In the recent major update for **Clash of Clans**, Town Hall 17 (TH17) brought a plethora of new content, including exciting heroes, troops, and buildings. Alongside these additions, numerous quality-of-life improvements aim to enhance gameplay by consolidating functionalities into fewer buildings, thereby reducing clutter and confusion. One of the standout features is the introduction of the **Helpers Hut**, along with the **Apprentice Builder** and the **Lab Assistant**. Below we’ll discuss how you can access these valuable additions in **Clash of Clans**.
Acquiring the Helpers Hut in Clash of Clans
The Helpers Hut encompasses both the **Apprentice Builder** and the **Lab Assistant**. The Apprentice Builder was previously introduced prior to the TH17 update, and acts as a catalyst for speeding up ongoing building upgrades. You have the option to enhance the Apprentice Builder’s efficiency further, but doing so requires the expenditure of gems.
On the other hand, the Lab Assistant mirrors the functionality of the Apprentice Builder, specifically applied to research processes at your Laboratory. The speed of research advancement is contingent upon the Lab Assistant’s level, which can be incremented through gem investments. While obtaining a return on investment (ROI) for this gem expenditure may take over a year, it can be beneficial if you have long-term plans for your gameplay.
Upon logging into **Clash of Clans** for the first time after the TH17 update, players will find the Helpers Hut ready for placement under the “Unplaced Items” category, akin to how event rewards and cosmetics are organized. Simply position the Helpers Hut within your base, and you’ll be set. Moving forward, to utilize the Apprentice Builder for upgrades, you will tap on the Helpers Hut instead of the Town Hall, a similar process applies to the new Lab Assistant.
Unlocking the Lab Assistant in Clash of Clans
Curious about how to obtain the **Lab Assistant**? Much like the initial availability of the Apprentice Builder, the Lab Assistant will appear immediately in your Helpers Hut—provided you meet the required Town Hall level.
The Helpers Hut becomes accessible starting at **Town Hall level 9**, coinciding with the introduction of the Apprentice Builder. Once you ascend to **Town Hall level 10**, the Lab Assistant will become available to you. Notably, upgrading the Helpers Hut is unnecessary; simply reaching the stipulated Town Hall levels suffices.
For players with a Town Hall level exceeding 10, both the **Apprentice Builder** and **Lab Assistant** will be readily available at the time of the update, enhancing your gameplay immediately.
