TH5: Upgrade Order
The most important aspect of farming efficiently as a Town Hall 5 player actually does not have much to do with
attack strategy. Massing Barbarians is an easy strategy to use. Instead, I wanted to take some time to discuss
how you should focus on upgrading your buildings in order to maximize your farming ability with this build.
As soon as Town Hall 5 finishes, you want to use your two builders to increase your Barbarians’ numbers and
strength. Use 1 builder to start building your new Army Camp and the other builder to start upgrading the
Research Lab. While this latter upgrade takes awhile, it is worth getting right away.
If you have three builders, use the third builder to start upgrading old Army Camps. If you only have two
builders, as soon as the Army Camp you built finishes, upgrade it and keep doing so until it is at max level.
Since all of these buildings and upgrades cost elixir so far, be sure to dump spare gold into extra walls or
upgrading preexisting walls in between Army Camp upgrades.
Once your Laboratory upgrade finishes, make it your top priority to start researching 3-Star Barbarians.
Use both builders to max out all 3 Army Camps at this point. Continue spare gold into walls.
Once you have maxed out your Army Camps and finished researching level 3 Barbarians, your farming ability
will be very high. At this point, you can raid quickly with a strong yet very cheap and fast to train 135 Barbarian
army that is very hard to stop at this level.
Upgrade whatever you like at your own pace from here. I prefer to upgrade the Barracks at night or once TH6
has started, as upgrading the Barracks will naturally slow down your ability to produce new Barbarians for
raiding. Try to max out your base entirely before starting the TH6 upgrade.
TH5 Farming Goals
At Town Hall 5, your goal for each raid should be 100,000 combined resources (i.e. 70k gold + 30k elixir
equals 100k combined resources, as does 30k gold and 70k elixir). The 100k recommended total of course
assumes that you need both Elixir and Gold. If you are storage capped or simply finished up with either elixir
or gold, you should try and get at least 70k of the resource type you still need (i.e. if you are just upgrading
your walls before upgrading, shoot for 70k+ gold per raid).
With 135 Barbarians for a maxed Town Hall 5 army, 3 Barracks to produce them, and 20 seconds to train a
Barbarian, you can make a fully-maxed army every 15 minutes. By netting 100k combined resources every
15 minutes, you can average out to a minimum of 400k combined resources an hour. Really, your average
raid will probably be closer to 150k combined or 100k of an individual resource type as the 100k
combined / 70k individual is the minimum requirements to attack and sometimes you will find better bases to attack.
By targeting gold only, you are looking at making 280k to 400k gold per hour. Given that it takes about 3.4
million gold to max out your walls at this level (assuming you finished Town Hall 4 with maxed walls), you
are looking at about 10 hours of farming to max out your walls (if you were to raid immediately after your
Barbarians finished.
With the help of this strategy, you can actually cap your Walls at Town Hall 5 in a single day if you attack
each time your Barbarians finish and keep them training constantly, all without spending any gems. It can
be done even faster if you skip around for 125k+ gold bases. However, if you are like most of the population
and cannot play on your phone for a few minutes out of every 15 minutes for 10 hours straight, it will still
take you a few days to cap out your walls.
