"Practicing" war attacks?

I've heard about another way to do this where you turn wifi off before attack, but supercell fixed that for war, not sure if that would work on normal bases. There are many YouTube videos showing how do it, and it is really easy. Pretty nice to know about.

THIS!!!

I really wish that SuperCell would devise a way where we can practice war attacks. Say like it had an auto-base generator the CC with whatever, maybe give loot as a loot bonus or something based on how well you attack.

I don't know, but something. Farming bases are overwhelmingly NOWHERE near the same as an actual war attack, against someone of near-equal standing.

When I got to the top levels of TH8 I had so much Elixir that I used to just cook up lots of strong troops for clan donations and attacking others.

But most of my experience has come from actually going to war frequently. Fortunately I run a good clan with lots of informative people so we all help and don't get on each others backs for trying new attacks. We learn together and get better together.

That is called ♥♥♥♥♥ing and you shouldn't encourage people to do it on the forums. Or anywhere else for that matter.

Don't worry, the recent updates had prevented the exploit.

Also, I don't think you can perfectly "practice" war attacks. War attacks are dependant on a base design, and farming bases are faaarr different than a war base in terms of it's mechanics. For me, I do bring war strats occasionally on general raids, but just to get myself used to the deployment of troops.

For practicing war attacks itself, I'd watch/read up a lot on the strat. Take a risk, trial n' error on war day.

Revenges, best place to practise.

Ehh, I'm not really with you here.

Conceptually, there isn't anything wrong, as a matter of fact, I'd encourage it, around the idea that one should be able to practice war attacks against legitimate war bases. I disagree that practicing when it's live is the only way to do it. I believe a solid update for Supercell might be to develop a war simulator--I believe that would be really cool and would generate significant interest.

At this time, war is the best part of the game in my mind & takes on a much different meaning, as your clan mates are relying on you---then farming. Farming is rather, "meh" & far less risky. War is a team effort. If I could practice war attacks, I'd do it the majority of the time, by far.

Sorry, can't agree with you here. As correctly stated above, farming bases just do not work anywhere near like war bases, to say nothing about the fact that, as is often the case, defenses work in war when under construction/upgrade

So many players are pointing out some fundamental problems with practicing war attacks in standard multiplayer.


1) Bases you are facing are not optimized for defense
-Typical multi-player bases aren't going to have storages in the outside layers and may be better set up to defend against Barch and Giant/Archer than your big nasty war combos

2) CC troops are not optimized
-Facing off against 1 witch, 2 wiz and 1 loon - all maxed - is a WHOLE different game than 30 archers

3) Hard to find a comparable layout to target base
-for the above reasons, but also you aren't likely to want to throw a war army at a base with no loot... conflict of interests (loot or a challenge)




But I say its worth practicing war attacks in multiplayer for a few reasons.

1) If the only time you use a troop combination is in war, its going to take you a long time to get comfortable with it
-you only average 1 attack a day! Kinda hard to learn anything new then

2) You can still learn the nuances of troop AI and behavior. Figure out basic problems and possible solutions.

3) Its like a warm up, helps prepare you verses cold turkey




I don't always practice, but if I have a new troop combination or feel rusty I will. I also do it if I feel like I am stretching to get the 3 star on a particular base. Sure its not the same but I perform better if I get a little practice in anyway.


EDIT: But keep in mind I war with the following

GoViz
GoVaPe
GoWiVa
HoVa Variations (make specific to base)
VaLo Variations (make specific to base)
Quad Viz



I sometimes get rusty with one of the above and need a refresher. Also at Th10, I always practice. Very little forgiveness at that level for mistakes

War armies are darn expensive, so how do the really good guys get so good...knowing what armies to use against what type of base etc....I cant imagine they do this just by doing a heap of wars?

Any strategies you could suggest would be greatly appreciated....Im a good farmer, but want to get good at war also.


Cheers.

You can do that or also if you're up by alot in war instead of doing a loot atatck practice on a base
