First 1,000 Trophies

Getting your first 1,000 trophies should be possible to do with 0 or 1 loss in one or two days if you follow these basic suggestions. Before getting started, you should decide if you want to spend money or not. If you are going to spend money, there are two options. the first is Dash pass. The second is buying 3 evolution shards for knight.  If you want to get to 5k trophies as quickly as possible, you can do it more quickly by buying 3 evolution shards for knight twice and using the cards to upgrade knight. That should cost 8 dollars and you should be able to get knight to level 14 within a month or to if you reserve using common and universal books for the knight and only use those reaching levels 13 and 14. Unless you are very unluck, you should get 2 books to upgrade common cards by that time. If you decide to get a dash pass, that will help you mid and long term, but it isn't necessary for reaching 5k trophies.

For your first 1k trophies, you're basic strategy is simple, you  start with the same training hand as everyone else, so the 8 cards are set. So, you'll mostly just place archers or musketeer behind the knight and that's usually enough to win. Arrows should be used inf your opponent places archers near his tower. Arrows will kill the archers and both cost the same exilxir, meaning you get free damage on his tower doing this.


Sometimes you opponet will attack you with the giant. The minni-pekka should be able to destory the giant before it reaches your base. If you bought the knight evolution and your knigh is several levels above your other cards, you'll want to attack with your knight up front. If not, you can use the giant and place other cards behind him.

So, games should go as follows. First, wait for 10 elixir unless your opponent plays first. If he plays first, arrows any archers when they are at a princess tower (if both are together) Otherwise, set your units to fight his once they cross the river with your knight first and your arrows or musketeer behind him. If he uses the giant, your minipekka can destory him. Use only your minipekka if he uses only the giant, otherwise, use your knight to soak up attacks and your mini pekka do damage the knight.  Early on, you want to use your minions rarely or never, and your giant only when you have the advantage and only ahead of 2 or more other troops.

Once you get goblins from areana 2, replace your minions with goblins.  Avoid grouping your units together where arrows can hit them all at once.
 

Reaching 3,000 Trophies

Getting from 1k to 3k trophies you will want to replace giant with tombstone and then later with witch. If you want, you can replace archers with bats also. One idea that makes the game easy at early stages is to replace fireball with Morter. For a while, no one will be ready to face Morter and you should get easy wins for most games until you reach 3k, but people will eventually get good enough to figure out how to play against it.You can replace minipekka with dark prince. At that point, you're best moving back to a hand that consists mostly of Knight, Witch, Musketeer, bats, goblins, arrows, and dark prince, along with a "wind condition" card that targets your opponent's tower. I would suggest battle ram.

Getting to 3K trophies should easily be possible within 1 week, but it will get harder if you didn't spend money because you may face a few people who did and have a huge advantage. Still, you should be within 2 tower levels 90 percent of the time and thus have a chance to win. Your will want to generally play defense and save elixier. You want to try to build up 10 elixir when possible and then attack with a big push usually. That means starting with your knight in the back and putting other cards behind him. Sometiemes, you'll want to attack on both sides, by putting your win condition (battle ram) on the other side. Other times, you're best strategy is a counter attack. Defend the attack of the other player, and then put your knight in front of your cards and put down what cards you have and attack after stopping his attack.

The biggest mistake people make here is not waiting. It's a big mistake to attack with just 1 card. When possible, you want a high hhp tank, your knight, in front, and other cards behind. 


Raching 5,000 Trophies


Reaching 5,000 Trophies will  require using basically the same game strategy as above, but also learning more about the game. This website has tips and links to them that will help. It also requires leveling up your cards. The key to getting to 5k trophies quickly includes taking advantage of the various ways to get free cards and gold. It also requires some flexibility in changing your hand based on what cards you have leveled up. Here is how to do that:
