Summary

Battle Machine is the first Hero unlocked in the Builder Base. It requires a level 5 Builder Hall and 900,000 Builder Elixir to repair.
The Battle Machine is a single-target melee unit that attacks by swinging its hammer to smash nearby buildings, who is created and controlled by the Master Builder .
It sits atop the Battle Machine Altar when not attacking.
Unlike the other Heroes, the Battle Machine will not defend, regardless of the status of the Master Builder.
At level 5, the Battle Machine unlocks the Electric Hammer ability. When used, it is momentarily stunned, regenerates some of its health and does increased damage for its next three attacks. This ability is improved every five levels. The ability has three levels of charge, depending on the duration the player waits to use the ability. Higher levels of charge increase the Electric Hammer's damage and health regeneration. When the Battle Machine is level 15 or above, charge levels 2 and 3 also enable the attacks to chain to other nearby targets, albeit with decreasing damage for every target hit. When deployed, the Battle Machine will start with the ability charged up to level 1. It takes about 40 seconds to charge up to level 3 from the moment the ability is activated.

When deployed, the Battle Machine will start with the ability charged up to level 1. It takes about 40 seconds to charge up to level 3 from the moment the ability is activated.
The Battle Machine can currently be upgraded to level 35.
The Battle Machine is coded to have a spring weight of 25 for the purposes of Push Traps and Spring Traps . However, it is immune to them regardless.
At level 15 and higher, its 2nd and 3rd tier of its ability additionally chains lightning between buildings.

Strategies

Use the Electric Hammer ability when the Battle Machine is next to high-hitpoint buildings or crowded areas to get more destruction. You can also use this strategy against high-damage buildings to prevent the threat from them staying up too long. Make sure not to activate Electric Hammer when the Battle Machine engages the Guard Post (unless you are in desperate need of health) as you will be wasting your damage on overkill. This ability is especially deadly against the Crushers , as it helps him withstand a lot of damage as well as take it out if it is all by itself. A Battle Machine going 1 on 1 against a relative level Crusher can take it out without using the ability.

The Battle Machine can tank for troops such as Sneaky Archers , while they do the damage behind.
The Battle Machine has no actual preferred target but you want to be wary with Crushers because the AI seems to prefer them. Before deploying him, try to destroy the Crushers (as it is weak against them) and all the buildings around the side so that it does not wander off to the sides.
If you have unlocked the Battle Machine's ability, if at level 15 and above, a good strategy is to deploy the Battle Machine from the edge of the base and let its ability charge go up to level 3. The Electric Hammer lasts until Battle Machine attack three times, but the ability gets stronger the more charge level it has. This means that the Battle Machine will be able to take down high-HP buildings and defenses (especially dangerous defenses such as Crushers and Double Cannons) faster the more charge level the ability has. When the Battle Machine is at level 15 and above, the ability can chain to other targets at charge levels 2 and 3. The Electric Hammer ability at charge level 3 can punish tightly packed defenses.

A good strategy with the Battle Machine is Boxer Giants and Cannon Carts. Deploy Boxer Giants to tank for troops, then deploy the Battle Machine. If there are no defenses in surrounding, place the Cannon Cart and set them to Mortar Mode to take down defenses such as Cannons , Double Cannons and Crushers. However, this can take a long time, and the Cannon Cart will be outranged by Multi Mortars , X-Bow (if set to ground mode), and Lava Launchers . In addition, if you are using a Night Witch -based attack, this saves them from Mega Mines and Hidden Teslas placed in the corner as well as mitigating damage for the Battle Machine if they do exist. If there is another building, do not trigger the ability before destroying the buildings, you'll need the damage bonus on more threatening buildings such as strong Walls .

Using the Electric Hammer at the end of the Battle Machine's swing (before the damage is done) is the most efficient. If you use the ability at that time, its auto-attack will be canceled but the next attack will be performed without the swing.
You can allow your troops to do damage to the base before sending in the Battle Machine to destroy the Builder Hall (if it has not been destroyed) and/or finish off the remainder of the base. An example would be using an all Baby Dragon attack with the Battle Machine; the Baby Dragons can destroy a large portion of the base and take out ground defenses threatening the Battle Machine before going for the remaining buildings. If using an all-air attack, be careful about sending in the Battle Machine with the rest of the troops, as ground defenses like Double Cannons will not be distracted by the rest of your troops and can quickly defeat the Battle Machine. Because of this, it is usually best to deploy it later into an attack to finish off the core or destroy outside buildings for extra damage percentage. However, if using Drop Ships , the Skeletons dropped from the Drop Ships may be able to distract ground defenses well enough to send in the Battle Machine to supplement the main attack without getting taken out too quickly.

Be careful to not put troops directly behind the Battle Machine as they can all be damaged at the same time by splash damage defenses and traps, such as Mega Mines and the Multi Mortar.
In higher Builder Hall levels, the Battle Machine is easily demolished by strong defenses such as the Mega Tesla , so try to use it as a tank and shield your main Army . This can help your Army on the back to help destroy the buildings without getting wiped out.

Defensive Strategies

Cannons , Double Cannons, and the Mega Tesla are great at doing a lot of damage to the Battle Machine from a distance. Put them behind Walls and distraction buildings to keep the Battle Machine from taking out these defenses.
Keep Crushers well defended so that ranged troops can’t easily take them out. They can do a lot of damage to the Battle Machine as well as Boxer Giants alongside the Battle Machine.
High-leveled Builder Walls can stall the Battle Machine for a very long time and may result in the Battle Machine getting taken out before entering the inside of the base.
Placing a Guard Post next to a Crusher can cause the Battle Machine to head towards an Archer and if the Archer is in range of a Crusher it can cripple if not destroy the Battle Machine and leave the Crusher slightly damaged if not intact due to the Battle Machine's A.I. retargeting to attack the Archer letting the Crusher destroy the Battle Machine. Barbarians can also help to distract the Battle Machine if a Guard Post is positioned next to strong defenses such as the Giant Cannon or Mega Tesla, as they have higher hitpoints than Archers and it will take a longer time for the Battle Machine to deal with them.

Battle Machine Skins

Prior to the Builder Base 2.0 update, the Battle Machine had upgrade differences. When rebuilt, the Battle Machine appears to be a wooden robot with metallic joints and support controlled by the Master Builder in its head. At level 10, a shoulder blade is added on its right shoulder. The hammer is also surrounded by a metallic ring from top to bottom. At level 20, the shoulder piece turns gold as does the hammer's ring. At level 26, the shoulder piece bolt nails have been replaced into a gear. On the side and the top of the hammer's rings, some metal has been added. At level 30, the Battle Machine's cockpit is surrounded by a glass dome that is reinforced with metal, with a golden antenna on top.

Trivia

The Battle Machine is found at the bottom right side of the player's Builder Base surrounded by Obstacles when broken. These obstacles cannot be removed it is until re-built. Even in the Builder Base 2.0 update, the appearance of the ruined Battle Machine Altar is still the same.

The hammer it wields could be a reference to Thor's hammer. In the description of the machine, it says it broke attempting to hoist the "realm's biggest hammer." Additionally, it also has an electric ability.
The Battle Machine's hammer is held in the left arm whenever it faces left during battle. Whenever the Battle Machine faces right, however, it is rendered in mirror image, and the hammer and shoulder piece are instead found on the right arm. This visual inconsistency was also true for the other Heroes (in the Home Village) before they were converted to 3D models.
The description before the rebuilding of the Battle Machine reads, "This massive machine broke attempting to hoist the realm's biggest hammer. With some repairs, it could be taken into battle!"
The Battle Machine seems to have a secret compartment when zoomed-in. Its own controls seem to be separate from those apparently controlled by the Master Builder.
When activating the Battle Machine's ability, it makes a similar sound effect like the Barbarian King 's when activating his ability, but with deep-pitched sound and some electrical sounds.
The Battle Machine's old death animation differs between the max level and lower levels. At lower levels, when defeated, the machine completely breaks apart to leave a stunned Master Builder where it falls. However, at level 30 when defeated, the machine simply remains intact but stunned for the remainder of the battle. This no longer applies after the Battle Machine was converted to a 3D model.
This no longer applies after the Battle Machine was converted to a 3D model.
If you look carefully at the control room of the Armored Machine skin, you can see the Master Builder in there.
Unlike other Heroes before Hero Skins, and with the exception of the Royal Champion , the Battle Machine has the most level upgrade differences.
Unlike the other Heroes, a Book of Building can be used on the Battle Machine, though only while it is being rebuilt.
The announcement of the Builder Hall 7 update originally planned the Battle Machine to only gain 5 new levels (up to level 15), but surprisingly, levels 16 to 20 were added as well.
Prior to the 3/30/2020 update, the Battle Machine had a regeneration time ranging from 3 to 6 minutes, which could be boosted with the Clock Tower.
There is a visual glitch where the Battle Machine's ability animation loops indefinitely (causing its hammer to be repeatedly struck by lightning) if the battle is ended while the ability is being triggered or is available. This loop continues until the player exits out of the battle or replay where this occurs. This does not apply in the current update, since the Battle Machine was converted into a 3D model, as it will raise his hammer only once each time.

The hero's name is labeled as 'warmachine' in the game's files.
The Battle Machine's upgrade cost always increases by 100,000 Builder Elixir , with the exceptions of levels 6 and 11, which increase the cost by 200,000 Builder Elixir.
