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.

If I have all lvl 7 (purple), will lvl 6 giants be an issue? Does lvl7 offer much in the way of better protection?

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.

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.

In a sense, it is. The only wbs it offers increased protection against are lvls 1 and 6. Everyone else in between takes the same number of wbs it did for lvl 6 walls.

But at th8 and above, you only face lvl 5 and 6 troops. So that extra protection at lvl 6 pays off. Now from lvl 7 to 8 walls, they offer no increased protection against lvl 5 and 6 wbs. Sure they are stronger against lvls 1-4, but if you have wbs at that level you're not attacking skull walls to begin with.

Looking to join a clan. I am assuming I am cannon fodder. TH5

Just make sure to put FFA in the request so we know it's not some random yahoo.

"fbgs" the invite only clan is what we refer to as FBG1, and has a war starting up that it's too late to join, but you can still be in the clan if you want to watch the war, it just won't let you attack in it. They go to war Sunday night (war starts Monday night, ends Tuesday night).

FBG2:ElecBoog is our FBG2 clan. They go to war Thursday morning. People jump back and forth to be in a war, or to get out of the way if they won't be around, so don't worry about moving between them.

There's also a FBG3:theminors or something like that for folks with their kids.

I'm 80 minutes away from completing my TH8. I'll have 3 builders, 4 million gold, and about 3 million elixir on hand. Any thoughts on what I should do first?

I was thinking along the lines of what would help the wars most so I can chip in some more - so upgrade barracks first for valks? And the upgrade building so I can donate more upgraded troops?

Valks are expensive in DE. You'd be best off making your DE drill and upgrading it to level 3 as quick as you can. Even then, we TH8 make a fraction what the TH9's do in DE.

Probably the easiest thing for us TH8 to contribute right now is level 5 wizards since they cost elixir. We could use more people with Level 3 dragons too.

 

[PatsWillWin]

thanks.

Missing elecboog. Anyone want to join a clan with a few people I know IRL? One more and we can declare war. Clan is "The Stray Dogs"

 

[bshell27]

Mention FFA OR or cake and pie as usual of course.

How many? I have about 9 irl friends as well. Problem is they don't listen to me during clan wars, lol. They do what they want.

We might be able to merge.

FBG1... for our guys with Level 3 dragons.... #3 would be a big piece to bite off, but even with an inferno and 2 crossbows targeting air, he might be vulnerable to dragons. He has 4 anti-air, all of them around the outside edge where you might be able to kill them before unleashing the dragons. Hopefully rage and heal near the inferno. It's level 1, multi-target, can hit 5 at once, 30 dps.

Might make for a 2nd attack for someone.

 

[GregR]

1 hour in...

FBG1: 16 attacks for 36 stars

Not a Charity: 10 attacks for 16 stars

We have 1 three-star, 1 two-star and 4 three-stars on their top ten. We have a total 8 three-stars on them.

They have a pair of one-stars on our top ten (one of which was our honeypot). They have a single three-star on us.

I'll be scoping things out in the morning.

Just got to TH6. Anyone have a good base layout? Also, is this when most people decide to go sub200? I've never really had problems finding targets, but I do always tend to take heavy losses. Going sub200 just seems like a lot of hassle, lol

Yes, it's a good time. I think you'll probably make more than the TH7's since you can get 90% of the loot from any TH5 you come across, while a TH7 only gets 50%.

Check out Ignoramus2's layout. It won't hold up to a good TH7 attack but it's solid.

I still find a ton on 200k+ bases in the 800-1000 range at TH6.

I tried going sub200 in a TH6 today and I couldn't find squat for resources down there.

I'm assuming the idea is to just send in 1 barb and surrender repeatedly until your trophy level drops and take down any juicy targets along the way?

 

[GregR]

I'm assuming the idea is to just send in 1 barb and surrender repeatedly until your trophy level drops and take down any juicy targets along the way?

To drop down there, yes.

Once you are there, you are looking to attack with minimal troops so you are attacking almost continually. Mostly just goblins, sometimes with a giant to draw fire so you use less goblins (if he saves you 4+ goblins then you've saved rebuild time). And sometimes a few WB to break in.

You aren't looking for 150k/150k bases. You are looking for things that take few troops but have a good return. 25k gold and 10k elixir is great if you can take it down with 1 giant and 15 goblins and be attacking again in 2 minutes. And if you had goblins queued up while you attacked, you'll finish the attack and have your army ready to go without even waiting. You'll find scores too, but it's the 25k-50k bases that you hit rapidly that make it pay off.

 

[GregR]

FBGs 34 attacks for 70 stars.

Charity Cases 26 attacks for 33 stars.

If any of our lower levels are looking for loot cashes with their second attack... #17 and #24 are the biggest loot with the most exposed THs. Will have to deal with BK and CC troops plus they aren't completely undefended.

Thanks, good to know. That's pretty much all i deemed worthwhile once i dipped below 200, so that's what I did. While dropping trophies I hit a number of very nice 100k+ raids while in the 800-1000 range that only cost me a handful of goblins

 

[VA703]

I stopped farming for a few days due to long builds, ended up in the 700 trophy range. I decided to climb the trophies instead of going back to sub200.. im actually finding some easy 150k bases in the 1100 range and some nice ones around 1250 with gold walls. not much DE but plenty of gold which is what i want right now. nice thing about the 1200 range is you can logoff for a minute and someone whos climbing trophies will give you a free shield. I might try to climb to 1500 today and check the waters there

 

[culdeus]

Well I learned another valuable and expensive lesson. When trying to draw a BK/CC over an AA be wary of the fact that the AA won't die on a 3 pop if you hit collateral damaged troops. That turned an easy 3star to a 2star when the AA didn't die.

I do think a ballonian is the most +EV way to go about this. I just need higher level balloons.

Either that or I just suck at doing anything but barching.

I was at 1675 and was just finding it hard to build a strogn enough army to really make a dent. Everything was locked up and sealed up there. I could have kept getting higher by hitting 50%s but it wasnt working for me. Maybe you will have more luck since your attacking skills are better than mine which suxors

I can see why people started losing interest at th8 before clan wars.

I never have enough gold for any of the big upgrades. I have yet to upgrade an archer tower or wizard tower. I have 3/5 cannons at 9 and they all go to 10. When I do have some cash, I upgrade walls because I fear that I will be raided and would rather dump my money into something than lose it.

The only th8 upgrade I have done is upgrade 1 mortar to fire bombs

Add to that the fact that upgrade times are so long and it is too much of a grind. Im hoping my drop of close to 500 trophies gives me some different bases to hit.

 

[coyote5]

We haven't run into a clan that can challenge us yet so it's not really a big deal, but in watching some of our attack replays, there are some odd uses of spells sometimes. Like using lightning on strange targets, or not using enough lightning to eliminate the target.

if you need a freee shield drop down in the 1250 range. people are trying to TH snipe so they can earn their gem reward at 1250 trophies . even if you get rolled max loot you will lose is probably 250k or so

 

[VA703]

I regret researching giants to lvl 5 before hogs lvl 2.

im starting wizards lvl 5 tonight so I can help out a bit for war defense. after that I think ill max spells then balloons . I really don't use giants that much lately so I will probably leave giants goblins and wallbreakers as my last th8 upgrades

It is a long haul. I'm at the tail end of TH8, on last tesla upgrades. I remember thinking it would be impossible to get over 2 million gold to do upgrades, but it gets better. I will be sad to see it go.
