Journal of a rusher....

[LordBrunothefirst]

Sorry about the no reply... was on a plane... I have 0 regret on jumping to th10 early. Only thing (which I expected) is no one wants to put me in war. I have saved the most elixer ever on this account (7.5 million) and am currently upgrading pekka to 4, getting the new xbow, and am 4k dark from getting queen to 11.

FWIW...I've largely stopped playing clan wars. The matchmaking was so screwed up for so long that I started just getting my fix in regular multiplayer. After the December update, a lot of players started using war bases as their main village base and a lot of raiders started using war strength armies to farm. All of that encouraged more use of better designed bases. Only benefits to clan wars now, for me at least, are the clan perks. I formed up a family clan, but I'd like to get us to ten minute CC times. I'll probably start running some 10v10 TH7 wars soon, just to boost clan perks. (We all love dragon attacks.)

This is the guide you were looking for. Might be a little outdated, but will still have some relevant points

Cheers, would you go with the same build order still? I think I can keep my heroes upgrading all the time, so I am not sure of the 5 builders which is the least important right off the hop.

Yeah I am currently looking to start my own clan because of the activity of my last one... really hard to find an active clan that will accept rushers... (they are all brainwashed into maxing). Some guy was trying to persuade me that farming was maxing each town hall. The only way to get an active clan that accepts rushers is to make one apparently...

Day 40...hard to believe it's been going this long. Spent some time on all my games this holiday weekend. The last week has been a busy one for upgrades; lots more done and this game is nearing max TH7 quickly. I've saved some bigger/longer upgrades for the end (hidden teslas, two levels of barracks, BK). Last week I ran a one hour boosted raiding session, but otherwise kept to my usual 15 minutes a day of play. I will do the same this week, but this upcoming weekend I might just put in an afternoon of raiding Saturday and Sunday to knock out walls. There are 175 walls altogether; at 200K per wall, that's 35M in gold. With any luck, I can drum up enough elixir to get the four barracks going and maybe move my BK to level 3 or 4 as well.

I'm also debating when to start the TH8 upgrade. It takes 8 days to complete, so my inclination is to kick it off just as I start the teslas on their last upgrade. I'll upgrade spring traps and bombs during the time the TH is under construction, then hit THi offense hard. TH8 is where I switch my regular raiding army comps up. Right now, I've been using 8 Giants, 8 wallbreakers, and the rest a mix of barbarians/archers/goblins. Starting with TH8 maxed troops, I switch to 16 Giants, 12 wizards, 8 wallbreakers, and 4 healers. This allows for deeper penetration of stronger defenses and walls, all the way up through TH9.

Progress from day one can be found throughout this thread. I try to get in once or twice a week to provide updates. For anyone interested in looking at the village directly, it is the player named, "Clash Maniac" on clan, "Divergent Void" (P8CGRG0C).

??? I don't follow...the BK is listed in the same section as the other offenses; just below the spells. I upgraded to to level two a few days back.

hey mate, loving the thread! good to see some intelligent stuff going on with rushing again...

can you put some links on your first page, kinda like a table of contents, that point to each update post? just makes catching up easier without having to trawl through pages of stuff

Just to clarify, maxers get collector raided because they need to sleep/work. Because a maxer doesn't get attacked immediately, but after a few hours collectors accumulate so that they're worth much more and are attacked. That's my experience with maxed defense (for their TH) accounts. After sleeping for 8 hours or so, I wake up to a 11.45hr shield, which meant I got attacked 15min before waking up and lose a ton of overnight collector loot as well as storage loot.

My rushed accounts don't face this, as long as they have loot, they'll be raided immediately so that I can wake up to collector loot which is equal or more than the losses the night before

Max Rushers are s problem as looters. We need AUTO SHIELD is vital for leveling beginners.

Sure; but I have no idea how to do that...?
