[BH]Rushing to max

[MadCow25]

Is all minions attack the new thing? I got owned twice 100% by it, but i figured it was because my air balloon was down

Guessin what SC is going to do is crazy. No matter how you slice it.

Sniping was removed years after the game
came out. So you are willing to wait years in the hope that SC will nerf rushing?

That just doesn't seem like a smart plan to me.

I've been around long enough to never guess what SC will do.

And now that is truly crazy. No plan for the future. I'm not saying I'm going to wait years for SC to nerf rushing. Im going plan my progression so that in case SC nerfs rushing I'm not stuck at BH 6, 7 or 8, unable to match others within my builder hall lvl class. Hoping an praying for a nerf to something I'm not willing to do is stupid, and that is not something I will do. I will rush and I will do it properly. With a plan and some goals so that I'm able to adapt to anything thrown my way. Remember that being cautious, planning, and guessing is not crazy. It is how you will excel at any strategy game, blindly following the masses is not the way to play strategy

Well I chucked a few more gems at BH than I initially had planned. As a result ....

Roaster lvl 1 down
New AT still on 2
New Crusher upgrading to lvl 2
1 elixir pump upgraded to lvl 6
Beta minions upgrading to lvl 9
BDs lvl 12!!

Sitting at 3756 and despite my upgrades most I face are higher levelled than me. Many on full max.

Sorry Saleh, I know you started this thread as a FTP journey to max so feel a little dirty about it. New toys are fun though!

One of my losses today was v lvl 10 mass Beta Minions. The way they flood the base is very impressive and the air defences struggle to keep up. Didn't have the Roaster up for that one though so that would likely have helped.

Love even level 1 roaster, it helps tons.

No one expected SC to nerf sniping two years ago. Be prepared for anything. Looking at how SC wanted us to put every building down before moving to the next BH shows that they didn't want us rushing ahead to the last BH. If they can nerf rushing to prevent people from getting more loot, they will.

Actually, removing sniping wasn't really a surprise. It was never the way they intended the game to be played. It was a logical step after they went down the path of making it harder to find dead bases.

Pushing trophys is how they want the game to be played.

But now we are off topic (sorry Saleh)

Getting back on topic, put my BH to 6 today (dang SC announcing the delay on Monday cost me a day - because I guessed wrong that it would take more than 1 day to make the witch nerf happen) and the second it's done I will drop the 3 new defenses and then lab where I will get babies to 12 and then minions to 12.

Then I will work on the rest of my defenses and maxing giant and NW.

None of us are that rushed anyway. Most of our defenses are or were 1 level from being maxed. Hardly what you'd call a rushed base.

Agreed that was a bunch of baseless argument simply going nowhere, it holds as much water as saying SC may nerf maxing so all maxers be warned

Then I'm not sure why we are arguing here, because I'm doing the same thing you are.

I have a plan and I'm following it. It involves maxing offense that will keep me above 3k trophys and strategically upgrading defenses.

Checking top players I see what I've been seeing for a while now - 2 camps baby 2 camps beta.

Im curious also in terms of what troops to upgrade first after BH6 is done, its apparent barbs rush is nerfed by the extra crusher, is it smarter to go air (BD+minions) or ground (giants+archers) or mixed (giants+nw)

I do not know either, people see my comment and say I'm making "crazy assumptions" all I was doing was stating possible negatives to rushing and the fact that you should address these when you developed your own strategy rushing. Other people came on making rebuttals about how a nerf to rushing is not a possibility at all.

Hi guys,

I'm following this thread with great peasure, because you gave me a lot of input for my bh progress. However, at the moment I struggle with a decicion I have to take, but don't know what to do. A couple of weeks ago I decided to go the Garch road instead of following the BD path. Back then I've already been around 2800 trohpies thanks to heavy pushing sessions. But since then I didn't progress at all. Today I still struggle with that 3000 trophy wall. Desperately I'm trying to climb up over 3000 in order to not miss out on that extra 30 k daily loot. But no chance!

My def is mostly lv 4/5 and I've already started to upgrade to BH 6. Here's my army:
lv 6 Barb
lv 10 Arch
lv 9 Giant
lv 4 WB/Minnion
lv 3 BD
lv 2 BM

Garch has turned out to be the wrong way, if I want to progress higher then 2999. As I said: 3 weeks of trophy stagnation. Now the question for me is: Shall I level up my BDs or wait for the NW? Or shall I do something completely different? Whatever way I decide, my first priority is to bring BM to lv 5 after the BH upgrade. But I guess this allone won't help me to push trophies...

What would you suggest? BD, NW or something else?

Edit: Just saw that someone else was faster with the same question. Thanks j000 for bringing up the topic too! From experience I'd guess Garch is a dead strategy.... Looking forward to all your opinions!
