Raiding 101

Thanks again Moe for all your contributions to the community!

Before this post i was stuck on Giant/healer with a mix of tier 1 cuz ihad no problem getting thru the hardest of bases but now that i realized the majority of the bases that we run into are not that difficult this has been a nice alernative.

Naturally, once i switch over i have been seeing more maxxed out TH8 / harder TH9 so i have had to add some WB / giants just go i can get thru the walls.

Been doing recently:
100Archer
70Barb
10WB
10-15Gob
2-3Giant


Like others have posted - ill take 2 adjacent sides that make an "L" like close to a corner. drop simeotaneously on both sides the giants to take initial hits then the WB, barbs and archers in waves after that. not exactly what you recommended but it has helped me insurre 100% resources vs 50-75% after having units getting stuck behind walls and grouping up.

hi, is there any tips u can gif for sub 200 farming, it seems tat 90% of the search is less than 30k loot, once in a while i may find a unguarded 90-100k base. but it seems tat most of it is 1k-10k which is totally not worth looting. i usually stay between 150-190 trophy

I think you should add me to the OP as one of the "thanks for the laughs" peoples.

I'm having the same problem in that I rely on the healer too much (army composition of 19 giants, 1 healer, 5 wbs, 60 archers and 20 gobs). I'm not trophy hunting but I can't seem to figure out the other styles of play such as barb and archer.. Anyone have advice? Just upgraded to th8 so lvl 4 of every troop, around 1200 trophies.

Not so well with level 3 barb-arch against purple walls....:(

Regarding barb arch, should really any archers be deployed before clearing the outside?

yes, very important. Why?

because as you know, barbs target anything, and they are stupid, literally stupid. So by clearing buildings outside, you make sure barbs target the well. Check on the vid in the main post to see how it works.

So before clearing, use barbs to meat shield for archers, then afterwards the barbs are pretty much your main offense?

I noticed that you switched to a 8 WB, 8 Giant, 76 Gob/Archer setup. What prompted the change?

1. How did you know?
2. Eh, I am farming for dark elixir. Or other th9ers.
