Non-Combatants

Non-Combatants are the people in your village/base that are citizens and workers.

As suggested by their name, they do not fight (though the Master Builder appears to ride in the Battle Machine, and Builders do take up roles in defense when the Builder's Hut is upgraded).

• Villagers: They aimlessly wander around your village and clap in front of and apparently worship obstacles and/or buildings. During the tutorials, a Villager guides you through and helps you during the initial moments as a Clash of Clans player and when a player gets his/her Builder Base. Their graphic is a woman with a dress and brown belt around their waist.
• Builders: They help you start constructions and upgrades in the Home Village. They live in Builder's Huts when not working on a construction or upgrading something. Their graphic is a man with a hunched back, brown clothes and a hammer/mallet for building or upgrading.
• Builder's Apprentice: He helps speed up the upgrade of the assigned building in the Home Village for one hour, after that he sleeps for 22h. Upgrading him will increase the number of hours saved, with a maximum of 8 hours. His graphic is like the Builder, but with a brighter red vest with a pocket in front like a work apron, brown pants without a belt and shoes, and the hat has a stitch.
• Master Builder: He helps you start constructions and upgrades in the Builder Base. He lives in the Builder Hall when not working on a construction or upgrade. He appears to be a man with orange hair and beard and brown overalls.
• Grand Builder: He is an old man who guides you during the initial moments of the Clan Capital. He can be assigned to multiple upgrades across various districts.
• Strongman: He is the man who helps and guides you through the Clan Games, and he also owns the caravan, which alerts you when the games are coming.
• O.T.T.O: An invention of the Master Builder, it replaces the Master Builder as permanent builder in the Builder Base once the O.T.T.O Hut is fully upgraded.
  • However, this was later changed to become the second permanent Builder for the Builder Base after the Builder Base 2.0 update, once the player reaches Builder Hall 6.
• B.O.B: Another invention of the Master Builder which serves as the sixth Builder in the Home Village after his B.O.B Control is fully upgraded, and lives in the B.O.B's Hut when not upgrading anything.
• Trader: He sells Magic Items for Raid Medals once the player reaches Town Hall 6, and Gems once the player has reached Town Hall 8 in the Home Village.
• Goblin Workers: A duo of Goblins with Gem-shaped eyes who can only be assigned if all of the Builders are busy doing an upgrade, and/or something is upgrading in the Laboratory, which requires you Gems to start the additional upgrade.
• Goblin King: An NPC who threatens the player during the early game tutorial. He is supposedly the one behind the Single Player Campaign. He is the main antagonist of the game.

Most non-combatants run into your Town Hall or Builder Hall when an attack starts, even if the Town Hall/Builder Hall is the first building to be attacked. Exceptions include Builders corresponding to their weaponised Builder's Huts, and the Strongman and Trader (who only appear on the side of the Home Village outside of battle).
