Mastering Coin Master: A Comprehensive Guide to Raids, Spins, and Village Building

Coin Master is a wildly popular mobile game that blends elements of chance, strategy, and social interaction. At its core, it’s about building and upgrading your village while raiding and battling other players. This guide will walk you through the fundamentals of Coin Master, providing detailed instructions and tips to help you master the game.

Understanding the Basics

The primary goal in Coin Master is to build and upgrade your village. Each village is comprised of various structures, and you need coins to construct and improve them. Coins are primarily earned through the game’s slot machine, which also awards other valuable items. Let’s break down the core components:

1. Spins (The Slot Machine)

The slot machine is the heart of Coin Master. You spin it to earn:

• Coins: Used to build and upgrade your village.
• Shields: Protect your village from attacks.
• Hammers (Raids): Allows you to raid another player’s village.
• Pigs (Attacks): Lets you attack another player’s village.
• Spin Energy: Can give you more spins or other items.

You start with a limited number of spins, which automatically regenerate over time (5 spins per hour). You can also earn free spins through:

• Daily links: Coin Master often posts free spin links on their social media pages.
• In-game events: Participate in events to earn rewards, including spins.
• Leveling up: Completing a village will often reward you with a large number of spins.
• Gifts from friends: Your friends can send you free spins, and you can send them some back.
• Ads: Sometimes, watching ads will give you extra spins.

2. Building Your Village

Each village consists of several structures. You’ll need to spend coins to build each structure. Once a structure is built, you can then upgrade it for more coins. Completing a village is necessary to progress to the next one. Focus on completing one village before starting another to progress smoothly. Try to upgrade the structures one by one instead of building all of them and then upgrading them. This way you have better chances to make use of shields when others attack your village.

3. Attacking Other Players

When you land on the pig symbol in the slot machine, you have the option to attack a random player’s village. When attacking a village, you will hit one of five buildings, destroying or damaging part of it. You earn coins and stars for each attack. The amount of coins earned depends on how high the building level is. If the targeted player have an active shield, no coins will be earned.

4. Raiding Other Players

When you land on the hammer symbol on the slot machine you can raid another player. During a raid you are randomly presented with four spots to dig into. One spot contains a lot of coins, while the others may contain little or none. The coins you steal are deducted from the raided player. The raided player may loose more coins if you have a high level pet active (see the pets section for more info).

5. Shielding Your Village

Landing on the shield symbol in the slot machine will award you with a shield. You can have up to three shields active at a time. An attack will fail against a shielded building. If attacked while shielded, the shield is removed and the building remains intact. Shields are vital to protecting your progress.

6. Card Collecting

As you raid and battle, you’ll collect cards. These cards make up sets, and completing a set earns you big rewards such as spins, coins and pets. Keep an eye out for card trading groups on social media to quickly complete your sets.

7. Pets

Coin Master allows you to collect pets that help you out in the game. Foxy will give you more coins from raids, Tiger will give you more coins during attacks, and Rhino will protect your village from attacks. Each pet has a level that can be increased by using treats that you earn in-game.

Tips for Success

• Join a Team: Joining a team allows you to send free spins and cards to your teammates as well as asking for free spins and cards.
• Play Regularly: Consistent play allows you to maximize your spin regeneration and complete daily tasks.
• Join Social Media Communities: The official Coin Master communities are often the best place to find free spin links and other tips.
• Plan your upgrades: Try to have as many shields as possible when you upgrade your buildings. Otherwise the buildings might get destroyed before you have a chance to upgrade them.
• Save your coins: Don’t spend all your coins just because you have them. Save up some to upgrade your buildings to higher levels.
• Be Strategic: Don’t just blindly attack or raid. Target those who have more coins or are close to completing their village.
• Be Patient: Coin Master is a game of chance. Sometimes you’ll hit a bad streak, but patience will pay off!

Conclusion

Coin Master is an entertaining game that requires a balance of luck and strategy. By understanding the basics, utilizing available resources, and employing a few smart tactics, you can build your village into an empire, raid your friends, and become the ultimate Coin Master!
