I would be down for this type of war clan every once in a while (and obv when my BK and AQ aren't upgrading)

this is another tough match-up, harder than last war probably.

It did seem like we had lots of us hit lvl 3 right before last war, I'm with you

probably? it 100% is tougher

Way to search early, brah.

You really on about this still? The last was started at 1145AM PST. the war before that was 12pm PST. This was 1215pm PST. Like.I said already, blaming the search time on a tough matchup is just about as LOLOL as it gets, brah

Can't believe you screwed us this badly!

rng clearly rogged

Because im completely ******ed and tried to troll the other clan in the war and failed miserably can someonw invite me back cause im like 55 trophys short.

I know.... I know.

Who is this?

whats your sn over there?

Crystal 3 was 21k + 50 DE and now is 35k + 100 DE. New upgrade also added mortar and new trap Skeleton trap. Not sure how I like so far...new mortar may make attacks even harder.

Definitely huge improvements for defenses in a base with the 4th mortar plus skeleton traps.

Fortunately the majority of my attacks are trying to find full collectors, I actually just had my best attack ever after this update, finding a huge gem that I got a ton of loot off of:



Can't wait for the base designer tools to be updated so I can get to work really fleshing out these new additions

seems like Barch strat will get hit hardest

Possibly, it depends. My 220 army consists of:

80 Archers
80 Barbarians
32 Goblins
4 Wallbreakers
4 Giants

The majority of my raids I'm looking for full collectors in a base that is dormant, so I can easily snag 180-250K of each resource without much trouble.

But I have the giants, wallbreakers and goblins in the mix just in case someone has something decent in storages that I can hit as well, trying to keep it flexible.

So I don't think it will impact my farming style a ton, but will certainly impact players who need to push deep into a base to get at storages or for clan wars, etc.

As a th7 this pretty much kills my chances of two starring th8s in clan wars... actually the extra mortar will make it even harder to hit th8s with batch even if its just collectors.

Shouldn't you be trying to 3-star someone you can take, rather than hunting above your attack capability?

Pretty cool that you can see people's troop levels on their profile page

Because of my timezone, I often end up coming to war later than most and usually most of the bases I could 3 star are taken. Typically I get 1 3 star and my second attack I usually have to try get an extra star on a base way above mine for my second attack. Sometimes O can add a star anyway vs higher bases, but this makes it harder.

Take last war for example. My first attack I will was able to dragtard a base near my level for a clean up star and my second attack I managed to 2 star a much higher base that had previously been only 1 starred by lvl2 drags. But I only managed that because of my meticulous planning.

Ah gotcha. Well, a 4th mortar won't impact you if you're using dragons. And those little skeleton guys IF they are set to air shouldn't impact a massed dragon assault either.

Actually the attack I mention only worked because I used a very specific ground comp. Firstly I saw in scouting that about 4-5 structures were possibly at the edge of range for a single archer each to pick off for free, one of my archers had to be deployed twice it was that close. Also I had an exact amount of giants wbs and wizards with two rage and heal plus one healer because ad was just out of range from where most of my damage for the the pish was happening. I ended up getting 51% so the archers I deployed in exact spots proved crucial. The base must have been anti dragon because the previous attacker 1 stared with lvl2 drags and the attacker after me also 2 stared with lvl3 drags

But yeah, having said that I will mostly be using dragons now for war. Especially given I now have drag 2

Seems with the higher bonuses and new mortar/traps they are trying to put a bigger emphasis on winning rather than farming, which is good I suppose (even though all I do is farm). More war loot/castle loot capacity is nice too.

I use the exact same farming setup as you Max but at TH8. 72arch/70barb/4giant/4WB/30gob. Like having a bit of a toolbox. Also keep 3 lightning spells handy in case of juicy DE storage (scumbag move?).

I agree, like having a flexible force to use. I am actually keeping one of each spell at TH9 so I have that flexibility (it also keeps me from getting too crazy overspending or overrelying on specific spells and costing myself time and extra elixir)

Once you get the AQ and start leveling her up you'll find getting loot a ton easier, she is a beast and will make a huge difference in your raids. I just dropped the 50K DE to start her upgrade to lvl 10.

And it's funny you mention the lightning spells on DE, I had someone gank 1K of it from me today with three lightning spells so I revenge-attacked him and ganked 1800 back (plus a bunch of other loot on top of it) and he can't retaliate. So he helped me get closer to that 50K for my AQ

Revenge attacks are the best! I will keep 4 lightning spells ready for when I go after the big bases.
