I've been trying to use baloons and minions to get to champions league, I'm at 2900 and I've hit a wall. I'm loosing trophies and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
What I need to know is:
•the right balance of baloons and minions (currently 20/70)
•spells each raid (currently only if I'm struggling)
•type of base
•when to use spells
Edit: heros are lvl15 (only used when struggling), baloons 6, minions 5
Okay your gonna need to not be stingy with spells. If you dont use a spell and get out a needed defense its can be such a large hit on your attack that it can be unrecoverable.
Have you watched a lot of witelightings videos on YouTube? His yt name is mystic 7 and he is the best looner IMO.
You have your TH outside? If not put it out. In m1 your in range of champion players and many of them will snipe you. I was getting sniped for 1-3 trophies ilwhen I was at 3000 cups on probably 75% of my defenses.
What are you attacking for? Don't rush your raids, thats the biggest mistake. Don't be afraid to keep hitting next. Your welcome to come take a look at some replays if you need help, but mystic-7 is the best at it.
Thanks guys I'll check whitelightning, also I'll leave my th out thanks for that tip. 👍👍
If you have lvl 8 camp, i would say go with 32 balloons and 40 minions, and if you have lvl 7 camp, go with 28 balloons and 40 minions. Bring 3 rage and 2 freeze spell, that's what i use. But if you want a 2 star on most battle, then your freeze spell need to be at least lvl 4 or 5.
Personally I used GoWi-whatever, and getting to Champs was quite simple (I've used balloons a lot to farm, but am nervous using them for cups vs maxed defenses). There are a couple of things I'd recommend though, which are relevant to using balloons too:
- Master the art of getting 2-star wins, or 1 star if you really mess up (*)
- Look hard, and make sure you are attacking bases you can beat, that offer 30+ cups
- Keep your loot low, and do not be afraid of logging off
(*) I guess you could also master the art of getting two 1-star wins in a session.
Basically I would only attack 2-3 times per day, each time was an all-out attack (i.e. heroes, 5 spells, CC if required to snatch 50%), and usually I'd win 20-23 trophies, sometimes ~11 for 1 star, only got a single loss which was OK. On defense, I'd usually lose around 8 trophies, sometimes as few as 1, at most around 15 IIRC, even got a couple of defense wins near the end. Usually, I'd go on defense with both heroes dead, occasionally my AQ might be up, but I'd always have a full CC for def.
But basically, I always looked for targets well above me, and from 2900 I found that on defense I was always attacked within a couple of minutes of logging off and almost always by someone way above me (most of the bases you get offered in Champs are people in M2/M1). So on average, I made at least 20 cups per day... it was just a matter of plugging away for a few days, and bingo...
Currently, I'm at 3301, and while finding good offers is getting harder, it's still possible for me to find Champs above me if I look for a few minutes...
