Here are a few tips to use this unit:

• Prioritize hero upgrades: Every Hero in Clash of Clans possesses impressive health and high damage output, making them the leaders of every strategy. However, upgrading them requires significant time investment. Thus, players should assign the Builder's Apprentice to complete these tasks quickly.
• Daily Usage: The Builder's Apprentice can only work for one hour daily with a 23-hour cooldown. Players should keep an eye on ongoing tasks to ensure that the Builder's Apprentice is assigned to the most critical upgrades in the game.
• Coordinate with other builders: The Builder's Apprentice can only assist the regular builder and cannot work on its own. Thus, players need to effectively utilize their regular builder on important upgrades, avoiding low-priority tasks.
