Unlocking the 6th builder, known as B.O.B (Builder of Builders), is a significant milestone in Clash of Clans. This additional builder can dramatically accelerate your village development, allowing you to tackle multiple high-level upgrades simultaneously and gain a substantial advantage over other players. The process to unlock B.O.B has evolved with the introduction of Builder Base 2.0, bringing new challenges and strategies.
This guide will walk you through each step, providing in-depth information to help you efficiently navigate the path to obtaining your 6th builder.
Upgrade Your Builder Base to Unlock B.o.B Control
The journey begins with your first and most crucial task to upgrade your Builder Hall to level 9. This upgrade is a significant investment of time and resources, requiring careful planning and strategic resource management. Once you reach Builder Hall 9, you'll unlock the ability to construct the B.O.B Control, a pivotal structure in your quest for the 6th builder.
The B.O.B Control costs 100,000 Gold and serves as the centerpiece for your builder acquisition tasks. Initially, it functions as a defensive structure, but its true value lies in the tasks it unlocks. Each completed task brings you one step closer to acquiring B.O.B.
Upgrade Town Hall to Level 10
A key requirement in the process is upgrading your Town Hall to level 10. This step is necessary to complete some of the gear-up tasks required for B.O.B. Reaching Town Hall 10 is a significant milestone in itself, opening up new troops, defenses, and strategies. It's a good idea to work on this upgrade concurrently with your Builder Base developments, as it can take considerable time and resources.
Gear Up Home Village Defenses
One of the main tasks involves upgrading specific defenses in both villages, creating a strategic link between your two bases. You'll need to gear up three buildings in your Home Village:
- Cannon must be upgraded to at least level 7 in the Home Village, and you'll need a level 4 Double Cannon in the Builder Base. The gear-up costs 1.5 million gold.
- Archer Tower needs to be at least level 10 in the Home Village, with a corresponding level 6 Archer Tower in the Builder Base. This upgrade requires 4 million gold.
- Mortar should be at least level 8 in the Home Village, paired with a level 8 Multi-Mortar in the Builder Base. This is the most expensive gear-up, costing 8 million gold.
These gear-ups not only contribute to unlocking B.O.B but also enhance your overall defensive capabilities in both villages. They introduce unique defensive mechanics from the Builder Base to your Home Village, adding depth to your defensive strategy.
Upgrade Troops to level 18
The next challenge is to focus on upgrading any troop to level 18 in your Builder Base. This task requires a well-developed Star Laboratory, which needs to be at level 9. Popular choices for this upgrade include Baby Dragons or Power P.E.K.K.A units, each with its own advantages.
Baby Dragons are available earlier (unlocked at Builder Hall level 4 and Builder Barracks level 6) but require more resources to reach level 18. On the other hand, Power P.E.K.K.A units start at a higher level (unlocked at level 13 with Builder Barracks level 10 and Builder Hall level 8), making the upgrade process quicker but requiring higher-level structures. This step not only contributes to unlocking B.O.B but also significantly boosts your offensive capabilities in Builder Base battles.
Enhance Builder Base Defenses
As part of the requirements, you must upgrade one Builder Base defense to level 9. A strategic choice is the Multi-Mortar, as you've already upgraded it for the gear-up task in your Home Village. This dual-purpose upgrade efficiently contributes to both unlocking B.O.B and significantly boosting your Builder Base defenses.
The Multi-Mortar at level 9 becomes a formidable defense, capable of dealing splash damage to multiple targets and deterring mass troop attacks. This upgrade also demonstrates the importance of long-term planning in your Builder Base development strategy.
Level up Builder Base Heroes
Perhaps the most time-consuming and resource-intensive task is leveling up your Builder Base heroes. You need to achieve a combined level of 45 between your Battle Machine and Battle Copter. This requirement offers some flexibility in how you approach it.
A balanced approach is recommended, such as upgrading the Battle Machine to level 23 and the Battle Copter to level 22. However, you can adjust this based on your preferred battle strategy or current hero levels.
The Battle Machine is available earlier and provides ground support, while the Battle Copter, unlocked at Builder Hall level 9, offers unique air support capabilities. This step requires patience, strategic resource management, and consistent participation in Builder Base battles to gather the necessary resources. It's advisable not to level either hero past 25 for this task to maintain efficiency.
Upgrade your B.O.B Control
Once you've completed all tasks, the final step is to upgrade your B.O.B Control in the Builder Base. This action will unlock B.O.B's Hut in your Home Village.
You can choose to turn in your completed requirements one by one or all at once at the end. When you fully upgrade the B.O.B Control, you'll receive an unplaced B.O.B's Hut in your Home Village inventory.
Simply place this hut in your village layout to officially gain access to your 6th builder. This moment marks a significant achievement in your Clash of Clans journey, dramatically increasing your building and upgrading capabilities.
Conclusion
By following these detailed steps, you'll unlock B.O.B as your 6th builder, significantly speeding up your village development and giving you a competitive edge in Clash of Clans. The process requires dedication, strategic planning, and efficient resource management across both your Home Village and Builder Base.
While the journey may be long, the reward of having an additional builder is substantial, marking you as a truly accomplished player and opening up new possibilities for rapid progression and strategic gameplay.
