Building Cards

For 3 Elixir, you get a building which has moderate hitpoints, damage, and one of the shortest lifetimes out of all the buildings. Doesn't seem like much, does it? Well, when you see how much this building has potential for such a low cost, you'll reconsider and use it nearly every time. After 2 Cycles, if its Evolution is active, the Cannon will merge with the Eagle Artillery; shooting 9 artilleries when spawned in. Half of the shots hit the other side, and all of the shots knock back, making it great for offense and defense.

It's quite hard to stop these explosive shells from hitting a tower and dealing quite a bit of damage thanks to its blind spot; any enemy troop that gets too close will be ignored. The ability to snipe towers, its moderate hitpoints, and the light cost of 4 Elixir make this building versatile, though its incredibly slow hit speed means it often needs additional support against any unit that isn't one shot by its attack. For 2 Cycles, if its Evolution is active, a new ammunition arrives: Goblins! When the Mortar fires a shot, a Goblin comes where it lands. I mean, the rent price is low for the cost of extra enemy stabbing.

Peek-a-boo! For 4 Elixir, it has moderate health and damage, pulling everything to itself, so that it can zap enemies, although it won't stun like most electric-based cards do. When nobody is near it, the Tesla hides underground, preventing any and all damage sources, except for an Earthquake. Freeze will also affect it, making it stuck on either the hidden or the revealed state. For 2 cycles, if its Evolution is active, the Tesla accumulates so much voltage, that it will begin to release all that it accumulated. When deployed, the Tesla will send a pulse of electricity to ground and air units, dealing low damage and stunning for 0.5 seconds, making it good for dealing with any kind of pushes. Every time it reveals itself after hiding, another pulse is released, until it is destroyed.

For 4 Elixir, you can drop a building containing a Goblin Brawler on the arena, pulling Hogs, Giants, and Golems alike. That cage won't hold for long though, as after a little while if it's not broken, the Goblin Brawler inside does the job himself! When released, he gets his revenge for being captured on every enemy in his sight, dishing out impressive damage while having moderate health! For 1 Cycle, if his Evolution is active, the Goblin Brawler will be so angry from getting imprisoned time after time, that he decides to release that anger on every troop. He gives them a massive beatdown by pulling ground units in the cage; dealing damage while making the troop untargetable. Power Punch!

Here come the Spear Goblins! For 4 Elixir, the building will take a nap when there is no action, but once a unit gets at least 6 tiles close to this tribal-looking building, a Spear Goblin will come out of it every 1.7 seconds! This can happen for as long as there is a troop in the Goblin Hut's activation range. And just when you think they'll stop coming, another Spear Goblin pops out upon the hut's death! They can be amazing on defense, while easily building up behind a tank to cause even more damage on a counterpush, but are still weak to splash damage. The Goblin Hut lasts 30 seconds, so make half a minute count!

A cheap spawner with moderate hitpoints at the cost of only 3 Elixir that spawns two Skeletons every 3.5 seconds. When destroyed, 4 more spooky scary Skeletons pop up to take down the destroyer. The spawned Skeletons and the death spawn ones can easily distract and take out single-target units, making this building very versatile.

Bombs away! This ground-only building throws bombs dealing moderate splash damage at a decent rate, making it perfect against swarms. Combined with its medium hitpoints, its cost of 4 Elixir, and a death bomb, this building is one of the most effective against ground units in the game. It attacks quite slowly for its damage though, so tankier units will only take a few scratches from the explosives.

Things get really hot with this building. For 5 Elixir, this incinerator will roast even massive tanks and powerful support units in an instant for a neutral, if not positive, Elixir trade. However, beware of swarms and the power of electrickery, as this building will be overwhelmed and paralyzed.

This crude but high-hitpoint barrack spawns a trio of Barbarians every 15 seconds, who deal quite a bit of damage when ignored. These Barbarians can be valuable as support, granting a significant Elixir advantage. Its death results in an additional Barbarian spawned for extra destruction. However, this hut is expensive, costing a whole 6 Elixir, and the Barbarians can be easily taken out if handled correctly.

Where do these Fire Spirits come from? This 4 Elixir magic oven has moderate health and the ability to spawn waves of a Fire Spirit every 5 seconds, efficiently countering swarms and chipping down other troops while putting the opponent under pressure offensively. As the icing on the cake, this destructive stove also cooks up one extra Fire Spirit when the whole stove melts. However, beware of spells and splash damage, as they will put out the ongoing fire! Also the Mini P.E.K.K.A.'s fan favorite, as it can fry pancakes for him.

You gotta spend Elixir to make Elixir! For 6 Elixir, this passive building has moderate health along with the ability to produce bonus Elixir, giving you a total of 8 Elixir while alive. This will make large pushes much easier to play, although this building comes with significant risk due to its vulnerability to spells and high cost. Elixir Collector will not appear in your starting cards.

This 6 Elixir automatic crossbow has moderate hitpoints, low damage, a long range and a very fast hit speed. It can quickly whittle down small swarms and moderate-health troops, cripple tanks, and destroy towers. However, it can be very easily distracted, and is easily destroyed by spells and heftier swarms.

These Goblins have abandoned locomotion with wooden barrels; now they've got a whole machine! For 4 Elixir, this drill can pop up anywhere in the arena and start releasing Goblins. Upon destruction, it spawns 2 more! At the end of the day, a bunch of Goblins are still Goblins, so area damage units or spells will do well to quell them. But be mindful of when the opponent can send it in, or your Crown Tower might be stolen too! For 2 Cycles, if its Evolution is active, the Goblins will go under ground two times that when not next to the Crown Tower, will appear at the same spot; being capable of spawning a few more Goblins. However, when they're next to the Crown Tower, the Goblins will have a plan, moving around the Crown Tower once damaged, confusing even its counters!
