Do you hate when someone attacks your mirror.

It's only a game. Besides, if you're mad, then don't play. Duh.......easy solution!!!!! Youre welcome.

If you are aware of each of your attackers troop strengths and preferences, you should easily be able to skim an opposing map and plot out the best bases for each of your crew. Takes five minutes. Blindly telling everyone to attack their mirror is therefore not the best use of your roster and hence why it's deemed a poor strategy.

2-3 stars on pretty much every first attack isn't a waste though. We mainly do 15vs15 wars and average 38-41 stars out of 45 total.
And ofcourse, if we get a matchup where one of our weak TH7's have to attack a medium/strong TH8 we'll tell them to attack someone else or try to barch someone for loot and let the others handle his base. And we know the teams troopstrength, that's why we do very well on cleanup attacks, which is a lot easier knowing what's waiting for you like said before.

Yes.

I guess the first guy felt comfortable with it and still didn't do well. Been a lot of wars like this. But doing your strategy, what do you do about the bases that no one wants? Force a guy to take it because he got good troops? Still need skills.
And in my clan most people get 2-3 stars against their mirror, we war with TH7-10 players and been a lot of "unfair" matchups where we've still won and haven't complained. We adjust when it's needed.

"My" strategy is the strategy my clan uses. We call maps for first attack, it's not that hard. Our tops are comfy attacking quite every kind of map so no big deal.

If a fresh TH9 can 3 star a strong TH9, that strong TH9 must have some sucky layout. :smirk:

Nope: Mirrors don't mean anything :)

Cleanup is where the wars are won or lost. We have had awful first rounds and then, almost 3 stars up the board by the end of the war.

I won't go as far as this, but in a mostly th10 clan, vague mirrors work out fine.

I do agree that blindly attacking exact number is a waste of time, and the pattern has to be adjusted up and down according to the strength of match.

My top 10-15 are all 35/35-40/40 95k+ bases, so are by far the most confident and consistent at hitting the top bases.

The more of those that go down in 1 shot, frees up more of the top attacks for cleaning up (particularly when weaker 10s struggle) or looking to 3* the weakest 10s.

Only short sighted noobs focus so much on their mirrors. Clan wars require team work and strategy. Your loot haul is not one of the concerns you should consider when choosing an appropriate target to attack.

If someones attacking your mirror, your probably in a poorly managed clan.

We use a mirror strategy and no one has their mirror stolen for the first 12 hours. We win most wars too so the strategy does work for certain clans.
