So I responded to the guy who made a thread asking for clan war strategy. After writing the response I figured It was A decent informative post that probly deserves a thread. My first. So here goes.
Clan War Tips. Our Clan is 17-3-1.
DO NOT let people bottom feed. that is absolutely <ridiculous> and makes it so the lower and mid guy's in you'r clan have nobody to attack. wich is an instant loss. Probly half the clans we have warred end up having their top 3 guy's taking out our bottom 3. We know we have won the war at that point.
Make sure people log on and attack. After every loss we have gone through and cleared out the people who have not attacked 2 wars in a row. Eventually we will end up with 20 full time players who use both their attacks every war.
Being a co-leader I constantly have to send a clan mail telling the lower guy's to pull and kill the cc troops and hero's. BEFORE launching their general attack. Keep doing it until it is drilled into peoples heads that they HAVE to do that. most of our guy's are doing this now and it earns a ton of stars in and of itself.
Have an active clan where people talk and ask questions. Most people who play this game simply Barch bases over and over and over. they do not know how to put together an actual 3 star attack and execute it correctly. They say "well i have trophy pushed up to master 2!!" So what? That has nothing to do with being able to consistently take out an even lvl TH as you'r own in a 3 star manner. When people ask questions, they learn. If somebody dosnt chat and become an active member of the clan, boot them. find someone who is.
Push you'rself. Try to take out a guy 1 or 2 places up from you'r recomended target. Just dont push to hard to where you have no chance of getting atleast 2 stars. This comes in handy in those close wars where every star counts and theirs still a couple weak bases of the enemy that have no been touched. then who cares, have a th8 guy smoke it, get the 3 stars and win.
Be nice to people who want to learn how to attack better but suck at the moment. Teach them dont berate them. those are the type that will get better and end up being valuable long term members.
