trophy week. Im at 2050 trophies but what now?

My clan is on its first trophie week ever. And it is my first trophie hunt too.
But I lack the experience,

I am now at 2050. I changed my game play. I raided a lot during farming. I often did not even wait for my army to compleet. Now I attack only with a full army, king is awake and with at least 1 rage spell.
But with the longer waits between attacks, i get raided more too. I can only progress very slowly now.

I have only 1 barrack that can generate dragons (i only upgrade that one to upgrade dragons), so a full dragon army is no option. I tried with a mix of dragons and other troops but I did not like that.

Do you have any suggestions what to do. What is your strategy at 2000+?

Could you post us a pic of your base? Maybe there might be something wrong with that, which might be why you are getting raided and losing. It's pretty hard to get a good base with the Town Hall inside.

My th is in my signature: 8.

Im not at home and I play on a ipad so I cant show a pic of my base now.
But most raids were with dragons. And I was upgrading an AD.

edit: I see that I need to change my signature now ;)

if your archers and barbarians are high level, and your army camps fit a total of 220 troops. Consider the underestimated combination of barbarians and archers. Let 2 barracks do barbarians and the other ones do archers. At battle use two fingers to attack from two sides at the same time. Deploy barbarians first "spread them in a semi circle way", they will work as mini tanks and after that using the same method deploy the archers. 90% you will 1 star the opponent no matter how advanced his village is. True you will be winning less cups per attack, but do consider that now per hour you are attacking more. I managed to reach 2100 using this way, but had to stop for farming. damn the devil.

Im th 8 so I have only 200 troops. All maxed.

I did my setup in the builder:

defense is maxed exept airdefense (4) and tesla (1, 2)

It is my farming setup but with my TH put inside.
Its a different setup then most. caus I didnt want a basic grid design.

Edit: I think the left mortar and wiztower are swapped

Now I'm at 1900 but I'm definitely coming higher.. I've never hunted before but 2.1k at least I think I can reach. Credit to TNT for the base.

getting to 1900 was no problem at all. But when I reached 2000 it was a total different story

Same. I'm a th8 , currently on 2065. Easy to get to 2000, after that its pretty hard (especially when you don't use spells and ur BK is upgrading.)
I am using 10 wb, 105 archer, 15 giants and I usually ask my clan to fill the cc with lvl 6 giants !

Without my king and a rage spell I dont go on a raid. I got kicked too much without them.

What's your normal army composition?
Swirling archers can get to 2000 barb/arch can get to 2200, but after that it's all drag...

I use giants, archers, barbs, wb and gobs. In different setups.

When I use dragons I take also minions with me. Dragons to take out the airbombs.

That last statement is not true.

All drag if you dont know how to play but for those of us that know how to play the game, we dont need to spend 400k elixir and 4 spells to win a battle. :p

10 wbs 12 gians 80 archers with rest barbs.

I managed to move all the way to 2400 trophies.
You just need to learn which base should be avoid.

There are many easy trophies out there you just need to skip a bunch to see them. (Just like big loots).

I hit 2450 with level 1 troops

You don't need dragons until you start seeing level 9-10 walls. Then dragons and pekka + 4 spells is a must.
You just can't afford to waste time attacking walls while your troops get obliterated by his defense.

On a different note, why does your clan decide to go for trophies?
You raid and save up HARD earned resources, going for trophies will deplete everything you have. And then what happens after trophy week? You drop your trophies and go back to farming? At that point you will have no resources and low trophy count. What is the whole point?

My advise is just stay at your trophy range and continue to farm. Going for trophies especially in the 2k range is a fast way to get rid of your resources. And then there is the frustration of losing 25+ trophies on an attack and needing to raid 2-3 successful raids just to break even...

Good Luck sir.

As mentioned, barbs/archers is a great way to save on elixir and attack frequency. But do note that you need to be selective in your choice of targets. Not all bases are vulnerable to this troop combo. Evidence for viability of barbs/archers(wbs)?: check out some of the 2500-2900 or even higher bases and note what troops they use. Be patient, it takes awhile getting used to these troops after farming for a long time. Good luck! :)

caus its a change off pace. Farming is always the same.
thats why i also change my army setup every week or so and been sub 200.

And i still have all my builders working :rolleyes: So it only has costed me some upgraded walls

Trophy week is almost over. In 1 week i climbed from 1400 to 2145. Next time i'll try to reach 2300. Then i would be in my local highscore
