Right! And most troop upgrades aren’t necessary. As in, you don’t use the troop. It’s just something to do. I use hammers on my favorite troops, or a potion if I need it. Not worth 8500 $85 for that guy.
The niche thing about the lab assistant that nobody seems to be talking about is the fact that if your army is composed of barely 5 troops and 4 spells per townhall, there is basically not much merit to be maxing him out UNLESS you are actively trying to max out your lab and your overall account to the max level. In other words, getting him past the first free level isn't worth it for casual players whose end goal is not to max out actively and is probably better to get some of the missed equipment instead.
Agreed....even tho i have all the equipments, still i might not consider upgrading assitant for the reason u said, on avg we might be using a few troops which would be our main troop comp.....so we can just max them in a few days or months (can even use a few hammers) after that there's really not much rush to upgrade the other less used troops
Apprentice builder is way better. It can save you almost 3 days on upgrading your hero. Better save your gems on 2025 Hammer Jam to buy builder potion, pet potion, lab potion, and goblins to maximize Hammer Jam.

Unlike the builder apprentice, the lab assistant isn't necessary. The builder assistant matters cos you, the player, will need to upgrade the entire village. There isn't such a desire with the lab. At max, you'll most likely level up 15 troops and spells per townhall level. You won't do more than that. If the builder assist. was a luxury, the lab assist is even more so 🤷🏽♂️

On the days saved 5:44, you should take into account the 5 builders, by example book of hero doesn’t save you 8 days per 500 gems but merely 1.6 total builder time. Same with book of building and fighting, building saves you 8.65/5 = 1.73 days skipped, where as you can only do 1 lab upgrade at a time so your actually saving 8.65 days
I am already at level 7 apprentice builder and I have dumped every single achievement gem into it ever since it was released. I don't have that many Achievements remaining to bump up this as well. Fingers crossed we get more Achievements with TH 17 update. 9:02 lol you should have said this 3 months ago.
I think the BA is more important than the LA as every week we can get 3 lab potions with clan capital medals which basically skips 3 days of upgrade time but we can not get builder potions at that rate to skip build time
If you are rusher and not maxing you're lab,LA not worth it,but if you are maxing everything it totally worth it, because lab take so much time than the building upgrade
Just came on to this channel, I'd like to give some feedback if that's ok. I love the information, but the editing around it makes it annoying when displaying information such as 1:35. Would prefer to remove the bouncy and wiggle animations so I can read the chart as you're explaining it. I understand you might do that to keep the video fun, but it detracts from the informative aspect of the video. Just my two cents. Thanks.
New pet trainer! Invest up to 15,750 gems to this new assistant, and he will take off up to 24 hours of work in one hour for pet upgrades! Note: He has a chance to accidentally euthanize your pet... leading you to have to get a new one starting from level one! 😂
9:30 "You can actually queue upgrades for the builder's apprentice and the lab assistant now." That's a fantastic upgrade. The cooldown is 23 hours (which is why there's the fractional benefit), but many people likely just use it once a day. For myself, I can use it right when I wake up but unless I'm either waking up gradually earlier until I can stay up late enough to use it or waking up in the middle of the night, there's no reasonable way to get the maximum benefit out of it. Being able to queue the upgrades allows it to be used immediately when available.
This is what I figured out: Lab assistant will not directly reduce the time to half. For example, let's say an upgrade cost 4 days and you have max lab assistant. After Day 1: 4 - 1.5 = 2.5 days remaining After Day 2: 2.5 - 1.5 = 1 day remaining On day 3: 1 - 0.5 = 0.5 day remaining (not considering 23 hours cooldown, for simplicity assuming 24h cooldown) So, in total you can complete a 4-day upgrade in 2.5 days. increase = 4 - 2.5 / 4 = 37.5%
in practice there is always gonna be a bit of time you waste for example with not logging on whent the LA is available for about an hour or upgardes finishing erlier yes but in a prefect example he would skip exactly half of a day every day effectively halving the upgrade time
It really not worth unless you are a sweaty gamer The math is undeniable, but it's not everything. Another important aspect is how you play the games. Are you goin to play everyday for the next 3 years? Do you already have all the hero epic equipment? The presence of gems alone increase the quality of life while playing the games. I have lot of occasion which playing these games won't fit your schedule, gems allow you to tweak that Troop aren't ready war but you bout to get busy? Gems Upgrade bout to finish in 10 minutes but you won't be able to log in for another upgrade? Gems This is another important aspect to max efficiency imo
Aside from prohibitive gem cost, that can be saved bit by bit, the biggest problem is that hist level cap is tied to Town Hall, if you don't rush, but instead upgrade him in batches every few months, this makes the time for him to break even significantly longer, if not upgraded in bulk the break even point shifts to the highiest one you just upgraded to. Rushers, as usual, we are are the chosen ones to be efficient.
I don't get it how is it broken this lab assistant give only 12x speed for 1hr and how much it cost to 8000 gems how is this even fair. Meanwhile we can buy 3 research portion from shop with medel every week . Cheaper than lab assistant. 1 research portion gives 24x for 1hr
I honestly don't think it is proper to compare the lab assistant to the builder potion and book of builder. It would be much better to compare it with book of spells, book of fighting and research potion as lab assistant solely focused on troops and machines upgrade time rather than buildings. Hope you could make a new comparison with these basis.
Watching this video start to finish acting like I'm not a maxed out endgame player who has already maxed the builder apprentice and will definitely max the lab apprentice. Maybe I'm just watching to cope and convince myself it's value.
Same here bro maxed out Builder's Apprentice the day it came out with 6500 pack of gems now I am planning to get the same pack and get the lab assistant to level 10 and grind 2k gems manually to max him to level 12 😢
BRO NEVER PROCASTINATES!!!. As soon i saw the lab assistant, I knew BD was gonna make a comprehensive video about it. But it is a lotta work equations and charts and everything, Damn bro respect. If it was me I wud have put it off to the end of my priorities
True with regards to maxing out everything, but that’s not what most players are looking for. We usually just use a few troops and upgrade those first. So for me the lab assistant is useless. The builder apprentice’s use doesn’t come from the amount of time he saves but from allowing us to adjust upgrade times to rather have them finish before we sleep or make sure we don’t have 2+ days with no builders available, making it much less important to plan upgrade times perfectly
You don't need all your troops,spells and siege machines maxed. Even for donating better levels to other people, from my experience, all it takes is a lot of research potions for raid medals to speed it up, and you're good.
Thank you for the analytical videos as always. But I think when calculating the required days to catch up, you shouldn't take into account the free one hour upgrade. It should be done as follows: 500 gems saves you 12.5 days (300 hours) with goblin researcher or gives you an extra ~1hr per day with apprentice researcher. So to get back your 500 gems value, you would need 300 days. If you send 750 gems, you need 450 days, and if you spend 1000 gems, you need 600 days. There is no need to look at in a cumulative way since all the upgrades do the same thing (add 1 hour)
Sorry to late comment, but you forgot about some factors here 1. 3 Research potion from raid (assuming the clans always do the raid and player consistently bought it) as it doesn't cost any gem but only 600 raid coin. 3 days reduction per week with no gems vs 2 - 12 hours per day with 500 - 8500 gems. 2. Fast upgrade time means more resources to spend. How you would keep up the progress with your farming capabilty, especially for those casual one who doesn't want to gem (including the army potion) This is a perspective from f2p player, as we don't know yet for sure maybe some new apprentices like this will added in the future and maybe more worthed. I really hope some analysis with factors i mentioned above. Thank you.
My prefference is to do the apprentice builder first because life is way better when you have all heroes in max level. The lab is pretty useless after your main army upgrades are done, then the rest of the 90% is just incase you wanna play different things.
Hi BD clash. I watched your video countless times, and it's still now clear. Should I upgrade BA or LA? tbh i think there are lot of hero levels already and hero books don't seem to skip to max level of that townhall when it comes to heroes. But as a th12 player, i also see that troop upgrades are way slower even with 3 research potiona every week in exchange of raid medals. To max heroes...like if continuously keep upgrading them, normally it takes a month at this townhall. That's my pov, so my question with this pov is whether BA/LA will be better to upgrade? I have exact 5000 gems rn.
@@niranjanbhat7597 BA definetly, bcuz although you have only one lab, in contrast of 6 builders, you can use them on heroes so you can play them more often, you'll not max out every troop and it is good to escalate your builders so they dont stay idle while you sleepl. Also helps with better resources and time management overall. But although your priority is 100% the BA when his upgrades start to get too expensive you may as well, if you want, upgrade LA for better value/gem. But that's just my opinion based on some research and thinking, I don't actually do have any of them upgraded (i actually dont even have BA yet lol) and what me, personally, would do.
As great as LA is, when you're maxed th16 with everything, you're better off saving gems and waiting for the next best thing because we'll finish all the new lab upgrades before every quarterly update with my guesstimate.
just because lab upgades always falls behind compared to buildings, doesnt mean that you must upgrade every single troop to level up town hall, you only need upgraded troops that you are using - the rest is irrelevant, its spam.
Dam i just got my builder apprentice to level 4 and now saving to progress him. Im an old school player just just recently returned about 6months ago so i spent the gems way backs when gems was the only thing you could put your real money towards. Back then i was free to play
as a goldpass only kinda player im 100% maxing this guy asap without selling important magic items ofc. maxed the apprentice builder aswell as soon as i could
nah, i wouldn't say to prioritize the lab assistant, because you won't need all the troops from the lab to do a successful attack, especially you have the power potion, for those rare case, most people will have their one or two attack strategy. and that's it however, you will need ALL the defenses to increase the win rate of a defense, regardless war / farm. and there is no potion to max your defenses. but as BD said, make your own judgement
Coming from a maxed TH 16… Don’t use gems for the apprentice or lab assistant. My builders have been sitting vacant forever. Why use 10,000 gems to slightly speed up a couple of troop upgrades. Use the gems on something more valuable.
If you are already maxed, your statement makes sense. From someone who is "only" lacking walls and some lesser important lab stuff, I still don't think I'll ever be maxed IF I don't buy the assistants. With a new town hall every 12 months now, I will not keep up
My war strategie is electro dragon, dragon, three spells they are maxed so even after the update it won’t take long to max lab assitent is a waste of gem I prefer the other scam and ironically clock tower from builder base is better than apprentace builder but it is only better than lab dude if you are upgrading two troops at a time i wish we can bring the clock tower to the main village instead of these and why can we upgrade only one troop at a time ? At th17 with new troops coming with every town hall we should be able to upgrade two troops at a time so you can choose which to boost otherwise just make him boost upgrading troops automatically it not that often to use lab goblin
So the best use of gems in the games is to unlock builders and upgrade upgrading assistance. In the future, a Pet Assistance might be added probably when Town Hall 18 is released.
Does research potion stack with lab assistant? I think builder apprentice does with builder potion, so you get more value from builder apprentice if used at the same time as builder potion
@akhileshtambat9551 i dont think so because i invest all my hammer on labs, so even when its never be there, my labs will always finish first. I have th16 premature defends with max labs and max hero.
@@barasantoso1846 I see I am only a th-13 and for me I don't get selected in cwl much ,so this is going to be very helpful for me as I can max structures and lab at the same time
You can think about apprentice builder and lab assistant like builder huts. At not point would you sacrifice a builder hut for gems for magic items. Same principal applies to any assistant that saves time and is permanent
Like the apprentice builder it costs a lot of gems but since it is basically half of a research potion every day at max level it is definitely worth it.
Numbers wise, I see that the goblin builder / helper is better, you should promote it more than the other ways to spend gems, builder apprentice and lab helper are nice but the value takes too long is not worth it as a new player or a player that is mid through the game compare to goblin builder. As well with goblin builder you can have 2 things upgrading in the lab and use a lab potion getting insane amount of value, idk if the lab assistant can focus on 2 things as well, so it would make the goblin builder / helper way more valuable.i am gonna keep my lab assistant at lvl 3 same as my builder apprentice and focus instead on goblin builder till I am max
I think B.A is more use fool then L.A there are lots of player who just find relief in one attack startegy because they want to get loot 100% by using their attacks so thats why they dont care about others troops Where B.A will going to help you to 1st) upgrade heroes quickly which make your attack strong with your fav troops. 2nd) we have lots of other stuff that we get easily to reduce laboratory work like books and research portion by raid medal and clan war medal. 3rd) even if you have max base it doesnt matter a strong troop army will destroy you and get 3 stars. So last if your late behind by atleast 2 townhall so yes B.A>L.A
Lab assistant is insane value. It is basically halving the upgrade time. But then again, maxing out the troops is not necessary. Some troops are not really that important to upgrade if they are not used in your attacks. Upgrading and maxing all the troop is something that you just happen to do. That's it. Like I usually finish upgrading my stuff like gowitch, super wall breaker, sneakies, haste, jump, lightning etc then I am done. Done for war and done for farming. The rest are just upgrades that I just do because the lab is available. Like archers and barbs for what? Super archer blimps and for super barbs for warden walks? Dragons, electro drags and dragon rider. Like what dragon rider even do? How are they even different from dragons? I don't upgrade those. I mean I upgrade those just to not let the research lab stay idle. That's it.
I like this, a lot of people will say to just use 1 or 2 armies, but i prefer to have a lot of flexibility with armies. What's the point of maxing my base if i only have dragons to play with without having to buy power potions? I don't want to buy power potions, I'd rather get training potions and ores so i can have more fun attacking with all kinds of armies. Right now, I have only 2 maxed attacks with dragons and edrags as a th12, but my th11 lab was maxed so it's not too far behind at least. But i do want to use super witch and super bowler armies, yeti armies. These use all kinds of troops and I want them all to be strong without needing power potions. I'd rather save the potions for upgrading to a new th or for cwl if I need them, and sell excess ones.
To speak in more frank term there is a new lab assistance and u should ipgrade him till the cost increases from the same amount to the apprentice builder then upgrade the apprentice builder till he reaches the same upgrade price as the apprentice builder and then repeat the same process
This is basically 50% time reduction in all upgrades. Great value. Luckily I saved up my gems though I am kinda doubtful about this spending xD I don't really use too many tropps ehh
Not worth it in my opinion because you only get to upgrade one item at a time unless you use the goblin to upgrade 2. However if it’s going to take you a bit to farm the resources for the next thing. So if it finishes faster than you can farm. The spell factory is sitting anyways.
Hi bd, it's been very grateful watching your videos. I wanted you to make a video about the pets. Since I am a th 13, I am soon gonna be th14. So I wanted recommendation about to upgrade which pet, which pet not. And I also have no idea about them. Like I have idea about equipments just because of your videos and for that when I upgraded to th13, I didn't upgrade a single level on the default equipments of RC to not waste then since I am not gonna use then in upper th. So like this, it would be really helpful if you made a video of complete pets. Thanks
The lvl 12 LA will doesn't speed up your lab by 150% its 200% since it cuts 12 days from upgrades which is half which means that you can complete 2 days worth of upgrades in one
Let I am at th12 cost-3000gems Potion- 120 gems for reducing 24 hr. So I can get (3000/120)= 25 potion.which is (25*24)= 600hr. Lab a. can do 6hr per day so in 100 days I can complete 600 hr and for future upgrade it can be used . So yes it is helpful in this term. I didn't consider other factors.
Upgrading the assistance makes them upgrade faster. Supercell should make upgrading the builder's huts make builders upgrade faster too not only serve the purpose of defence.
I think you are missing the key thing that most people only run 4/5 troops. Why would I bother upgrading him when I only care about a few troops. The difference with the BA is that you have to upgrade your buildings
@@rohithreddy75 you can get 160 gems at most from the games + a rune plus a few potions. If you sell all those potions, you might rach 210 at best.

Apprentice builder is very important because you can adjust the timings, so upgrades don't finish when you're sleeping
The apprentice builder also helps with staggering upgrades. That way more than one upgrade won't finish at the same time.
He is important because he cuts down hero upgrade times by 1/3. 8 day upgrade finishes in roughly 5 days.

On the days saved 5:44, you should take into account the 5 builders, by example book of hero doesn’t save you 8 days per 500 gems but merely 1.6 total builder time. Same with book of building and fighting, building saves you 8.65/5 = 1.73 days skipped, where as you can only do 1 lab upgrade at a time so your actually saving 8.65 days
Unless the builder apprentice and lab assistant change to elixir upgrades I’m not buying/upgrading them
Same
i dont understand what you wrote
@@DR9YHe meant, instead of gems he want to upgrade the lab assistant with gold/elixir
keep dreaming 😂
I am already at level 7 apprentice builder and I have dumped every single achievement gem into it ever since it was released. I don't have that many Achievements remaining to bump up this as well. Fingers crossed we get more Achievements with TH 17 update. 9:02 lol you should have said this 3 months ago.
I like how bro counts everything in just seconds
Bro doesn't know that video can be edited😂
@@MKL-dx1lc top tier rage bait or you didnt get it, anyway congrats on either of them
I think the BA is more important than the LA as every week we can get 3 lab potions with clan capital medals which basically skips 3 days of upgrade time but we can not get builder potions at that rate to skip build time
If you are rusher and not maxing you're lab,LA not worth it,but if you are maxing everything it totally worth it, because lab take so much time than the building upgrade
Event with 3 research potion per week the lab wont catch it the building
8:20 insane. Id much rather have build time decreased than lab time. Who cares about the level of my minions if I use miner attacks😭.
Just came on to this channel, I'd like to give some feedback if that's ok. I love the information, but the editing around it makes it annoying when displaying information such as 1:35. Would prefer to remove the bouncy and wiggle animations so I can read the chart as you're explaining it. I understand you might do that to keep the video fun, but it detracts from the informative aspect of the video. Just my two cents. Thanks.
What if they add more levels in the future?
Also, a pet helper (or pet trainer) is definitely going to be added.
New pet trainer! Invest up to 15,750 gems to this new assistant, and he will take off up to 24 hours of work in one hour for pet upgrades!
Note: He has a chance to accidentally euthanize your pet... leading you to have to get a new one starting from level one!
😂
9:30 "You can actually queue upgrades for the builder's apprentice and the lab assistant now."
That's a fantastic upgrade. The cooldown is 23 hours (which is why there's the fractional benefit), but many people likely just use it once a day. For myself, I can use it right when I wake up but unless I'm either waking up gradually earlier until I can stay up late enough to use it or waking up in the middle of the night, there's no reasonable way to get the maximum benefit out of it. Being able to queue the upgrades allows it to be used immediately when available.
This is what I figured out:
Lab assistant will not directly reduce the time to half.
For example, let's say an upgrade cost 4 days and you have max lab assistant.
After Day 1: 4 - 1.5 = 2.5 days remaining
After Day 2: 2.5 - 1.5 = 1 day remaining
On day 3: 1 - 0.5 = 0.5 day remaining
(not considering 23 hours cooldown, for simplicity assuming 24h cooldown)
So, in total you can complete a 4-day upgrade in 2.5 days.
increase = 4 - 2.5 / 4 = 37.5%
in practice there is always gonna be a bit of time you waste for example with not logging on whent the LA is available for about an hour or upgardes finishing erlier yes but in a prefect example he would skip exactly half of a day every day effectively halving the upgrade time
@@Pancake-ue3rqit's automatic now it's in the vid
It really not worth unless you are a sweaty gamer
The math is undeniable, but it's not everything. Another important aspect is how you play the games. Are you goin to play everyday for the next 3 years? Do you already have all the hero epic equipment?
The presence of gems alone increase the quality of life while playing the games. I have lot of occasion which playing these games won't fit your schedule, gems allow you to tweak that
Troop aren't ready war but you bout to get busy? Gems
Upgrade bout to finish in 10 minutes but you won't be able to log in for another upgrade? Gems
This is another important aspect to max efficiency imo
Aside from prohibitive gem cost, that can be saved bit by bit, the biggest problem is that hist level cap is tied to Town Hall, if you don't rush, but instead upgrade him in batches every few months, this makes the time for him to break even significantly longer, if not upgraded in bulk the break even point shifts to the highiest one you just upgraded to. Rushers, as usual, we are are the chosen ones to be efficient.
I don't get it how is it broken this lab assistant give only 12x speed for 1hr and how much it cost to 8000 gems how is this even fair.
Meanwhile we can buy 3 research portion from shop with medel every week . Cheaper than lab assistant. 1 research portion gives 24x for 1hr
@@shohan5576 yeah, I don't find it much helpful
yeah but LA lasts forever, he will be around TH21 with every day being a return of investment
Not everyone can afford 8000 jems for this investment
@@shohan5576 everyone can, it's just a matter of time you are willing to spend on saving for it
I honestly don't think it is proper to compare the lab assistant to the builder potion and book of builder. It would be much better to compare it with book of spells, book of fighting and research potion as lab assistant solely focused on troops and machines upgrade time rather than buildings. Hope you could make a new comparison with these basis.
Watching this video start to finish acting like I'm not a maxed out endgame player who has already maxed the builder apprentice and will definitely max the lab apprentice. Maybe I'm just watching to cope and convince myself it's value.
Same here bro maxed out Builder's Apprentice the day it came out with 6500 pack of gems now I am planning to get the same pack and get the lab assistant to level 10 and grind 2k gems manually to max him to level 12 😢
Next helper : helps train armies faster for 2 hours
Next help: helps train pets faster for 1 hour.
All good if it dont cost gems, even de would be worth it for that
BRO NEVER PROCASTINATES!!!.
As soon i saw the lab assistant, I knew BD was gonna make a comprehensive video about it.
But it is a lotta work equations and charts and everything,
Damn bro respect.
If it was me I wud have put it off to the end of my priorities
True with regards to maxing out everything, but that’s not what most players are looking for. We usually just use a few troops and upgrade those first. So for me the lab assistant is useless. The builder apprentice’s use doesn’t come from the amount of time he saves but from allowing us to adjust upgrade times to rather have them finish before we sleep or make sure we don’t have 2+ days with no builders available, making it much less important to plan upgrade times perfectly
You don't need all your troops,spells and siege machines maxed.
Even for donating better levels to other people, from my experience, all it takes is a lot of research potions for raid medals to speed it up, and you're good.
Thank you for the analytical videos as always.
But I think when calculating the required days to catch up, you shouldn't take into account the free one hour upgrade.
It should be done as follows:
500 gems saves you 12.5 days (300 hours) with goblin researcher or gives you an extra ~1hr per day with apprentice researcher.
So to get back your 500 gems value, you would need 300 days.
If you send 750 gems, you need 450 days, and if you spend 1000 gems, you need 600 days.
There is no need to look at in a cumulative way since all the upgrades do the same thing (add 1 hour)
I think the best change they added is the assigning of helpers, it makes it so much easier and more valuable now
Sorry to late comment, but you forgot about some factors here
1. 3 Research potion from raid (assuming the clans always do the raid and player consistently bought it) as it doesn't cost any gem but only 600 raid coin. 3 days reduction per week with no gems vs 2 - 12 hours per day with 500 - 8500 gems.
2. Fast upgrade time means more resources to spend. How you would keep up the progress with your farming capabilty, especially for those casual one who doesn't want to gem (including the army potion)
This is a perspective from f2p player, as we don't know yet for sure maybe some new apprentices like this will added in the future and maybe more worthed.
I really hope some analysis with factors i mentioned above.
Thank you.
100 free toy medals are in the supercell store right now important if you are going for 3 equipments like me.
My prefference is to do the apprentice builder first because life is way better when you have all heroes in max level. The lab is pretty useless after your main army upgrades are done, then the rest of the 90% is just incase you wanna play different things.
I won't be suprised next update if tom from hayday goes to clash. Imagine paying tom to get magic items everyday
Well now I am holding on my gems 😂
10:00 what about the equipments that needed for the new players
Hi BD clash. I watched your video countless times, and it's still now clear. Should I upgrade BA or LA? tbh i think there are lot of hero levels already and hero books don't seem to skip to max level of that townhall when it comes to heroes. But as a th12 player, i also see that troop upgrades are way slower even with 3 research potiona every week in exchange of raid medals. To max heroes...like if continuously keep upgrading them, normally it takes a month at this townhall. That's my pov, so my question with this pov is whether BA/LA will be better to upgrade? I have exact 5000 gems rn.
@@niranjanbhat7597 BA definetly, bcuz although you have only one lab, in contrast of 6 builders, you can use them on heroes so you can play them more often, you'll not max out every troop and it is good to escalate your builders so they dont stay idle while you sleepl. Also helps with better resources and time management overall. But although your priority is 100% the BA when his upgrades start to get too expensive you may as well, if you want, upgrade LA for better value/gem. But that's just my opinion based on some research and thinking, I don't actually do have any of them upgraded (i actually dont even have BA yet lol) and what me, personally, would do.
As great as LA is, when you're maxed th16 with everything, you're better off saving gems and waiting for the next best thing because we'll finish all the new lab upgrades before every quarterly update with my guesstimate.
Most efficient way to spend gems is hero skins trust me
just because lab upgades always falls behind compared to buildings, doesnt mean that you must upgrade every single troop to level up town hall, you only need upgraded troops that you are using - the rest is irrelevant, its spam.
Dam i just got my builder apprentice to level 4 and now saving to progress him. Im an old school player just just recently returned about 6months ago so i spent the gems way backs when gems was the only thing you could put your real money towards. Back then i was free to play
Missed how overpowered lab spells are. If you spend your raid medals on them each week the lab isn’t the bottle neck anymore…
Another costly gem i hope supercell will add more achievement to compensate or make the gem a little bit easier to obtain
😂 😂
Can you use both builder apprentice and lab assistant at the same time?
as a goldpass only kinda player im 100% maxing this guy asap without selling important magic items ofc.
maxed the apprentice builder aswell as soon as i could
nah, i wouldn't say to prioritize the lab assistant, because you won't need all the troops from the lab to do a successful attack, especially you have the power potion, for those rare case, most people will have their one or two attack strategy. and that's it
however, you will need ALL the defenses to increase the win rate of a defense, regardless war / farm. and there is no potion to max your defenses.
but as BD said, make your own judgement
you can save raid medals if you purchase resource potions from trader but what will you use the raid medals anyway for,maybe get extra glowy ores
Coming from a maxed TH 16… Don’t use gems for the apprentice or lab assistant. My builders have been sitting vacant forever. Why use 10,000 gems to slightly speed up a couple of troop upgrades. Use the gems on something more valuable.
If you are already maxed, your statement makes sense. From someone who is "only" lacking walls and some lesser important lab stuff, I still don't think I'll ever be maxed IF I don't buy the assistants. With a new town hall every 12 months now, I will not keep up
My war strategie is electro dragon, dragon, three spells they are maxed so even after the update it won’t take long to max lab assitent is a waste of gem I prefer the other scam and ironically clock tower from builder base is better than apprentace builder but it is only better than lab dude if you are upgrading two troops at a time i wish we can bring the clock tower to the main village instead of these and why can we upgrade only one troop at a time ? At th17 with new troops coming with every town hall we should be able to upgrade two troops at a time so you can choose which to boost otherwise just make him boost upgrading troops automatically it not that often to use lab goblin
So the best use of gems in the games is to unlock builders and upgrade upgrading assistance. In the future, a Pet Assistance might be added probably when Town Hall 18 is released.
With math
Best value is
Apprentice builder - level 4
Lab assistant - level 4
Cost - 4000 gem . Best value
Bruh I literally just spent all my gems during hammer jam
Does research potion stack with lab assistant? I think builder apprentice does with builder potion, so you get more value from builder apprentice if used at the same time as builder potion
@@Chombiee No the builder apprentice isn't affected by the pots, so the lab assistant should be the same
No for both
i think builder apprentice is the best for one reason only. I use it to speed up my hero upgrades only so I can war more often
Apreantice builder has much more value. Because we can use it to make hero upgrade faster. (For premature base)
Just use hero potions bro
But as he explained lab is the bottleneck. Both are really good and I think should be spent equal gems upon.
@akhileshtambat9551 i dont think so because i invest all my hammer on labs, so even when its never be there, my labs will always finish first. I have th16 premature defends with max labs and max hero.
@@barasantoso1846 I see I am only a th-13 and for me I don't get selected in cwl much ,so this is going to be very helpful for me as I can max structures and lab at the same time
So in what should i invest my gems ?
You can think about apprentice builder and lab assistant like builder huts. At not point would you sacrifice a builder hut for gems for magic items. Same principal applies to any assistant that saves time and is permanent
Maxed him after the update, hopefully it'll be worth it, we'll see
Like the apprentice builder it costs a lot of gems but since it is basically half of a research potion every day at max level it is definitely worth it.
Numbers wise, I see that the goblin builder / helper is better, you should promote it more than the other ways to spend gems, builder apprentice and lab helper are nice but the value takes too long is not worth it as a new player or a player that is mid through the game compare to goblin builder. As well with goblin builder you can have 2 things upgrading in the lab and use a lab potion getting insane amount of value, idk if the lab assistant can focus on 2 things as well, so it would make the goblin builder / helper way more valuable.i am gonna keep my lab assistant at lvl 3 same as my builder apprentice and focus instead on goblin builder till I am max
The hidden fact is 8.5k gems needed for upgrade to max
I think B.A is more use fool then L.A there are lots of player who just find relief in one attack startegy because they want to get loot 100% by using their attacks so thats why they dont care about others troops
Where B.A will going to help you to
1st) upgrade heroes quickly which make your attack strong with your fav troops.
2nd) we have lots of other stuff that we get easily to reduce laboratory work like books and research portion by raid medal and clan war medal.
3rd) even if you have max base it doesnt matter a strong troop army will destroy you and get 3 stars.
So last if your late behind by atleast 2 townhall so yes B.A>L.A
Lab assistant is insane value. It is basically halving the upgrade time.
But then again, maxing out the troops is not necessary. Some troops are not really that important to upgrade if they are not used in your attacks.
Upgrading and maxing all the troop is something that you just happen to do. That's it. Like I usually finish upgrading my stuff like gowitch, super wall breaker, sneakies, haste, jump, lightning etc then I am done.
Done for war and done for farming. The rest are just upgrades that I just do because the lab is available. Like archers and barbs for what? Super archer blimps and for super barbs for warden walks? Dragons, electro drags and dragon rider.
Like what dragon rider even do? How are they even different from dragons? I don't upgrade those. I mean I upgrade those just to not let the research lab stay idle. That's it.
I already maxed but still watching this video😂😂
and builder apprentice also max😂😂
8.5k i way too pricy for this like hell nah
I am def not gonna put resources into this
I like this, a lot of people will say to just use 1 or 2 armies, but i prefer to have a lot of flexibility with armies. What's the point of maxing my base if i only have dragons to play with without having to buy power potions? I don't want to buy power potions, I'd rather get training potions and ores so i can have more fun attacking with all kinds of armies.
Right now, I have only 2 maxed attacks with dragons and edrags as a th12, but my th11 lab was maxed so it's not too far behind at least. But i do want to use super witch and super bowler armies, yeti armies. These use all kinds of troops and I want them all to be strong without needing power potions.
I'd rather save the potions for upgrading to a new th or for cwl if I need them, and sell excess ones.
To speak in more frank term there is a new lab assistance and u should ipgrade him till the cost increases from the same amount to the apprentice builder then upgrade the apprentice builder till he reaches the same upgrade price as the apprentice builder and then repeat the same process
You don't need to max every troops to attack . but need every building to defend your base
Just to avoid a 3*
So you can use the builder potion and the lab potion while the assistants are being use to maximize the time as well?
This is basically 50% time reduction in all upgrades. Great value. Luckily I saved up my gems though I am kinda doubtful about this spending xD I don't really use too many tropps ehh
Not worth it in my opinion because you only get to upgrade one item at a time unless you use the goblin to upgrade 2. However if it’s going to take you a bit to farm the resources for the next thing. So if it finishes faster than you can farm. The spell factory is sitting anyways.
They should just make the laboratory upgrade spell, troops and siege seperately
I maxed the lab assistant today 😢. Will it be worth it? Becoz my account is currently max th16
Hearing what he is saying:
MY MIND BE LIKE ::🤯👽
Feels good that I spent all my gems during hammer jam
I would still rather upgrade the apprentice builder cause you have more build upgrades rather than troop or spell upgrades
I remember what happened last time when you said that the lavaloon puppet is broken
Hi bd, it's been very grateful watching your videos. I wanted you to make a video about the pets. Since I am a th 13, I am soon gonna be th14. So I wanted recommendation about to upgrade which pet, which pet not. And I also have no idea about them. Like I have idea about equipments just because of your videos and for that when I upgraded to th13, I didn't upgrade a single level on the default equipments of RC to not waste then since I am not gonna use then in upper th. So like this, it would be really helpful if you made a video of complete pets.
Thanks
That’s actually insane ,, decreasing -50% every day from the real time
The lvl 12 LA will doesn't speed up your lab by 150% its 200% since it cuts 12 days from upgrades which is half which means that you can complete 2 days worth of upgrades in one
I spent all my gems in goblin builder and research while the hammer jam
So much math for a game I play in the toilet is crazy
Last thing they need now is the pet assistant
@@Just_gaming723 pet caretaker if terms are used or less bro will assist a lower life form 🤣
Let I am at th12 cost-3000gems
Potion- 120 gems for reducing 24 hr. So I can get (3000/120)= 25 potion.which is (25*24)= 600hr.
Lab a. can do 6hr per day so in 100 days I can complete 600 hr and for future upgrade it can be used . So yes it is helpful in this term. I didn't consider other factors.
Can you please removing the oscillation of your face cam like on 4:15 it's makes me dizzy and unable to watch video properly please 😭
Upgrading the assistance makes them upgrade faster. Supercell should make upgrading the builder's huts make builders upgrade faster too not only serve the purpose of defence.
Im going to loose all my 7k gems and not even have him max 😭
I think you are missing the key thing that most people only run 4/5 troops. Why would I bother upgrading him when I only care about a few troops. The difference with the BA is that you have to upgrade your buildings
I have 25000+ gems right now....what should i do?
Buy
I am thinking about those gems I wasted donating since donating with gems became a thing.
You could still get atleast 300 from clan games and minimum 80 if you sell all potions,resources etc from monthly season track and other ways.
@@rohithreddy75 you can get 160 gems at most from the games + a rune plus a few potions. If you sell all those potions, you might rach 210 at best. Selling a rune for 50 gems is stupid. 80 from the monthly season tracks? A book of heros at the end (shouldn't sell that one), two training potions at the beginning of the month # one clock tower potion. You can sell builder's elixir and builder's gold for 5 gems each, makes 10 gems per month. Same goes for capital gold and regular gold and elixir (again, shouldn't sell that). That makes ~50gems at best every month. Or are you talking about goldpass? Well, that is not F2P...
Ill only spend on it if i have nothing else to spend on, as im a maxed th16 and will prolly use 1 or 2 armies on th17 meta.
