The “Shield” protects your village from outside attack for a set period of time. Attacking another village while your shield is still active breaks it, and this is something you want to avoid. Only attacking when your shield goes down — the game gives you a notification when there is 30 minutes left — maximises the time your collectors and mines can produce resources (for free) and reduces the risk of losing trophies. 

Clash of Clans allows users to purchase shield time, which makes it so other players can’t attack you. It’s a nice idea as features go, but there’s another way to get shields and while it’s a little less dignified you don’t have to pay in-game currency to get it. After you’ve taken a beating, the game throws up a shield for set amounts of time to aid in the recovery effort. Both kinds of shield go away if you decide to launch an attack on another player, and if you were just 100% wiped out by another player you probably don’t want to do that.
Pay attention to your shield time, and use that to adjust your village so you are able to defend better next time.
Whether your opponent is spamming your village with warriors or there’s a handful of giants smashing your walls, Mortar turrets are your best friend if you use them right. Every turret has a clear advantage and disadvantage, but the Mortar’s ability to deal area damage is a huge deal for everyone. Unfortunately, as is often the case with Mortars, there’s a minimum range they can shoot to avoid dealing damage to itself.

You need to put your Mortar in a place that defends as much of your village as possible, but in order to keep it safe you need to make that location difficult to get to. Use whatever you think is best, including walls, traps, and even other defense turrets. The longer you can keep the enemy in that white ring, the greater your chances of success will be.

in General, the players, attacking, chasing 2 different goals: some want to earn trophies (looking for weaker villages), the second resources. For the first time all together to do, but at high levels this will happen much less frequently. I do not advise to beginners (though I’m not a very experienced player) torn for cups. Choose the enemies from whom you can steal the loot (the available resources of the enemy indicated top left), which will improve their village. If you do not like the village of the enemy, choose another by clicking “Next”. For this service you have to “back off” a little money.

You Can go out of attack mode, pressing the “End Battle”. You will take nothing. Me in this case are satisfied, since we need cups, so I attack. By the way, units can only be run beyond the Redline. Beware! A variety of types of units allows to come up with a great number of tactics. Someone takes brute force, someone neat, someone from the air. Very interesting to come up with new tactics, looking at players from the clan.the Stats of the attack. I stole 23 thousands of gold and elixir + bonus and earned 13 trophies. In the background you can see what has become of the enemy village. Here he is upset when you log in and see this spectacle. Well, not for him to worry much, all of its buildings and the fence almost instantly regenerate and will give him a shield for 16 hours, during which time he will be hidden from the attacks of enemies, can work on my village and fix bugs.
