Yup, serious business there.

You will be 3-starred every time, probably until TH7.

Came off a little more serious than intended. I realize I can't put up much in the way of defenses but I was just looking for a little more detailed answer so I at least gave myself the best chance. Thanks everyone!

You'd be surprised how many attacks some of the more terrible clans take to destroy the better prepared th5s in our past wars.

There was that one clan that imploded from 40 members to 10 after going up against us.

spergs of war is the best.

In the first age, in the first battle, when the shadows first lengthened, one sat.

He chose the path of perpetual contentment.

The best clan war defense you can do at TH5 is a protected town hall, clan castle, and air defense.

90%+ of your defense will be from the wizards your clan donates.

Would someone please share a solid clan war layout for TH 5, especially if you are part of Spergs of War? Thanks!

As others have already stated, really your best chance is having an idiot blow their load on you and get decimated by CC troops. Outside of that you're very well screwed. But if you're really set on having a clan war specific TH5 base, here's one I whipped up real fast:

This is my set up. Works OK, I got 3-stared of course, but it was with an expensive army. Dragons or Hogs. Which I find hilarious. I just followed the logic mentioned above, and tried to make my CC as hard to pull as possible.

Pretty much this is what happens every war with my wife's base. If the opponent pulls the CC troops properly it's probably getting 3 starred and the layout isn't going to save her from that. TH6 gives you some better options for defense but its nothing substantial like you get at TH7.

Edit: there's obvious things like make sure your TH is protected and that your CC is behind a few layers if you can, and don't try to use the edge of the map as a wall. Outside of that though there's not really a must-use design for that low of level.

It does kind of matter for clan wars actually.

Put the clan castle in the middle, it's the most powerful item you have. Try to make it as unlurable as possible, use your buildings to push back the spawn area as much as possible.

Anyone saying "you will be 3-starred every time" has never seen a CC of L6 wizards not get lured and lead to a 5% defense. I have, a lot. Your best weapon is that their newbies will be attacking you, and if they don't lure properly they will never beat your CC.

So Boom Beach is out today, anybody tried it yet?

I've played for about an hour and seems a little slower paced so far. You can only build 1 thing at a time, but that might just be because I'm only level 3.

I've not got to raid anyone yet either ;[

I think I'm like the only guy here who enjoys Boom Beach. It is the chillest CoC-type app out there.

I sincerely wish they take the Warrior troop, the Valkyrie equivalent to CoC, in that game and incorporate the self-healing trait into the CoC Valkyrie itself (as in, every time they damage a building they regenerate health), because that's probably the only thing that could make the Valkyrie useful at this point.

I see a lot of people that after many moons still horribly fail at or don't even try to lure the CC in wars. Would anyone here benefit from a quick best practices visual guide on luring clanholes? I kind of figure the people that could use it don't read the forums.

No, we don't have any clans. If we did we would surely have mentioned them in the OP.

I agree, it's pretty laid back and has some great concepts I wish were in Clash. The Warrior heal thing definitely, but also I like the target mechanic for finding bases to raid, and the 'spell' implementation/variety of your boat.

This really furthers the point that there is no great layout you have to use at TH5. Just don't do obviously stupid things with your layout and you've done the best you can, if they can pull your CC troops successfully it's probably a 3 star.

I'm pretty sure this is the issue. It's really infuriating to lose a CW, look through the logs and see a massive amount of 0 star attacks, simply because of failing to lure the CC. Seems like the people that fail to lure the CC, even after being told repeatedly, "Hey, quit loving up and lure the CC first," still do it every single CW. It's a simple concept, yet a lot of people have a hard time following it.

My many CoX, always poised, always ready, always willing to thrust.

I'm using single troops to bait the CC troops out by themselves and then demolishing them with a lightning spell. This is what I should be doing, right?

If so, I get that concept at least, but I am still dogshit at attacking and static defenses ruin me. :smith: I'm TH6 at the moment, so I don't have hogs/dragons to ruin defenses. I really want to get to 7, but all of my walls are gold and I need to upgrade a lot of my own static defenses first. Troop/spell upgrades are done at least.

That's one way to do it, but it will fail against a dragon, giants, or sometimes against wizards. It's better to use your archers to pull them all the way out, then surround them with barb/arch/wiz depending on your army comp.

Oh, what a day...
What a lovely day!
I lure them away from the base, and drop some Barbarians to tank and ring them with archers. Maybe drop my CC too depending on what is inside. The barch troops will kill them quickly and then go on to attack the base. I only have lighting atm; I use that to soften the defenses where my mass of troops are going to hit, trying to get the mortar and wiz tower if I can.

Not that I'm an expert, but I can 3* an equal level base (TH5) with this. From watching replays from my clan I can see it gets even more important with heroes and high level bases.

I just hit TH6, lots or upgrading and research to do. I am looking forward to using Giants and Healers. Until then barch still packs a lot of punch for the cost if deployed intelligently.

I don't think you can link across them without having both logged in (as the iOS version doesn't use Google+), so if you don't have an android device any more, you might want to use the just-mentioned Bluestacks to log into your android account and generate the link code.
