Data from the Clash of Clans Wiki Laboratory upgrade chart, checked on 28 October 2026.
Add Archer level 1 → 2 and Hog Rider level 1 → 2. The total is 20,000 Elixir, 2,000 Dark Elixir and 11 hours of Laboratory time: 1 hour for the Archer plus 10 hours for the Hog Rider, one after the other.
Turn on Gold Pass or Hammer Jam in the calculator above to see how the totals change.
On my TH18 account, MoonLight ID #9280QPL8G, I maxed Root Rider first, because it has been in my main army since Town Hall 16.
Dragon has 12 upgrades, level 1 to 13: 110,700,000 Elixir and 68 days 18 hours of Laboratory time without boosts. The last level alone, 12 → 13, costs 28,500,000 Elixir and takes 15 days.
A 20% Gold Pass cuts Dragon level 1 → 13 to 88,560,000 Elixir and 55 days. Add a 50% Hammer Jam and it drops to 44,280,000 Elixir and 27 days 12 hours.
Goblin is the cheapest Elixir troop: 42,845,000 Elixir and 24 days 17 hours. Apprentice Warden is the cheapest Dark Elixir troop: 385,000 Dark Elixir and 21 days 12 hours.
Yes. Add several troops to the research queue. The calculator adds their times one after another, the same way the Laboratory works.
No. Builder Potions only boost builders. Troop research uses Research Potions, which speed up the Laboratory for one hour.
No. The calculator covers the 32 permanent Home Village troops researched in the Laboratory. Event troops, Super Troops and Siege Machines are not included. For spells, use the spell upgrade calculator; for heroes, see the Barbarian King and Archer Queen pages.
