Top ways to use the Battle Copter in Clash of Clans

5) Use good troop combinations with Battle Copter

With the latest Clash of Clans update, the developers have added various upgrades for lots of troops in the Builder Base. These units now possess special skills, which can be combined with the Battle Copter to come up with better strategies and win more battles.

Giants and Canons will be one of the best troop combos for Battle Copter. The former can tank the damage. And the latter can quickly clear defenses and other buildings with the Battle Copter providing air support. You can also use other air troops with this copter to completely shift to an air attack and render the opposition's ground defenses useless.

4) Use its Bomb Rush skill wisely

The Battle Copter has an exclusive skill called Bomb Rush in Clash of Clans. This ability is exceptionally useful in inflicting more damage on an opponent's base and taking out its defenses more quickly.

Bomb Rush must be used wisely, as it also increases the copter's hitpoints. This can help it survive the first attack stage for bronze stars. As you upgrade the copter, the aforementioned ability also gets upgraded. This improves its damage per second and health recovery.

3) Use it against ground defenses

The Battle Copter is a flying machine and is very handy against ground resistance. This inclusion can be utilized to destroy ground defenses and then flush out enemy structures using its capabilities.

However, the copter doesn't perform well with air defenses around, and you should try to clear them out first to get more stars. To do that, you can use troops like Giants and Archers. This will make way for the battle copter to wreak havoc on the enemy base.

2) Upgrade the Battle Copter

Another great way to make the most of the Battle Copter in Clash of Clans is to upgrade it to higher levels. This will increase its Hitpoints and damage-dealing ability and also unlock Bomb Rush.

Bomb Rush helps the copter quickly rush towards the target building and throw a massive bomb at it. With this skill's damage-dealing and HP-restoring potential, combined with appropriate troops, you can win more battles. You can upgrade this machine with Builder Elixir up to level 35 to increase its hitpoints to 3,456.

1) Use it as cover for other troops

The Battle Copter comes with an enormous amount of hitpoints and can be used as cover for troops with low HP and increased damage, including Canons and Wizards. You can deploy the copter on the frontlines and then use your troops while most enemy defenses are engaged with that Hero Machine.

This way, it becomes easier to clear the first Builder Base and move to the other one to get silver stars and extra loot.
