Your Top 10 Trophy Hunting Tips!!!
Hello Clashers!!
I'm Childish, Leader of Clan Misfits of War, and am a few days away of starting a Trophy Event for my Clan this upcoming Monday. I have gathered quite a bit of information over the last few months from some of the members here in the COC community to include:
- Offense/Defensive Strategies
- Base Design Setups
- Troop Compositions
Needless to say, I would be kidding myself to think I have learned everything there is to know about Trophy Hunting and am looking for your input on this topic from those who have extensive experience at Trophy Ranges of 1000-2500. I'm planning on compiling the information so I can provide it for my clan members on our Recruitment Page.
Just an Example:
- For troop composition, choose a composition that is cheap but effective (IE: Barb/archer Strat) Adjust your composition as you move into the higher end on your potential TH trophy range.
- Make sure you keep upgrading your mines/collectors as you level. The benefit of resources gained overnight will cover for raids, spells, etc. if you can't find bases with good trophies and a decent amount of loot.
- When considering a base, look/count how many buildings there are outside the walls vs inside the walls to see if you can easily one star the base.
- When base design, focus on protecting your TH and defenses more so than resources. Hybrids will get the job done but all out trophy bases will get you to that next level.
- Understand that at the upper end of your potential trophy range for your TH level. That most trophies will be gained Offensively, and not defensively.
- If your Logging off for the night and are at the top end of your potential trophy range, consider the fact that it might be beneficial to place TH outside and attempt to get a shield to lose ~10 trophies vs getting 2-3 starred for 30+ Trophies. At the end of the day it comes down to netting a positive amount of trophies because at the high end there is a good chance that they will be able to 2/3star you considering the units we have available to use ( Golem, Mass Dragon, etc.)
- When attacking with mass dragons look at the position of the ADs and consider using Lightning Strike on the AD that will provide the most available buildings to take out after it's gone. meaning if they have 2 very close to each other on one side and another one covering 40% of the remaining base - take that one out and push from that side.
- Check Old Revenges for easy trophy targets as some people that hit your town are going to be farmers with their TH outside.
Again, these are a few examples and I'm sure we can all debate if they are legit or not. I'm looking to see a trend in various topics so I can provide a nice list of the most common basic/advanced tactics people use so we can push our trophy count as high as possible.
I thank you all for taking the time to provide this information as it will help not only my clan but the COC community in general.
