Active, organized, loyal clan (Border Crew) looking for dedicated TH8s
Border Crew is a lvl 4 clan. We are a loyal, fun clan. We are based in the US (East Coast). Quite active (at least half of us are very active). We have a lot of fun sharing replays, talking strategy, participating in war. Donations are plentiful. We like to have fun but we also like to win. lol i like to say we are hardcore enough to be good at the game but not too hardcore to take the fun out of it.
Currently there are 30 of us and we war twice per week starting Tuesdays around 7pm EST and Friday around 7pm EST.
WAR: We are very much coming into our own as a 3 star mentality group. We are coming out of the GOWIPE rut in a big way. If you’ve been waring as a TH8 or TH9 you know what I mean. Those 2 star attacks that might, every now and then, if you’re lucky 3 star. Bringing the same army no matter the base and hoping for the best.
Here is the formula we are using and starting to see success in our transition to a 3 star clan
BAND + Skitch
BAND: We have a BAND group using the IOS and Android app. Its like our clans own private facebook page. We group chat, share strategy videos from elite war clans like One Hive, plan wars and schedule events. (BAND is required)
SKITCH: This is a simple app we use for collaborative battle planning. We take screen shots of our opponent’s war bases and draw up our attacks. This combined with BAND for sharing and commenting is quite powerful. As they say “Proper Planning Prevents ♥♥♥♥ Poor Performance”.
Army comps: Transitioning to a 3 star clan has told us that at least for TH8s and up. There is no one army comp to rule them all. Sometimes your comp may be a complete one off (custom) depending on your opponent’s base. With Border Crew you will see and learn variations of some of these comps.
TH7: Mass drag (obviously). But here we do it right. Lightning down a predetermined AD, properly funneling the drags to get them to go where you want and selecting the best entry point.
TH7: Dragloon. Bringing max loons in your cc. Learning how to identify bases that are more venerable to loons in the CC. Its all about defensive layers, creating the funnel for your drags, letting the drags create and funnel for your loons and watch the loons B-Line straight to those air defenses while the drags tank.
TH8: Since drags start to fall off as you start to go up against 3 lvl 5 and 6 ADs you will start learning more technical attacks. Early TH8s will still mass drag and dragloon being encouraged to research drags to lvl 3 to get through the early stages of th8 and then rushing hogs to lvl 4 ASAP. Hog based comps are the bread and butter of TH8. This is the place where the game changes for you and skill and knowledge prevail setting you apart from the pack and leaving your enemy crushed.
TH8: Mass drag and Dragloon as listed for TH7s
TH8 and up: GOHOWI. Front end Golems and wizards to kill the CC and trip possible double giant bomb and trap location. Hogs on the back side to rek your opponent.
TH8 and up: Mass hog with cc kill squad and clean up wiz. On the right base, pull and kill the cc, plan your hog path and let them go to work.
TH8 and up: GOVALO. Perfect for cored air defenses, valks wreck the core leaving the base venerable to air troops then sending the loons to finish the job.
TH8 and up: HOLO. CC kill squad + loons with the goal of cleaning up defenses to clear a safe bomb free path for your hogs.
TH8 and up: GOLOWIPE and GOLOWIWI. Bring 6-12 back end loons to takes these 2 star comps and make them 3 stars (as always this is base dependent). These attacks can be the gateway into a 3 star world.
TH9: Cold blooded and shattered lavaloon (one or 2 golems). Using front end GOWI with the goal of killing the enemy queen, killing the CC and taking down at least one air defense the bringing a lavaloon back end for the 3 star.
TH9 Penta Laloon: Bringing 4 lava hounds and 1 in the cc (very base specific)
These are just samples and they aren’t set in stone army comps but this is an example of some of the 3 star strategies that Border Crew and its members are learning. TH 7 and 8s will fit right in. Our top members are mostly TH8s with one th10 and one th9. The rest of us are spread across TH levels. We try to encourage maxing everything before moving up TH.
Expectations:
1: Take both attacks in war 2: Come with a plan 3: Download and Join the Border Crew BAND group 4: Being willing and ready to progress 5: Request troops if your CC isn't full
6: Donate troops as often as you can
7: Have fun
If interested please send invite to Border Crew and be sure mention the forums in your join request so we know where you came from.
