All attack methods are fine (imp)
Common complaints on the forums include:
- SQ is OP
- Gowipie is too easy
- Barch is for noobs
Firstly... What I have to say to you is that all attack methods are fine/valid and anyone should be able to use any method. SC gives you a list of troops that you can use and everyone has different play styles (strong armies as opposed to weak armies... raid less vs raid more). There is no "right" way to play clash. There is no obligation to use stronger armies. Farming is about EFFICIENCY.
Secondly .. Base designs cannot cater for all sort of attacks and there is no one size fits all. A small compartments base to counter gowipie will be weak against hogs. That is the reality with clash, you build an army to exploit base's weaknesses.
TLDR: No attacks are OP or too easy. All base designs have weaknesses and that makes all attack methods fine.
