You should've seen his "Quest to the Top 200" series. I think his sponsors covered around $2000 or so. And even then, he was only in the Top 200 for like a day or so before he got pushed back down again.

edit: Then again, this guy is a lot more tolerable than the other channels who use unnecessary dubstep in the beginning

Also, I may have thrown my back out lifting this weekend. gently caress my life.

I applied with "stairs lol" in my application. I guess goons don't know the code word anymore. My IGN is FiveThirty.

Lots of people apply with some version of stairs in the app. There's a good chance when you applied the clan was full and we had to reject you. Unfortunately the game processes clan rejection as a ban to prevent spamming, and you get an angry rejection message.

\/\/ - They must just hate you then. Sucks dude.

For the DoUEvenLift clan, be aware that there are 2 clans with identical names. The capitalized one is the goon clan, the all lowercase one is not

Anyone care to comment on how much of a game changer heal spells are? I'm going to be getting both heal and upgraded giants this evening.

It makes attacking tougher bases more tolerable. Once you get used to using them, you will certainly notice not having the spells on hand. I'd even say without the heal spell you should arguably drop some trophies and attack bases with lovely walls.

Fact: The level of your walls directly correlates to how often you lose to bees (tier 1 swarm)

This is what I did to get from 900 to 1250 trophies at TH6.

10ish giants, 2 healers, 4-6 WBs, rest goblins and archers.

Find a base with decent resources and air defenses close to the edge. Drop a giant to take fire, send in WBs to expose the anti-air, drop the rest of the giants so they go for it first. Wait for AA to be down, then drop the healers to keep the giants up. Sprinkle in archers and goblins once the tank force is up and going.

Keep in mind you are putting aside 2/3 your troop space for tanking/healers/wallbreakers. Also factor in training time and army cost (TH6 army cost doesn't matter I saw 200/200 bases very frequently tbqh) L3 giants have huge issues on bases with crystal walls, their damage output is almost non existent.

Crystal walls have as much HP as a town hall of comparable level, meaning 3 L3 or 2 L4 wallbreakers.

I am at TH6 and I just hit next when I see crystal walls. Just doesn't seem worth it right now. I am just nailing targets with the anti-air near the edge. If my giant swarm is taking to much heat getting to them I will drop a heal spell, but I try and avoid using them.

Even at TH7, they slow your army considerably compared to the gold ones. Though if the right target presents itself sometimes you just can't push next :shepicide:

Don't skip crystal bases by default. Always, always, always check the resources and where they're located. I've scored plenty of crystal bases with 200/200k+ with empty storages in the center and unprotected collectors that could be sniped with 20 archers for 30 seconds of work.

Also, I get that you guys are proud of your clan and all and that's cool, but can you lay off the lifting meme stuff in here? Especially ones that are a cell phone picture of a monitor. We have standards, god drat it.

Figuratively if I were to upgrade my walls to LVL7 it would cost me millions upon millions.. Going to focus on wizard towers, they wreck poo poo at higher levels.

I might be giving out lvl 5 barbs soon so everyone can have barbs with little helmets. So suck it.

Level 7 towers are a grind but worth it. Reason being is it will now cost the attacker 2 wbs at any level. I only bring 5 WBs along so if I see big walls, I tend to skip if they aren't cherry picking bases.

We're not so much inactive as we are just a lot of newer players. There is a group of us in the clan that are on all the time- I'll probably boot inactives here soon.

Jesus Christ- probably because we keep smashing the sad pubbies, so our clan name is getting exposure.


You want to use something similar to your link above. The idea is to protect your gold storage and mortar as much as possible, ideally having compartments for them. You'll get some more freedom in base design at higher levels, you're kind of hosed at early levels with the lack of walls.

Also, protecting your town hall really doesn't matter. Trophies are literally worthless early (and arguably, they're worthless late too).

At some point an enterprising goon is probably going to create a clan specifically for the spergs who want to do nothing but trophy pushing, but right now I think there's only a few players like that in 500Dolla.

EDIT: Put the money down to get a 4th builder (Got 3rd before Sweet Victory achievement so it was only a $5 purchase) and it's very handy. Will probably shave a week or so off of upgrading everything (including walls) for my new TH6.

Nope! Your defenses and whatever troops have been donated to you in your clan castle are all that stand between you and ruin (losing some resources)
