Crusher



"The Crusher REALLY likes its personal space. This hulking stone slams ground units with a mighty wallop!"


 * Summary
 * The Crusher is a defense unlocked at Builder Hall level 3.
 * Every few seconds, the Crusher slams down, doing heavy damage to all ground units in its radius.
 * The range of the Crusher is short and thus it excels against short-range troops such as Raged Barbarians but will be outranged by long-range troops such as the Sneaky Archer.
 * The Crusher cannot attack air troops, such as the Beta Minion and Baby Dragon.


 * Strategy
 * Keeping the Crusher centered in the Builder Base helps protect it from ranged troops.
 * Use Push Traps to push ranged units into the Crusher.
 * The Battle Machine can take out the Crusher before it does massive damage to units.
 * Use air troops to take down the Crusher if using a swarm attack. This is only for unprotected Crushers - watch out for Firecrackers and Air Bombs!
 * You can use an opening in your village to lure ground troops and use push traps to push them in to the Crusher.


 * Upgrade Differences
 * At level 1, the Crusher looks like a mossy stone attached to a large screw.
 * At level 2, the stone has wooden planks attached to its sides. The bolt at the top turns into metal one.
 * At level 3, the planks are replaced with ropes and the moss is gone. Some stones appear around the crushing platform.
 * At level 4, the ropes are replaced with metal beams.
 * At level 5, the stones get bigger, the bolt is gold now and some more stones are around the platform.
 * At level 6, the metal beams are now gold, and the crushing stone is slightly darker.


 * History
 * The Crusher was added on 22/5/2017.
 * Supercell were going to add a 2nd Crusher to Builder Hall level 7, but then they decided to add it at Builder Hall level 6.


 * Trivia
 * The Crusher is the only defensive building (from both bases) that doesn't shoot any kind of projectiles.
