My Road to Champions League

[rynoster]

I started my push to Champions League on Monday, spurred on by the Forum Elite event/push happening next week.

I recorded and uploaded some of my attacks to Youtube.

With a 100% farming background, being mostly foreign to chasing cups, I would appreciate some constructive criticism on my attacks, as it is starting to get tougher as I go up (At 3078 right now). Luckily I have had no fail attacks, except for a few 1-stars which should have been 2.

Lastly, using GoWiPe puts quite a bit of strain on my elixir reserves, how is this "countered", without spending gems of course? Is GoWiWi an option for me?

I don't see anything glaringly off with your execution...except for the golems bunching but that's so hard to manage consistently...

The steps as I've laid out for the clan..

1) deploy golems spread apart to draw as much fire
2) deploy wizards to clear trash
3) deploy wbs in 2 areas to produce openings
4) when trash is clear and there are no exterior distraction, deploy pekkas targeting the trigger range of the clan castle. Deploy your cc behind the pekkas to ensure they have enough fire power to clear whatever is ahead of them

You want the clan castle to draw the bulk of your raid force towards the town hall so use that behavior to your advantage.

Speed is an issue, you can't really miss a beat or you risk dropping dps to the level where tanks go down...it really is all about dropping the base's dps potential to a manageable level, then pushing the core of your dps crew into the core of the base.

As for resources...I'll be taking a different path. Have you considered trying balloons? Much easier on the wallet and quite frankly faster to train. Take a look at the top 100 players and spy what's in their army camps, I think that will say a lot about the choice they've made faced with the same question you are.

Thanks for the feedback Mochaboy. I'm still very new at GoWiPe so learning little things here and there. Your points definitely helped.

Regarding balloons... I've spent the last 3 months farming DE with loonions, quite tired of doing that, not much fun anymore. Also tried the 240 archers and 5 lightning thing, also quite boring.

Let's see what the pro's from Forum Elite say about this next week.
