drop cups in fbgs to 2900. I've got 12 hours till the next event.

 

[culdeus]

Of interest perhaps is this event:

https://mobile.twitter.com/BellaSkye_Clash/status/651802943822393344

There are going to be a lot of people around this weight hitting the button at this time. Would be an opportunity to find a MWC class opponent if desired or maybe get the match with that group

What time are they declaring?

TH10 vs a TH9 with weak AD. Should be a 3* every time; zapping or not.

The point is to demonstrate the open. Not flex. It was a th9 spell deck. Second raid is a 9 on 9. The poison is an interesting touch. Keeps her pinned down. Wouldn't have thought of that.

To Cliff's point first thing I noticed was AQ level, second is you have to have a hound in the opponent CC. Honda just doesn't run into that very often.

I like the potential though. I figured it wouldn't be long before someone found a use for L6 lighting after the first vid you posted of a max AQ getting taken out with L7.

Pretty sure you will be needed. If you can pickup low stars without gemming, have at it.

I think this guy is a little short sighted. In this case his heroes do jack ####. No reason why they couldn't take out a drag/loon combo and a few trash buildings. That's basically all they did in this video. Even in the case of a CC hound I'd use them for backside cleanup or to tank something late, not just drop in and die.

 

[beer 30]

Yea i didn't quite get the whole 'hound in the CC thing'. If you were really good you'd pop the CC and zap that #### as it flew through the lightning storm #nextlevel

So arranged wars, 5% of the time they work every time?

8.5s derail every one. That seems to be the common denominator. There are plenty of clans with rushed th9s that hit the button when you do. If you look at our match its only off in the low end 9s

Guessing the mix of TH is a pretty common one.

The major wars that this works for tend to be the much larger sizes. 40/40+

They will be long dead by then. Th8s in mwc are usually gone in about 15-20 min. Then they hit th9s

Back in FBGS now (I am anyways). Some randoms Culdeus knows we're trying to get an arranged war that, predictably, failed to get match. So I gave them a couple lessons on how to crush TH8s and left.

Got a perfect war short of my 90% 2* on the 1. swap in eq and it was 3 on the 5x5

 

[freeannyong]

What is the plan? I want to hit 11 but no clue if anyone called it and see nothing on tools

We arent organized this war. You want it, got get the 2* imho. We need some 3* in the 30's too.

How bad are we that random, arranged wars are more fun than fbgs war.

TH9 meta has totally changed in the last two weeks. Now you see people running what we used to call the shammy before it was the shammy as a "maxattack". Otherwise they are zapping queens and AA structures and running pents.

TH9 3* have never been easier in the last 6 months than they are right now.

 

[culdeus]

Here's my first shot at the AQZAP level chart. This is on the data that says the first 3 zaps net you 14 hits. I put the hits to kill in one column so this can be adjusted quickly. If you use poison first you get 15 hits rather than 14, PLUS the damage from the poison. So keep that in mind. Therefore a L6 3xzap should theoretically be able to take out a AQ29 with 3 zaps and one poison.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwEnEbl4YrneQ1BrU2FfREJUUmc/view?usp=sharing

The tighter patterning of the zaps coupled with higher damage per shot is really, really overpowering.

And just when I thought my 3* this morning on a max TH9 using a TH9 gowipe was an impressive feat. D'oh.

 

[Sputnikv8]

I had my first 2* TH10 that I felt good about in a while....

....bad part is that its against a mirror of the base I'm using!

I've been in a friend's clan for a couple of months or so, and I've lost some of my CoC focus. It seems like the game is passing me by. And I'm trying to reel it back in. Help me out with farming, and war army comps.

Here's some pertinent info:

TH9 - 2 lvl1 xbows, working on maxing other defenses. All four teslas are maxed.

Max troops for TH9, except for lvl3 dragons, lvl1 valks, lvl1 witches and lvl3 golems.

Royalty: BK11, and AQ10

Spells: Max Rage, Lvl5 Heal, Lvl5 Zap, Lvl1 Jump, Lvl1 Poison, Lvl1 Earthquake, Lvl1 Haste

Typically for war, I've been rolling out 32 Loons and 2 Lavahounds, with a CC lavahound (but more often than not, a dragon + 2 Loons because there are only 2 other clanmates that can make hounds). I hardly ever use hogs.

Farming-wise, sometimes I use the same war comp as above (when trying to maintain/gain cups). When hunting for loot on the cheap, I'll usually gibarch. A few AQ walks have been thrown in here and there.

TIA

 

[culdeus]

Gibarch still seems to be the overwhelming strat for farming at all trophy levels for all resource grabs. Many people have tried to trick it up in one way or another, but it's still for time and army cost by far the most effective. I just find it boring.

Would change up your war attacks. If I recall correctly, you would never pull the CC or kill the AQ. Go in with golem, a few Wiz and heroes to take them out first.

 

[PatsWillWin]

I have spent the past couple of weeks figuring out the goblin smash n grab strategy. I'm only in G1-G2, but I have been absolutely killing it. Does anyone else use this?

It's basically centered around dropping four quakes to clear a path to the DE, then a couple of rage spells, and releasing 150-180 goblins who devour everything. It's not great for gold/elixir, but it's easy DE profit.

Yeah, the more exposure I get to people farming silver gold I'm convinced that masters/champs might not be best for really anyone except those that just run snipe scripts. The profits in bronze to low crystal I see pulled in is shocking. The bases are awful, undefended, and people just crush it.

There's sort of a no mans land from Crystal 3 to Masters 1 now. Other than that you can find loot pretty much everywhere.

Your notebook is correct. Thanks for advice.

Apologies if "gmoneyBagel" is a member here. Craig let him in, so, I assume he knows him. I booted him because a th10 with 2 infernos, L10 heros, L1 golems, etc. will not help our current issues get better.

Open for discussion. I made a call.

Correct call. Also didn't have hounds unlocked.

Asked this in Honda, but figured I'd throw it out here too. TH8 Q...

Has anyone experimented with holding back maybe a half dozen hogs in a pure 30-32 hog attack?

I feel like maybe 80% of the time I get through a base with a lot of hogs left (like 10+) OR I barely get through it and the last two or three defenses take out my last few hogs. Wondering if keeping a smallish reserve (backed by a few wiz) makes sense to handle the latter cases?

I would back them (or front) with giants. If there are a few back in defenses to get a small pack of like 6 hogs with a giant tanking is a great idea. Especially if your hogs all clump up and you are short cleanup. Most TH8 hog fails are time fails due to low cleanup available, not just pure fails like TH9 where everything gets killt before the defenses are all down. I've gotten way more th8 exposure lately. It's unreal how good some people are at just trashing those bases. Like 90 seconds and rekt type attacks.

Lately been seeing people try to get th9 3 stars with th8 using a healer-giant-hog combo with either a cc pekka or cc max giants and eq. It can work on the low end bases and 8.5s.

My standard attack is 30 hogs, 11 wiz, 1 giant, 1 arch (assuming CC lure).

So you're saying something like...25 hogs, 6 wiz, 1 giant, 1 arch with a reserve of maybe 3 giants and 6 hogs?

99.9999999999999999% of bases use CC drag. So that's going to burn off 4 wiz right there. Even if they live through the kill odds are they go die somewhere else. I would use at most one giant to tank late. You can't get enough spread to justify more than 1 and toss in more cleanup wiz/arch/whatever.

Tried it in war once. Probably never again....

Raiding I combine it with GiBarch for great success.

I've tried it in normal raids, it worked but was expensive with the hounds. I think Bender has done a bunch too.

 

[Gamma1210]

Anyone have a link to a decent 9.5 war base with the new wall pieces?

 

[culdeus]

Anyone combine loonian with a healer/AQ walk? If so what's your load out and drop strategy? I have had a few embarrassing attempts thus far.

Default is

4 healers.

Fill barracks with loons

Like 18 minions.

Whatever in cc.

Crushes most bases. Must be patient and let queen work for a bit
