Town Hall 10 (TH10)

At a glance

From a village that arrives at Town Hall 10 with Town Hall 9 maxed. “Maxed” means every regular level: Supercharge levels are not counted. Walls cost gold but no builder time. Builder days add up the build times of every building and hero, as if one builder did them one after another; the Town Hall upgrade itself and the research in the Laboratory and the Pet House are not part of them.

What to upgrade first at Town Hall 10

This is the order ClashClock's own planner starts things in for a village that has just arrived at Town Hall 10 with Town Hall 9 maxed (Max strategy, six builders). It is what the planner would do, not a claim about the meta. How it decides: how ClashClock works and planning your upgrades.

The first 10 steps of the plan, from Day 0 to Day 3.5, in the order the builders start them. “Day” is when the first copy begins. Where a step climbs several levels, the time is the sum of all of them, and the levels do not always follow one another straight away.

Beside the builders, the Laboratory starts Dragon to level 5 (3 d, from day 1.8), Lightning Spell to level 7 (3 d, from day 4.8) and Hog Rider to level 6 (2 d 6 h, from day 7.8). Dragon to level 5 needs the Laboratory at level 8 and the village arrives with level 7, so the first research starts when that upgrade is done. The research order is ClashClock's default preset, not a measured ranking.

If you rush instead

Strategic rush heads for Town Hall 11 and does only what the game demands first. It starts the Town Hall on day 0.5 and it stands on day 5.5. Max keeps the Town Hall until nothing else is left, so it starts it on day 63, 63 days later. The cost is deliberate: Rush weighs defences at 0.2 and traps at 0.1, against 1 and 0.7 in Max.

What Strategic rush starts first, from the same village:

When Town Hall 11 stands, 87% of the work at Town Hall 10 is still undone (211 of 242 builder, lab and Pet House days), most of it laboratory: 64 of 67 days.

• Laboratory64 of 67 d
• Defences59 of 64 d
• Heroes57 of 57 d
• Offence buildings17 of 39 d
• Collectors and storages8 of 8 d
• Traps8 of 8 d

The biggest single leftovers: Archer Queen (24 days), Barbarian King (24 days), 3× X-Bow (11 days) and 4× Air Defense (10 days).

What hurts at Town Hall 10

The single upgrades this hall opens: levels that need Town Hall 10, one building at a time.

The longest builder waits

1. Dark Barrackslevel 6 → 75 d
2. Dark Spell Factorylevel 4 → 55 d
3. Barrackslevel 11 → 124 d
4. Hero Halllevel 3 → 44 d
5. Army Camplevel 7 → 8 · ×43 d

On the builders, the longest single wait is Dark Barracks to level 7: 5 d for one. The next, Dark Spell Factory to level 5, takes 5 d. All 5 are army buildings.

The longest lab and Pet House waits

1. Dragonlevel 4 → 53 d
2. Healing Spelllevel 6 → 73 d
3. Lightning Spelllevel 6 → 73 d
4. Haste Spelllevel 3 → 43 d
5. Witchlevel 2 → 33 d

In the lab, the longest single wait is Dragon to level 5: 3 d for one. The next, Healing Spell to level 7, takes 3 d. Three of the five are spells.

The most expensive upgrades

X-Bow to level 4 is the most expensive step in gold: 2.5M each, on 3 buildings. All 5 are defences.

Freeze Spell to level 5 is the most expensive step in elixir: 4.2M.

Barbarian King to level 40 is the most expensive step in dark elixir: 55,000. All 5 are hero levels.

Walls take no builder time, so no ranking of build times shows them, but they are 58% of the gold at this hall: 149.8M of 258.7M.

How long will it really take?

The builders are done after about 31 days with 6 of them, but the Laboratory runs on its own and needs about 68 days. From 3 builders on the total hardly moves (68 days with 3, 68 days with 6), because the Laboratory sets the pace.

“Buildings and heroes done” is builder time only. “Everything done” also waits for the Laboratory and the Pet House, which run in their own lanes and can take longer than the builders; the small line under it names the worker that finishes last.

Days from the day you arrive at Town Hall 10 with Town Hall 9 maxed. The Laboratory alone needs 68 days; with the Gold Pass 54 days. The Gold Pass column takes 20% off every build and research time, with the game's own rounding. That is the most the pass gives: it starts at 10% and reaches 20% about two weeks into a season.

The table cannot know your income, how many hours a day you are away from the game, or what you already have built. It assumes every resource is there when a builder is free and that you are online all day, so a real village is slower. ClashClock does this sum for your own village, with your offline hours: the user guide shows how.
