The quest for the sixth builder in Clash of Clans is a significant milestone for any dedicated player. Having that extra builder drastically reduces upgrade times, allowing you to progress through the game at an accelerated pace. However, unlocking this coveted asset isn’t as straightforward as purchasing more builders with gems. It involves a different strategy focused on your Builder Base and requires a level of commitment to both bases. Let’s delve into exactly what you need to get that sixth builder.
To unlock the 6th builder, you’ll primarily need to focus on your Builder Base and the O.T.T.O Hut. This is where the Master Builder resides, and by fulfilling specific requirements there, you will eventually send him to your Home Village. Here’s the breakdown:
-
Reach Builder Hall Level 9: The first and crucial step is to upgrade your Builder Hall to level 9. This unlocks the O.T.T.O Hut, which is key to obtaining your sixth builder.
-
Upgrade the O.T.T.O Hut to Level 5: Once you have the O.T.T.O Hut, you must diligently upgrade it to level 5. This process takes time and resources, so plan accordingly. The O.T.T.O Hut is essentially your Master Builder’s home in the Builder Base.
-
Upgrade One Builder Base Troop to Level 18: With the introduction of Builder Base 2.0, a secondary requirement was added. You must upgrade any builder-based troop to level 18. This needs to be done using the Builder Hall 9 star laboratory at level 9 along with two levels on the troop of your choice.
-
Send the Master Builder to Your Home Village: After the above steps are complete, return to your Builder Base. Select the O.T.T.O Hut and choose the “Travel” option. This action will send the Master Builder to your Home Village, where he will now act as your 6th builder.
It is vital to understand that this process does not create a new builder; instead, it relocates the Master Builder from your Builder Base to your Home Village. Meanwhile, the O.T.T.O robot, whom you unlocked by upgrading the hut, will remain in the Builder Base and handle all the upgrades there.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About the 6th Builder
What is the O.T.T.O Hut and why is it important?
The O.T.T.O Hut is a building in the Builder Base that serves as the Master Builder’s home. It’s critical because upgrading it to level 5 is the primary step in unlocking the 6th builder for your Home Village. It also unlocks the O.T.T.O robot who takes care of upgrades in the Builder Base after the Master Builder moves to the home village.
Does the 6th builder cost gems?
No, the 6th builder does not cost gems. The 6th builder is unlocked by upgrading the O.T.T.O Hut to level 5 and upgrading a builder base troop to level 18. However, additional builders in the home village (like the fifth) do cost gems.
Do I need to upgrade all my Builder Base buildings to get the 6th builder?
No, you don’t need to upgrade all your buildings in the Builder Base. You only need to reach Builder Hall level 9, upgrade the O.T.T.O Hut to level 5, and upgrade a single builder base troop to level 18.
What is the B.O.B Hut and how does it relate to the 6th builder?
The B.O.B’s Hut is a separate entity. It houses B.O.B, another robot invented by the Master Builder. Unlocking B.O.B requires upgrading the B.O.B Control to level 5, which, in turn, requires Town Hall level 10. B.O.B is an additional builder for your Home Village, and is different from the 6th builder obtained via the O.T.T.O Hut and the Master Builder.
Is it faster to get the 6th builder by rushing the Builder Base?
Yes, strategically rushing your Builder Base to reach Builder Hall level 9 quickly can be an effective approach to obtain the 6th builder faster. Focus on necessary buildings and upgrades, as opposed to maxing everything.
Can I have 3 builders in the Builder Base?
No, you can have only 2 permanent builders in the Builder Base. The O.T.T.O robot takes over the upgrades after you send your Master Builder to your Home Village.
What does O.T.T.O stand for in Clash of Clans?
O.T.T.O’s name is a humorous nod to his function. While not officially stated by Supercell, a staff member has shared some fun interpretations, including “Organizational Tidying Trimmer Organizer,” “Orbital Tedium Tending Orderly,” and “Outstanding Tolerable Tributary Oscillator.”
What is the difference between the Master Builder and B.O.B?
The Master Builder is your main builder in the Builder Base, who becomes your 6th builder in the Home Village after completing the O.T.T.O Hut requirements. B.O.B is an additional builder for the Home Village who is unlocked separately through the B.O.B’s hut. They both serve as builders, but are unlocked and operate in different ways.
Where can I find the Master Builder?
The Master Builder resides in the Builder Base. He lives in the Builder Hall instead of the Builder’s Huts, and once the O.T.T.O Hut is upgraded, he travels to your Home Village to serve as your 6th builder.
What should I upgrade first in the Builder Base?
Focus on upgrading your Builder Hall and the O.T.T.O Hut, followed by a single troop you wish to get to level 18. Prioritize resources that will help you achieve those goals.
What troop is easiest to get to level 18 in the Builder Base?
The easiest troop to get to level 18 will depend on your strategy and what troops you enjoy playing with. However, consider the cost, time to upgrade and which troops are viable for attacks at builder hall 9.
Should I upgrade the Mega Tesla in the Builder Base before getting the 6th builder?
Upgrading the Mega Tesla to level 9 is an indirect requirement, as this is what allows you to unlock the O.T.T.O Hut. Therefore, it’s part of the path to getting the 6th builder.
How does the Builder Base 2.0 rework affect getting the 6th builder?
The Builder Base 2.0 rework added the requirement of upgrading a builder-based troop to level 18, so it has made obtaining the 6th builder slightly more time consuming. However, the addition of the star laboratory and the additional loot makes it easier to progress in the Builder Base.
What should I do with gems after I have 5 builders and the 6th builder?
Once you have all six builders, consider using gems to speed up crucial upgrades, or for items such as hero books. Avoid using gems on resources, as that is not cost-effective.
Can I send the 6th builder back to the Builder Base if I want?
No, once the Master Builder moves to your Home Village as the 6th builder, he cannot return to the Builder Base. The O.T.T.O robot takes care of the builder base in his absence.
By following the steps outlined and understanding these FAQs, you’ll be well on your way to unlocking the coveted sixth builder in Clash of Clans, significantly boosting your progress in both bases! Remember that the journey to the 6th builder is a commitment to both the Builder Base and Home Village.
