Hi Logan, nice update and good going. AQ is going to 24 now and still 5 days left.
BK is at 24. Have got half DE and hopefully by tomorrow i can put him to upgrade too.
With the new update have started the new mine and drill and they are being upg to lv 11 now. Good that it kept the builders busy. Hate to idle builders lol.
134 lv 10 walls are done and 116 remaining now.
Baby drag is being upgraded in lab and will be done in 2 days time. Will do Barb after that.

The new update is decent, i like it that it can keep you occupied but not distract from the main game. Warring is fun now whenever royals are available. Have become a little better with my attacks with laloon and also gobolaloon. I just love this attack.

@Logan, yes keep trying lava loons they are fun to use and also pleasing to see how fast they crush the base. On my mini i used to drags 4 for war attack but from now on will start using laloon again though they are not upg yet for TH9.

@gendgibson, nice upgrade there and you are moving along quite nicely.

Keep clashing.

Yeah, LavaLoons is pretty amazing. Went for 4 raids, two 2*, one 3* and last one 1*. Problem is my clan is mostly inactive now, so if I am going in without castle troops and that extra spell, it hurts the attack. Plus, my AQ is down.

What's the composition that you're using? I am going for LavaLoonion with 4 lava hounds, 12 loons and 20 minions. Planning to reduce minions, but then need something to clear the base. If I get loons in castle, it's great, else the attacks suffers in huge manners. Let's see how I proceed from here.

Btw, never thought I'd put my minions to lvl 2. But here I am. Finally upgrading the least used troops in my arsenal. Also, started using them. Not bad for clean up if defense it taken down.

Yes Laloon can crush the base like anything.

For composition...you are carrying too many lavas. I generally take 2 lavas, 24 loons, 1 hog for luring cc troops, rest minions. For CC i will request lava too. If not then i will go with the troops. You can always increase 1 lava and reduce couple of loons and the rest from minons. Key is having more loons while lava is taking the hit from the defense.

IMHO 12 loons is too low. I wouldnt carry anything less than 20. For war. i go with 3 lava, 22 loons, 5 archer, 5 minions and 1 hog with cc max lava. At times i go penta loon with 4 lavas 20 loons and cc max lava.

Agreed on minions, they are great clean up troops. I carry them in farming with giants, wiz and healers too. Sadly mine is only at 3 and i will upg them to 4 and 5 once i have finished barbs which i will be starting today.

On another note, even our clan lately has been very quiet. We lost a war yesterday which we could have won easily. We only had like 20 attacks out of 50 in 25x25 war.

[LoganMJ]

Thanks for the inputs on the composition. I'd change them and see how it works for me. Right now back at Raiding. Planning to max out and soon now. Been here too long. Targeting Pekkas to lvl 3, sitting on 4.5 M elixir. Have gotten double cannon to lvl 4 in builder base and hence will be upgrading a cannon in original base, as soon as builders are free.

AQ is at 11 and suddenly awesome. Will push her to next lvl soon. Going with older strategy today. WiGiBarcher with royals. Cost effective and gives plenty of loot if executed properly.

[Nam3less79]

Good going Logan and the more you practice the better you become at Laloon. however for me in war its still mostly 1 or 3*. I get to 2* at times if Heroes available.

Yes AQ becomes quite good the higher she goes and i feel same about BK too. Hence i m doing BK first and then AQ. BK will be 25 in 3 days and AQ is at 24. Still farming de for it...half way done. 4x Bonus loot helped tho.

My pekka is still at 2 TBH i hardly use it now. So most probably i am going to do minions 4 unless i m sitting on lot of eli.

[LoganMJ]

Yeah makes sense. I don't use Pekka either, but some clan mates do, so taking it to 3, just to put another check on my list. Haha.

Update:
Pushed a lot harder. Pekkas going to lvl 3 11d 2h remaining. All 6 builders are busy, imagine that!!!

2 builder taking elixir collector and mine to lvl 11 respectively. 3rd AD will be maxed at lvl 7 in 1 day.

4th and 5th builder on xbows, taking them to lvl 2 each. First one will be ready in 3 days, and second one in 8 days.

Master builder is taking a lvl 11 cannon to next level by gearing up. 2 days to go.

Have opened baby dragons as well, will try to take a few in lava loons and see how it goes.

[Nam3less79]

Good Going Logan.

I have done few more walls and now lv10 count remaining is 94. BK will be 25 in 1d 12H and i will put AQ to 25 today after 2 war attacks.

Got the new drills and mine to lv 12. Now just the lab time, walls and royals. Most probably will move to TH10 the moment i am almost done with all the walls.

Pekka, minions 3, poison and eq both 2. Remaining now.

[LoganMJ]

Sounds good Nameless. I have been contemplating on rushing to th10, but then decided against it. Too much to do on this base still. However, I am pleasantly surprised how Lavaloons is helping me keep all the builders busy. All 5 of them. It's a great way to cause mayhem in your opponents base. Loving it.

Update:
Pekka will be lvl 3 after 6d 1h.
1 builder is taking BK to lvl 13.
2nd is on xbox lvl2 2d 23h remaining. The other one is lvl 2 now.
3rd builder is working on getting final ad to lvl 7 - 6d 21 h remaining.
4th one is on Dark barracks lvl 5 - 6d 21h
5th one just started on 3rd mortal lvl 7 - 7d

Pretty happy with my progress. Was confused between using builder for taking a barrack to lvl 10 and reduce pekka time, or mortar. Then went for mortar. I don't use Pekka at all. Used 3M elixir on walls, and yeah, finally after long 3 more walls are lego from skull.

Wall stats as below:
Lvl 9 - 15
Lvl 8 - 235

Still a long long way to go. Will sit tight and push harder.

Upgrade time

Lab:
Drag going to lv3 in 1d 12h

Walls:
Only 12 lv10 walls left to upgrade.

Heroes
AQ at 27, I can't farm enough dark to put both heroes under upgrade. One cz I am not playing as hard. Two each hero upgrade takes much more de than it used to at lv20s.

Bk is under upgrade going to lv27 in 4d 12h.

I'm planning on moving to th 10 next week after walls are done.

Lab still have few things left to upgrade ie minnions all lv, lightning 3lv, eq all lv.

[gendgibson]

Time for an update!

Lab: Haste is level 2 and hogs are lvl 5. Currently, I've got hounds going to lvl 2 with 9 days and 6 hours left.

Walls:
107 legos
143 skulls
I've made a lot of progress on walls, but I've started working on defenses so it won't be as quick progress anymore.

All my archer towers are lvl 11 and 2 cannons are lvl 11. I also unlocked xbows! Both are built, with one going to lvl 2.

Builders:
Elixir collector to lvl 12
Xbow to lvl 2

I've been away for the last few weeks so I haven't been able to farm as much, but I'm working on getting back into it again.
