Did someone here used to AQ walk and then spam gobs using jumps to get DE

It is taking me way too long to get DE needed for AQ upgrades since the update. Need to do something to double it. 

Any suggestions

AQ Walk + screen lick should be all you need.  I bounced between:

5 healers 8 giants 8wbs archers

5 healers 4wbs loons ~20 minions

Always 3 lightning 2 rage 1eq 1poison

Masters 3 to Champs 3.  Next until find at least 4500.  Usually takes no more than 10-15 nexts in that range.  With bonuses average a take down net of 5500.

Post update DE farming with queen was absurdly easy.  I can't imagine doing it without her.  

It also has paid tremendous benefits in war.  Doing a bunch of AQ walks across all sorts of bases help you get in tune with her AI better than watching a 1000000 videos.

Do you zapquake the IT right at the start of the raid or is it an emergency if she core dives early?

This is where experience matters.  You need to be able to eyeball if you will need to get it or not.  Obviously if an IT stands between you and the storage then may as well get it out of the way ASAP.  If you can skirt the IT with the queen and then have loons come in after queen takes out some air d then that's another situation.  If you can funnel like 16 loons straight to the core with rage then that's usually gonna get the job done and save the zaps for next time.  I think you can also get away without zapping infernos using giants far easier than loons.  Loons tend to be squishy when facing sweepers and other core point d like teslas.  Giants don't have such issues.  IIRC it takes an inferno like 1:20 to kill a single giant.  Get 5+ in the core before the queen arrives and you got it all.  This is also the reason why I stopped using CC golems for war.  They are not good complements to AQ walks.  Much better to have 7 giants if you have healers in the mix if going for a safe 2, hound skull obv. for the 3.

Makes sense thanks. Have loons with AQ walk been working better than furs for you? I've been going with furs mainly due to build time, loons take forever.

Best suggestion: Don't go to TH11 until you have AQ40 ;)

Our current war scoreboard debunks that notion.  We are getting destroyed by a genetically-engineered war machine.  Some fun facts about this 35v35 war.

- They have 23 3* right now and 3 attacks left

- Them:  9 TH11, 15 TH10, 11 TH9      Us: 6 TH11, 15 TH10, 11 TH9   3 TH8

- Their #34 is a TH9.5 with L21AQ and L20 BK

- Their #15 is a 10.5 with L33AQ, L30 BK, L10W.  He had 6* vs our TH10's.  This is where doc wants our top TH10 to move to I believe

- They AQ walked, LaLooned us into oblivion in TH10 land.  I don't think we've ever seen a hero mismatch like this and we sure haven't faced air clans much.  Some of our bases have gotten to where they ignore air and we paid dearly this time.  (Down xbows, AD easily gotten by walks).  My base had 3 airD destroyed by heros.  :(

I only say to stay at TH10 because it is easier to get DE, just as staying at TH9 till AQ30 is easier than trying to play catchup at TH10.

The current scoreboard shows how poor of attackers we are and how easy it is to game the system to get lopsided matches.

The way we look at a TH9 GoWiPe is how they look at most of our generic attacks. Maybe we need to move away from "just get 2*" on a TH10 and start playing for 3* each time. Might cost us a war here and there but it'll be worth it in the long run.

I went to TH10 before AQ30 because I hated seeing the lab idle. Since you get a new DE pump at TH10, I'd argue its not much harder to get DE at TH10. I like that I'm now past AQ30 and have some max troops to go with it and haven't added much war weight. On the other hand I get run over all the time in normal raids so theres a mental factor there.

 
The real flaw was people jumping out of TH9 to compete at the TH10 level when TH9 was still really difficult. In hindsight, this was difficult to project as a possible outcome.  (TH9 becoming fairly easy to 3* as a TH9).  

TH10 hasn't had any offense help since Hounds really.  Extra dark spell is really not all that useful to TH10.  CC's are all hounds.  Double poison doesn't help much and going no poison and 3+1 eq isn't really a 3 star strat anyways.  

If you are really struggling and are committed to something big then going 9 to 11 would be the potential play.  Bypass TH10 altogether as a very high hero 9.  A 30/30/5 for example has a lot more firepower than a 40/40 and can be had in a matter of weeks, not several months.  

It all just depends on your goals, but for sure TH10 is a wasteland right now. 

In farm wars I haven't seen many big hero th10s in awhile.  It's certainly an advantage to have if the next update really helps TH10, alot.  For me the TH11 gameplay just seems boring that's why I'm avoiding it for now.

For the newer walkers with lower level AQ's who see mostly TH9s in various stages, try 2 rage 4 eq with the same archer makeup Culdy describes here. Send giants and archers to clear outer layers, send AQ with healers to start the walk and EQ in the direction she is walking to have her walk right in to the center de storage and th. Rarely fails to net 2k+ DE. If the DE pumps look full and is sitting on opposite ends, I may send AQ without clearing the outer layer and hit the other pump with the giants, but this doesn't always work as I've had the AQ path away from where I break the walls with EQ if the outer layers aren't properly cleared. I tend to wait until I see where the EQ wants to go before I drop the EQ in these instances and use the BK to help with pathing.

I was rushed going to 9 lab wise. Hadn't touched pekkas/valks/minions, WBs were short a level and then all the dark spells came so my lab just went idle a couple weeks ago when my heroes were 28/28.

Pros and cons of both but I think staying at TH9 comes out ahead. Just too easy to crush other 9s and not have to worry about infernos and getting raped by other TH10s... As a 9, I get hit by 8s more than I do 10s.

Let me be clear, for the moment I can see no reason to leave TH9 early to go to TH10 to pursue catching up heroes at that level.  Whatever they will be doing for TH10 balance is going to be apparent in less than a month. It's possible they don't see a need to balance TH10, and at that point make your decision around that.  

 
What is the android way to record attacks? Would like to save a couple from these guys.

Also a L3 inferno does fall to max 3 zap and L3 quake 

 
I paid the $0.99 and got AZ Video Recorder. It's really effective.  You can draw diagrams on the screen which is really valuable for explaining exactly what you mean to noobs.

 
Honda crushing current opponent.  Every TH9 but one is 3* and we still have 6+ TH9 attacks left.

In other good news, I attempted my first AQ walk in war and 3* their #4...woot.  I know you all care.  Deeply.

Need video evidence please.

Trying a walking GoValk again later today. 1st attempt at it got clocked at 97%. 

 
Oh, and Jonathan has continued to tear it up in war as he earned a six pack!


He was pretty pumped this morning before he left for school - telling me he had two 3 star attacks. I didn't believe him - knowing him he's looking forward to showing me as soon as I get in the front door later.

 
Here are two fun replay sets

Last night was setting up for a Death of a TH10.  Was running the walk as was planned for our 1, the war was an overmatch.  You'll see no king.  Both raids I used my standard farming army and hit both bases completely fresh.  The second one was nuts.  Take note of the clock when the raid actually starts.

He's rocking it!

And for the first time ever, Honda's TH9s 3-star all of our opponent's TH9s. We are all now deleting the game.

Nice freakin zap.

 
The FPC chats are nearly 100% on how the matches are all too hard/easy.  They had to change something.  I thought for a month or so from late Dec. to Feb. or so the matches in random wars were pretty good.  

Last 4 random wars I've done Extreme overmatch blowout loss, extreme undermatch left 1 star on board, hunted by mod clan lost by a billion, then last war was an extreme undermatch and got a perfect war.  

:yawn:

 
Anybody having trouble signing into their accounts?  Google play made some kind of upgrade, and now I can get into one account but not the other

Same issue for me this morning. I switched from yoga to smn and was forced to create a "gamer tag". Haven't been able to switch between accounts since. Hopefully just a bug with the update.

Yeah, I'm not able to change on my android devices, but can get on ok on ios.  There are several workarounds people are posting on reddit, none of them seem to be working.  I was able to change once after using the "halt" google play store workaround but I'm stuck again and that no longer works.
