Monolith is one of the most popular and powerful defenses in Clash of Clans.
Currently, there are four levels available for this defense.
It is quite common for players to forget about the upgrade cost of Monolith and their corresponding upgrade time.
To solve that issue, I've come up with this article!
In this article, I've listed the upgrade cost, and upgrade time of Monolith in Clash of Clans.
I've done all the math required so that you don't have to!
So, without any further ado, let's dive right into it!
Monolith Upgrade Cost and Upgrade Time in Clash of Clans
I've organized the entire data in a table.
Moreover, to make sure that everything is easy to read and understand, I've also written the data in text in an organized manner.
The following table displays the upgrade cost, and upgrade time of Monolith in the game:
| Monolith Level | Upgrade Cost (dark elixir) | Upgrade Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 200,000 | 7 days |
| 1 to 2 | 250,000 | 8 days |
| 2 to 3 | 260,000 | 9 days |
| 3 to 4 | 300,000 | 15 days 18 hours |
The data in the above table can be interpreted as:
- You'll require 200,000 dark elixir to build a level 1 Monolith. It will be built in 7 days.
- To upgrade a level 1 Monolith to level 2, you'll need 250,000 dark elixir. The upgrade gets completed in 8 days.
- Upgrading a level 2 Monolith to level 3 requires 260,000 dark elixir. And, the upgrade takes 9 days to complete.
- To max out your Monolith by upgrading it from level 3 to level 4, you will need 300,000 dark elixir and 15 days 18 hours of time!
Conclusion
In this article, I've listed the upgrade cost of Monolith along with the corresponding upgrade time.
I'll also update the data in this article if any numbers change in the game in the future.
Also, please note: I've updated the data in this post. The entire data in this post is up-to-date as of 2 October 2025.
Now, I'd like to hear from you:
Have you already maxed out the Monolith in your base? If not, what's the current level of the Monolith?
Or, you might have a question.
Either way, feel free to let me know by dropping down a comment below!
I've also written an article in which I've listed the upgrade cost along with the corresponding upgrade time of Inferno Tower in Clash of Clans. You can read it here.
