I guess it means they don't attack. They rely on their defense to get trophies or just collect resources from collectors

You can see them in the top 200 players with no badge and no def wins or attacks. The def wins don't show if you never attack so while it says 0 there they actually are winning some def attacks.
There's also coolwhip from bonbee canada
Good tip, didn't know this!Quote:

coolwhip
toy soldier

me (predator)
scotty1080 (not sure that number is right sorry scotty)
There are many. It takes a lot of work designing but means you can get to high cups without spending a fortune.
Pred
Sounds a bit backwards. Most would have spent thousands on their base.Quote:

Although I do see the appeal in the strategic side of defence and constantly changing/tweaking your base. It's just a shame that the balance is currently heavily against you. Maybe after a little rebuff from Supercell you can see more rewards for your efforts in Defence.
Looks like I have a new favourite clan to spy on now, thanks! Re-designing this afternoon. :D

LOL. You have very good points stitch but this game would be a serious drag for many players if it was easier to defend than attack so am pretty sure there will always be a bent toward offense.
It is pretty amazing if there are top 200 players relying purely on defense. I'm assuming there would be mass base copying going on in the upper ranks and pushing clans!:p And spies on them as stitch mentioned. :D
At my best ive bin rank 114 but there are No defence players in top 200 now. Attack is too OP :/Quote:

There is no doubt this is the fastest way to rise up the leader board IF defence stands a good chance of winning.Quote:

Being attacked within 90 seconds would mean you could relatively cheaply defend many times in an hour.
Is this what you did?
Hardly an achievement if you ask me.
Just throw cash, gem base to max, copy a base design, close app, log in to cancel shield, repeat.
0 difficulty.
Would you still feel the same if the game had a LOT more hidden, and more powerful, traps?Quote:

Agreed, but the way traps are atm, they are completely negligible when it comes to stopping the strongest attack, Gowiwi.Quote:

Coolwhip is at Defence Empire™ :)))Quote:

The game forces you to upgrade to Town Hall 2 during the tutorial.Quote:

It's slow but it seems to work well for him.
out of interest whats is the preferred cc fill for you?Quote:

It's very hard to design a base to withstand a top tier attack, true. Honestly i don't even think it exists, the belief has always been that maxed heroes and full spell Gowiwi can 1-star ANY base.
But on the off chance that such a base exists, and made known, then anyone with a huge wallet can just get a maxed base, copy the design, log out, and wait for cups.
My point is, there is no proof that the base design used by these "defence players" are unique. So from a 3rd party point of view, they are no different from a person who download the app today, gem his base to max, copy a base that he sees, log off, gets attacked, log back in, rearms traps, gem heal heroes, gem request cc, and log off again.
For an offence player however, no doubt about it, reaching 3700 by attacking definitely speaks volume about your ability to attack.
I think it is not good to be able to see other people's bases.Quote:

They attack minimally or not at all. My brother is actually in Defence Empire which is a high lvl defence clan.
Luckily we can find this information too by spying.Quote:
