Who would have imagined that Builder’s Huts could actually fight back? At Town Hall 14, players have the exciting opportunity to upgrade their Builder’s Huts, turning them into a defense building.
Once weaponized, these Builder’s Huts gain the ability to launch attacks against enemy troops and even repair nearby buildings within a limited radius.
Unlike other buildings, Builder’s Huts cannot be built using regular resources. Due to their significance, each Builder’s Hut requires a gem in order to be built.
What’s interesting is that the number of gems required increases with each successive Builder’s Hut. While most buildings have a construction time, Builder’s Huts can be built instantly.
Players have the option to purchase up to five Builder’s Huts in total. The first one is provided free of charge, but the rest of the Builder’s Huts come with the following prices:
- 250 gems required to build second Builder’s Hut
- 500 gems required to build third Builder’s Hut
- 1000 gems required to build fourth Builder’s Hut
- 2000 gems required to build fifth Builder’s Hut

Builder’s Hut Statistics
Once upgraded to level 2 or higher, Builder’s Huts take on a new role as defense buildings. This means that they can now be targeted by troops that prioritize attacking defense buildings. It is important to consider this change in their status when building a base.
When Builder’s Huts are weaponized, they function as single-target defense buildings, enabling them to focus their attacks on one unit at a time.
As soon as a unit enters the range of a Builder’s Hut, its top springs out, transforming into a crossbow.
This crossbow then targets and attacks nearby enemy troops, while the Builders within the Hut spring into action to repair any nearby buildings that have been damaged.
Interestingly, the Builders are also capable of repairing their own Huts when they come under attack.
Builder’s Huts have a respectable range of 7 tiles, which is equivalent to the range of a Wizard Tower. This range allows them to engage targets located within that distance.
Moreover, the Builders inside the Huts have the ability to repair buildings situated within a range of 7 tiles as well. This means that they can quickly attend to any damaged buildings within their reach, allowing those buildings to stand tall a little longer.
In terms of offense, Builder’s Huts have an impressive attack speed of 0.4 seconds. This quick attack rate allows them to launch their attacks rapidly.
It’s worth noting that Builder’s Huts can effectively target both air and ground units, making them effective against all types of troops.
At its maximum level, the Builder’s Hut achieves the peak of its performance.
It becomes capable of dealing 120 damage per second to enemy units, while also exhibiting impressive repair abilities by restoring 70 hitpoints to nearby buildings every second.
Notably, the Builder’s Hut experiences a substantial increase in durability, with its hitpoint pool reaching 1600, a significant upgrade from its initial level 1 value of 250.
Vulnerabilities of the Builder’s Hut
While Builder’s Huts serve as vital components of our bases’ construction and upgrade processes, they are not without vulnerabilities.
Let’s explore some of the key vulnerabilities of Builder’s Huts and discuss effective strategies to counter these weaknesses.
Vulnerability to Lightning Spells
The low hitpoints of Builder’s Huts render them particularly susceptible to a series of Lightning Spells. These devastating spells, when cast strategically, can destroy Builder’s Huts, significantly compromising the defenses of our base.
To counter this vulnerability, it is crucial to keep Builder’s Huts spread out across the base. By maintaining adequate spacing between the Huts, the impact of Lightning Spells can be minimized, as the spells will only affect a single Hut rather than multiple ones.
This distributed placement strategy ensures that even if one Builder’s Hut falls victim to Lightning Spells, the rest remain intact.
Vulnerability to Long-Range Attacks:
The limited range of Builder’s Huts, extending up to 7 tiles, exposes them to threats from long-range heroes like the Archer Queen and Grand Warden.
These heroes can attack from a distance that falls outside the Builder’s Hut’s range, rendering them unable to retaliate.
To counter this vulnerability, strategic placement of Builder’s Huts becomes essential. By positioning them away from walls, you can limit the reach of these heroes to the Builder’s Huts.
This forces them to divert their attention and target other buildings instead, buying valuable time for the Builder’s Huts to focus on repairing and defending against other threats.
Lack of Upgrade Levels at Lower Town Halls
Builder’s Huts, especially in the earlier Town Hall levels (1 to 13), may seem less useful due to their lack of upgrades. However, they can still contribute to the defense of your base when placed strategically.
Placing Builder’s Huts on the edges of the base serves as an effective tactic to waste the attack time of attackers.
By diverting their attention and efforts towards destroying Builder’s Hut in the last phase of an attack, attackers are compelled to spend valuable time which sometimes results in a two-star.
