Trap Guide
The ultimate guide to the new trap system
Upgrades facts:
✔ All explosive traps will have upgrade levels.
✔ Upgrading is available as soon as a new trap is bought from the shop.
✔ Traps are upgraded using Builders.
✔ Upgrade times and costs are relatively short if compared to building upgrades.
✔ Different trap types have different upgrades: Damage, radius…
✔ Traps cannot be sold anymore.

✔ Attacker can deploy troops on top of traps also when traps are under upgrade.
Using new traps:

✔ After a trap has been triggered, it needs to be re-armed.
✔ You don’t need an available Builder to re-arm the traps.
✔ Upgrade levels don’t disappear when traps are triggered.
✔ Re-arming traps cost gold. Re-arm cost increases when the trap is upgraded.
✔ You can re-arm all traps with one button OR re-arm traps one-by-one.
Plan your trap upgrades
Are ground traps more important for you than air traps? Is there a specific trap that works well against your attackers’ favorite troops? Check your Battle Log: which troop/troops have been steamrolling your village?
Each upgrade takes time and re-arm cost increases when the trap is upgraded. Is it better to have one trap (for example a Bomb) at maximum level and other Bombs at level 1? Or upgrade all Bombs to mid-level and continue with air trap upgrades?
