Clash Of Clans - V3 "a new start" - beef free edition

[tng83]

Im on that boost 6 out of 7 nights a week (yes married with kids), with a precook, you can rape people all night and de comes easy...

I did that through th8 and into th9. Don't play quite as much as I used to. With 14 day wait times on almost everything I'll sit on max storages if I boost every night.

[Unforgiv3n]

how long ago where you in Gold II or I?

I don't know, I don't recall there being much in Silver leagues, but maybe I'll try dropping down after I get my Loons to lvl 5.

4-5 days ago

Yea you get to a point where you dont want to have 4 def upgrading at the same time or rip sweet de.

I am on the second half of the TH8 grind.

Lately I have been climbing, currently in Gold I, trying to hit Crystal for the DE loot bonuses (not much but something).

I have no problem with getting resources except DE - and I am dying on it - have two minion upgrades, a valk, a golem, and three King upgrades to go with it. Sniping where I could on lower levels with my Archer/Goblin armies was taking way too long. Been trying to climb the ranks to get more 2* attacks that get me 2k DE, seems easier on the higher leagues.

Been using a GiWiPe army for that (can't drop 900 DE on Golems when I am trying to get DE) but that's good practice for war.

I was killing it before with a Hog / Wiz army but again, too much DE spent.

I really want to get the DE upgrades finished and stick at TH8 for a bit so I can practice the GoWiVa attack. I did it a few times when I first got Valks and it was really a nice attack (assuming the base isn't too compartmentalized), but I am holding off until I can get the Golem and Valk upgraded because of the DE cost.

First few weeks on TH9 is gonna be a lot of that attack before I have to shut it down for all the King and Queen upgrades.

I'm a max th8 and have been sitting with max DE storage for probably over a month at this point. Using giant healer, seems easy enough to get through the core, or at least a few compartments of most bases. I don't think you're ever going to make big amounts of DE off of pump raids.

Oh I know, that's why I switched it up to the GiWiPe raids (just started adding PEKKA this week when I finished upgrading my one barracks). I do like getting the PEKKAs in there, they do help with cleanup.

I haven't done much with the healers of late, I should probably try it again but I found the best DE storages were on bases with interior ADs and the healers were getting wiped out while the giants were taking out the perimeter defenses.

[mauls]

Here's my TH9 farming base, nothing special but works pretty well. Most people just take my Town hall and leave my loot alone

I typically look for bases where it will be easy to hit at least 1 AD, especially if there is some space between it and the other 2. Even if healers get knocked out, they really only have to keep giants and/or king up through about half the base. On a lot of bases I'll use a heal while giants are working on outer defenses to help get them in to the AD. Sometimes, if it's a 4 sides kind of base, I'll just attack the non AD side and accept that healers will die fairly soon after dropping them, but I'll have at least punched a hole through some defenses and walls first. Then can use heals if necessary to help get a little more. For me it tends to work pretty well.

I just use spells and dont worry about ad..

I feel like having the big giants and a queen probably make that a lot easier to do. Level 5 giants are big, but they can be whittled down in not too long.

Meh I did this th8 also, I tried the healer combo, but you have to be more picky... and elixer at th8 is always in abundance

Good stuff, I might try that after I upgrade the healer.

Right now I have been dropping a handful of giants and a rage where I want my attack to start. Then use my wall breakers to bust through (using the rage immediately seems to help), two wiz to start clearing out the sides, the rest of the giants, and then a group of wiz with the King and PEKKAs.

Been mostly getting 2*s as I am just focusing on hitting the core and getting the TH and most of the resources - try to hang on to five or six wiz if I can.

[tng83]

My current. Still the lowest th10 in clan.

[Farley1324]

I had been barching for loot in silver and got tired of never getting all the loot. TH9s with loaded storages look joocy but if you only clear 70% it could leave you with half the available loot. I started lavaloonian and wiping out every th9 with more than 300/300 and moved up to c1. With loot bonus I'm just about 400/400/2k on every raid. Downfall is it takes about 40 min on boost to cook army. I tend to cook an army and raid when I have a few min the queue another for a couple hours from now. Typically get 8-10 raids in per day for 3-4m loot.

Uh what about giants, screw barch, you want storage, you want giants to lead the way

I use giants with barch. Probably 12-15 of em.

Bring more.

BTW that makes it gibarch or BAG, barch is barbarian/archer

Still better than my clan.

I only started playing in April when I found out that my two really good friends from HS play - nice way for us to stay in touch. They are in a clan with some guys the one knows - half our clan is inactive, the other half is rushed TH10's - they wouldn't even be maxed TH7's...

We don't war very often, even though I like it, they are mostly farmers (or maybe embarrassed now and trying to get upgraded before we war too much more).

[RThoe]

I've used the exact same raiding army since going TH9 and that was quite a while ago. It works for me quite well

16 giants
2 healers
66 archers
30 barbarians
8 wallbreakers

I always have heal, rage and poison spells cooked, been bringing jump lately but I will only resort to using any spells if I must to reduce raid cost but I have them if I need them.


BK is at 20, AQ has like five days left until 20 and I have like 105 lavas. Want to do at least 20 or 30 more lavas and continue pushing heroes before jumping.

I hate it when I wake up to a broken coc.

germs aq glitch

The glitch of course was that she shot the TH to begin with, the CC was closer lol

I've been using:

6 wb
34 barbs
50 archers
4 wiz

Kind of want to start throwing minions in. Partly just because I've been holding so much DE lately.

[Cleveland33]

feel free to send additional DE to me

the "glitch" happened right after the xbow targeted her - she was backed against the wall so I think the xbow hit pushed her back a tiny amount, just enough for her position to change and the nearest target to adjust.

[SpeedCheeser]

feel free to send additional DE to me

If there were ways to trade resources, I would have gladly traded DE for gold for the past month.

Just about to jump to 9 though, so will be needing plenty of it soon.

Minions are great for raids. They can take out ground cc troops like barbs, giants, pekka, etc as well as BK if he's exposed. They can run interference for your healers to give your giants more time to take out the air defense. It also cuts down on your raid army cook time.

I always thought of them as an easier way to get to inner buildings, but then you have to pay a lot of attention to AD plus send a few scouts for air bombs. Then it just seemed like only a few wasn't enough and I was never sure how adjust army to bring a good number of them.

I had similar thoughts, plus I generally don't like mixing ground and air troops - I figure, if you go all air their walls, mortors, cannons, and bombs are useless to them. If you go ground, their AD, sweeper, and air bombs are useless. So you're immediately eliminating a portion of their D just by troop selection.

[Farley1324]

That's why I still don't use giant/healer. I hate having to account for air defenses on a ground raid.

I'm all about raiding DE and gibarch + heroes and sometimes spells (particularly jump) rakes in the DE. Simple and effective.
