For those who start playing Boom Beach, some effective and useful strategy guides will great to begin this game smoothly and wisely. In this game, you are tasked to defeat the blackguard, and level up. Want to level up quickly? If so, read the Boom Beach strategy for beginners.
- Only one builder, forever. You only get a single builder in Boom Beach. This is a frequently asked question so it belongs in this guide.
-No loot penalty or bonus. Unlike like Clash of Clans, there doesn’t exist loot penalty if you attack a player of a lower headquarter than you. So don’t feel that you have to level up every single building before you upgrade the HQ.
- Attack: Bomb multiple buildings with a single missile! The initial gunboat ability, the missile, has a small splash radius so it can damage buildings that are located right next to each other. Beginners tend to clump towers together, so look at the pic below to see where to target the missile to take out both towers! More detailed Boom Beach attack strategy can be found at our site!
- Resource Bases! Resource bases are islands that you can conquer that will provide wood, stone, or iron to your town via a boat. These bases are pretty cool in that you will be fighting for control of the base with another real player. Every time the base is taken over, the defenses will upgrade. Be sure to move the buildings on the resource bases to provide a good defense. Also, the trees on the resource bases can be chopped for wood, but only one time, so be the person to obtain that wood!
- Defense: Don’t clump your towers. Following the first tip, you can see that you want a small gap between all your towers to prevent the dual destruction. However, don’t spread the towers all over the base or the enemy will just use flares to direct his/her army around your towers. Clump them near the HQ but leave that small gap to prevent splash.
- Chop down trees for wood. For the early levels, you will likely have excess gold and you will have a severe lack of wood. If you tap on a tree, you can spend gold to remove the tree and obtain wood. Bigger trees will require that you are a higher level, but many trees can be chopped down immediately.
- Use flares to direct your army. Flares are the second gunboat ability and are unlocked at HQ 03. While the flare is burning, your troops will head to the flare OR if you placed the flare on a building, your troops will focus on that building.
- Get the HQ to level 03 quickly. I recommend after getting your basic buildings created, to get the HQ to level 03 in order to unlock Flares. Until you have Flares you have no control during an attack. You can get the most useful Boom Beach guide if you head over to our site!
- Upgrade the Radar. First, you have to upgrade it so you can explore more of the map and find more islands to raid. Second, unlocking the map costs gold so this is a good way early on to have a gold sink so you don’t waste any gold.
- Conquered islands produce gold. Every island that you own will provide a certain amount of gold per hour to your town via a boat. The gold on this boat cannot be raided by other players, so you can let it build up if you need to.
- You can Retreat troops to save them. Unlike Clash of Clans, troops that do not die can be used again! If you determine your attack will fail, retreat the troops to fight another day and save gold on reinforcement costs.
- Upgrade the Vault. The vault guards resources from being stolen. The vault protects a certain amount of resources and then a percentage of remaining resources. In the pic below it says this vault will protect 14,000 gold, 9,000 wood, PLUS 40% of whatever is over those values for each resource. Keep the vault upgraded.

- Upgrade to HQ 07. First, as you progress to HQ 07, you will unlock the looting of two more resources: crystals and stone. Raids that didn’t show these resources as available will now show them, so you are missing out on all those raids you do before you can loot stone and crystals. Second, you will unlock more landing ships and many more defensive towers. Obtaining those cannons, machine guns, and mortars will help you tremendously. It’s rough early when half of your towers are taken out by the gunboat.
