Superqueen Nerf Just Made it More Popular

I don't even think I would have used a Super Queen attack.

Hm.

Here's when I got attacked by Super Queen. Nope.. she didn't get much..

Noticing a common theme there.

Not one attacker used EQs. It's what makes my SQ successful.

We do know the difference between SuperQueen, and QueenWalk, right? They have different names because they are different strats. I'm DE hunting. Not walking. Not looking for three stars. I'm going for that nice shiny black object in the core of the base.

To all of you crying about sq, get a better base. I queen walk all day with giant, wiz, valk dagger and 80-100% max th10 as a th10. The reason it is possible is because people are using square base designs with few compartments and are not pairing up their towers. Put 2 xbow on ground and an archer right next to cannon or two archers and you will force them to use rages. This significantly cripples aq walk. Also set your archers a bit inside of walls so she has to pull inward to get them. Change your base dont try to ruin one of the creative skill-based attacks this game has to offer. It wont save your resources it will only force more people to gowipe and drool on their devices while they mouth breathe through the attack.

I've still never been hit by it. Even though I have a th8 ripe for the picking.

SQ is OP there is no way around it lol. It's too bad that it's basically the best use for healers at th9+

No, the best use for healers for th9+ is wallbreakers and healers. Overpowered strat, works everytime

I take 4 EQ, 6 wb, some giants for tanks. Some wiz to funnel. EQ the area at core and secondary walls. Tanks distract and wb crack the shallow wall. Wiz funnel. 2 rages to protect my AQ. Guess what? I get the DE tank. Always.

quoting so I can find it again. 5 more days till she wakes up, then I'll be giving it a go. I'll find some you tube videos and read a bit more on the strategy involved. Thanks.

Even if that person used EQ or Jump, it still wouldnt matter. All EQ/jump-able spots from all sides have a funnel around my DE storage made so that if the queen gets in range of it and uses her skill, the Healers would die because my air defenses/teslas/infernos/air hitting xbows which are catered to hit anything within the 2nd layer, will destroy them easily. By the time the Queen gets back from invisibility, it's possible she may have destroyed my DE storage, but at the same time.. she hasn't destroyed much of my other storages and TH as well. SQ puts too much emphasis into getting either DE storage or other storages. It's either you get 200k/200k/192 (for example) or you get 73k/102k/2.8k (unless you're hitting a rushed/non strategic base that collected a lot of loot.

The point being... SQ and Queen Walk isn't the "One army beats all" strategy that its being "popularized" to be.

GoWiPe/GoGiWi would be a lot more successful (even though the cost is there)

I will agree with you there. I wouldn't say it is. In doing so many SQ's, I've learned what base not to hit, not matter how juicy it is. I'd say that's far and few between though. Maybe 95% of the bases I see are ripe for it. You probably have one I wouldn't hit. The beauty is- if that's the case, the very next base I come across after you is prolly the jackpot.

With other comps I may have found myself nexting a bit. With SQ, I hit within a few minutes. And the additional minutes it took searching was usually because they didn't have enough loot to waste my time.

SQ looks easy. But it takes skill to ensure she enters the core.

Most SQ on my base fail and end up being QW instead. And I've begun seeing more hybrid versions from the traditional low troops for clearing and funneling. Seeing giants and wiz for funneling, hogs for taking out weapons as needed.

Do most fail because they are inexperienced with SQ? IDK, just that, for the same investment in GiBarch or GiWiBarch the attacker would have better success getting to the core. If for no other reason the AI on those troops is more reliable.

But I have so say... I've been wondering if QW will be the new TH Snipe up in Masters/Champs to get the 50% 1 star for the league bonus and bonus near edge storages, as it is pretty well not stoppable. Because every failed SQ that became a QW got at least 50% on my base. And my own failed SQ that became QW shopping sprees have also never failed to get min 50% on a maxed base.

My biggest beef with it was, I did not know how to replan / transition from a SQ when presented with a dead collector base. I'd look at my 8 healers wishing they were just plain cheap barch.

And in my last however many GiWiBarch raids into the core, they ALL succeed getting the dex - I don't remember the last time I didn't get the core dex. So far I cannot say the same for SQ. But as the new TH Snipe up in Masters / Champs it is something I'll have to try.
