So, what is the verdict here? Jamie is saying he thought this was a farm war. Potting in the first 10 minutes by our top dude is still offensive.
a) let Jamie Jennnnnnkins back in for 2nd attack, then boot (fyi, this will cause Craig to go insane on us)
b) let Jamie Jennnnnnkins have his second chance
c) let Jamie Jennnnnnkins have some time off
He can't re-request right now since he was kicked. Craig is asking.

I sent him an invite so he can get his 2nd in but could go either way when the war is over.
Even in farm wars he would usually try for 50% and get the storages. Perplexed why he only hit the townhall in that pot effort with the storages right there as well.

A!
No apology or anything now that he is back in. We could use a little culling of the TH10 herd

Ya, if he thinks he can just wait until 2 minutes left and come in and try to play hero to win our love, he can go suck on a tesla. If he is a no show, insta/perma ban.Cliff Clavin said:A!Sputnikv8 said:

At what point do I opt back in for wars? TH6? 7?

Come back to FBGS and you'll be rolling in loot from all the farm wars. 3 of the last 4.

Tried rolling dragons in. They seem to get nailed by seekers before ever even getting a shot off.

If you encountered someone who has 4+ seekers at the DE storage, yeah that is a bad beat. But that certainly is not the norm.
Assuming they target the DE directly (which they should, since you've waited until your AQ has taken out whatever is in the way) then even 2 seeking mines shouldn't stop them. A pair of raged max dragons needs only two breaths to level a DE storage. A dragon hit by a max seeking mine is still left with 600hp.
I deploy the dragons in maybe 1 in 6 cases. Only when they have a direct path, the DE storage has an amount worth raiding, and the AQ herself can't reach it. The majority of times, I'm using just the AQ+healers with a sprinkling of minions/wb to facilitate direction.
For a short while I replaced the dragons with giants and goblins. That worked too, but I'm more comfortable with air so I reverted to dragons/minions. Now that the comp includes a large wallbreaker squad, might be worth revisiting giants/gobs.
Oh and I forgot to mention, for CC I usually take all skulls. They are versatile with this comp. As with the dragons though, I'll keep them leashed in most cases.

Usually if you imagine a 4 sided base with lootcaped de storage in core, I have queen sweep off all buildings between her and the destorage and let her turn the corner. I will zap any anti air she couldn't reach between the side and the de store. I test set down a minion to see where it goes, if it goes to the core, let out 2 drags and maybe some loons if I have them.
So they likely enter a situation where even under rage they are sustaining inferno and xbow fire. Even one or two seekers is enough to stop them cold.
If core diving a 4 healer and loonian buildout with 4 back cooked healers seems a little more effective.
I usually won't let the queen go anywhere near the core unless I'm out of back cooked healers. And even then I usually won't.

AQ walk
1 Hound
8 drags
4 zaps
1 rage
1 haste
Can 3 star most weak TH10 out there with minimal skil.

This guy out there has a different flavor of AQ loot bonus farming. Same concept.

For a max queen 3 should do it or need to try a different comp.
Idea is that queen gets one AA you zap 2 AA. Hound and loons get a 4th (OR king and hogs)
It's gotta be a weak TH10 with weak air d and a TH you can approach with drags where drags will not face two mutis at the same time. I've gotten a few 3 stars using this with L4 drags and no king at all on that four corners base.
Cliff Clavin
Footballguy
That is pretty much my AQ walk build out, though I shift between furs/wiz/hogs in the CC. Hogs are pretty solid to roll out there when walking if AQ gets under heavy fire.
sartre
Footballguy
Not a bad approach for TH9. I like the concept of packing rage to free up more troop space. I don't think his approach would go far against TH10 though. The attack is completely different when you have to stay out of inferno reach.
I originally thought 3zap/1EQ would be too impractical to take out one inferno. But it's saved my butt a number of times, and only takes 1 hour to rebuild those spells.
sartre
Footballguy
Like I said previously though, a max dragon hit by a max seeking mine still has 600 hp left. If raged and going directly to DE storage, infernos and xbows simply can't deal 600hp before they get two breaths off.
In my experience the drags win 99% of the time they fly direct to the DE storage. If they are making other stops first, well then yeah you might have problems.
Also, I agree about the last point. In fact that is the entire theme of this attack -- to keep her from core diving. Although I am getting better at figuring how to let her dive when she already has cleared more than 40%, so she can do some internal damage and I can end the battle the second she makes 50%
As soon as my max EQ is done to pair with my max zaps, it's going to be like TH8 all over again.
culdeus
Footballguy
You only need max EQ for the really odd cases where you want to take down an aird/inferno/clancastle/aq and they are all maxed.
Zaps need to be the very first TH10 upgrade now. At least till they change things. It's stupidly overpowered.
culdeus
Footballguy
If I want to flex a little bit and push trophies what I do is
4 healers
2 hounds
12 minions
Loons to fill
cc hound/loon
4zaps rage and an eq
back cook healers
back cook minions and archers
Go try and 3 star a th10 then go right back and 1 star another base. Can pickup a quick 40 cups that way. Also great practice for war.

Has anyone here tried pushing to Titan?
My impression is that attacks-per-shield-break would be the most important factor. Generally that should be 1:1, though with some of these AQ/healer comps you can get 2:1. Beyond that you would need either 3rd-party assistance (mods or bluestacks) or the ability to stay online for hours at a time. Without either of those things, I wonder if there is much point in trying.

Word on the street is that it's getting a little easier lately. Cup offers of in the single digits were common. Now the spread is a little wider so you can make some headway.
sartre
Footballguy
I've done an about-face on this. To use 7 of 11 spell slots to eliminate one inferno seemed impractical, but I've done it both in and out of war now, and it has been very effective.
Of course it's even better if you can simultaneously hit the AQ or other defenses, but absent that, it can still be worthwhile.
Cliff Clavin
Footballguy
Doesn't matter at this point. They're getting 2* with their eyes closed and we can barely get 1*.Sputnikv8 said:Cold start for us. 16 attacks, 6 0's. I highly recommend going lower on first attacks or we will get into trouble.
Its over...
culdeus
Footballguy
Yeah, Freezes are for the moment obsolete, at least for farming. They cook slowly and only provide 7s of protection versus 3 minutes. I've been packing your combo of 4zap/1rage/1eq or 4z/haste/eq/poison depending on certain factors.
Got another 3 star no king 3 star in war on a th10 with 4 zaps and an eq. That same stupid 4 corner base.
sartre
Footballguy
Can you post one of those replays? I still have yet to tackle that base. Haven't encountered it in war, and in raiding I usually next past it, since it's not a good candidate for my raiding comp. Sooner or later though... and I am without BK for another month.
And you are right, the shorter build time of lightning is an advantage I neglected to mention. Even if you take out an inferno with 3z/1eq, it takes just 1 hour to rebuild those spells.
culdeus
Footballguy
I'll try to get a replay up. I just use the way eclipse does it. Sweep one side with an aq walk let a couple drags out to funnel then 6 more right at the core and rage them in. I've gotten 3 3 stars the same way.

Thanks for posting. I've been grinding yoga's golems so I could give this a shot. Got them to level 3 so gave this my first shot. Subbed out the heal for a couple haste and it's a pretty poor base but don't think I would have had success with my traditional raid.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Yb87dm0xOPE
Honda still working on this attack and/or has there been any success on the stronger th9s? Think big red tried this in fbgs a coulpe times but thats about it. My heroes are getting up to a decent level where I can try this on some of the more poorly designed maxed th9 bases and see how it goes.

Footballguy
Has someone recorded Big Reds attack? No reason all our th9s can't do attacks like that as his hero's are not too big
freeannyong
Footballguy
Also saw a lot of TH10 attacks this war that left golems alone on a wing to get destroyed by a queen. King (or pekka) needs to go in a place where the Queen will die fast

Any idea what this is? Mini-wars like they had at clashcon?
So we should expect the update to drop sometime in the second week of December.

I tucked my TH in, and had a defense this morning on an awful attack that managed to take out my AQ but not much else.
Her regeneration time is supposed to be 1h 48m
When I logged on almost 2h later, she still had 45 minutes left on the timer. All told, that 108 minutes turned into 195.
I forgot that way way way back, someone mentioned when your base is being scouted, your clock stops.
Maybe they could fix that too.

Noticed a couple TH10 attacks using jump spells on clover variants when there is no splash damage in the area. I may be missing something, but that seems like a massive waste of spells.

Keep in mind not the most developed base in world (89), but had no king and also not max dragons. So with a King grabbing a near side AirD and ZQ on a backide AirD, plus max drags this is viable for 3 still.
One issue I had is that all the other bases had drags in CC so was counting on that for drag funneling. Was only gonna let loons out on the backside but needed them for a panic funnel down the right flank to keep drags from just orbiting out of the base.
