Special- How to build an Effective Village in Clash of Clans (COC)

Clash of Clans is an game for your ios or android that enables you to apply strategy and probability. It may
not seem like it, but it is indeed true. You may not be the best player, you might be a noob, a beginner, or a novice who is just tired of losing trophies and getting de-ranked to lower leagues. Well, it has to depend on two things, who attacks you and how your village is organized.

Here are some rules that you need to follow in order to ever be good in COC:

• Never leave you town hall on the outside, even if you surround it with defences, a quick rage and healing potion can easily grant that person a star and guarantees his/her victory.
• Always upgrade your defences and barracks to the highest lvl possible before you upgrade your town hall.
• Always use your walls to lead your opponents' troops into your traps. 
• When attacking, always make sure that you go for the town hall if it is on the outside. Always use the lightning potion to take out the mortars if you are using archers. (Mortars have less range than wizard towers)
• Send in your Barbarian King as a last resort when attacking, it is useful for the King to fight during
  
  defence battles.

Now that you have the basics to Clash of Clans, you must learn how to build a good, strong base.  Your main goal for defence is to protect your loot and prevent other people from stealing your loot. The best way to do this, since you will most likely not have enough walls to protect your entire village is that you must always put your storages surrounded by walls. It is also usually a good idea to put it at the center along with your town hall. It is also a good idea if you put your mortar at the center. Since mortars have long range, they also have the least amount of health and are very vulnerable to lightning potions. 2 lightning potions can destroy a mortar. My village has a Barbarian King, Town Hall 7, dark elixir storage, mortar and 2 wizard towers at the center surrounded by my best walls. Here's the most important thing. Make sure that you have
at least two defence guarding the things that you might decide to put outside so that they could start dealing damage as soon as possible. Also, always put your army camps, barracks, spell factories, and clan castle on the outside because they usually have no use to you at all. Usually, you would put the clan castle within the walls, but thanks to the new update by Supercell, enemy troops can no longer steal loot from the clan castle. That is all the essentials you need in order to have a good village in Clash of Clans.
You can join clan Aftermath using the advanced search options: War frequency: Always. Trophies required: 800. In the clan, you should see at least one of these elders: Naruto, King Zeus, Raymond.
Thanks.
