Rooks Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Many of the one star attacks I watched had nothing to do with the level of opponent and everything to do with giants getting roasted by clan castle dragons. My first attack was a 1-star as I throw way too many archers at the CC Dragon and didn't have enough firepower left to actually destroy everything after the giants finished mopping up the defenses. My second attack I screwed up royally. Thought I was deploying archers deployed some giants instead which lead to me panic and deploying more giants in the wrong spot and it was all down hill from there. I was lucky to get 1 star to say the least. Quote Link to comment

LOL... I had just one fewer archer than I needed, and a dragon with 10 heath managed to get back to the giants before my wizards stopped attacking buildings and went for the dragon. So... we balanced each other out, I'm pretty much done with archers until I can upgrade them, having a whole group of archers get one shot sucks.. maybe upon upgrade they can work, I do see a lot of replays with mass archers, but they're all looking like Robin Hood...

Raev Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Those would be rank 5 archers looking like Robin Hood. I wish I had upgraded to them sooner!

Rooks Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Yeah... need TH8 for the Robin Hoods though. Way too many defensive upgrades left to do before I'm closing in on that. And I hear you on Archers getting 1-shotted. As a guy who does 95% Barch raiding, I have to be very selective about bases and their mortar placement. But I mean... even if they get upgraded to L5 archers, the mortars still get upgraded as well. Quote Link to comment

Wouldn't be so bad if they didn't go running through a hole as soon as it opens... and yeah, they do get upgraded, so I may end up not using em ever... but we'll see.

Raev Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 When I launch war attacks, I tend to wait for piggies to take out one mortar before I drop my full horde of archers. Usually I'll put a handful of archers near another mortar at the same time to take it out. The third goes down eventually without being too devastating. A handful of giants and my BK tend to distract mortars long enough for two to be destroyed. If I'm really nervous about one of them, I'll drop two lightning spells on it to destroy it quickly.

Rooks Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 To be fair though, in War Battles, if you can at least 1 star any town over above their #25, its worth like 100+ DE isn't it (assuming NF wins the war)? Quote Link to comment

Why not? Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 I used a dragon army this past war and had a great deal of success. I managed to 2-star their #11 (I'm our #22, so that was a big jump for me haha). I generally ignore my recommended target and go for targets with exposed AD. As for CCs with dragons in them, I just use a few archers to draw them out and then drop two dragons to kill them.

AlexCold Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Any chance we're starting a new clan for more people?

TheCrimsonFist Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 If we're considering a second clan, perhaps it would be an option to have a clan specifically for folks to use when farming, and have the main clan be for people that want to be involved in wars, etc?

Rooks Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Technically we don't have a full clan right now. We are at 49 I believe. Quote Link to comment
AlexCold Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 My thought for the second clan was to continue what we're doing but for lower level people. While I'm progressing, we're facing tougher and tougher clans and it's tough for lower level troops to have a chance. Not impossible but difficult.
