Yeah, it can work. But I also experienced some very frustrating raids with the AQ doing the kind of stupid things AQs will do. Either going away from the DE store when one step would put her in range or pathing in a such a way that the healers started get shot by an archer tower.
Also, if she gets caught taking damage from multiple buildings plus heroes and possibly CC troops she can take damage faster than the healers can heal and then you'll have to let her rest after the raid. This of course burns time off of your barracks boost.
I've only done one two hour session, but my feeling right now is that fur+barch is more reliable and versatile. Hitting 'next' on fat dead bases because the DE wasn't in the store and the drills were far apart was painful.

On bases like that I use
king on one de
queen on another
minions on the 3rd.
i'm dropping trophies like crazy, but I think it will only get more viable as I drop. I'm gonna run out of elixer at some point though.

Not sure how many wars I've been a part of? Hundreds? Been playing the game for a while now..I'd bet $ culd couldn't 3 star Smack's base.We should make sure to lay out detailed plans on how to 3* all of our bases here.
Other than a troll base where I forget to change it before war I have never ever been 3 starred. Includes getting attacked with Max 40/40 hero's.
Little shocked how much Culd hates my current war base.
IMO I doubt it gets 2 starred - if it does I change it.
My villagers are ready - boiling tar as we speak.

I know he is touting going to 100k in a day but reality is who has time to play 8 hours to test that theory. I got to 100k in about week running 2 hour sessions every night using Furch™ and targeting 1500+ DE bases. It's not that hard, it's fairly quick and allows for flexability should you pull CC troops or run into something unexpected. And you're not dependent on a wandering AQ to get the work done.

I've been 3 starred exactly twice in 2015 one max pent pre update and one shattered also pre update. My anti-air is nearly maxed out.

I'm not going to ever get worked up about getting 2 starred. Not sure why people think getting 2 starred is some sort of failure. Yeah, it would be nice to hold one or two attacks to 1 or 2 stars, but that's more important for TH9 to stop one or two raids before finally giving up the 3. If a TH9 gets 3 by a TH9 on the first shot it's probably time to adjust if the heroes were <30 total.
The base violates several of the base building 101 guidelines. Mainly, the AA are basically naked, the WT are naked and the queen kill is super easy. It's just a matter of time.

Culd, please explain how my base is ranked above Jayrod. Only thing I have on him is 2AQ levels. He has better troops, walls, AT, WT, teslas, small bombs, sweeper and total hit points.

I didn't have the 2nd xbow when the war was started, but just started building it after the matchmaking.
Xbows count huge in those things.

I pulled off the wait until after we get a match and then build an inferno today. Doubt it made a difference, but I was proud of it.

This is my plan for SameAsDay1. TH8 hogger. I will get dragons first simply because I won't have the DE ready yet for level 3 hogs, but after dragons, its hogs n heals. Hopefully my decent TH9 hog skills will translate.

This is what I do. I am a land-raider now. I use a golem lead ground force and there really aren't a lot of TH9 bases that you can't clear the core out with using just one heal and one jump spell. Many you can clear everything if you have heroes up. All that gold and work going into buying and laying out walls, and jump spells just completely eliminate the value.Bucky86 said:

Possibly. I still have been too lazy to line up everyones stuff. 400 or whatever they quoted seems way low.

Im a th8.5 and will be for quite some time. But what are the thoughts of going from a Th8.5 directly to a Th 10 and holding off on building any xbows or infernos? Is there a term for this yet? I figure I still have a solid few months ywt in upgrades excluding xbows, but wanted to see if this path is worth exploring.

Exactly what I did. L3 dragons so I had something I could use and then one DB to L3/4 and Hogs to L3/4. All done now but Hogs 4, which start tomorrow. Would like to be useful in wars beyond the bottom 6-8 bases.

All I know is I have max cannons and archer towers with a pair of lvl1 xbows, but am ranked lower than players with TH8 cannons and archer towers but a pair of lvl2 xbows. Everything else is pretty even.

Does everyone already know about the frozen AQ glitch? Maybe I'm last the find out about this...
If a defending AQ walks over an untriggered hidden tesla position as attacking troops are dropped, she freezes. She won't unfreeze until the tesla is destroyed. And it seems like once frozen, she can't be targeted (not sure about splash damage) by attackers until the tesla is destroyed.
Moral of the story is: don't put your queen and teslas too close together.
I had this happen to a defending base this war and she didn't hop a wall like I expected, so my BK couldn't kill her. Luckily my own AQ was in range and took down the tesla and the AQ after.

Words of wisdom this morning from my 8yr old who just successfully got 3 stars on his first cb attack . . .
"Dad - once the aq and cc are gone you can pretty much 3 star the rest of the base with anything . . . Balloons, Pigs, goblins."
And there you have it. . . . save your trip to onehive, clash heads, reddit.
Kids a better attacker than his Dad.

But did he run around the house 'smashing' things? This is key motivation for 3 stars
=Smackdown=
Footballguy
He's saving that for his 2nd attack - started his hog/heal build before school bus picked him up.
Has his pig hat and club all ready for when he gets home.
I really need to get this on video.

His Dad smashes things too. But, for different reason. We need THAT on video too! Lol.

Its brilliant, actually. They know when someone considers gemming a spell, they reeeeeally need it...and will pay.

Are you guys going to do this?
I think it looks great, watching the people use it last night for the one hive war was great.
It does, however, require a login and a little more work than clashcaller so I would think we would get even less participation.
I setup fbgs on there, someone actually did a war against us using this and it was tracked but they did not fill out much at all so it's pretty useless to see how a previous war would have looked.
edit: hmmmm, pressure would be on, they do some player evaluations on here and track your progress.

At the moment, no. It's hard enough to get people to look at clash caller. Requiring a login is another step to not-going-to-happen.
