The latest update to Builder Base 2.0 in Clash of Clans has brought new features, leagues, and attack strategies to the game. One such attack strategy is the perfect attack that rewards players with six stars in a single attack. However, gaining loot and trophies are also essential to upgrade your village and push through the 12 new leagues added in the update.

Perfect Attack Strategy

| Attack strategy |
The perfect attack strategy involves gaining six stars in a single attack in Builder Base 2.0. To achieve this, players need to three-star both villages. The first stage that players can attack rewards up to three bronze stars. The perfect attack of three stars is earned from Builder Hall 6 and above. After this, players must attack the second village to gain three silver stars. Together, bronze and silver stars represent one star, and players can earn up to six stars per attack towards their star bonus.
Builder Base Leagues

The Builder Base 2.0 update comes with new leagues, and there are a total of twelve leagues in Builder Base. These leagues include Wood, Clay, Stone, Copper, Brass, Iron, Steel, Titanium, Platinum, Emerald, Ruby, and Diamond. The leagues start from Wood and end at Diamond.
Types of Stars in Builder Base

In the new update, bronze stars are awarded in the first stage of the attack, representing stages one through five. Silver stars are awarded in the second village, representing the perfect attack of three stars from Builder Hall 6 and above. The difference in colors is just for visual representation, and players can see if they gained four or five stars as the Bronze Star will be visible underneath.
Star Bonus

The star bonus varies in the amount of loot and stars required depending on the league you are in. The number of stars required to achieve the star bonus is indicated by the number seven on the attack button to the bottom left. The star bonus varies between seven and twelve stars required, depending on the league you are in. The higher the league and the more stars required, the higher the star bonus, which includes gold and elixir.
Star Bonus Reward

| Stone League Reward |
In the Stone League, the star bonus reward is 130,000 in Gold, 130,000 Elixir, and it requires seven stars. The information button will show that there are stars, attack, and defense under Stone League four rewards. If you get three stars on stage one, you will earn 22,500 gold. On the defensive side, if the attacker only gets zero stars, they give you 25,000 Elixir.

How to Gain Loot and Trophies
In the original Builder Base, players were limited to three loot attacks per day, and after that, the attacks were not rewarding. However, in the latest update, every attack rewards loot. After achieving the star bonus, players can continue attacking to gain loot. The amount of loot earned depends on the league you are in, but it is generous overall.

Multiplayer Battles
The head-to-head versus battles will be removed in this update, and it will be replaced with the new multiplayer battles. In multiplayer battles, your goal is to earn as many stars as possible to maximize both your loot rewards and earn more builder-based star bonus.
Defense and Offense
Every time you perform an attack, you're opening up your base to be attacked by another player. Essentially, it's a one for one swap. You do an attack, and you receive a defense. Attacking another Builder Base is how you earn Builder gold, while defending against attacks is how you earn Builder Elixir.
Elixir Cart

| Elixir Cart |
When you receive a defense from attacking players, any earned Builder Elixir will be placed in an Elixir cart found on the Builder Base. The Elixir cart can be found by the boat. The amount of Elixir you get on either an attack or defense is linked to the current league and trophy range that you're in.
Trophy Range
The user interface of the game shows the attack button on the far left, which has the number seven next to a star. This is the new multiplayer star system, and when you go into your leagues, you'll see that you have yourself in the 1100 trophy range, and it's highlighted in blue. That's how you know what trophy range or what league you're currently in.
The trophy system in the Builder Base is similar to the Legend League, and players gain loot from both attacking and defending. After every attack, your base is opened up to defense, and even if you are online, someone else may attack you. Once you finish an attack, you can go straight into another attack, and there is no more waiting for your opponent to deploy troops. You can attack as much as you want, and every attack rewards Builder gold. Defending, on the other hand, rewards Builder Elixir.
Impact of Update on Versus Battles
The update has removed versus battles and replaced them with a more fluid system where players can attack as much as they want. After every attack, your base is opened up to defense, and attacking and defending both reward loot. The amount of loot earned depends on the league you are in, and the more you move up, the more loot you can earn. The system is generous overall, and players can earn loot and trophies without worrying about losing them in attacks.
Bronze Stars vs Silver Stars - Changes to Bonus Loot & Leagues
 |
| Bronze Stars vs Silver Stars |
Major change made to Builder Base battles is how you earn Bonus Loot. Under the previous version of Builder Base, the amount of loot you could earn per day was limited by the 3-Win Builder Base Bonus. That reward system has been improved with a new Builder Base Star Bonus.
Builder Base now features two different Star types: Bronze and Silver Stars. Bronze Stars are earned by defeating Stage 1 of a multi-stage attack while Silver Stars are earned from defeating Stage 2.
Getting 100% destruction on Stage 1 will give you 3 Bronze Stars while getting 100% destruction on Stage 2 will give you 3 Silver Stars, up to a total of 200% destruction and 6 stars!
Completing your Builder Base Star Bonus will earn you more loot the higher your League level. However, the number of Stars required to earn your Builder Base Star Bonus will also depend on what League you are in and will vary between requiring 7 to 12 Stars to earn your Bonus loot. The higher your League, the more Bonus loot you will earn in the form of Builder Gold and Builder Elixir.
Let us look at a few examples.
- If you reach 58% destruction on Stage 1 and were able to destroy their Builder Hall, this would result in 2 Bronze Stars and would count as 2 Stars towards your Builder Base Star Bonus.
- If you were able to get 100% destruction on Stage 1 but fell short and got 10% on Stage 2 without destroying their Outpost, your total Stars would be 3 Bronze Stars and would count as 3 Stars towards your Builder Base Star Bonus.
- If you were able to get 100% destruction on Stage 1 and 58% on Stage 2, including destroying their Outpost, this would be 3 Bronze Stars and 2 Silver Stars for a total of 5 Stars towards your Star Bonus.
- Finally, if you were able to get 100% destruction on both Stage 1 and Stage 2, this would mean you will earn 3 Silver Stars for a total of 6 Stars towards your bonus.
One awesome thing about the new Builder Base Star Bonus system is while you will earn the most loot from your Star Bonus, you can still continue attacking and earning loot after you have completed your Star Bonus reward. You are no longer limited by the previous 3-Win Bonus for loot!
Changes to Builder Base Attacks & Trophies
Another major change to Builder Base attacks is the removal of head-to-head battles. With the new multiplayer battles, as mentioned earlier, your goal is to try and earn 3 Silver Stars to maximize your rewards as well as earning loot from your Builder Base Star Bonus.
Every time you perform an attack, your base is opened up to be attacked by another player - even while you are online! This means for every attack you perform, you will receive that many defenses as well.
Since loot is not stolen from other players during Builder Base battles, this allows you to store loot without having to worry about losing your hard earned Resources for an upgrade after defending from other attacking players.
Attacking another Builder Base is how you will earn Builder Gold, while defending against attacks will earn you Builder Elixir. This means it is not only important to build and upgrade your offensive capabilities, but also creating a strong defense is equally as rewarding! When you receive a defense from an attacking player, any earned Builder Elixir will be placed in an Elixir Cart found on your Builder Base. You will also be notified when a player is attacking you, even while you are still online! Therefore you can watch someone else attack your Builder Base live so you can determine where your Defenses need improvement.
As mentioned under the changes to Bonus Loot & Leagues, you can attack as often as you like - even after you have earned your Builder Base Star Bonus. Since Builder Base battles no longer happen head-to-head, you can perform your next attack as soon as your previous battle is done! No more waiting for your opponent to slowly drip Sneaky Archers!
Trophies are gained and lost by attacking and defending, respectively. You gain Trophies by attacking other Builder Bases. However, you will lose Trophies based on how successfully another player attacks your Builder Base. The net Trophy gain/loss results of your attacks is similar to the Legend League in your Home Village. Trophy changes are determined based on the number of Stars earned as well as the percentage of destruction achieved.
The number of Trophies gained/lost is based on your own Builder Hall's level. For attacking, the number of Trophies gained is dependent on the attacker's BH level while the defender will lose Trophies based on the defender's BH level.
