Ultimately clan wars are going to be -ev unless you can loot raid on round two when things are well in hand.

Th7 really get the shaft because their clan castles don't hold jack.

 

[thecatch]

I don't know. I've been losing 300k or so elixir every war in exchange for 400k gold plus 700-900 DE. That's at TH7 and having never got less than a 2 star. Still seems like a good trade off. Hopefully the guys stocking all the garrison troops are making loot as well.

 

[MindCrime]

The cost of DE is pretty rough for war troops.

Valks lvl 1- 70 DE

Hogs lvl 3- 52 DE

I've been attacking enemy top 10 guys with

30 hogs (1560 DE)

2 dragons , some arch and barbs

DE cost for 2 attacks is basically 3,000

If I donate another 40 hogs, as well as 5 valks, that's about 2,500 DE

So I'm in the range of 5-6,000 DE, and only earning about 1250 from war loot.

Note: I'm not complaining at all, just pointing out the numbers. Other people (Fudd, Gary, etc) donating more and higher level troops than me, and the same can be said for others chipping in dragons. I love the clan wars, and the cost is worth the enjoyment. It also allows our lower guys to score some serious loot on the high ranks at the end of the war. Stronger clan=more fun for me.

About the same but not quite as bad due to smaller and lower level army. I spend about 1450 DE each attack and another 500 probably giving valks and hogs away. So about 3300 DE to gain 450k/450k and about 900 DE.I am happy to do it, long as people don't get upset if I scrimp occasionally when saving for an expensive DE upgrade. If I have over 20k DE I get hammered by lightning. So when I get to that point I want to speed to the amount I need quick. Part of why I sat out this fbg2 war.

Next weekend, I'm heading out to Europe for a week. I'm not the most tech-savvy guy in the world, so am I correct in assuming that I won't be able to use my phone over there? Sprint is my carrier.

You can still use wifi for internet access. When I was on vacation over there I logged in once a day from the hotel to keep my builders busy

This.I've been out of the country for 10 days and have been playing.

 

[GregR]

FBG1 was at 41, so we kicked someone who didn't fight last war and whose base looked idle, USC2CPT. Rejoin when you get back from idle.

Matchmaking begun.

 

[GregR]

We got an American clan.... NOT A CHARITY.

We're going to need good participation. They have:

3 TH10 to our 1 TH10

5 TH9 to our 2 TH9

15 TH8 to our 11 TH8

13 TH7 to our 20 TH7

4 TH6 to our 6 TH6

 

[NorvilleBarnes]

They have 50 members to our 40

 

[beer 302]

They have 50 members to our 40

Pretty sure only their top 40 will be able to participate in the war though

 

[PatsWillWin]

Damn, forgot to switch over in time.

 

[MindCrime]

With our normal top 2 out for this war, I'm the top base so I'll leave my TH out as the honey pot, hopefully lure some cheap attacks.

 

[igbomb]

How fitting. From the Clash of Clans facebook page....

"Did somebody say GOBLINS?!?!

In the next update you can dismiss troops from your War Base Clan Castle if they don't meet your standards!"

I guess bdawk can come back to the clan now.

 

[igbomb]

So how far do you guys plan on upgrading your walls? I'm nearly done with the purple walls (lvl 7) and was thinking I'd go at least one more level, but after looking at the walls vs. wbs chart on the the wiki, I'm not so sure I'll upgrade any further.

At wall level 7, you need two level 5 or 6 wbs to get through.

At wall level 8, same.

At wall level 9, three level 5 or two level 6 wbs

At wall level 10, three level 5 or 6.

So from the perspective of protection from wbs, going to level 8 offers nothing new. And even going to lvl 9 only gives you added protection against lvl 5 wbs, which you probably won't face much of by the time you get your level 9 walls.

I think wall level 7 seems to be the sweet spot.

I am nearing the end of th8 and have been tossing around the idea of upgrading my walls (currently lvl7) before moving to th9. Looking at the chart it doesn't seem to be a priority to me anymore.

This is great news; it would have taken me forever to upgrade all of the walls.

 

[igbomb]

I think I can take their 9,10 or 14. I'm our 22.

 

[thecatch]

I've been as high as the mid 1500s trophy wise and almost never see walls beyond lvl 7. Maybe that changes as you get really high in the ranks.

 

[culdeus]

This clan looks fairly easy. Again, we'll probably roll them.

Since I've been getting my ### handed to me lately with clan wars I'm going to try balloonian with the lower TH8 guys first to see if it's practical.

Something like

20 Arch

55 Minons LV2

14 Baloons LV4

Arch to take out CC troops

Clan hogs to take out one perimeter AA

3 Zap to take out another AA.

I think to take out higher level th8 i need lv5 baloons and lv3 minions with upgraded rage spells.

lv5 balloons is probably my next upgrade.

 

[VA703]

ill be tryin the balloons out also once I can get them upgraded.. minions are abuot to be lvl 3 so that should be fine, I want ballons at 5 then I roll with them. probably use all rage spells as well

 

[culdeus]

I'm gonna scout the lower th8s and see what they leave. It might be I drop some minions for my own hogs to try and sweep out any areas where Wiz cant hit my hogs and go pure rage.

Not that I really care about ROI, but those that do it certainly could end up being higher ROI than going 9 dragons, both on a time commitment basis and elixer if anyone actually cares about elixer in this game.

[Flounder]Oh boy, this is gonna be great![/Flounder]

 

[AcerFC]

I asked this in game but Ill ask here also

Where are th8s finding a sweet spot. I think I may be too high

The bases are there but I cant crack the resources and just hitting 50% with very little roi

 

[BroadwayG]

I think wall level 7 seems to be the sweet spot.

Beyond that you're just building up protection to stall other units. The value of that is up to you. I love walls, but hate their price.

This is good info. I was wondering the same thing last week.

I'd say I'm 60% into TH7 and have all pink walls. I'll upgrade to purple and likely stop.

IMO 1150-1350.

At 1150 - 1250 you will get free shields when you logoff for the gem thing.

Above about 1300 you are seeing better bases with more DE but harder bases. Lately I've gone giant/healer to push up to about 1400, then barched my way back down to 1150 and logoff. I only lose big on revenges this way.

1500ish was good for me. I mostly just rush against de containers though.

I'm not even going to consider black walls till upgrade times are so long I have nothing else to spend gold on.

I've never done mass balloons, but wouldn't they be too slow for wars?

Same with me. Gonna take forever to finish out purple but I'll do it because I notice it does slow some troops. When TH8's & 9's come calling my walls could be rainbow and it ain't stopping them so it doesn't matter.

 

[culdeus]

2 balloons = 1 dragon dps. (at max th7 or th8 level) LV1-3 balloons blow

If you can get just two of them to survive then they will cleanup better than dragons due to splash damage being 4x more than dragons.

Biggest issue are heavy upgraded tesla towers placed near TH for clan wars. That could be the Achilles heel that doesn't exist for normal raiding where you would like teslas over near the th

Exactly. It's gotta be tough to have badass walls only to watch hogriders and dragons simply bypass them.

About the same as level 6 giants walking through lesser walls like they don't exist.

LVL6 Giant has 43dps (86 per attack), lvl7 walls has 2,500hp. So I guess it depends on how many giants are coming.

Right. I kind of mush-mouthed my last post. I have lvl7 and am leaning against going to lvl8. The skulls increase from 2500 to 3000, which frankly doesn't seem worth it for the cost.

I get how the hard-core guys might want to. Every bit matters up there. But I've been trying to max everything out at each TH level before moving on, and I don't think I'll do that with walls at TH8. Maybe if I end up as a TH10 or something I'll start to invest again.

FBGs 60 stars on 20 attacks.

Them 12 on 32 attacks

wikia says the upgrade in protection from WB's from 6-7 is practically nil, whereas the protection going from 7-8 is more significant. But it's all about the cost for me, cuz if I can't afford it it won't matter it's it's worth it or not.

Like most of us, I prefer to upgrade everything before moving up to the next TH, but if I have to grind out a billion gold to do walls then the games stops being fun and I'll just skip that part.

ill probably get to my lvl 8 walls once all buildings are finished and its just troop upgrades and upgrading my BK. once all that's done ill move over to th9 whether the walls are done or not.. but I hear money just gets harder and harder to come by the higher TH you go so if you ever want lvl8 walls it may be best to get them at th8

I'll consider upgrading to lvl 8 walls in the fall of 2016, hah!

lv5 balloons is probably my next upgrade.

I made balloons my first TH8 upgrade. If you look at bang-for-buck, I think balloons and wizards provide the highest return.

I did a balloonian in the last fbg2 war when it was clear we were way ahead. I think you made me some minions for that. I completely neglected the CC troops else might have wiped the base clean, it was their #9 I think. Balloons are great for Clan Wars, but the rebuild time makes them less useful for normal raiding. They are a lot of fun though, as long as you don't underestimate the defenses (wizard towers scare me more than teslas actually).

Level 5 balloons are way stronger than level 4. I'd be happy to make some for you if you want to include them in your war troops, just let me know.

I feel the same. I was just adding up how much time I had left to finish up all lab research, and it was on the order of two months. I expect to be finished with building upgrades long before then, so I imagine I will be spending lots of gold on walls while research and BK upgrades are ongoing.
