you are able to protect your elixirs.

5. Drop trophies

Sounds strange, right? Well, it’s actually a trick that plays out in the long run. By dropping your trophies, you get matched with relatively weaker (inferior) opponents. This may require you to lose some battles, but at no point should you lose your elixirs.

6. Upgrade troops with dark elixirs

You can unlock dark elixirs at level 7 and level 8 (Town Hall). Once you get the elixirs (via raids or drilling), use them to upgrade your “hero class troops”.

7. Save Spells for later stages

Spells are highly valuable and hard to recover. Hence, save them for the later stages, where you’d really need them to defeat tougher enemies.

Experiencing the “black screen” error on Clash of Clans? This piece’s for you

Clash of Clans is one of the most popular mobile games out there. And enthusiastic gamers, who are looking to optimize their gaming experience, often seek to enjoy the game on PC. To achieve this, an emulator like “BlueStacks App Player” is required.

However, a notorious error associated with playing CoC on PC (using BlueStacks) is the system freeze/crash error, which blackens out your screen

To fix this “black screen” error, follow through this guide.

Fix: Clash of Clans Black Screen

While game crashing is not new to CoC mobile gamers, this black screen error is definitely new. The black screen is basically associated with some form of conflicts between CoC and the “interceding” BlueStacks Player (on PC).

In any case, you can try some of the workarounds below:

Method 1: Restart BlueStacks

To do this:

• go to “Task Manager”
• locate “BlueStacks” and right-click on it, and then select “Restart”.

Try and restart your game, and see if the “black screen” error is fixed. If it persists, try the next fix.

Method 2: Reinstall CoC in BlueStacks

To do this, you’d have to uninstall the game first, before reinstalling it.

Follow the simple steps below to run this procedure:

• Launch BlueStacks on your PC.
• Find and click on “Clash of Clans”
• Locate and click on the “Uninstall” option.
• Confirm uninstallation (as prompted) and restart PC.

Then, reinstall a fresh (updated) package of the game.

Method 3: Reinstall BlueStacks

The “black screen” error, as emphasized earlier, could be caused by an issue(s) with the emulator (BlueStacks). Hence, you can try uninstalling/reinstalling it and see if fixes the error.

This procedure is technically a reset, which removes the entire program (including inherent apps and settings), and provides you with the latest – updated – version.

After reinstalling BlueStacks, reinstall Clash of Clans, and start enjoying your game unhindered.

Method 4: Update Drivers

Games require up-to-date graphics drivers to function properly. Hence, if/when this error occurs, it’s possible that your graphics cards are out-of-date.

Furthermore, try and check for updates on your PC, and install available updates, as appropriate.
