Raev Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 With practice, you can lure the CC troops somewhere that will allow you to kill them and damage other key structures with your lightning spells too. I like to try for the "CC and Anti Air combo" 1 Quote level 4 Gnoll warrior STR 6|DEX 5|STA 4|CON 5|WIS 5|CHA 2 Building a better Raev, part 1.

Schmopey Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I stagger barbs to draw them out..drop a barb in CC radius to get them out - he dies drop barb further out to draw defenders away from base defenses - he dies repeat until defenders are far enough away to either circle with archers (avoids spash units like wiz and dragon) or lightning spellTips to keep in mind:if you drop another unit before you string barbs out the defenders will shift to that target, unless engaged by your troops trying to kill them; example - droping a barb on oneside to draw out, then immidiatly dropping troops on other side of base as defenders go to barb = barb dies, defenders move against new force and will not follow any other troops you use to string them outdon't take to long to draw out and kill, your on the clock - it is a balancing act to do this and not take too much timeI can not stress enough to draw them out as far as possible from base defenses or your attacking troops will have to take damage from multipule sourcesdropping attackers to kill defenders in one spot is suicide....wiz and dragon will kill 20 archers or mass wizards before lossing 1/2 their hitpointspractice makes perfect, again the time issue is always a thorn in the sidelightning will do nothing againts flying defenders...archers and wiz are your friends heredroping a clan castle full of units to attack defenders is the same as dumping all those units in one spot...splash damage will eat them upI am in no way an expert in this game, but I have learned all the above leasons first hand....I love to draw out the defenders and slaughter them, just watch any of my replays...the rest of my raid is never as well done as that part is though. again just my thoughts This is all good advice. The bolded bit needs to be clarified just a little. The Lightning spell does hit flying units, but dragons and some balloons have too many hit points to be destroyed by it (will usually destroy minions), so you really do need to have enough archers or wizards to take them out. One additional thing is that your bait must survive long enough to pull everyone out. Otherwise, you may get the quicker archers only to be left facing a few wizards or, God forbid, a dragon when your actual attack gets underway. This bait must be within the CC trigger radius to keep troops coming out. For some of the CCs that are near the middle of the village, you would need to drop a wallbreaker, giant, or piggie to get close enough to trigger the troops; archers or barbs will attack the structures outside the walls and be killed before springing the troops. It is a very good idea to use the "Scout" button to determine where you'll be able to spring the troops. Last war, the dragon in my CC completely decimated a force of 20 or 25 piggies, because it was able to hit them where it was out of reach of support attackers.

Raev Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 I'll be attacking in a couple of hours. I built 40 wizards and 5 hog riders to give out to people requesting troops while I waited for the small and medium sized clanmates to make their hits. I always hold my two attacks until the morning after war is declared. Quote level 4 Gnoll warrior STR 6|DEX 5|STA 4|CON 5|WIS 5|CHA 2 Building a better Raev, part 1.

I'm gonna try another pig rush but with 2-3 healing spells. That worked really well for me last war, not so much my first attack of this one. It really helps if the pigs stay in one large group and bounce from D to D. This time they split and hit a few spring traps. I am going to try it again.

KGB Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 What is the enrollment status? I've glanced through the last few pages and there was discussion about a possible second clan (if the first clan is full), but it doesn't look like anyone has started it. Do we have enough people who can't fit in the original clan, but want to be active? I don't mind starting a new Clan if there is an interest. I wouldn't want it to be "casual", exactly, but just in addition to the current (full?) Clan. The Clan in my head would be active and still participate in wars. If there's a need/desire for that, there is. I am in a Clan right now, but (a) it's not terribly active and ( the leaders and most of the active players are literally 10 years old. So, I'm in the market for a new Clan. Quote My Puny Little Battlelog Link to comment

KGB Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 At TH7 and Silver II League, I find it pretty slow-going to farm gold. I'll occasionally find bases with significant reserves available, but it's the exception rather than the norm. And as soon as I hit over a million gold, I'll get raided for 200,000 gold. It makes saving up for the big upgrades a bit trying. Quote My Puny Little Battlelog Link to comment
insanity Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I've pretty much relegated myself to raiding people with 50-70 k for the most part, I have my army set up for the higher stuff but that's pretty rare at this point.

Raev Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I raid for gold in the low Silver leagues, I try to sit around 900 trophies. When I get over 1mil, I put my town hall out in the open and bury my storage as deep as I can. Trophy hunters will typically keep me in a shield and away from the gold/elixir hunters. I've built up 4mil in gold this way. 1 Quote level 4 Gnoll warrior STR 6|DEX 5|STA 4|CON 5|WIS 5|CHA 2 Building a better Raev, part 1.
