I got to masters as th7. It was pretty easy (th sniping mostly) up until crystal 1, which was brutal. I want to get another 700 gems so I can get my last builder. I don't think any of the achievements but the champion one can get me so many gems as easy at this point.
So anyone whose done the trek to champion as th7, whats your advice? Will it be as painful as crystal 1 or worse? Any tricks? Best times to log on? How many th snipes per session? etc...
Err, it seems like you are underestimating the difficulty of this... by a lot. TH snipes become incredibly rare after you enter masters, and I highly doubt anyone can get to champ right now just off sniping. The only TH 7 I recall ever making it to champ did it with drags (I think?) and by nibbling 50% off bases. Much much harder than getting to masters.
I don't see how level 2 dragons can do much in masters. You can't get 50% either as there are so many walls for th10s which is 95% of what I see. Would th8 be easier? Higher level dragons maybe?Quote:

I'll be perfectly honest, I have no idea how that one guy got to champ as a TH 7. He must be an absolutely awesome raider is all I can figure out. But, yeah, the higher level your TH, the stronger your troops, the easier it gets. Keep in mind, though, there are only a handful of TH 9s who have ever even made it champ (well, since TH 10 became dominant that is).Quote:

When you use a small amount of troops (preferably archers) to pick off farmer's exposed town hall. The higher you climb, the less farmers there are which results in less exposed town halls.Quote:

It doesn't take long. Took under two weeks. Not sure exactly how many days but it was definitely within one CoC two week season. From ~800 to 2600. Its not hard specially at the beginning. Hardest part is training yourself to just look at location of th once the bases are too strong to 50%. Its also easy to keep up with upgrades while doing this.Quote:

So then I would use the shield to wait until I was committed to gaining another 30+ trophies. At the end I'd stay on for about 1.5 hours just to net 5-20 trophies. On weekends I'd stay on 4 hours and go up 200+ trophies. But you don't have to dedicate so much time, it will just take longer over all.
I'm still kinda skeptical on how hard people say this will be. Its incredibly boring for sure. But with loot bonus at 75k, I can do almost 200 searches per win. That's why I am hesitant to upgrade to th8. The searches will cost more and thus make it harder to keep up with the costs.
Good work!
From my recent push to Masters, I'd say sniping to over 2800 is not impossible, but it's a wild guess these days as to how far you might get. With the new loot rules, more are putting their TH outside when they are sitting on millions, but that's just what I'm seeing around Crystal 1, it might not translate higher up because of the lack of snipers (e.g. if my TH9 sees an offer 400k of each and 3k DE, I'll take the open TH and then go for at least half that loot as well - nothing to lose). I certainly saw the occasional snipable TH up to Masters 2, back under the old loot rules, but they were extremely rare, like maybe 2 out of hundreds if not thousands of searches. I only got to 2822 as TH9, and that was full army raiding not relying on TH snipes, my patience wasn't infinite and at that cup level my loot was flat-lining (the winable bases got me no loot). Also, by that stage I was getting hit with revenge for -42 at times, which is a lot to make up.
p.s. FYI I saw a TH6 get to Masters this week, I was stalking them trying to get a revenge, but they eluded me. The last 100 cups took them about 2 days, and they were on for hours at a time - all archers, giants in the castle. I saw them get to 2595, then lose, then lose again, then it was 11pm so I went to bed... the next morning I saw they had finally made masters, and then dropped right back to gold 3. So yeah, anyone can get to masters if they are persistent, but it's hard work and going even higher, well it just gets harder still.
Very dragons. Much 50%. Hours. Wow. Very challenge.
Thanks for the info!Quote:

I tried to keep my gold reserves near 0 every time I had my shield down and was going to log off. My upgrades are only 200-1.25 mill gold, so it wasn't hard to keep up with them. But if I had to hold 3 mill for a couple of days, it'd be very painful. Not to mention that th10s would see alot more available to them.
In other words, I'm tempted to see how far I go now, because as a th9 or even a th8, sniping doesn't really pay off and may hinder my upgrades. But doesn't sound like I'll get too far :/
Once you hit master 1 there are 1 in about 2k searches with th outside you won't be able to snipe your way though master 1 a th 7 if you no life the game master 1 will be as high as you go in my opinion probably less even but you can't snipe your way though master 1
I'd be very interested to hear how you get on, nothing is impossible,...Quote:

And many would just crush you on sight, or stalk and revenge you, just because they can, nothing to do with loot, you are a fish out of water.
First of all, English is your friend. Second of all, where in the world did you get the data that there is only 1 snipable town hall in 2,000 searches? I would like to see the thread on this.Quote:
