Th.5 is more of a war strat tbh.
No, a .5 isn't so rushed that shielding will affect it much. It's not like it's going to get run over by less than 50% of an army so as not to give a shield. I don't think we'll see any change to .5 strat based only on the shielding we've seen.Quote:

It's the end of mine but it was time anyways.
"Solid maybe"
We shall wait and see if it does, we still have another week and then some to see.
I definitely wouldn't go .5 now unless you wanna be wrecked constantly.
i can see it's effects on a defenseless but TH.5 has nothing to worry in regards to this shield change.....
Wont affect .5s at all. Just gonna be harder to hold onto loot
No? It is however the end of free shields.
You mean impossible?Quote:

you mean it's possible now?Quote:

Not at all. It isn't impossible for players with THs inside right now to hold onto loot, so it's not going to change. Even if you got 3 starred on every attack, simply using a .5 isn't going to mean a player can use less than 50% of your available army space to do it.Quote:

.5 deals only with wars. they will get steam rolled just the same in general attacks
I assure you I'd do more damage than that on a 8.5 base with Gibarch and 2 spells. If you don't have TH9 defense it's basically impossible to not get owned by a TH10Quote:

Why would it? I actually see how this change makes it easier to to .5. You don't get the free shield, but u can search without loosing a shield and do a few raids and keep a shield. It's all about netting out ahead, loose 200 to 300 k. Do a few raids and earn it back, dump all your loot into walls and junk before shield ends.
Don't jump to conclusion... i am sure that supercell made changes to balance the game.
Lets hope and wait for the next sneak peeks !!
Nothing special about my base i made a few modifications to my th8 base and its working well. Btw.. make the cc unlurable and try to fill it with wizards those will do a lot of damage before it got killed by poisonQuote:

The .5 route just isn't smart after update hits because you are gonna be attacked every time not just pray for a snipe. Unless you raid in long sessions to finish an upgrade you'll never get ahead. 9's with full storages are TH10's best friend and you will be hit hard for everything you have. If you're gonna upgrade TH you better get defense up as fast as you can to help prevent a 3 star.Quote:

I haven't upgraded or added any new defense so no infernos or extra xbow concerned about
getting raided with less than 50% and not getting a sheild
They must suck at attacking then.Quote:

I have a feeling there will be more to this update thatll change our perception, but knowing only whats been released I would really hate to be a rushed th9/10 even more. You have no easy way to keep resources.
All those rushed people are gonna quit because they have zero chance at catching up. Can't say I mind it though, seeing these garbage rushed TH10's give me cancer unless I'm raiding them for lots of loot.Quote:

It will become harder to hold on to loot. I'm considering aborting my push for TH9.5.
No it can't. You'll offer more loot for TH10's so expect to be hit by heavy armies. Not only that, you'll also be a target for TH11's which you stand zero chance against with TH9 defense.Quote:

Heck, I have 2 other "normal" accounts and I still won't bother quitting even on the defenseless, it's just not that big of a deal if I have to ensure that people use 50% of an army on me.Quote:

A 9.5 can defend just as easily as a 9, but your point stands. It can defend as easily, but it's going to get hit by a lot stronger opponents. (9,10,11) rather than (8,9,10).Quote:

I think .5 is probably the worst idea anyone could do now and everyone that is currently .5 should probably consider building the new defense so you stand a chance defending.Quote:
