OK so I guess I can't donate to the war until it restarts, but :bahgawd: I'm gonna donate a poo poo ton of L5 archers to whoever asks

taste the archers aatrek

tomorrow I'm just gonna manufacture nothing but L5 wizards to give away because a TH3-6 with some mean wizards and archers in their back pocket is hilarious

Is it better to barch for DE or to actually launch a tactical attack? I feel like I gotta pass by a lot of high DE targets because I can't really penetrate the center with barching.

What trophy range are you? I pass some TH9s and a good amount of TH10s because I feel like there's no shortage of decently easy targets with 1k+ DE at 1800 trophy range.

I barch for gold (full collectors), and roll with 2 lightning spells if the DE storage is in the middle of the base.

Depends on your TH/troop levels. If you're TH7/8 it's probably best to get it through barch/easy storages and skip the ones guarded by discos/xbows. If you have access to top level troops, I was able to make 20-30k DE/day using bloonion in crystal league.

Bloonion is really good past gold i. Great for DE, ok for gold, bad for elixer.

I guess I just gotta be patient and keep hitting next. I was in the 1250 range, but I dropped due to 1130 due to farming. I'm TH7. It just sucks right now because I am upgrading my spell factory then going to war. Tomorrow will be a better day.

Go to around 1300-1500, stick to gold III and you will find everything.

For example if you are going from Wizard Tower 3 -> 4 in your war base it's considered a 3 for the purpose of clan wars.

Adding to this, if you're building a level 1 building, it'll be as if it's finished in your war base.

Adding to this, if it's an x-bow or (probably)an inferno tower, your unfinished building cannot be changed from the default mode (ground only for x-bow). It changes in the layout editor, but reverts when you exit.

This confused the gently caress out of me when I got dragonned two wars in a row and they would never fire at them.

No, the one I've been posting replays of is useless and the replays are the product of months of toiling in adobe after effects. They never happened.

Haven't seen a layout of your base posted (just the small .gifs or screenshots of defense logs) since 22 July, which is notably before the below post. Share your secrets butthole master.

I too enjoy spending nearly 1 million elixir on dragons and spells for wars and hoping the down's syndrome troops that are dragons manage to blindly stumble upon the townhall and air defenses. :downswords:

You can't run with pure dragons. Gotta use your BK and like 40 archers + CC to clear out the exterior buildings on one side so your drags have a straight shot to the middle of the base.

BK is often enough, if he isn't, BK + CC is by far enough, no need to sacrifice 2 dragons for 40 archers.

Yeah I had pretty good success last night with 15 archers and 5 cc wizards clearing a path for my 9 dragons. Spell placement is also pretty huge.

Thats a nice Game 7 you have there. Would be a shame if somebody nailed it down.
I stick by 3x lightning on an AD with all L3 dragons. The BK usually cleans up some trash on the exterior and the dragons typically move in from there. 2 stars is still perfectly acceptable when you're hitting guys higher placed on the war map than yourself. We've been getting matched up with scrublords doing 30's but it's at least allowed our lower people to TH snipe and what not to ease the resource costs. At least this clan probably understands the junk we talk in the description.

Most clans we meet had 2,5+ star per base on us, so 2 wouldn't really cut it. We're against idiots now though, who barely have 1,5 star per base.

3x lighting seems like a waste. You can funnel dragons towards the middle, then rage/heal them to the meat.

3x lightning owns. If you are attacking th8s that dont have 3 L6 ADs its pretty much a guaranteed 3 star.

Oh, what a day...
What a lovely day!
I just used level 1 dragons for the first time in war, all trained from a single barrack. Heh. 20 archers, 9 dragons, BK, and a CC full of 5* wizards with 2 rage and a heal. Got 3 stars on both my attacks against other TH7s. Feels good, man. Expensive, but a lot of fun watching them roll around the base.

In the previous war I had two 2* attacks with giants and archers (garch?)

Something odd happened on my second attack. He had a mini-butthole that was close to the CC so I dropped an archer in it to lure the troops. Some popped out, and I tried to draw them into a corner by dropping an archer next to a builder hut. They came, but the pull seemed light. I dropped a few more archers in CC range, but nothing came out. So I circled the pulled group with my remaining archers and dropped my CC and BK. Thats when the other half of the defender's CC spilled out, including wizards. I recovered by dropping a rage spell and my dragons. Luckily my BK tanked the brunt of their attack and my dragons burned them. Very strange though.

Yeah they made it harder to lure CC troops with the patch. You need something like 3 hogs to lure them out. You should just keep placing troops in the bhole until they are all out. A giant or dragon would do the trick too.
