Is the NEW Apprentice Builder Worth Your Gems? - Sneak Peek 1

Keep in mind that i’ve seen the calculation others have done and i get where the value is. Personally tho i’m not a huge fan of the implementation of this new builder but i see the concept was definitely on the right track. hopefully we’ll see some changes well after the update drops

Works 1 hour and takes 23 off. The Gen Z builder does not seem to be worthwhile. (Bring on the hate.)

The emo builder , costs a lot to maintain ,has low value and still lives in moms basement 🤣🤣

I rather buy 7th builder with value of 6.5k than the apprentice if it was available.

Here is a list of how long it takes to get a return on your investment with each level: Payback times compared to builder potions: Level 1 (TH10): 94.74 days, 500 cost Level 2 (TH10): 94.74 days, 1000 cost Level 3 (TH11): 110.53 days, 1750 cost Level 4 (TH11): 118.42 days, 2500 cost Level 5 (TH12): 132.63 days, 3500 cost Level 6: (TH12): 142.11 days, 4500 cost Level 7 (TH13): 148.87 days, 5500 cost Level 8 (TH14): 153.95 days, 6500 cost formula is (Apprentice Gem Cost/Hours Saved per day)/(Alternative Gem Cost/Hours Saved) I used builder potions which makes the second bracket 285/54. Goblin builder is much cheaper at 5/3 or 285/171 which is 3.16x better, but goblin builder gives a building downtime, isn’t always available, and is worse value than the goblin researcher (unless you don’t need the researcher), but if you wanted to use goblin builder’s cost in the formula then it would be: Payback times compared to goblin builder: 1: 300 days 2: 300 days 3: 350 days 4: 375 days 5: 420 days 6: 450 days 7: 471(3/7) days 8: 487.5 days Goblin builder is much more efficient than builder potions in exchange for more buildings being down, but he is not always up, and spending 6500 gems in goblin builder would be pretty hard because that takes 162.5 days of constant upgrades, which is longer than he is available for. Obviously you are unlikely to spend all of your gems on builder potions or the goblin builder anyway, but it is impossible to compare cosmetic, ore, wall ring, etc value to builder time. Also note that books of building are less cost efficient than the goblin builder unless a 23 1/2 day long upgrade gets added, so I haven’t used them in the lists, but you can do it if you put it into the formula (if the book will save 14 days, that will be 336 hours, so (925/336) is your formula) hopefully this covers everything you will need about this new builder

TL:DR, you need to use the apprentice builder 154 times to break even, gem-wise. So, quick math calculation: - upgrading to max lvl costs 6500 gems, which is ~22.8 builder potions - assuming 6 builders, a builder potion saves you 54 hours - Each use of the apprentice builder saves you 8 hours - We have 54*22.8 / 8 = 153.94 - Roughly 154 uses of the apprentice builder to match the value of buying 22.8 builder potions instead

I am mostly free to play and i’m immediately going to dump all of my gems in the apprentice builder. I am th14 and really the only things I spend gems on are hero books, small remaining upgrade times and sometimes the goblin builder but these aren’t really great investments. It’s also so easy to get gems at the moment in clash, people think 1000 gems is a lot but i can get that in less than 2 month, once you’ve unlocked the 6th builder just always sell all your builderbase items like runes, starbonus potions and clocktower potions. Make sure to upgrade your gem mine and use the clock tower boost every day, clear all the bushes. If you are a somewhat consistent disciplined clash player you will get the the value of your gems back.

Anything free is good value anyways i donot feel any value spending my gems on other things too so i will just spend them on this guy

As a veteran f2p (10+years exp) , this Is a BIG NO!!!.. gems is very expensive, you can hardly get 5k-6k gems in a years considering you play all events. 😂😂😂

No than you, i would rather pay 285 gems get 60 hours worth work from 6 builders.

With 6 builders working 24hrs, 144hrs of upgrade timers is reduced. With the aprentice builder its 152. Only a 5.5% increase for 6500 gems

After calculation if we use max apprentice builder compare to builder position it took 171 days to beat the builder potion, so it's worth it

the scout base tactial overview will be game changing

5:14 New Dark Troop?😅

Please tell that for which time we should hammers now ... as we use them before for 12d and above

they should have a challenge that allows you to unlock it like the new hero equipment

New troop is druid which has dual role….and he can heal too

Maybe if they made it 10x like the potion it would be better but even then it still seems like too many gems. Think it’s to incentivise that immediate 50 purchase since that’s a specific option in the shop for the exact amount you need

I think they should buff the amoutn of efficiancy of which he works at cause even at the highest level he still cant compare to the builder potions

Appreciate the content bro. Improved my attacks with your strategies
