Builder Hall 3 (BH3 max) in Clash of Clans is a very early stage in the Builder Base, focusing on introducing foundational defenses and expanding your initial troop options. At this level, you gain a Multi Mortar, a powerful splash defense, and unlock the Bomber troop.
With the “Builder Base 2.0” update, even BH3 operates with a two-stage attack system, meaning early strategic thinking is important for both offense and defense.
Maxing out BH3 means upgrading all your available defenses and troops to their highest possible levels for this Builder Hall.

Summary for BH3 Max
The BH3 max design is still quite simple, but the addition of the Multi Mortar gives it a bit more defensive bite. This stage is all about establishing a strong foundation, learning basic attack strategies, and preparing for the more complex base layouts and troops that come with higher Builder Hall levels.
Key Defensive Structures & Levels:
- Multi Mortar: New at BH3, this defense deals splash damage over a wide area and is your primary defense against grouped ground troops. Maxes around level 3.
- Crusher: Maxes around level 3. This single-target, high-damage defense is brutal against high-HP ground troops.
- Hidden Teslas: Maxes around level 3.
- Double Cannons: Maxes around level 3.
- Archer Towers: Maxes around level 3.
- Cannons: Maxes around level 4.
- Walls: Reach level 3. All available wall segments need to be upgraded.
- Push Traps: Maxes around level 3.
- Bombs: Maxes around level 3.
Heroes & Their Max Levels at BH3:
- Battle Machine: The Battle Machine is not unlocked at BH3; it becomes available at BH5.
Troops & Their Max Levels at BH3: Troop options are still limited at BH3, but the Bomber adds a crucial element for breaking walls. Max levels for troops at BH3 typically include:
- Raged Barbarian: Maxes around level 6.
- Sneaky Archer: Maxes around level 6.
- Boxer Giant: Maxes around level 6.
- Beta Minion: Maxes around level 6.
- Bomber: New at BH3, maxes around level 6. This troop deals splash damage and focuses on walls.
Other Important Upgrades:
- Star Laboratory: Maxes around level 3, allowing for troop upgrades.
- Builder Barracks: Maxes around level 5 to unlock the Bomber.
- Army Camps: You will have 2 Army Camps at BH3, providing a good number of troops for your attacks.
- Resource Buildings: Gold Mine, Elixir Collector, Gold Storage, and Elixir Storage should be upgraded to their max levels (around level 6) to ensure you have enough resources for upgrades.
Upgrade Time & Cost: Maxing BH3 is very quick, often taking only a few days to a week of active play. The total Builder Gold and Builder Elixir required are in the hundreds of thousands. Consistent attacking to earn stars is the fastest way to gather resources at this stage.
