Why Rushing Is So Controversial In Clash of Clans...

“Traps aren’t that important anymore” me seeing my entire army get destroyed after going into a minefield

I personally LOVE rushed bases, they're always good for an easy 3-star, keep it up rushers! :)

How did you not mention engineered bases in a video about rushing. They don’t exist anymore but a critical part of COC history.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Seeking air mines should be considered a major defense they are op and can ruin entire air attacks

Th 16 rush in 2 months: 🦅👑🇹🇷🇰🇵🇷🇺 Th 15 max to th 16 in 4 years: 😡👎💩🇺🇸💩

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

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.

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.

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”

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

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.

Home Village when rushed: Builder Base when rushed:

I personally like rushed based because I can easily 3 star them for easy 700k+ loot.

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 ☠️

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.

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

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 KZheadrs 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.

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!

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’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.

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.

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.

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 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 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

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.

As a rushed person it’s cool seeing your base over time become better and better and seeing it level up is pretty cool

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

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

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😂❤

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.

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.)

"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.

I've rushed until the CV 9, when i realized how ugly and low level my base and troops were. Now i am lvl 11 and things are pretty balanced.

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

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😂

I love rushed bases Not because i have one but because they're a piece of cake in clan wars

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.

Those engineered bases was crazy MAX TH11 Offense with just a lvl 1 cannon for defense, registered as a th1 for wars basically

If you rush, you end up like me.

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

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.

Rushing is good for raids weekends. Since raids don’t require you to have anything except being in a clan, so you can do more attacks

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

now with all the pets and Hero abilities it makes sense to rush because you can upgrade them way faster

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.

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

i started playing the release of town hall 14, rushed straight to th 14, now i'm almost a maxed town hall 15... working on 16 now

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 built my base normally until TH10, then after losing several wars in a row, rushed to TH12 so I could build siege machines for my clan.

Rushing is only viable when you ignore upgrading defenses.

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

Ever since they capped the troop lvls u can donate it gave another reason to rush cuz then u could be sent maxed troops

I played when coc was new then didnt touch it til last March. About maxed out TH11 and now getting kinda bored so going up to TH16

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

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

As a TH16, I would say you should rush until you get sneaky goblin, since it's really game changing

I am not happy that i rushed

Higher offense is the point, you can attack higher meaning you are more likely to get a perfect war

Can we just go back to when people would rush for an inferno tower and uninstall a week later.

Rushing is a sin of the same level as the Engineer bases back in the days

I have a half rushed base with walls always maxed and some main defenses and all offensive power but collectors are no job and storages are must

Been suck on TH11 for a while now (don’t play as much) but everything except a couple hero levs and walls are needed to be fully max. So if I were to rush it would be when it’s just walls cos they take forever

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 somewhat rushed for passive miners max lvl. Now I'm maxing out everything

I now have 6 accounts and I max 5 and rush 1 because I do wanna know what it’s like at the top THs as I’m just finishing up 13 on my main but want to be at 15 and 16 to learn the attacks and the bases a little at those high ones so when i do reach 16 or more realistically 18 maybe 19 I can trophie push very quickly as it’s my favorite thing to do I go to legend all the time with my 13

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.

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.

guys rushing is better dont let them tell you otherwise

Can you do legend league trophy pushing videos

I’m maxed th13 but each time I max out a th a new one comes out and at this point I’ll never reach max level by continuing to max. I’ve been playing since 2014 and this is my first time I ever decided to rush. Honestly I think it’s about time

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.

I don’t rush in the main th but you know my ass is rushing my builder base so I can get the sixth builder. Up until recently I didn’t know the 6th builder existed so I was maxing the builder base but when I heard about it I went from bh7-bh9 in a week

Dropping the content I need when I need it!

I was maxing my base out normally when i left the game. However, when i came back to the game after a yr or so of not playing, i still tried to max out my TH13 base like normal but i later changed my mind to strategic rushing instead when i began to c that a lot of the bases we were facing in master league cwl were all strategically rushed TH15s n it got annoying not being able to at least have the power to 3 star them while i was constantly getting 3 starred at TH13; so i ended up just maxing my main army, heroes, n high dmg defenses, then rushed to TH14, did the same thing, n now i'm at TH15 by strategically rushing. However, i now had to pause on the strategic rush bc of the TH16's merged weapons; i still left the cannons n archer towers at TH12 level 😂

I know this isn't related to rushing, but I hate it when people put walls randomly just to meet the criteria for the next townhall

I only rush when I have full loot and no builders when my base is min 80% max

I like rushing things because i have do much resources where do i use them of course town hall, i send dark elixir to upgrade dark elixir troops instead of hero i don't even want to upgrade normal troops they're still low level, TH13 and my hero just lvl30

Hello ! , Welcome My Friend ! , How Are You? Going Good ? :))

Love how you cover coc

with the recent changes in the game the new meta is already undeniable, strategic rushing is the way to go

In the early days of clash rushing was beneficial for trophy pushing

If you rush but take the time to upgrade core defenses, troops, spells and heroes as well then it should be fine

Hi brother nice video

Me Who Has three accs. A nearly maxed out th13, a rushed th10 (still on the way) and another nearly maxed th10 out of boredom

This reminds me of some years ago when 2 clan mates had 2 alts called "Superman" and "Batman". These 2 accounts were so unfair when it came to clan wars because back then the way the matchmaking worked was using the total "weight" of your village, which mainly came from defenses. They only had a lvl 2 cannon lol.... Fair to say wars werent fair at all, their mirrors would be a TH7 when they had effectively the offensive power of a TH12

Man you can rush till you reach th11 and then max th11 with sneaky goblin farming army if you want to skip 10 town halls

Nice vid

I think rushing exists because of the soul draining amount of the time a building needs like above 2 days of building time straight up kills the whole mood of it personally I currently rushed from th 9 to th 12 in three days it feels a bit more fun then maxing it all out slowly

All my alt TH16 x14 accounts are rushed so I can take into CWL (master 3 15v15) and get CWL Medals to upgrade the hero's and main defences. My main TH16 account is not rushed. Will be interesting to see how I do in Jan CWL as Root Riders destroys rushed bases and users will be storing Hero Potions.

Youre right

i really hate chicken chompers

idk what you mean by rushing not being a thing back then. It was a thing and it was not out of the ordinary for clans to specifically state the requirements (like hero lvl requirement, wall level, defence level, etc).

Supercell might allow players to merge Motars in future Town Hall Levels.
