Frost of the Gloaming Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I'm in the same boat Squeak, I only have lvl 1 wizards I'm just happy that I'll have them and my wizard tower by the war, now to upgrade a few cannons and fortify my walls Quote Between a rock and a hard place, use our finger nails to climb, it's all we know..........

mitch_dee Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 For our next war, what is the consensus for defensive troops, dragons or wizards?Found this online and seems a good breakdown the way I see it: The Clan Castle will also play a major role in the outcome of a defense, make sure you fill your Clan Castle with good troop combinations: -For a level 1 Clan Castle (10 spaces) 2 Wizards and two Archers is a great combination. -For a level 2 Clan Castle (15 spaces) 1 witch and 3 Archers is a good combination however it does not do as well as 3 Wizards and 3 Archers. -For a level 3 Clan Castle (20 spaces) The best option is a Dragon followed by 5 Wizards then a witch and 2 Wizards and lastly 4 Wizards and 4Archers. -For a level 4 Clan Castle (25 spaces) The best bet is to go with a witch 3 Wizards and 1 Archer.

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 My personal view is the wizards, especially the lvl 4+, burn through giants before most people can react and destroy them or heal the giants. The dragons are slower, but harder to take down once you do react as you basically need wizards or archers on hand and the dragon has to be out where they'll target it.

Schmopey Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I am more than happy to supply all the wizards I can make. I have been rebuilding my elixir store (upgrade to Lvl5 wizards costs 2.5M), and should have plenty for 100+ wizards. The really great thing is that we don't have to replenish the troops after every attack. We should probably use the highest lvl wizards in the towns most likely to be attacked. 1 Quote Paladin Aspirant Level 3 STR: 13 DEX: 3 STA: 9 CON: 9.33 WIS: 6.66 CHA: 6 MyFitnessPal Challenges: First, Second, Third, Fourth Link to comment
mitch_dee Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I agree with you both, I just wanted to put it out ther for others thoughts. I am a HUGE fan of Wizards as defenders.

Schmopey Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I am going to splurge and power upgrade my wizards. I figure I can get 104 lvl5 wizards at the lvl4 cost. That's a savings of 50,200 elixir. Quote Paladin Aspirant Level 3 STR: 13 DEX: 3 STA: 9 CON: 9.33 WIS: 6.66 CHA: 6 MyFitnessPal Challenges: First, Second, Third, Fourth Link to comment
Gainsdalf the Whey Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Wizards it is then! Any left over slots fill with archers. As far as attack order goes, I think last time's plan worked out really well. Everyone outside the top 10 attack the highest people you are comfortable 3 starring once war day starts. The top 10 will save their attacks until the last 4-6 hours and we will work on everything that is left. This let's everyone take their shots and take out the weakest opponents first with their choice of targets, and leaves just any left over clean up to the higher level people before we go after the harder opponents the lower level people didn't feel comfortable taking out. 1 Quote Massrandir, Barkûn, Swolórin, The Whey Pilgrim 500 / 330 / 625 Challenges: 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 31 32 34 35 36 39 41 42 45 46 47 48 49 Current Challenge "No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training.

Schmopey Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I'll have 50 lvl5 wizards to donate once preparation day starts with another 54 queued, but that will be just about all my elixir until morning.

Zarklin Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Giants for me also.

Schmopey Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I like giants as well, especially CrystalAnkh's lvl 6. I will try to keep people supplied with lvl5 giants on war day, though I might have trouble during work hours.

Glacier Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 There'll be 24 hours for preparation--set up your base to avoid letting attackers get stars. Don't worry about protecting resources. Then there'll be 24 hours for WAAAARRRR!!! Enemy camps will be arranged, top to bottom, highest to lowest level. Find the highest level camp you believe you can annihilate and, you know, annihilate it Each player gets 2 attacks, only the best attack on each base will count, and the clan with the most stars wins. (So don't attack a base that's already been 3 starred.) Quote Link to comment
