Is it better to have a dragon or valks in your war castle?

Apparently nobody told Greg about the "shower" room. It's not really a shower room per se...you see the girls, for the right amount of money will take you bac...how do I PG this up...DON'T SHOWER IN THE SHOWER ROOM!!!
Happened to me last weekend too. Glitch in the matrix which sucks because you get screwed on dragons in the war cc.

They both have their advantages/disadvantages. Valks can wipe out massive amounts of ground troops fast - in one war we had a very low ranked guy's CC Valk take out over 20 giants and 20 barbs by herself, but she is useless against air troops.

logistically this will be difficult, i see 3 villages that look to be abandoned. the mid tiers will need to drop down and get stars in the low tier i think.

True but I was just thinking, other than ours, have any of you had an all out dragon rush against you in clan wars? I haven't seen one yet. You get the obligatory dragon or two maybe but nothing like what we do.

Think I recall seeing one all out dragon rush in the 1st FBG1 war this week, but yes, they are very rare.
For lower level guys, I think valk in the clan castle is without a doubt the best. She will take out barbs and giants far better than a dragon, plus you can possibly fit 3 wizards in the CC with her while the dragon takes it all up by himself.
Higher levels I think a mix (valk+wiz, or dragon+wiz, or all wizards) so it's more unpredictable is good. Plus the higher level attackers are usually a little better about luring out the CC contents. But only a little.

Our first few wars they were very prevalent. I had one against me 2-3 weeks ago. But I haven't even been attacked at all by any troops recently.
Yep.
I was attacked a couple weeks ago, and that's the only war defense I've had. I was 3-starred by 30+ hogs after my cc troops were lured out and killed.

Yeah, you're not really packing a dragon to stop an all out dragon rush. There are NO CC troops that are gonna have a meaningful impact on a dragon rush. As Greg mentioned, the unpredictability of what's in there for the high level guys can help.

I need a new th8 base. Mine is just too easy to get the resources. Sure, I dont get starred too often when my th is inside but they get a lot. Need to close it up
Anyone have anything. I have been using what Greg and Va use . Would love something with compartments. I tend to press next when I see them because I know I will need a ton of wbs and mine are dumb and dont do what I want them to do

I hear ya, but I'm still using that set up and like it. I like the way they get routed around, and end up losing troops to the springs. I only really get run over by strong TH9 and 10.

You guys have got to watch my son's defense in the Boog war. His name is Ryan and he has the greatest valk ever! Can someone please record that?

FBG2 war:
Electric Boog: 59 stars / 24 attacks
Pinoy lady boys: 52 stars / 31 attacks
Closer than normal, but not too worried.

TBH, I feel like I've seen valks kill more troops, but that was quality. I could just vision him sitting there saying to himself "WTF is this thing and how the #### do I get rid of it? Oh OH! LETS LIGHTNING IT!!! ####."

The dream of 150 stars this battle is dead. I can't 3 star their number 1. I have one attack left, but the most I can hope for is 1 star. I haven't figured out how to attack someone with inferno towers yet. They are just too powerful.

FBG2 36 for 87 stars
Pinoy xbow 40 for 66 stars.
Other clan is overall the best attackers I have seen to date from an opponent. They almost always lure the CC. They aren't experienced at how to handle a valk in there necessarily, but they don't attack without a clue like most clans.

Speaking of that, did anyone upload to youtube the valk who took down like 100 barbs in a pair of continuous streams? The one I said was like the barbs were water and the valk was a drain they were pouring down?

I think I'll hold my 2nd attack to see if it's needed or not. If not, I'm after that #4 little tramp with the come hither look.

I forgot to make my first attack with my sons account this morning. He can easily take some of the lower level villages and I will do that when I get home from work. I also have another 10 dragon attack ready to unleash and will do that as well.

FBG 38/41 attacks won, Pinoy 34/40 attacks won. This is as close as anyone has been, let's see if they can keep up the pace deep into their lineup, haven't seen anyone do that yet into the second half. Their stats are keeping up with us except star count. Still well ahead on stars at 91-66.

Wait ... I thought the boog was some sort of super-massive force of destruction? I figured you would have been looting by 11am.

126 - 81 with 7 attacks still left within the top 10. I think we are doing just fine.

Just started my last def upgrade - my days in TH7 are numbered. I'll hang out and upgrade walls as long as possible. This is a fun level, still learning how to use minions, hogs, BK and dragons.

Footballguy
Me too, I have collectors & walls. Probably a few more weeks to finish up and fill my coffers before the big leap.
Bogart
Footballguy
Same boat. Im, down to teslas and walls, and I guess a couple of barracks up to dragons. Last lab upgrade is almost done. But I'm not in a huge hurry as I need to work on my raiding. In fact, going to redo my base later today.
Dickies
Footballguy
Yea, the walls in TH7 seem like they'll take ages, but with lab upgrades I've got over a month to get them done. Trying to knock out all the expensive upgrades first at TH7 so that I can finish it out letting my collectors do some of the heavy lifting.

They were ahead at the beginning, and also probably the only clan that had more attacks than us for a significant time period. We are just much more efficient than other clans. We tend to get 2-3 stars the majority of the time, and the valks keep a lot of attacks at 0-1 stars. This was by far the best clan we've faced in terms of dealing with the CC troops.
SoCalBroncoFan
Footballguy
Yeah, really scared. At this point, if anyone can stay within 20 stars of us I would be surprised.

Waaah, waaah, you cry, this game is too hard!
Sorry son, but I don't have to dumb down The Sport just so noobs like you have a chance at keeping up.
I play in a $4,000 entry, Super-WCOFF, triple-reverse, double down, mirror league with a modified PPFDR base 8 scoring system, and we just held our draft in July. For the 2013 season. You think Matt Barkley getting the start in USC is news? I drafted him after studying up on him, after he signed his letter of intent, last year. You think that maybe going with a WR in the first two rounds instead of back-to-back RBs is somehow new thinking in fantasy? Well, do you have the balls to do what I did this year when I didn't take my first RB until the fourth round (Roderick Smith, Harding High School of Indiana)? You've probably never even heard of Martavis Bryant, Kyle Prater, or Darius White, yet not only did I draft them this year to form my future WR core, I've also started referring to them by fantasy board nicknames (Super Mart, KPrater, & DoubleDarius). Hell, guys like you are going to be the poor schmucks who are searching this board five years from now for info on some great RB you just heard of out of the middle of nowhere in Alaska, and the FBG search result box is going to come up with this very post, where I brag about nabbing Isaiah Weeks of the Monroe Catholic Rams at the 25.32/26.01 turn a full two months before he lit up Delta Junction for 193 yards/2 TDs or Ketchikan for 183 rushing yards, 55 rec yards, & 2 TDs. You'll be wondering about his durability and I'll remember a phone call I made back when you were just hearing the name "Knowshon Moreno" for the first time to the kid's doctor in Fairbanks about the sprain he suffered in his left ankle in 2008.
Let me give you a tip, IT = INFO, and there's no "expires by" date on it.

I had a really terrible run for the first week or so after hitting TH8 in the 1100-1300 range. I thought the whole game had changed. I think it was just a bad luck run as things go bak to normal after that. No idea if its just random or some kind of glitch.
