Trophy hunting mechanics

I have never really paid a lot of attention to trophies but have been looking at it recently. Not looking for attack strategies, but trying to figure out how it works in general.

Three questions:

1) I know available trophies are based on yours vs. target base, which is why u can gain 10 but lose 30, etc. BUT... What determines how many you gain? 100% = 100% but the other day I ended up with a 97% 2-star and got half, or less than half (?) of available trophies.

2) Why is it I see 40-50 trophy replays from our th6-7 ppl, but the most I see in gold is 34 (usually for rushed bases). (If I look at a maxed th10 hanging out in gold before I quickly hit the next button, it only offers me 15 for a three-star, lol!) Then there's the champs (and now higher) getting 1-10 per attack?

3) Someone told me to drop to low silver to get high trophy offers. (haha, drop to gain...) But again, everyone in silver should be within so many of each other in that same league, so wouldn't the offers be similar as well?

Thanks for clarifying. Or posting a link somewhere. Muchly appreciated. :-)

A lot more than you need, but linking it because of its awesomeness and the effort involved.

Pretty much just the intro will explain most of your confusion.

1) 1 star is 1/3 of total rounded to less (e.g. 17 trophy offer, 17/3 = 5,6666 -> 5 cups)
2 stars is I think 2/3 rounded in excess (17 * 2/3 = 11,3333 -> 12 cups)
Not sure about the 2 stars formula but seems likely

2) Champs get very often offered Master/Crystal players

3) Well that's not entirely correct. You get huge offers if you find a match with a Gold village, which happens sometimes. If you match with other players with your same trophies you'll still get just +20something

Those 40-50 trophies were probably Revenge Attacks... Or attacks in a high division such as Master, there you can find 40-45 trophy offers

Thanks so much Superfinch. The graph and a couple of paragraphs gave me exactly what I was looking for.

I kind of want to go back and thank the OP, but the flack I sometimes get from bumping "old" threads now and then, lol.... Maybe I should, anyway. :-)

And for question 1.

If you can divide it by 3, then all of the stars will give you as many trophies.
Example: 1st star, 10 trophies, 2nd star 10 trophies 3rd star 10 trophies = 30 trophies.

If you do it minus 1, and then you can divide it by 3, then the last star will give you an extra trophy
Example: 1st star 8, 2nd star 8, 3rd star 9 = 28.

If you do it minus 2 and then you can divide it by 3, then the 2nd and 3rd star will give you and extra trophy.
Example: 1st star 7, 2nd star 8 3rd star 8 = 25

Thanks guys, and yeah, maybe revenge...I keep forgetting about those. Everyone is th10, no loot, online or has a shield so I rarely even look at it anymore. Our th5-6 who have played for a month or three aren't in Masters yet...;-)

It's possible tho. I've seen a TH 7 in Champions

People misunderstand the complaining about necroing old threads.

You are welcome to bring back old threads as long as they are STILL RELEVANT.
Being as the game keeps changing in a lot of ways, most over a few months old are simply not relevant anymore.

Only thing that has changed in that thread despite its age, is that TH level IS included to an extent in the searching, so it's all good.

I personally love necromancing. I get to poke fun at the unfortunate foolish poster, but then I'll have a look back through it in a little time-capsule kinda fashion. Usually find myself somewhere too.
