Do people actually use revenge attacks

[mctrials23]

I have probably used revenge about a dozen times in my entire experience with CoC. I would do it a lot more often if it wasn't the most laborious and low percentage way of finding someone to raid. I don't think I am doing this in an inefficient way but the process for me is:

Look down defence list to find base I didn't attack first (95% of them are available to revenge)
Pick an attacker that has a high enough TH level to make the loot penalty not an issue
Visit attackers base to scope out their defences and loot and how I would attack
Go back to my base
Go to defence list again
Find that base again
Click revenge
Get message that either my target is online or my target is shielded

Repeat that as many times as your sanity allows.

I would love to see the "status" of an enemy in the defence list so that you didn't have to waste so much time for a tiny tiny chance of being able to revenge someone. This is also completely ignoring the fact that if you really want to clean out someones base you will probably need to build an army tailored to their base. If you do that it could take 3+ hours to train before you are told that they can't be attacked.

So... how many of you do this instead of just hitting the next button a hundred times.

Just go down your defense log and click revenge repeatedly until there's someone you can attack.

There are very few bases on my list that I have not revenged. I make it simple and don't plan an army or attack strategy for it. I cook up my farming army, click on a few revenges and, if I get one, great, I attack with what I have. If I don't, ok, I just go for some regular attacks.

I think people get too hung up on it and miss out on the opportunity to revenge when it is available. Don't plan and plan and plan and wring your hands in angst, just do it.

and then quit because they have no loot

Doesn't cost anything to tap the revenge button. I go through my defense list every time I attack to see if any are worth raiding. I've received lots of loot from revenge attacks.

Sums it up for me. It's a complete waste of time.

Yes.

Revenge attacks give you an opportunity to scout out an opponent before you attack which allows you to check things like the number of CC troops, cc radius, base layout. If they have weak air D's you can use an air attack. If there's no spacing you can use hogs & so forth.

With no loot bonus awarded, that kills almost all incentive to bother unless you manage to find someone full of loot and you happen to have a GOWIWI or something like that. If It had a loot bonus it might be worth using for farming.

[powercage]

lol yes. I revenge everyone that zaps my DE

[Plimitree]

Yep, I go through the list from time to time an occasionally there's a fat village full of DE, Gold, and Elixir for the taking. I just use my normal farming army normally. If I need something more heavy duty like gowiwi or quattrolavaloon I let it go unless I've already prepared it for WAR.

The revenge list is a great free opportunity to punish someone, but it works both ways. I'm a TH10 so if I snipe a TH8 I know most likely he'll bolt my DE if they get a chance.
