A few minions & a jump spell is all you need to direct your AQ anywhere you want. I've tried this strategy as well & it works pretty damn well. The only loss is............. Idk any disadvantage actually. It uses less than a 100k elixir with 300 De only!
Id like to see you take a 3k de pot in the middle of a base with barch every 30mins! Its a great strategy and if you know how to handle your queen you dont fail much. Also gives you a good handle for learning aq walk strategies.
One of my favourite strategies is my all day everyday 2-4-7. Each barrack builds 2 healers, 4 giants, 7 archers. Used properly you never have to wait for the queen to be available. Find the right bases and it works a treat for farming or pushing up to masters (I find around m2 I need to switch to loons). My queen is still pretty weak too at lvl16, it's only going to get better.
Ok I've been hearing a lot about this strategy for sometime now & want to try it out myself. But my AQ is still pretty low (only about lvl10) & I've only seen this being tried by high level AQs. So my question is will it be any good if I use a lvl10 AQ with say 8-12 lvl2 healers (didn't use them a lot hence the low lvl) ?
What is the min lvl for your AQ to be for this to work?
I love the super queen strategy. I use gibarch for when she's upgrading (and often the BK is upgrading too). Without heroes gibarch is so much more difficult and I pretty much need all spells to get the de off a th9.
True superqueen may not be the most efficient method but it is certainly a working efficient method and it the most fun method. The reason why I find it the most fun is because it's not convention. I find it semi reliable, after a few weeks of doing it.
My army is: 8 healers, 40 minions, 8 wb, 1 jump, 1 poison. I try not to expend all 40 minions as that is 400 de. Even though funnelling I can get away with less, I mostly use the minions as a "queen saver". This means if too many point defences are targeting queen and she's locked onto a gold storage the minions can save the day. The other use is if it looks like an air defence is about to lock onto a healer, I often spam the minions right in front of the air defence to hopefully distract it / take it out. My rule of thumb is if 3 point defences lock onto her you're fine, if 4 lock onto her her health will slowly dwindle slowly, and if more lock onto her she will go down even faster. Be careful of the 2 air sweepers as well, they are not the end of the world but count the air sweeper as a point defence or 2. Secondly you can count the enemy heroes or a cc drag as 2 point defences. Plan the timing of the engagement of the heroes carefully, you may need her ability.
I use a jump spell pretty much every raid but some raids I get away with just using wall breakers depending on the base design and the location of the de. I use wb for the outer walls and then the jump spell from the core. This way there is no need for her to target a wall at all. Before the update (and her AI change) I got away with not using a jump spell but often ran out of time due to her beating on walls (lvl 17 queen). With the jump I pretty much never run out of time. The heroes rarely circle unless I'm too early or late with the jump spell. For some reason as soon as I place the jump spell she will not re-target if she decides to circle, therefore I place the jump spell while she is shooting at the last building accessible without destroying a wall. A jump spell takes 30 minutes which is the same as the healers, but does mean 10 extra gems during a boost.
With this strategy I have taken th10s before but only when the inferno towers are placed out of range of the de (they stop the healing effect). You have to be even more careful though because max point defences are even more powerful than the "rule of thumb" above.
To Lootmachine and Morph.
I started when my queen was lvl15.
i've seen this done even when the queen was level 10.... she plowed into the core, which i have my base set up as Safe and Sound. Used 4 EQs to get there, some wall breakers and minions. Seems pretty damn OP, must do it myself :cool:
I boost my barracks when I queen healer. It's the only combination that I think it's worth boosting and get serious loot. A hard core 4hr session can get me 50k DE. As I'm a th9, I do go for th8 with 1000 DE. Sometimes their bases are so weak that I only use 3 or 4 healers plus a rage on healers and queen in more dangerous situation. And after the raid I am ready to bully other th8 again. Th9 bases I've tried using 6 healers with rage with success on certain bases. If the base is good I'll use 8. Why I use rage because I'm all for efficiency and I boost spell factory when I queen healer too. The elixir is chump change.
Unfortunately, I started my upgrade to th10, hopefully I can still use this next Saturday onwards when my th is done.
I think the lvel2 healers will be more of a problem than the lvl10 AQ.Quote:

At level 2, each healer is only healing 42 dps per second, while at level 4, they will be healing 71dps per second. So 8 of them would heal 346/sec at lvl 2 , 568/sec at lvl4
Increases in AQ level don't have huge differences in hit points - lvl 10 has 874, while level 20 still only has 1076
And the main issue with Queen walk is keeping her alive.
