I find that if you're trying to drop trophies, you might as well try to get some resources out of it. A lot of times you can get 5-20k gold/elixir (or more) from 10 archers sniping exposed pumps, etc.

Any good strategies when going up against TH 7 and 8 bases? I've been doing: 16 giants 40 goblins 6 WB 4 wizards 52 archers + whatever I have in the clan castle (mostly archers and wizards, but every now and again a dragon). Sometimes this works out really well, and others, I end up failing completely. I try to avoid TH 8 bases unless they are spectacularly bad/have their AA under construction just because I don't see how I can get through.

Nauta posted:I raid fairly successfully with 14 giants, 5 wbs, 50 goblins and 70 archers but they're all lvl 5 so your mileage may vary. My setup is poor against strong high-end defenses so I have to cherry pick some but it's a relatively cheap and quick setup to train. I tried that bee thingy but in my opinion giants are way better at tying down your enemy's defenses than barbs. At TH 7, I do something similar: 16 giants (lvl 4), 2 healers (lvl 2), 8 wbs (lvl 4), 1 dragon (lvl 2), 30 goblins and 25 archers (both lvl 4). Assuming my dragon doesn't go off and attack side buildings, it's been working pretty well. Total Confusion fucked around with this message at 19:18 on Mar 18, 2014 |

I am trying to 100% upgrade everything before I upgrade to TH8. At this point, I just have one or two collectors, walls and a barb king to upgrade/build. In my quest for DE, is it a good idea to just find bases with lots of DE and then use 2-3 lightning spells to get the DE instead of trying to fight my way through the base to the storage?

RCarr posted:It's not possible to get a shield AND get trophies while on defense. It's one or the other. I thought that if they didn't get your town hall, but did destroy 40% of your base, that you got a shield and the trophies because the attacker didn't do anything to get any stars.

Speaking of Barb Kings, if I'm at TH 7, is it a better use of my hard-stolen DE to upgrade the BK to level 2 or Minions to lvl 2? Also, I have nothing left to spend elixir on at the moment and since I only have time to do 2 or 3 attacks a day, I just go for 8-10 dragon armies. It's so wasteful but works pretty well.

I got to 10k DE @TH 7 by using a lot of lightning spells and doing attacks with 10 dragons on TH 8/9 bases. (Obviously it was almost the last thing I did @TH 7 as it "wastes" a ton of elixir). I got the next 12.5k of DE at TH 7 by doing pretty much only all dragon attacks on people with 500-1,000 DE. Clan wars also helped. I was also able to get to the crystal league and claim the gem reward this way too. Now I'm at TH 8 and I'm a little worried I've forgotten how to win battles without spending 250k+ on my army ixo posted:TH8: Are there some missing wall segments in this design?

Saw this in the "Tell Us Stories About People Bad With Money:"Sokani posted:I have a buddy who's never been very responsible. He's coming up on 25 and has always lived with his mom, has a tough time holding down a job because he randomly decides to miss shifts, and was recently caught stealing money from another friend. He complains constantly that he doesn't have enough money, he wants to move out on his own, can't afford gas to get to work, etc. I recently found out after talking to his drug dealer (another big drain on his account) that he's spent ~2k on the phone game Clash of Clans. It boggles my mind how he can complain about anything when his priorities are so backwards. Any attempt to get him to not throw his money in a pile and burn it is met with 'I spend my money on things I want', and suggesting that maybe he'd enjoy his own place more than phone pixels is met with an angry stare. There's just no helping some people.

oval office raja posted:#1 About half of the 50 new walls I got from upgrading are pink crystals, the other half are still gold. Should I continue to upgrade the walls to pink, and then purple, or should I start focusing on upgrading the cannons and archers? If all your TH 7 walls are purple, then you should be OK if your TH 8 walls are a mix of gold and pink. oval office raja posted:#2 Should I save up the ridiculous amount needed to upgrade the dark barracks and get hogs? I haven't yet because I'm worried they're not effective until level whatever. Should I upgrade my drill to a certain level first? L1 hogs aren't that ideal, but you can still use them. Now that my next upgrades involving DE are at the 17.5 or 20k level, I'm holding off on saving up DE and instead using it to make troops so I can save on elixir to do normal troop upgrades/upgrade my DE storage. Upgrading your DE drill is also a good idea, 20 DE an hour is pretty bad. oval office raja posted:#3 I quit using barbs a long time ago, they're only level 3. Should I upgrade them and start using them again? This is related to the next question. My poo poo gets wrecked regularly from people who have L5 barbs/archers. It's worth upgrading them. oval office raja posted:#4 My lots of lvl 4 archers/some lvl 4 wizards/a handful of lvl 3 giants/enough wallbreakers to get in tactic isn't really effective anymore. I just realized gobs have 2x damage on resources, should I be upgrading and using those? How many balloons at about what level are good for releasing after the air defenses have been taken out? I was thinking that substituting some gobs for a couple of the wizards would save me a ton of elixir, I've hit a point where filling my 200 spots with my old tactic and re-upping my spells costs almost 200000 elixir a go. My understanding was that you need L5 balloons before they are really useful. Previously, I was using 8 L2 dragons and 40 L4 archers but am now using more of an archer/wizard/L1 hogs mix to save up elixir. If all of your bees/giants aren't at L4 yet, I would get on that ASAP. oval office raja posted:#5 Spells are costing me a shitload. I never use the blue one, I usually have two healing spells and a purple Hulk-out spell. That's 61000 elixir at the levels they're at. I've stopped automatically using the spells, and started evaluating if they can be saved/etc. Is there anything else I can do besides not upgrade them any time soon? Spells cost a lot, so don't use more of them than you need. I would still upgrade them as it makes each spell more effective. Also only go for bases that have 150k+ gold and/or elixir. Sometimes though you just have to use a lot of elixir if you see a base with a lot of gold or DE you want to get at.

Currently in a clan war. Their top guy's base looks like this: and it seems like that should be pretty easy to get 2-3 stars from, but I'm not sure of the best troop composition. Most of my troops are TH 7 maxed (lvl 4/2) with the exception of archers, barbs and wizards (lvl 5). I feel like mass dragons would get too distracted to be effective, would barch+some giants+wiz be my best bet?

psychicattack posted:It's probably buried in here somewhere so just indulge me anyway: what are the implications from going to TH6 to TH7? I've just about maxed out all upgrades except for collectors. One of my three barracks is maxed out-I get all angry working with only 2 because I'm an impatient child. Otherwise I have one camp and one cannon left to go. The only thing that changes when you upgrade your TH is your ability to build/upgrade structures and the amount of loot you can get from people who have a TH level lower than yours. My personal preference was to max my collectors as soon as possible (level 11 collectors give you 360,000 per 24 hours of gold/elixir). There will still be plenty of loot at TH 7. You cannot live with one super awesome barracks. With each barracks being as upgraded as possible, it allows you to make an entire army consisting of whatever troops you want in one go very quickly. Upgrade that last army camp ASAP! You need as many troops as possible for your attacks going forward.

vulturesrow posted:Man I got the Thinkmeats supreme base all set up and the first time I got attacked I got 100% destroyed. Course the guy was a couple TH levels above but all it took was 1 wallbreaker, about 10 giants, 1 wiz and the rest level 4 barch. What's your current trophy level? You might be able to find some bases that are easier to attack if you dropped some trophies.
