When scouting for loot before Hammer Jam, look for several signs of inactivity rather than treating any one clue as proof. Check the collectors, hero altars, and base for uncollected tombstones or obstacles before deciding whether to attack.

Signs to check

  • Gold mines and Elixir collectors: Overflowing collectors may indicate that the player has not collected resources recently.
  • Hero altars: Empty altars can be another sign of inactivity.
  • Tombstones and obstacles: Uncollected tombstones or uncleared obstacles may also suggest that a base has been inactive.

These are clues, not guarantees. Check the base as a whole, and use what you see to decide whether to scout further or choose another target.
