TH Sniping

So im at 2300+ trophies right now as a th8. I am town hall sniping to try and get up to masters. Usually i find like 1 base i can town hall snipe in every 50 or so. However in the last few days i have spent about 500k+ gold searching for town halls outside the base (So like 1000 different players' bases) and found none. I just want to know if anyone else has experienced something like this, and i'm also wondering why this has only started happening now when a few days ago i could pretty easily find town Halls to snipe. It's becoming really annoying because i am wasting a lot of gold, and as soon as i leave the game i get 2-3 starred by a th10. Thanks.

Yep. When I unsuccessfully tried to go for masters, I had to spend over 30 mins trying to find a th snipe with no luck. I was about the 2300+ range as well.

Use barch to get 50% and if that's a little risky then use giants and hope for a 50%.

with higher league bonus I doubt many people skip a snipe anymore so they wont be as common

The higher trophies you get, the less there will be. Nothing strange about this.

Yeah but ive been at this trophy level for about a week, and only in the last 2 or 3 days have i not been able to find any town halls to snipe, it was fine before that.

Maybe it's a sign that you should learn how to actually attack bases instead of looking for handouts from farmers.

Hah maybe it is... But as a th8 I havent got the right level troops to attack th10s and get over 1 star.

Stop town hall sniping. Start farming and upgrade buildings in your base until you feel confident to get to Master League by pushing legitimately (I think TH sniping is not, but that's just my opinion :)). Good luck! :D

You could try barching for one star wins. :) I'm not sure how high that will get you at TH8, although Clash with Cam seems to be pretty confident he'll be able to do it with TH7 (but bear in mind he is a barch pro :)).

I just went for barch 1 or 2-stars until 2300, then did 8 drags and 40 archers until 2600. 2300-2600: I sniped any TH I could find, went for a base that I thought I could take on and went for blackhole bases (there are a surprising amt up there)(I never failed, just don't place all your drags at once, play like 2-4 at a time; most of times only had to use 4 or 6 drags instead of all 8)(only boosted rax 2550-2600)

Thanks, sounds pretty good, I'll try it :)

A bunch of other people are also competing with you now to snipe trophies and rise in leagues to get the boosted bonuses

you just have to keep nexting. i am in M1 with my th outsite as i value resources for than trophies. lately, i have been th sniped by th 9 and 8s. one th8 put me to shame....as he is in 3600 trophies...haha. if he can find th to snipe at that high of a trophy range....so can you. just dont stop nexting.

For spells, I also brought along 3 rage. Most of times only had to use 1 or 2 rage spells per raid.

Did you try to click 'end battle' and try searching again? Or change languages every 15 mins to get a new set of players. Those are just my tips for sniping. There are tons of THs outside, you just have to keep clicking next.

It's about time you TH8s go back to the lower leagues where you belong.

Stop flooding the high level leagues with noob bases.

Townhall sniping is ruining th10 gameplay currently. Every single th10 when we are not pushing is outside, and once we get close to champs it goes outside again... The th10 snipe is taking hundreds of thousands of bases out of the queue by giving them a cheap shield at no cost...


Until loot is added to the TH, high level bases understand that an outside TH is almost a guaranteed snipe.


Supercell needs to do the following things to fix th10 gameplay:


1. Add some loot to the TH. Make it equal to a gold/elixir storage
2. Do something with nexting cost so it doesn't disappear into nothing
3. Lower trap re arming costs, current loot does not warrant 200k plus rearming costs, it's really crazy high
4. Make defense wins mean something other then the privilege of re arming overpriced traps and useless trophies... If manipulation is the concern then add a % to it so ppl cant drop 1 troop and give bonus
5. Increase collector output 25% or more
6. League bonus multiplier... 2* worth more then 1* etc... Reward bigger accomplishments
7. Further discourage bots, any activity by them is too much
8. Elixir for walls needs addressed.. Either make it so only elixir above X amount can be used for walls leaving some elixir for theft, or make only lvl 10+ walls for elixir, or some other elixir solution


Do those things and th10s will immediately start seeing full storages in their queues again and people with near maxed defenses like me will break shields again and probably put our townhalls inside

Th8 gowipe is an option... Otherwise wait until th9 and you have level 6 balloons and then it will be easy.

I agree with everything except option 8. Well said.
