About the Drop Ship in Clash of Clans Builder Base Troops
The Drop Ship is a Clash of Clans builder base troop, trained in the Builder Barracks. It can attack ground targets. Because it deals splash damage, the Drop Ship is strongest against groups of buildings and swarms of defending troops rather than a single tough target. Each Drop Ship costs 20 housing space in your army camps.
At level 1 it has 3,400 hitpoints, growing to 4,978 hitpoints once fully upgraded to level 20. Taking the Drop Ship all the way to level 20 costs roughly 35,200,000 Builder Elixir and about 46d 12h of upgrade time.
With a movement speed of 12 and a range of 0.5 tiles, the Drop Ship fits armies that need units that push into the base.
Drop Ship strengths and weaknesses
Strengths
- Its splash damage clears tight groups of buildings and swarms of defending troops in one hit.
- With the 4th highest hitpoints in the Builder Base Troops category, it can absorb a fair amount of damage.
Weaknesses
- It can only attack ground targets, so it offers nothing against air defences and needs support from units that can hit air.
- At 20 housing space it is expensive to field in numbers, so it is usually brought as a small core of an army.
