a lot of times, especially on war attacks, I get overwhelmed by what I need to do and/or what's going on in the raid that I often forget or don't notice a lot of things, from not luring to not noticing a royal dying and activating their ability...
how can I improve on this?
Sounds like a planning issue, especially the luring part. Go through the raid several times in your head before going in for real. Of course you still have to react based on how the battle is going, but careless mistakes like those can be avoided by being focused and going in with a well-rehearsed plan IMO.
Hi! I totally know how you feel, sometimes I get so caught up in a war attack I forget to watch my heroes.Quote:

I try to glance at my heroes's health (at the troop deploy bar) every 5 seconds or so. I don't know if you drive, but I was taught to glance at the mirrors every 5 seconds. So I'm in the habit of checking the heroes every 5 seconds.
Try to do some war attacks in multiplayer. This might help you focus on the raid.
Make a small checklist on a piece of paper with the things you need to do. Go through them one-by-one, even inserting a "Check hero health" if you need to. Often "wait" is the most important items. Then, practice your fingers doing the actual drops. Do this a few times, then start your raid.
You have three minutes in your raid for a reason along with a 30 second pre-raid search.
Make sure you use all of this time wisely to plan everything out and go through your mental checklist of things you need to do in order to have a successful raid. Good luck!
Treat your attacks like a check list.
Before attacking I always figure out how I'm going to lure the cc out and where to dispose of them. Then where to deploy the meatshields/place test troops for traps. If you have a plan of attack going into it you won't spend too much time deciding on the fly.
thanks for all of the tips guys, I'm going through a bad war slump and I think this is the reason why
Two sides of the coin:
- Don't watch your own attack. During the attack you should be busy deploying troops, checking hero HP, etc. There's no time to watch everything that's happening. Things should be planned in advance so you don't have to think during the attack.
- Practice war attacks in multiplayer. There's no time to plan every little detail in a multiplayer attack, so you need to think on your feet. Practicing under those conditions will develop the mental agility to keep up with what's happening during the attack and making decisions on the fly.
You need a bit of both.
On top of the good suggestions brought up above, I would say that raiding on a table/ipad makes it a ton easier to see what is going on, and thus much easier to be on task.Quote:

I went through a rough slump in war and this was how I got over it. It takes time and patience. Don't be hard on yourself, you're going to screw up sometimes. Make sure you're in a clan that will understand that we all have a rough time and above all try and have fun.
Pressure will only make the problem worse.
I've tried to put min pressure on my guys and its proved to be effective. We have chilled wars to practice like I said above and then the guys who are confident in their attacks will opt in for the xp pushing phases.
Again, above all, have fun with it. Scout, plan, profit.
Good luck!
Maybe you're just going up against bases you don't have a realistic shot at achieving your star goalQuote:

(i'm not suggested full on every time, but perhaps 2 lavahound, I stead of 4, etc....) Use those heavy troops more for raiding, it's excellent practice, and the high league bonus helps...Quote:

don't feel bad, I have and or am in a bad slump to. Wars really are not easy attacks. They are meant to be hard. Is easy to say that you just need to plan the attack and do it right. It's harder to do when the pressure is on. As I said, your not alone.Quote:

I know the way I want things to work when I attack, just often have one small thing happen and I over react and mess up. I love and hate wars at same time.Quote:
