Just as I'm headed to TH11! I really enjoyed 10 and with the changes of late, I think you will too. Unlike before, you can 3 star now without the hand of God performing a miracle.

tldw notes:

- CC bowlers, 8 wiz 4 healers 12 giants 14 hogs.  He takes 3 rage 1 heal. 

1. Choose entry point near queen

2. Destroy outer defenses with either loons or hogs (if necessary)

3. Drop giants healers.   Drop wizards to create funnel (hold 2 or 3 for cleanup). Drop queen.

4. Once funnel is created drop bowlers and king.

5. Poison queen and cc. Rage first compartment.   Rage through the 2nd set of walls

6. Targeted hogs

Damn Daniel that makes me want to go full AZ Ron and max out some bowlers

 

[MindCrime 609]

I just got raided by someone named @PatsWillWin . Coincidence? Oh, and :flex:

[PatsWillWin 669]

Well that's embarrassing.

Just getting back into the game after a long break. Still rusty.

 

[beer 30 3,311]

For iPad users, since the last update my game just randomly closes, constantly. I'm waiting for it to happen during an attack at which point I'll get back to the group on the aerodynamic capabilities of said iPad. Anybody else experiencing similar issues? Any known fixes?

[freeannyong 143]

Have you installed the optional updates? I would double check the app store to see is something is available. 

[TripItUp 3,942]

Honda Guys:

1) I'm about to put my queen down for the next month or so to get her up to level 25, do you want me in the wars sans queen or should I wait til my queen is back?  My feelings won't be hurt...I realize with my war weight you probably really need me at full strength to add value.

2) I think we need to talk about our strategy as some of our top TH9s migrate to 10...we had some wasted attacks up high last war that would have been better served on lower bases...just didn't seem like the ideal strategy.

 

 

[Clayton Gray 2,112]

1. Don't war without your queen.

2. Zero chance we were losing that war, so we were taking shots.

Can you post a link to the Honda board?

[TripItUp 3,942]

I have a question about the 9.25 strategy.

By going 9.25 you open yourself up to being more likely to be 3 starred, however you also lessen the war weight so those factors would appear to offset one another.

As long as you're equaling or bettering the star production of opposition bases which have an equal war weight, it really doesn't matter what your war weight is right?

A few wars ago, we ran into a clan with six TH9.5s. Our top base was a max TH9. The extra walls, extra building HPs, and five more CC troops made them more difficult to 3-star. Their good attackers had little trouble wiping out our top TH9s - even the bad attackers had good results.

[Cliff Clavin 3,182]

Are walls a no-no for .5? Not sure if I should build them with JR or not. Would like to so I can keep my gold down.

I'm doing this with gold (in order):

• Clan Castle - upgrade
• Giant Bomb - add new one and move it to TH9 max
• Skeleton Trap - add new one and move it to TH9 max
• Seeking Air Mine - add new one and move it to TH9 max
• Air Bomb - add new one and move it to TH9 max
• Send the above to TH10 max
• Archer Tower - add new one and move it to TH9 max
• Cannon - add new one and move it to TH9 max
• Send the above to TH10 max

Then walls.

Of course, I haven't gotten the new archer tower and cannon down yet. I might want the extra walls before then. Who knows.

[culdeus 7,231]

You need the walls for no other reason than it makes you a harder queen walk.

[Chappy 97]

I'm currently sitting at max TH 9 in regard to defenses.  However, my walls are still skulls, I still have barracks to upgrade both dark and regular for baby drags (have 1 for baby drags done). Need to upgrade valks (only at level 1), golems (only at 3), pekkas (3), minions (3), witches (1) and hounds (1).  Is it recommended to upgrade to TH10 just to get the extra stuff at this point?  I wouldn't think.

 

BTW, I don't have the skeleton spell, and level 2s for poison and eq, while only level 1 for haste.  Jump is only lvl 1 as well as freeze.

I wouldn't think of upgrading in your situation.

Do not upgrade. Get valks and golems to L4 at a minimum. Get the heros to 30/30 as well.

[culdeus 7,231]

I am a little surprised to see after a month or so of friendly challenges that very few opponent clans in any of the wars I'm in show much improvement in talent or creativity. 

It costs nothing/little to run a bunch of bowler runs/hghb/pents.  

[freeannyong 143]

The clan we are just finishing with showed about 0 effort. They pulled the ccs on the top 3 bases, and even then then still brought quakes and no poison. Not sure what their line of thinking was other than IDGAF

[=Smackdown= 708]

Honda dudes - please opt Jonathan out. He wil not be able to war until later this week.

and apologies for not opting him out before we left

Speaking from experience, this is a true statement.  I went to 10 with 15/15 heroes and it hasn't worked well.

Smack you know the rules of Honda, parents are responsible for their children & friends. We'll be expecting you to provide 6 stars before 7pm tomorrow night.

TIA,

Honda

[culdeus 7,231]

Really, at this point if you are an early TH9 and want to play as a late TH9 the easy way is to just buy one. The cost is manageable even up to 30/30.  I'm hearing no name change bases running like $75 and name change in the 125-150 range for 50-55+ hero range on up.  

And the flipside of that I would really consider dumping a TH9 on the market and going to a slightly more rushed version of your own base at TH10 with camps done, and most of the key labs done already.  I've personally witnessed just in the past week 2 people dump their 30/30 for a TH10 that had all the labs and #### done for a 35/25 and 25/25. and only paid an addl. 60-100 bucks out of pocket.  

It's nice to just have the camps and labs done and you can concentrate on heroes.  Now these bases you get tend to carry lots of weight, but with valks and bowlers as strong as they are it's usually not an issue anymore like it used to be.

The real value though is TH9s, I mean that's like a year of hero grind to slog thru.

[Cliff Clavin 3,182]

So we in one here? Looks like a solid clan.

[freeannyong 143]

It appears so Cliff. They only have 3 defensive th10s tho so I'm not sure how to manage the attacks yet. 

[Statorama 2,883]

Maintenance break.  I'm 3 days from having Bowlers, so they're probably being nerfed

9s htfu and hit Twice 

While thst happens:

The 40 40s each take one shot at an 11 looking for 2. 

Non 40 40 Hit .5s

11s hit the 3 10s 

Then:

Check dip count.  

Fire for effect on 11s

 

[Clayton Gray 2,112]

Honda wins a tie!

[culdeus 7,231]

RIP win streak.  

There is another pot luck starting tonight.  The lack of TH9s makes this hard to work out. Need 15 total.   They seem to be making the heavy weight class more heavy lately.  Maybe that works out to like 10 TH9 before long.

[freeannyong 143]

Good run y'all. Got out bowled and had some 99%s that hurt. I think they had 6 guys with Max bowlers against our 2. 

And every 11 get bowlers upgrading, even L2 can wreck 10s as we saw this war.

If anyone wants to stop by and see some bowlers let us know and we can lower the bridge.

I'm sending over one of my sub accounts.  Please lower to 2400 when you get a chance please.

2.  It took me far longer than I care to admit to realize that

was supercell.

3.  The first time I stumbled upon a base with an active BK I was startled and immediately clicked "next".   Just to be safe.

I like the noise Halloween cauldrons make so I kept a lot of them in my village. I tap them when I'm in bed, and I fall asleep with a smile on my face.

The sound can be helpful, if you pay attention.   You'll know when you've started pulling the cc, if you've missed dropping troops, when some troops have died, etc.

Back in the old days when I was doing TH snipes I surrendered almost immediately when a tesla popped up and started zapping my archers. "WTH is that???" followed almost immediately by "I GOTTA get me one of THOSE!"
