[Busted]

I always feel less inadequate after i read this forum.

 

[sartre]

My first Quatro attacked failed - 45% in their #2 - a fairly maxed out TH10. I went with 4 Hounds, 16 Skulls, 20 Minions - 3 Rage/2 Freeze

Went wrong in a couple areas . . .

Opposing CC troops messed me up in the core.

My minions took way too long to get to the middle. Most Quatros I've seen have the minions and lava pups taking down the TH.

My Heros were useless as they lopped around the outside. maybe a couple WB's at the end to getbthem in?

Couple things I need to work on & practice . .

Might deploy hounds all together on one AD - splitting them up has just too much going on in 2 different places.

With 4 Hounds taking up 120 spots it's tough trying to account for opposing CC. This attack I went with 7 more skulls to attack with rather than a CC kill squad.

If anyone has any time I'd appreciate any reviews.

Got Lv3 Hounds this morning - Lv6 minions in 14 days !

This will be my war attack going forward. It's the best shot at 2/3 starring Th10's IMO.

Want to become a Quatro ninja. Until they nerf that of course and the next big attack becomes some WB/goblin thing.

Aiden, I wanted to give some feedback earlier but I have been swamped at work..

Anyway, I watched your attack a few times and I think just a couple minor changes would have made that a surefire 2-star.

1) your hounds got to the AA too early, particularly the pair on the south AA. Their value as a meat shield is diminished when they are too early. Consider rage a speed boost more than damage multiplier for loons, and use it closer to the perimeter if necessary. More thoughts on hound/loon deployment to follow

2) It seemed there was no plan to address the enemy CC. Wizards wreck loon bunches, which is what ended up ultimately derailing your attack. It might have cost 25 spots to fully lure that CC, which is expensive, but it would have been worth it in the end. You could have packed a lightning, but the CC contents were unknown (zap is useless against dragon). I thought perhaps you intended to freeze the CC over a defense, then let raged loon splash damage take them out - this would be a super cool tactic, but probably requires great focus and discipline to time it right. If that was the plan, the freeze was very early too.

In any case, leaving the CC unmolested was really the downfall here. I tried an attack on that base later, and decided I would use ~60 spots to lure the CC and take out the eastern defenses simultaneously. (It worked, but the attack failed because I was subsequently indecisive about how to deal with the lured CC and wasted too many minions goofing around with them.)

Very much liking the 50/50 wars. We are getting a solid range of targets for everyone.

BTW I'm ready to ice shuke for a few weeks, or for however long it needs to be. I'll probably make the push to TH10 later this month, but up to that point not planning on doing anything with the account except war fill in if needed.

Thanks for the feedback - appreciate the comments.

I've watched dozens of Quatro Loonion youtube videos now - and I'm more confused then ever.

Struggling with the rest of the attack troop makeup and whether or not to get rid of the opposing CC. There are videos out there that have Lava pups take ot CC and AQ.

4 HOuns take up 120 - doesn't leave much for the rest. Might try a Tri-Hound attack tonight and use the extra 30 spaces t deal with getting rid of CC first

if doing loonion attacks. you should be able to group all cc together then use a loon to kill them all on his death

 

[culdeus]

Who is toast. Is that a real base? If not then we are down to two spots

 

[Cyclones]

Took a brutal disconnect last night - burned out TH10 with low heroes and AA, I was well on my way to 3 starring it for 450/450/4800 plus the bonus when the client and server went out of sync. I almost shattered my phone. Ended up costing me 2 spells, a bunch of loons and 26 cups.

The worst part of it is that I had already killed the town hall and taken about 75% of the loot, but it only acknowledged the first 15 seconds or so of the attack. FU Supercell.

With Quatro . . .

4 Hounds = 120

16 Skulls = 80

20 Minions = 40

That's 240. When attacking a TH10 having to rely on ONLY 16 skulls and 20 minions to take out the base is tough

Well all shuke lacks for a max th9 one cannon is a queen and elixer collectors to finish. I'm saving the free gems for the queen and just waiting on the collectors. Once those are done it would be pointless to leave at TH10. Only issue is whether grinding out the spell factory and max drags would be worth my effort. If FBGS stays at or near 50 for awhile my motivation to push that account will be really low.

Way too many minions. Take 5, tops. I'm going to run with 5 on my base tonight and I'm worried that's too many.

I'm using the Giza base but have 2 inferno towers and a third XBow packed in there as well. It's performed really pretty well since Doc had me shift things around, especially considering my walls are bush league.

 

[culdeus]

Lavaloon and Hog raids have something in common.

You won't 3 star the base without the hogs or loons cleaning up in the end. Having cleanup troops behind the raid that were not directly involved in killing the clan castle troops is not useful.

There are better and more reliable ways to get 2 than hogs and hounds. If going that way go for 3 or bust.

 

[culdeus]

So I have a new reindeer game while waiting for them to fix the xbow bug.

Sit at around 2000 trophies.

TH8 now are frequently holding 1500 DE like it's nothing. I'm not sure what max DE is for a TH8, maybe 2250 from a TH9.

I go in with full loon squad, and spells in case I see a monster.

But, if I find a TH8 I try to take the DE with just 100 camp slots. Usually 16 loons and a handful of minions and cc minions + BK, no spells.

TH8 have no xbows so no worries there about up/down/bug and the cc is often easy to pull. Super profitable and can raid at the same build time as barching, but can hit the monsters if you find one.

 

[Ignoramus]

As a TH8 with lots of DE, I can attest to the profitability of that strategy.

While my failed attack yesterday in which I didn't lure/deal with the CC (hey, I only wanted one star...why bother?) says otherwise. I'm completely sold on Doc's CC brute squad. It can handle any opposing CC and should be considered even in a Loon strike. The suicide loon can take too much time/resources or fail outright. The kill squad handles max dragons and you still have 2 witches and a max wiz chewing on onside buildings when its dead.

Lightning, loonicide, splash damage...they can *possibly* all work. When they do fail though, the entire raid is doomed.

What's the win bonus there? I gotta say it's really nice to be able to go +elixir with loonion up around 2300. I use at most one spell and still typically go positive there.

Agree on the kill squad being extremely effective BUT it's a pain in the #### to get/build/donate. Witch is 20 minutes to build and if someone beats you to the donation your stuck with the witch.

Trying to be more self sufficient in dealing with opposing CC.

 

[TenTimes]

That balloon death splash looks like the most efficient way to do it, if you can (and CC isn't dragon obviously).

 

[Instinctive]

Or just put the Kill Squad in your army and ask for the other troop in cc (e.g. Loonion just replace 6 skulls and ask for a cc of skulls) to make it easier.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Or just put the Kill Squad in your army and ask for the other troop in cc (e.g. Loonion just replace 6 skulls and ask for a cc of skulls) to make it easier.

Alternately, get someone to agree to build the whole squad before you post the request and then label it "Troops from (Guy making donations)"

Or just put the Kill Squad in your army and ask for the other troop in cc (e.g. Loonion just replace 6 skulls and ask for a cc of skulls) to make it easier.

This is exactly what I plan on doing.

Deployment would be . . .

Barbs first to harrass

Witch to create buffer zone with skelly's

Wiz death blow

 

[culdeus]

Do we really need 2 witches in the KS? Wouldn't a fur coat and a mix of barch do the same thing?

I'm probably running

3 barb

1 witch

2 wiz

1 giant

----------

24 spots (math check )

with BK and CC with a drag and minions on reserve if things run off the rails.

barbs to move, then distract, lay down fur coat, then witch and wiz. Set king down behind that with hope it doesn't take any damage right away. If I had a queen would be much more effective to get queen out right then, but so it goes.

Kill Squad?

I feel like I stay about 30 pages behind on this thread. I'm just moved past Gob Raids into Barching. Can't wait to GoWipeeeeee.

Only risk with a Giant is it walking away towards a defensive building, dragging your kill squad towards the base too soon.

 

[Pigskin Fanatic]

Who is toast. Is that a real base? If not then we are down to two spots

its mine, added it to FBGS two wars ago to fill up to 50 when we couldn't find a chase without war timer. it's technically not a real base, started it around thanksgiving and sat as early th5 until last week when we needed the 50th. feel free to boot as needed, can come back as needed also. i think i'll actually max it out to th7.

Tried this last war. The timing on the drops has to be perfect. It's tough to micromanage until you really get it down.

I did it on a tablet once. Worked fine. Only lost the barbs, the wiz and witches lived to the end versus a blob of archwiz

 

[Black Box]

I think a benefit of putting it all in your CC is that it deploys correctly automatically.

 

[TenTimes]

Barbs to corral then barb + valk on all is an option too, but I think you have to be pro, only personally have seen it done once.

ok, well we haven't had anyone asking to get in lately so no worries.

yeah, I guess giant isn't a solid option. could bring everyone in range of a mortar.

Re Quattro: My brother (Myk's Brother?) can be booted for declaring war. Greg was doing it before, I probably should've mentioned it when he went war AWOL. If he's in he will do what he can, but understands if he is not welcome. He's getting there - just got first dragon barracks and spell factory is upgrading. Another week and he'll have LVL2 dragons and nearly maxed barracks.

Huge benefit. Expect fat fingering to ruin some raids if you do this manually. As to whether 2-1-2 is the best combination. Search the supercell forums. Its time tested.

 

[PatsWillWin]

Are we going to attempt anything in this Quattro war or are we white flagging it? I could use some practice so I don't mind, but I don't to screw around if we're going to see how it goes first or something. Is there any conceivable winning formula?

Wiz before witches. If the witches come out too soon, they can get targeted. Just sayin.

even with L1 drags, he'll be useful in war, if he has the elixer to spend. Does he not want to war, or is he concerned about not being useful? Best way to learn is to get input from the clan, I figure.

I'm not in quattro, but boot the two of you IMO.

 

[GroveDiesel]

In Quattro, I think our only chance is if they are awful attackers. So maybe let them get in a good chunk of attacks first and assess then? Thoughts?

L1 dragons can take down almost all TH7.

2-1-2? Which unit is which? Not up on that lingo.

2 witch

1 wiz

2 barb

I've got witches, wiz, hogs, pekkas, dragons, and minions (all max) in the oven for war. Request as needed and I will fill everything I can.

Witches spawn skeletons instantly, no? The skellys would run right behind the barbs. The wiz are placed on the wings.

We're not going to completely punt it IMHO, but if you are tight on resources, feel free to use the wait and see approach.

Even if it gets out of hand, I still plan on going for practice at the very least.

How long did you let matchmaking go?

I was managing FBGS matchmake last night and I swear at 10:01 we got a match. I was gonna kill it in the 9th minute but got distracted. It's not the worst matchup ever, but they still could take the wood to us.

It is really tough to get a matchup with our current composition. I think it went for ~20 minutes, maybe?

We are looking at 4 TH10s (versus our 2) and 8 TH9s (versus our 6). And with only a 20 on 20 war, we are way behind the 8 ball on this one.

Not instantly. There is a brief moment as she gathers her thoughts. I dunno. They come out of the cc: barbs, then wizzie, then witch. For a second you think you are toast and then the skellys arrive. The only time I've seen the brute squad fail is when it gets totally flanked or placed way to close to the action and gets overrun. You want the enemy running straight towards you, out of the range of defenses.
