TH3 Progression Plan

Practical, offense-first guidance

The objective at this level

Start continuous research and build around splash defense

Town Hall 3 introduces the Laboratory, Mortar, and Bomb. The Laboratory creates a second progression clock that runs separately from builders, so idle research now represents lost progress. The Mortar also punishes clustered ground troops, giving your base its first major splash-defense anchor.

Written by Patrick Nguyen. Reviewed against ClashVault dataset v1.2.0. This sequence is a flexible default: keep upgrades that improve your regular army ahead of optional defensive polish.

Priority 1

Laboratory

Build it early and keep research running. Builder upgrades and troop research progress in parallel, so delaying the Laboratory cannot be recovered by assigning another builder later.

Priority 2

Army Camp and Barracks

Capacity and troop access make the newly researched levels useful in real attacks instead of leaving upgrades stranded in the Laboratory.

Priority 3

Mortar

Its splash damage covers groups of ground troops. Place it behind other buildings so attackers cannot remove it immediately from the edge.

Suggested builder sequence

  1. Build the Laboratory first and start research for a troop used in your regular army.
  2. Upgrade Army Camp and Barracks while that research timer runs.
  3. Improve the Clan Castle and storages when capacity is needed for the next offensive upgrade.
  4. Place the Mortar centrally, then upgrade the Archer Tower and Cannon around its coverage.
  5. Finish traps, collectors, and walls while the Laboratory remains continuously occupied.

Ready to advance when

  • The Laboratory has no avoidable idle time and your core army has received research.
  • Army Camp and Barracks are at their TH3 ceilings.
  • The Mortar is not exposed on the outer edge of the layout.
  • Storages can hold the cost of the first upgrades planned for TH4.

Data Methodology

Dataset v1.2.0

What these levels mean

Each number is the highest level that entity can reach while your Home Village is Town Hall 3. It is a reference ceiling, not an upgrade-priority ranking or a snapshot of one player’s base.

How we maintain the dataset

ClashVault maps entity IDs from real player exports, then checks level caps against update notes, in-game observations, and established community references. The current dataset was reviewed on .
