Clash of Clans (Official thread) (5 Viewers)

Someone want to recap what went down with our friends? I missed what they wanted and we're up to
They wanted the top 2 from each side out for pots but a real war. I was in there for maybe three minutes and they were freaking out I was taking screenshots of all their bases. They said something about their war log but the sentence wasn't all in English so didn't understand what they wanted. I told them I don't know if we'll put out the TH and was typing up I'll have to get a consensus from our side but got the boot before I could finish typing.

 
Wasn't going to run through this but decided to due to their uber confidence.

Current opponent:

Africa vs FBGS

11 TH10s

Max Golem: 8 vs 6

Level 4: 3 vs 5

Max Pekka: 4 vs 5

Level 4: 2 vs 0

Max Hog: 8 vs 11

Max Witch: 11 vs 10

Skulls: 8 vs 11

Max Hound: 2 vs 5

Level 2: 3 vs 2

Max Freeze: 3 vs 1

25 TH9s

Level 4 Golem: 8 vs 6

Level 3 Golem: 7 vs 4

Level 3 Pekka: 21 vs 15

Max Hog: 10 vs 15

Max Witch: 9 vs 8

Skulls: 10 vs 21

Level 2 Hound: 3 vs 10

Level 1 Hound 9 vs 8

Pretty clear which attack this clan has gravitated towards. From looking at their war log while I was in there I'd expect them to come in around 110 stars give or take a few.

 
Honda lost a close one today...

99 on 74 for China

96 on 75 for Honda

We pushed hard at the end to grab a few extra stars but things just didn't fall out way. Was an awesome war to experience though!

We were outclassed, I started off with a recommended of +13 (usually +5ish), but we could have gotten 100 stars.

My most fun war yet. Pretty happy with the way we came back.

 
Update: Arch 6, Furs, Balloon 5, Wiz 4, Drag 3, King 5, Queen 5, Min 2, Pek/Hog/Val/Gol 1, Light/Heal/Rage 4, Jump 1, Walls 7..... Been farming for 2 months starting to get an itch to drop trou and run train. Yay or nay?

All good thanks

Damn thats just cruel. At least I got three stars last night with level two dragons when others didnt with level 3. Speechless
Sorry man. Tried to give you several heads up in the chat. Your base is killing us in war matchups. You are a TH9 that was slotted at 33 in this last war but your defenses and offense are TH7 level and the lowest in the clan.

You honestly either need to start fresh and max out each TH level before moving up, or just hunker down somewhere and keep your lab going full time for a while. Defenses are less important than getting your troops to a TH9 level. And that includes some DE troops.

If you want to maintain your base and not start over:

1. Upgrade elixir troops - Dragon3, giant6, Balloon6, and/or pekkas

2. Get both heroes to level 5 at least

3. Upgrade golem and/or minions

Gah, you shoulda checked into this thread over the two months. Nice that you've made progress but archer 6 over wiz 5 and balloon 6 is a capital offense.

That said, not sure which clan you were kicked out of before, but the FBG4 leadership may take you in - we have several players that I'd consider a war match up liability. I don't want to speak for them though, and either way, be sure that you are:

1) Able to follow a game plan.

2) Open to reading and taking in advice either in chat or on the forum.

Developmental mis-steps and attacking mistakes are one thing, but not communicating/following the plan are bootable behaviors. That'll apply to all of the FBG clans.

we need one of you fbg1 in Honda full time. I just watched 5 lvl7 Giants in my CC take down a TH7 with 450K of stuff practically by themselves.

 
Thoughts on 26? It has a ring of resources to the center so I have to take out a side before getting to the middle. Should I run a golem and both hero's and kill squad to where the Queen is and then launch from there after the defenses are taken care of?

I'm on the search for 3 star videos of that base as well. I know I have seen it something similar as a popular base

 
Any chance a TH8 from Honda could hop over to FBG1 to watch and learn from the sidelines? Looking to pick up some new ideas...

 
I farm with archers not balloons or wiz.

Yeah the CC witch really foiled it from what I saw. Probably needed to get the CC brought way to the corner to take out the witch asap.

 
All hands on deck for fbgs.

Need plan of attack. Have our TH10's go for 2nd & 3rd stars on their TH9's OR swing big at some TH10's?

 
IMO we don't need to throw attacks at trying to 3-star the TH9's. we have enough successful 3-stars already; we just need to get the 2nd on the few that have only 1.

We can get 8 stars in their TH10. According to cul's math we would be in the clear if we accomplish both of these objectives.

 
Starting to get a little shuked why we can't throw pentgolems at lowish TH10 for easy 2 stars. There seems to be some reluctance to throw big tank weight around. Not sure I get the pushback on this strat late.

 
Their max is dropping, they had two big whiffs. We need all th9 clear to 2 and 5 more stars from th9 3 star or th10 stars to win this.

I will have lvl 3 golems in a few days and then plan to shoot for lvl 4. I'm a TH9 and haven't had much success with lavalooning, so I'm willing to start goxxxxing high for some stars (or failing miserably...).

 
At what point does it make sense to upgrade golems? When I save up to around 35-40k in de, I start to plan for a hero upgrade. As an air attack guy, I have no problem leaving my pekka at lvl2 and my golem at lvl1.

Big golems help with air attacks as luring and AQ handling. They also open up ground attacks. Its good to have as many tools as possible imho.

 
QUATTRO DUDES or friends of these dudes

Alan, ubadumad, money:

You guys have kinda been going rogue on us with not following attack protocol or really paying attention to what's going on pre attack. Tried to shoot PMs to all.

We declare war again tonight, were hoping if any of you saw this you could pop in to the chat before we re-declare tonight.

Yours in the light,

Quattro Czar of War

Both my pekka & golem are at lvl1. I still have some DE upgrades to blow through before I address them at th9, it's just not an attack I ever embraced. I hog/loon/dragon in war for the most part at th9, barch for resources. I'll upgrade them at some point to max but they are kinda like the healer to me. Not a necessary troop in my repertoire right now.

I dunno. Seeing the things some of our air-pro's can do with a Golem and kill squad is pretty impressive. If you are already 3 starring TH9's then, I guess you don't need them is all I'll say.

Uba can consider himself banned from honda imo after bailing in middle of war and not using any of his attacks.

And by middle, rascal means he left about 2 seconds after we found a war match.

But at least he left a real war base behind?

 
Putting this back up again

Ash's penta golem raids. There are several other videos out there detailing the same strat.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSAflWk3xYM

5 golems or 4 and a bunch of super furs seems to be the way to get the much needed 2 stars on the opponent TH10s.

Our air raids vs TH10 have not yielded us much of anything in the way of ZOMG 3 stars yet. With max freezes on horizon, maybe so. Until then this seems to be the most easy strat to deal with TH10.

As an air guy, I've used a golem in my last four lava hound attacks. I'd second getting those upgraded to help with air raids later on. Can use them with heroes to take out AQ/cc and as a distraction to get 3 or 4 hogs to an AA. My pekka is at level 2 and I have no future plans to upgrade that again at the moment.

ETA: Speaking war attacks here. If youre just speaking about farming with no war interest then Id focus on your heroes.

I'm getting to be of the opinion that until you have 20 combined hero levels to punt golems unless you are a superfarmer like doc. Even then I'd put golems behind

hounds

hogs

minions

for DE spend

 
I think this last war proves more than ever that Golems backed with any combination of wiz/witch is a 2 star strategy at best. It took them by my count 30 gowoppy attacks to get a single 3 star and it was a luckbox 3 star on a base with weak-ish walls. (Scott)

There are two viable strats right now until they nerf/change something:

-Hogs

-Hounds

And developing in the background are strats using a mix of furs and valks/skulls/hogs that go where the above two can't reach.

Hogs should be for those of us with functioning heroes and Hounds saved for those without. The ones where they won't work, we can mix it up a bit, but those bases are very rare.

IMO we need to be using TH9 gowoppy against TH10 and saving the TH10 attacks for higher TH10 or higher TH9 that need those extra spells and higher hounds to sweep for the 3 star.

 
TH9 gowipes are a nonstarter versus TH10s, in my experience.
I 2 starred a TH10 with a gowipe last war and I dont even have my golems upgraded beyond level 2.

It really just depends on the base. If you can use a jump spell in a position that gets your pekka to the TH interior, you should be able to 2 star no problem

 
I think I'm going to go try and learn how to be good at this game in a random clan somewhere. I'm not improving (actually getting worse) and feel bad experimenting and sucking in a FBG clan, particularly when I'm the #2 ranked war player. After the next Quattro war I'm going to find a random clan and screw them over for awhile.

Come on over to fbg1. You'll fall into about #15 and can learn with the rest of us. You'll have a lot of people right around your level to bounce ideas off/learn from instead of being on an island.

Don't leave us Myk.. We're winning most of our wars (7 of 9 after this one) with the crew we have.

 
I don't think there's a need for that. There's a lot of pressure on you being at the top of the rankings, but you've had some rough matches lately.

IMO, watching those OneHive videos and other YouTube videos of different types of attacks is far better for improving war performance than just trying to figure it out on your own.

And remember, Quattro is Serious Business, but as long as guys are actively trying and communicating, it's all good. Frankly, I normally learn as much from watching guys above me fail than I do watching an easy win.
