WAR
When it comes to war there are many different approaches to the battle. Some clans go with Every man for himself. Other just dont care about war but the Leader wants to war so most of the clan does not even attack. Here at Adults At War and Adults @ War we care about war and we want everyone to be on the same page so we are successful and win many battles.
So with all that said we will go through our rules and let you know why we have picked these as our strategy. Now remember we are open to suggestion and questions. If there is a better way we are willing to try it if it makes sense.
1. Used both of your attacks in war.
A bit obvious but the more you attack the more chance of getting stars.
2. Always take a clan castle with you to battle. (I know silly rule but people forget to do this all the time)
You want to have as many troops available to do the most damage.
3. Always take spells to battle. (again silly rule)
Your spells can make a huge difference in your battle. If you are upgrading your spell factory and it will not be ready on battle day. Sit the war out, but dont think doing war attacks without them does not matter. It matters to us as a team since we all depend on each other to do the best we can.
4. Never take goblins to war. War is for stars, goblins are for loot.
Just like it says Goblins are used to gather loot. War is for stars. During war there is a limited amount of gold and elixir available. This is why there is a large bonus war loot attached to ever base.
5. Your first attack is your number. So if you are #6 you attack #6
This one seems to be the one that causes the most grief. When a war search is done it looks at Membership, Town Hall Level Comparison, Level of Troops and Base Level. It takes all this information and give our clan a strength rating and it uses that number to find a clan that has the closest match up to ours. So the person that is the same number as you should be close to your level. Yes at times they might be a TH up or down, just the luck of the draw. This should also make you question Is my TH/Base where it should be? The second reason we do this is, if everyone attacks their number and something is not 3 starred you have exposed all the traps (we hope). This way when a second attack is done we know where everything is and at what level they are.
6. Your second attack is any base that was not 3 starred on first attack and you know you can get more stars on.
Yes I know at times we like to go big or go home and aim for a higher base to see what we can do, but we need to take in the whole war strategy before we make a choice on a base. If we are so far ahead that there is no way the other clan can catch up then sure lets have some fun, but if it is close we need to stick to the game plan. We would like to see second attacks done to bases 1 above you or 3 below. This will give every level of members a fighting chance. I know at times these options will not be available that is when it is best to ask. If we work as a team we will be successful.
7. Three wave attack strategy.
As many of you know we started a new 3 wave attack strategy that has been working out very well so we are going to make it apart of our war strategy. Below we will outline when and where you should be doing your attacks. This will be based on the size of war we are in. Commit this to memory or write it down because you could be in a different section from the last war depending on the size of it.
20 vs 20 First attack should be done in the first 8 hours. This is the same for every war no matter what the size is. There are exceptions to this. Top 5 can hold both attacks until the end.
Bottom Section Bases 15 20 second attacks to be done before we get down to 16 hours left in war. You are to clean up any bases not 3 starred in your section on the first attack. If all bases have been 3 starred you can then loot or go higher and try a base. If you miss your attack and someone does it, they did not take your base you missed your window of attacking and it became free to everyone.
Middle Section Bases 9 14 second attacks to be done between 16 to 8 hours left in war. You are to clean up any bases not 3 starred in your section on the first attack or any bases in lower section that have not been cleaned up. If all bases have been 3 starred you can then loot or go higher and try a base. If you miss your attack and someone does it, they did not take your base you missed your window of attacking and it became free to everyone.
Top Section Bases 1 8 second attacks to be done during the last 8 hours of the war. You are to clean up any bases not 3 starred in your section on the first attack or anything from other sections that still have stars left. If you miss your attack then you broke the rules.
25 vs 25 Bottom Section 18 25, Middle Section 10 17, Top Section 1 9
30 vs 30 Bottom Section 21 30, Middle Section 11 20, Top Section 1 10
35 vs 35 Bottom Section 24 35, Middle Section 12 23, Top Section 1 -11
40 vs 40 Bottom Section 27 40, Middle Section 14 26, Top Section 1 13
45 vs 45 Bottom Section 31 45, Middle Section 16 30, Top Section 1 15
50 vs 50 Bottom Section 34 50, Middle Section 17 33, Top Section 1 16
8. Pull Clan Castle troops first and kill them dead.
Before you ever start your attack you should have scoped out the base. First thing you need to do is touch their Clan Castle this will bring up the radius you need to get a troop into to activate the castle, pay attention to the number of troops inside. Only drop/send in 1 troop at a time. You might need to drop/send in a second, third and sometime a fourth troop to make sure all of them have come out. We never know what might be inside so it is good to go with a back up plan in place. First plan use poison spell to kill troops if you have dark spell factory if not lightning spell works well. Have wizards and archers to kill troops if spell does not get them all. Heroes and clan castle troops can be back ups as well. There is nothing worse then leaving troops in the clan castle and they chase your troops around and kill them. Also know what troops kill only defenses first (giants, hogs ) and what goes after everything (wizards, archers ). Keep in mind there are some exceptions. On a Dragon/air attack and GOWIPE attack it is not as important to pull cc troops first since the design of the attack will get the troops.
9. Only members with MAX troops or troops that will become MAX on donation can fill war clan castles. We want you to have the best possible troops when defending your base.
I think this one is very self explanatory. Something you might not know. Donations to War Clan Castles do NOT count on your donations. So you are not missing out on donations, you are saving elixir on troops you do not have to build and you are getting great troops to defend your war base.
10. Donate what is asked for. Be careful during war when donating, we want the best possible troops for battle. Level 5+ Wizards, level 3+ Dragons, level 5+ Archers, level 4+ Hogs all good war donations.
We do not have any rule around the number of donations you need to have, this is because we are a war clan and we want the best possible troops for war. We do want you donating and keeping your ratio close to 1:3. That is 1 troop donated for every 3 you receive. Keep in mind receiving 1 dragon and donating 6 archers does not make you ahead. Donation counts the number of spaces the troop takes up. When we are not active in war we expect you, the members, to step up and donate during those times. I know it is easy to get spoiled by the MAX troops but they do cost elixir and we should not expect or request them for non-war attacks. A good rule to follow is Only Request What You Can Give for raids. So if your troops are level 3 dont ask for level 5 Giants. Just ask for Giants. Same goes with troops you can not make. Asking for witches when you can not make them yourself falls in the same category. Just ask for defense troops. If you are going to post for troops and there is a request in the chat screen, you should donate to that member, then post your request. It is just a respectful thing to do.
11. We are here to help each other learn and grow, so help out with questions, ask question, make suggestions we are very open to your thoughts.
12. Our most important rule Have some fun.
