Should I Spend My Gems on Epic Equipment or Helpers After Returning?

-

Hey everyone, I’m a Town Hall 13 player who just got back into the game after almost two years. I’ve got about 11,000 gems, and I’m torn between using them for epic equipment like the Electric Boots, Magic Mirror, and Spiky Ball, or if I should upgrade my builder and lab helpers instead. I’m worried that if I spend my gems now, the equipment might come back in an event soon after. Should I go for 3 pieces of epic equipment or wait for them to pop up in future events?

Honestly, don’t spend any gems just yet. Wait to see what you can snag from the upcoming event chests because I’ve heard people hitting it big lately. If luck isn’t on your side, then go for the equipment that fits your attack style once you get a handle on your needs.

I’d recommend getting 2-3 pieces of epic gear that fit your playstyle, like the Spiky Ball or Electric Boots, and then save some gems for later. Since you’re a returning player, upgrading your helpers is super important, especially with the 50% time reduction you can capitalize on right now!

NinjaStar69 -

Yeah, and the extra resources from the helpers can really speed up your progress. Definitely a good move!

Helpers are the way to go! You can usually pick up equipment during events, so start saving your ores and keep an eye out for what you can get from the trader shop. If your clan’s involved in wars regularly, that definitely helps too!

TimeSaverPro -

From my experience after switching from TH11 to TH12, I’d suggest spending your gems on helpers first. They save you so much time! You can usually make do with the common equipment for now while you build up your strategy.

MetaMaster68 -

Get those meta equipment pieces! Grab the Magic Mirror, Spiky Ball, and Electro Boots for sure. Just look up some YouTube tutorials to see what’s best for your style and plan accordingly!

MetaCriticX -

That totally makes sense, but remember, what’s meta for one player might not work for another!

EventChaser82 -

If you can put off buying equipment, do it! Typically, older equipment comes back every other month during events. Boosting your helpers first is a solid plan. You’ll be glad you did!

F2PWarrior54 -

As a free-to-play player, consider holding onto your gems for the events since epic equipment becomes available regularly. You can choose to either wait it out or grab essentials with your gems in the meantime.

PowerPlayerX12 -

If you’re planning to spend money on the event pass, maybe grab the helpers first. But if you want to level up quickly, I’d suggest snagging the Electric Boots—they’re a vital tool in many strategies.

LootGobbler99 -

Totally agree, the Electric Boots are a staple. Definitely worth the investment!

CandyCrushKing -

Just go for the epic gear now! If you’re serious about your strategy, the Electric Boots can really make a difference. But keep in mind, you could get lucky in the events and find what you need there too.
