Hello, Clasher!
Upgrading to Town Hall 17 in Clash of Clans can feel like a slow grind. Every level brings higher costs and more loot needed. But what if you could speed up the process? In this guide, we’ll share 8 tips to help you upgrade to TH17 quickly.
From maximizing loot to protecting your resources, these strategies will get you there faster.
1. Rush to Town Hall 9—Yes, Really!
Most players are used to the “slow and steady” approach, but for rapid progress, rushing can be your best friend. Moving straight to TH9 opens up access to Hero equipment, ores, and the essential loot you need for higher-level upgrades. Don’t worry about looking weak now—this strategy’s all about the long game. Once you’ve reached TH9, things start getting serious.
Here's a video that gives you visual insights of the tips we're about to discuss here.
2. Forget the Defenses (For Now)
Your defenses can wait. Focus instead on upgrading buildings that improve your offense and resource generation. This way, you can maximize your loot intake without wasting time and resources on unnecessary defenses early on. Leave those cannons and archer towers at level 1 and let’s get to the good stuff!
3. Prioritize Building Upgrades in This Order
Curious which upgrades will give you the most bang for your buck? Here’s where your focus should be:
- Builder Huts for more simultaneous upgrades
- Army Camps for more troop capacity
- Heroes to crush your enemies at higher TH levels
- Laboratory to boost troops and spells
Follow these priorities, and you’ll see why rushing to TH9 pays off in the long run.
4. Join an Active Clan (Bonus: Free Ores!)
A clan that actively participates in Clan Capital and wars is priceless. Raid medals you earn from Clan Capital let you buy ores for Hero equipment, which means faster progression for you. Don’t skip out on this free resources!
5. Push Trophies to Earn More Loot
Higher trophy leagues don’t just bring in glory—they bring loot. At Town Hall 12 and above, aim for the Titan leagues where the loot bonuses are unreal. You'll be collecting huge amounts of resources every time you log in, keeping your storages full and upgrades rolling.
6. Use Efficient Farming Armies
Forget the slow-to-train armies. If you’re serious about speed, go for Sneaky Goblins or Queen Charge. These armies allow you to grab insane loot quickly, especially useful in farming sessions where time matters. Trust us—this change will let you gain resources faster than ever.
7. Protect Your Hard-Earned Loot with a Farm Base
Looting is essential, but remember: if attackers steal your resources, you’re back to square one. So, how do you keep all that loot safe? It’s simple, use a Farm base! Farm bases are designed to protect your loot-filled buildings like the Town Hall and storages, making it tough for attackers to walk away with your hard-earned resources.

8. Farm in Higher Leagues for Maximum Loot
Once you're comfortable at Town Hall 9, consider farming in higher leagues. Leagues like Titan and Legends offer insane loot rewards per attack. Yes, you’ll have to push your trophies, but the loot you can earn is well worth the effort.
Plus, you won’t lose any loot on defense in these leagues, so it’s a win-win!
Let’s get you looting and upgrading all the way to TH17! Follow these tips, and you’ll get there faster than you thought possible.
