to get my shield...

It took 30+ attacks, 9 of which were real ones, and 8 of which were just short of 30% line. Finally, a guy succeeded at 35% damage..

I had about 400k/400k/4k loots available thoroughout this 10-hour plus "shield obtaining period". The attacks were usually break-even. So they pretty much wasted all that troop build time for nothing, and I kept losing resources for no shield. A nice lose-lose situation!

I'm a new a TH10 with one lvl1 inferno tower, 3 xbows (2 lvl-3, 1 lvl-2) defending, others are TH9 level. Walls are mostly lvl-9. As you can see, this is the "sweet" spot that encourages a lot of weak TH10 to attack, yet they suck so much they tumbled at 30% very often...

I stay at silver for various reasons, which also is a factor that I couldn't get a "clean kill" quick enough. But I intend to stay here.

Just feel it's amusing that sometimes you beg your fellow players to be less impotent. How sad.

Yeah, this system definitely has some flaws.

I know this is not what SC wants but you can just make a garbage base like mine and have it wrecked with over 30% damage.

SC is so completely out of their depth. They apparently didn't see any of this coming. Or they don't care. Pick one

They clearly care. Its just that people everywhere are requesting ♥♥♥♥ that SC doesn't want to release like defence win bonus/heroes during war while upgrading ect ect.

I respectfully disagree. Lip service does not equal caring. It's damage control.

And ya there countless horrible ideas so what? There are more than a few gems buried in with them.

Exactly! A fundamental flaw of this system, unfortunately - reward bad defenses instead of good ones.

Seriously, just move up to crystal where people try and get the loot bonus. It's kind of ridiculous when TH 10s complain they can't get a 30% attack against them in a league filled with most of the lowest TH leveled players in the game.

Unfortunately, the best way to defend your base is to design a base that cannot defend ...

I'm in a clan of maxed th9's and new th10's. We are testing out all base designs to grab a shield on the first or second attack in order to not be subjected to the constant milking. Once at a certain level in loot - we switch to the war layout.

Its frustrating.

Spend all your res so you have nothing to be stolen, quit out after 8 hours your base won't even show up ever again....free shield forever
