Supercell introduced the Value Packs in October 2016 and they always offer some nice additions for the same price if you compare them with the regular Gem purchase options. They appear quite frequently and I know many of you think they are completely random – in fact, there is more behind it and I’ve been analyzing them in the past month to show you how they appear. The thing is you can actually plan with them and save a ton of gems when you know when they appear in the shop.
Even if you’re not spending money for gems, this article will be interesting for you.

Value Packs in CoC

Value Packs are offering a very high value compared to regular gem purchase in Clash of Clans. They always offer the same amount of gems compared to the regular purchase options, but you will always get something in addition – a special building or extra resources.

This extra value makes the Value Pack 3 to 6 times as valuable.
If you got a gift card, don’t spend it immediately! Wait for the right Value Pack!
 Now let’s have a look at all the different Value Packs, I’m sure you haven’t seen them all so far.

Weekly Value Pack

This is the most common Value Pack and it appears every week for all player – it offers 80 Gems plus 1 million in Elixir & Gold each.

This Value Pack works best when you need some resources fast for completion, but make sure to spend the extra resources! You can get raided and lose some of it each time and the 80 Gems also don’t offer that much value (80/0.99$ compared to 500/4.99$ compared to 1200/9.99$). If you buy it ten times, you have 400 Gems less compared to buying the bigger package.

Town Hall Value Pack

As soon as you finish a Town Hall upgrade, you will get offered a Town Hall Value Pack. They offer one of the greatest values in the game and you shouldn’t miss it if you can.

Here’s an overview on all Town Hall value Packs:

Town Hall 4: Air Defense level 2, 100K Gold, 500 Gems ($4.99)
Town Hall 5: Wizard Tower Level 2, 500K Gold, 500 Gems ($4.99)
Town Hall 6: Air Sweeper Level 2, 1.5M Gold, 500 Gems ($4.99)
Town Hall 7: Barbarian King, Hidden Tesla Level 3, 1200 Gems ($9.99)
Town Hall 8: Bomb Tower Level 2, 4M Gold, 1200 Gems ($9.99)
Town Hall 9: Archer Queen, X-Bow Level 2, 2500 Gems ($19.99)
Town Hall 10: Inferno Tower Level 2, 6M Gold, 2500 Gems ($19.99)
Town Hall 11: Grand Warden, Eagle Artillery Level 1, 2500 Gems ($19.99)

Note: Some of you did get offered alternative packs back in October, but that was because you already placed the buildings/Heroes. Now they won’t present alternative packs.
Town Hall Value Packs stay as long as you are at that Town Hall Level!
 If you have a gift card you want to spend, wait for these offers to appear as they offer by far the best value and you don’t even need a free Builder and the buildings or Heroes will appear without waiting time!

There’s also no storage limit for them – you can also get them if your storages are completely full:
Value Packs Without War Weight

If you’re having a .5 base and don’t want to get the extra war weight but like to get the new building, there’s good news.

You can purchase the Value Pack and simply don’t place the building – this won’t add war weight to your base – but you’ll have to take the icon of the building that appears all the time when you see your base until you place it.
We all don’t want to stay at a certain level, so this is kind of an investment in the future.

ATTENTION! This has been posted by several users that compared their war weight before and after. It could be that Supercell is changing it in the future, so if you don’t plan to go to the next Town Hall Level you shouldn’t use the Value Pack – it will be available until you upgrade your Town Hall anyway.

Builder Value Pack


There’s also a Builder Value Pack that will offer you your 5th Builder.
This one will only appear:

You don’t have 5 Builders
You did purchase your Town Hall Value Pack (otherwise the Town Hall Value pack will show up all the time) or you’re below Town Hall 4 (there are no Town Hall Value Packs)

Special Value Packs

These Value Packs are very different as they occur either when a new update is released or a special occasion is happening.

Sometimes it’s a clan donation Value pack, where your clan members will get extra gems if you purchase (like Christmas).
Sometimes it’s a great value for an event like Back Friday or Winter Holiday.
You can never know what’s coming and when they’re coming, but I think after 1 year we can predict them quite good.
Never gem something new directly after an update – you will very likely see a Value Pack... 

 Planning With Value Packs

I think it helped already a lot to have seen all the different Value packs that Clash of Clans offers.

Here’s the wrapped-up tactic for you when you plan to buy something in Clash of Clans:
Don’t gem something before an update! There will be a Value Pack for it 
 You will get a Value Pack with every Town Hall upgrade – this Value Pack will be available... 
 Don’t waste your money on the weekly Value Pack
 The Weekly Value Pack for $0.99 offers a very bad return value – rather spend for one 1200 Gems pack than spending 10 times for that – it offers only 60% of the 9.99 Sack of Gems.

Have you ever thought about or actually bought a Shield in Clash of Clans? Very rarely do I ever hear of anyone doing this. In this post I want to take a look if it is worth buying Shields (or Village Guard) and when it might be useful.

Buying Shields & Village Guard in Clash of Clans

Your Shield is a great protection and it will prevent anybody from being able to attack your Village.


When we search for a Village and attack it, we have to give up a part of our Shield.


Each attack during a Shield results in a 1 hour increase to the attack cost (thanks @Gabriel for pointing that out):

  • 1st attack: 3 hours
  • 2nd attack: 4 hours
  • 3rd attack: 5 hours
  • 4th attack: 6 hours
  • 5th attack: 10 hours
  • 6th attack: 16 hours
  • 7th attack: 20 hours
  • 8th attack: 1 day
  • 9th attack: 2 days
  • etc…
Important! If you add multiple Shields, the time will stack. The attack counter only gets reset if you’ve been without a Shield for at least 1 second (also without Village Guard).
This means you can only attack a limited number of times before your Shield runs out and your Village is put back in the matchmaking system for greedy attackers to find.

Before that happens, depending on the current League, you will get a Village Guard that still protects your Village and lets you attack without attack cost.


But we could buy Shields in the shop and they had different durations:

  • 1 Day Shield (Cost 100 Gems and Cooldown of 5 days)
  • 2 Day Shield (Cost 150 Gems and Cooldown of 10 days)
  • 1 Week Shield (Cost 250 Gems and Cooldown of 35 days)
  • 2 Hours Village Guard (Cost 10 Gems and cooldown 23 hours)

Let’s see if they are worth the price.

The Shield Test

The hard part for me is how to determine if they are really worth the gems. It would be pretty useless to just calculate the amount of theoretical attacks a player can do within the Shield time.

First of all, I checked the specific cost per hour of protection – in other words, how many Gems do I need to pay for each hour I won’t get attacked:

  • 1 Day Shield: 4.2 Gems/hour
  • 2 Day Shield: 3.1 Gems/hour
  • 1 Week Shield: 1.49 Gems / hour
  • 2 Hours Village Guard: 5 Gems / hour

However, these rough numbers don’t give a clear representation of the situation. The Village Guard seems to be the most expensive, but I can attack and unlimited number of times.

This is why I think there are several use cases for the Shields.

1 Day Shield

The 1 Day Shield is nice when you are offline and have full storages. You know you won’t attack and won’t be able to collect anything. However, the price of 100 Gems is far to high!

You can get raided 2 times within the same 24 hours and might lose up to a million resources.

For 30 Gems you can boost your Barracks and just get these lost resources back within 2-3 attacks – that will cost you 15 minutes.

My advice: Stay away from the 1 Day Shield, it’s too expensive!

2 Day Shield

This one is quite similar. The costs are not as high, but with 3-4 lost defenses you don’t lose so much that you can’t make it all back in a boosted Barracks session within half an hour.

It might be useful when you push Trophies at the very top (far above 5000) to have some air to breathe, but I think less than 10 visitors here are doing this.

My advice: Stay away from the 2 Day Shield as well!

1 Week Shield

This Shield is interesting. 1 week, that’s 168 hours. Now, the funny thing is that your Village will get removed from matchmaking after 57 hours of inactivity (you can find the facts about abandoned bases here).

So, if you know you won’t be able to play, I advise to simply not go online in Clash of Clans and your Village will be safe after 57 hours.

What I find a good idea is getting it for 250 Gems and then still doing your raids.

You can raid 9 times and still have 3 days of active protection. It’s nice if you farm from time to time, but not in a very frequent way.

The current Shield system forces us to do frequent attacks to keep up with the losses from being raided.

If you know you just have a little time in the next days and still want to raid, the 1 week Shield is something you might consider.

However, this is just something I recommend to people who won’t be able to play an hour straight on boosted Barracks, because with 250 Gems you can be boosted and attack for several hours and yield much more than you did with the 250 gems for the Shield.

My advice: If you are a very infrequent player you might want to do this – otherwise boost some sessions for better use of the gems!

2 Hour Village Guard

This little guy is pretty cheap with 10 Gems and sometimes worth it.

I buy it from time to time when I’m hanging around in the evening doing some stuff and I want to get a certain amount of loot together to get a specific upgrade. I just attack whenever my army is ready (unboosted).

It’s worth it in this situation for me, because:
  1. I can do plenty of attacks.
  2. I don’t have to be online while my army is training and can do other stuff in between (push notifications activated to tell me when my army is ready again).
  3. It’s cheaper than boosting.

Of course, you can add it to a boosted session, but only if you don’t plan to stay online during the whole session.

My advice: Use it when you have the time to play, but don’t want to be online all the time.

Conclusion

Well, in most situations buying Shields is a waste of Gems, at least the 1 and 2 day Shields. They are way to expensive and the protection they offer is not worth the Gems.

The week long Shield however, can be useful when you know you’re not able to play frequently, but you want to do some attacks in between.

The Village Guard is worth it. Costing only 10 Gems it’s very cheap and it protects you when you want to play, but don’t want to be online the entire time.

There are two events in Clash of Clans that happen every year – the Christmas Event in December and the Halloween Event in October.

These events have a unique obstacle that will reward some extra loot when you remove them. The Christmas Event has a Christmas Tree that costs 25K Gold to remove, but rewards 75K Gold in return and the Halloween Event has a special spooky obstacle that will reward 50K Elixir upon removal.

How to keep the Halloween or Christmas Obstacles forever

Many players, however, want to keep them in the Village, because they won’t disappear when the event ends.

These are unique obstacles you can have in your Village because you can only receive them by being active during that period in that year. There is no chance that somebody today could get the Christmas Tree from the Christmas Event 2014 or 2015.


So keeping them, that’s nice. The hard thing is, to have them in a place where it won’t interrupt future base designs.

A lot of players start to build a ring of obstacles around their base (including myself), so having the special Halloween or Christmas obstacles there would be perfect. The hard part is that they will only spawn for a few days and you need to be lucky enough to have it appear in that very spot, because you can’t move them around.


The outside ring is perfect for these seasonal obstacles because you are not able to build anything in this 3 tile-wide area – a perfect spot to be sure the seasonal obstacle can stay there forever.

How Obstacle Spawning Works

An obstacle can spawn in a place where no building is placed and always leaves one tile space between any building or piece of wall.
This only applies to regular obstacles, the seasonal obstacles can spawn right next to any other item, like a Wall or a building!

To fit your seasonal obstacles on the outside ring, you have to invest something and I personally don’t rely on luck exclusively.

I have a special Village arrangement that will get me my seasonal obstacle in the first 24 hours in the outside ring.


I know this setup is not good for protection, but sometimes I don’t get a single attack until I have my seasonal obstacle on the outside ring and I can then switch back to my regular Village.

But don’t forget, there is 3 tile space on the outside, so it could also happen that the obstacle spawns 1 tile too close:


 Just make sure there are only spaces smaller than 2×2 tiles..

 I know that this will make it very easy to attack your Village, but keep in mind:

Seasonal obstacles only spawn once in a lifetime in Clash of Clans.
Seasonal obstacles have a higher spawn rate compared to regular obstacles, so it’s possible that it spawns after a short period.


If you have any tips and tricks about this topic, don’t hesitate to leave a comment! Good luck :)
