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.
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.
History
The Crusher was added on 22/5/2017.
Trivia
The Crusher is the only defensive building (from both bases) that doesn't shoot any kind of projectiles.
