I could never bring myself to spend money on this game. It started as a way for me to connect with my son.

You might not be cut out for fbg clans then. Think about what you just said and then come back later & ask for forgiveness.

You guys are definitely no joke. I've thought long and hard, now I'm back and if any of you want to spend any more money, just send it to me and and I'll make sure to do so, while making my clan more suitable for the group.

I have spent thousands this year. Pretty sad actually.

You serious, Clark?

is that selena gomez?

yes sir

 

[PatsWillWin]

We are going to have a legit struggle with Quattraboog's opponent, but there is a ceiling on their total. They appear to be stuck in the GoWiPe rut we all know too well. They are very competent at GoWiPE's (i.e. getting 60%-ish two stars on TH9's). We are going to have to nail down many of those critical third stars.

So where to TH10's farm for elixir? Is it as painful as it is as a new TH9? Is it ever worth it to attack TH8's or is it purely a TH9+ farming world?

Yea, I use hogs as well. Heal spell as needed for hogs.

So if you were to try and go loonian in Masters, would you go broke?

I loonianed my way up for the achievement and was pretty much broke by the end of it. I did a little barch towards the end though.

I know all the sweet spots for TH9, just trying to get an idea what it's like at TH10.

I do loonian nowadays to break the monotony occasionally. I wouldn't suggest it as a new TH10 though, the elixir profit just isn't there fast enough. When I do use looks, I have been having success with 16 loons 80 minions. I never really try to go deep into bases though. I snipe archer towers and back those loons with mins to take out the outer buildings. Very effective for getting 50%.

 

[beer 30]

Doc, what do you do when there is a maintenance break? Start counting backwards from 10,000 & walk in a symmetric pattern? Just curious because it drives me ####### crazy and I actually log off once in a while.

I've been in Crystal 1 with loonian and it's been OK. 20ish loons and 60ish minions. With the loot bonus, if you can find bases with around 200k elixir available and don't use spells you will still turn a decent profit. I have to hit next a lot more than I did at TH9 though. TH8s are generally off the table.

I never got the 5th builder. Glad I didn't as it can create imbalance (defenses get way ahead of lab).

And I haven't spent a dime on this game. And I'm far from the only one. Not necessary at all.

 

[culdeus]

Pakistani 139 war win maxout plan

ALL TH8 attacks focus on base 2

SML 1 - needs 1 - Superfur mania gets 1. suck the cc anchor at 6 and push all in with a jump 2 freezes and rages right at the th. pray

2 - needs 1 can get 2 - Speedwad showed a great blueprint to get 1. Missed it by one building.

3 - needs 1 long shot 2 - TH10 frozen gowoppy might get 2 here.

4 - needs 1 - I think a TH9 can maybe do a loonian on this base for one. Maybe. This is going to be a tough 1.

CJAY 11- needs 2 has 1 ground pound it to 2 and move on

Below need 3. all can fall to a th10gowoppy or a quadhound

30

31

I doubt we need to focus on any other bases till the above are dead. But be my guest if you can add one to a th9.

 

[SkyRattlers]

I'll be hogging 32 in 30 mins once my last heal is finished.

 

[=Smackdown=]

I'm going to slam a Gowoppy into #3 from 2:00 hopefully for 2 stars

2 Rage / 2 Freeze / 1 Jump

Get your cameras ready

Everyone has a plan until you get punched in the face.

In my case . . . opposing CC wrecked my wizzies and golems/pekkas went left & right instead of straight into core.

We'll let him be a little fly on the wall in Quattro. Unless we need the space, at which point we'll ship him over to the island of misfit toys.

I'm working on a TH8 guide for those that want to join the FBGS assassin crew. As a quick preview these are the only reccomended labs prior to starting th9.

This is for those that want to strike fear into the heart of the world. Not be a completionist. This is a max out war guide only.

Don't forget have to build the TH8 lab.

Keep one barrack down for max at each time the entire time in TH8, this includes dark barracks

Defenses max in order (This is done to minimize your war ranking as well as maximize your ability to stop the other clan)

Wizard

Nothing else, do not wait for defenses to max to start th9. Defenses are worthless and don't help. Especially the #### defense at TH8.

Walls are optional but nice. make your goal all purple by th9, but don't stress.

I'll make this a little more splashy later.

Is there anyone over there that can make proper recordings of some of these?

I appreciate the effort of the guy that filmed his screen, but those were difficult to watch and pick up everything.

 

[Jayrod]

I know I wasn't around at the beginning, but this Pakistani win feels big to me. This is the first time where I went in thinking we would lose and we come out on top.

Granted the bell hasn't rung yet, but they'd need a miracle at this point.

Can we stop doing this? Every piece (other than valks) is important at some point. Neglecting big bombs, or air mines, or canons, or walls WILL be a problem at some point. Upgrading all that stuff at TH8 takes time and not having L3 dragons makes you completely worthless at TH8 that entire time for war.

This desire to rush the game and constantly skip stuff because "it's not important" is silly. It almost always ends up creating more problems than it solves and I wish we'd stop with it.

Like I said this is a war max out plan. Dragons and pekkas are not part of it. You want to kill 139 war win clans follow this guide.

 

[creel29]

culdeus, you intentionally skipping hogs also?

 

[culdeus]

culdeus, you intentionally skipping hogs also?

Yes, get hogs going at th9 after you max air.

I'll do a th9 guide soon it's gonna be heavy air early. Major change will be that one of the first buildouts will be witch barracks so you can get hounds to level 2 asap.

 

[freeannyong]

Yes bucky... Need to unlock hounds asap

Drags give us nothing at FBGS anymore. This might be true if the clans you face have more than 5 or 6 non max TH8, but quite simply a max TH8 will not fall to max dragons. Period.

Early TH9 can go in and sweep up those TH8s with a shuke and get 100% every, single, time.

TH8 is a one month TH. If you are a war person. If not, them max it out and play casually.

The right TH to max out is TH7. You can make a lot of wall progress and other progress at that level including getting king to 5 now due to the DE drill and other TH7 having DE.

TH8 is useless for war. Completely, utterly, useless.

 

[culdeus]

Should i upgrade my dark barracks asap?

I could make a convincing argument that the very first TH9 step would be to start a dark barracks to witch. Even before camps. The build times on the two DRax are long. 12 and 14 iirc. That's 40 days more or less to max hounds and world domination.

Wasn't it like two weeks ago people were saying max TH8s that could take down TH9s in war were the major MVPs?

TH10s. For max clanxp. TH8 on TH9 is a waste. There's zero value in a 8 on 9 attack. We can three star any th9 now so the only value for TH8 is to hit TH10 for easy 1s or else hit a non max th8. Any other attack is a wasted effort.

 

[culdeus]

This is clearly the high water mark for us.

Took down a 139 win clan coming off three straight wins with 10 legit TH10s and only 4 bases that were not TH8max or higher getting 28/45 3 stars.

 

[Black Box]

Nice job, fbgs

How do you know they won three straight? I can't seem to find their war log

 

[TenTimes]

Less than a week ago TH8s were:

The competition for TH8 is about to get really intense. You can pull 10-15 of those in and they can donate max level troops and can still snipe for the high clanxp stars. TH8 will be like a 330 pound linebacker out of Louisiana that runs a 4.5 and benches 600 pounds.

My pre-draft stock has fallen like a rock

Assumption based on they hit level 2 already. I guess they could have hit L2 without 3 wins, but odds seem remote.

 

[⚡DEADHEAD⚡]

I have a feeling that my TH8, when maxed, could take out a maxed TH8 with mostly dragons and a combination of skulls and hogs, plus rage and heal spells and an L10 BK. Not much room for error, but I think it could happen.
