Supercell Still Does Unfair War Matches

Especially if you have TH 0.5, these will absolutely wreck your match now. I am pretty sure Supercell closed the gap. The last war we faced was very unfairly matched. From War weight perspective, we were 44000 points outmatched. From base perspective, 2/3 of opponents bases are stronger than our equal. This is totally unfair. I hope Supercell will rather search longer and find a closer match.


Sweet Spot of an Archer Queen Upgrade level

This is a very interesting graph to show. The question is what level of AQ upgrade give you the best ROI? (Return of Investment). Although we all know each upgrade gives her a bit more HP and a bit more DPS, but how does that translate to destroy defenses.

In this simulation, the person used typical TH10 defenses as benchmark and calculated how many shots would AQ fire to wipe all of them per level. You can see once she hits level 20, her ability of destruction drastically increases. The sweetest upgrades are between level 10 -15 and 20 - 25 where she reduced number of shots by the largest margin. Then it slows down. Once you pass 30, upgrades between 30 - 35 really sux. You are not getting much unless you go all the way to 36. And there is really no point upgrading between 36-40

Squatting Bear invented Hybrid Attack

Wow.. Baby Bear is the inventor of hybrid guys!!! While he was still a baby bear, he used the giants and hog combo and prob three starred his opponents every time!!! Here is an ancient video from 2 years ago. Think i was eating sushi and recorded using my iPad on top of my ancient iPhone 4

Funneling 101 and TH10 raids

In Clash, there is really only one rule. It's called "Distance Calculation". Your troops are gonna go to the nearest building or nearest defense. If you can manage where they are going, your 95% there. So, funneling is a huge part of a successful raid. The idea is to take out some building structures before hand so your main squad can go where you want them to go per the "distance" rule.

Funneling is very crucial to your kill squad's success so they go exactly where you want them to go to take out CC, AQ, designate bombs or kill AD depending on what your objective is, Funneling is even more crucial to TH10 raids success. Because on TH10, every sub second counts, the longer your troops stay in the wrong spot without taking stuff down, the slimmer the chance you reach TH or 50% or both. On TH10, your number 1 object is to get the golems tanking you to the core as fast as you could manage while covering grounds.. 

Now I am going to show you 2 videos on funneling and 1 video on TH10 raids. The first is made from the replays from our last war. I will show you why Poker's raid failed on 4 but Muzi succeeded. Then I will do an analysis on Bear's raid on 3, showing you his thinking process, why he ditched freeze and why this raid was such a massive success




Now onto the more technical details on funneling.
Unfortunately the examples are shown with TH9 raids, but it's the same concept



Now, onto TH10 raids. 

For TH10, especially when you are dealing with max defenses, you need to have a very detailed plan. What you want to take out first, what's next. And that varies by map. TH10 raids are the hardest because I still believe the troop strength is owerpowered by max defenses.There is not a lot of rooms for error, hence funneling is huge so with very limited resources you have, they can still get the job done by going down the right path.

I have seen many failed Gowi raids on TH10 is cuz your golems went sideways and left your troops and heroes behind taking on fire. They just can't sustain that for too long. The raids fail cuz you didn't funnel correctly.

There is no one or two strategies for TH10, every map requires a different way of thinking/planning. But I think here are the core questions you must ask before planning out a good raid.
1) If you are doing Gowiwi ground, how do you get your tanks to the core while still covering 50% ground?? How will you ensure your golems will not leave your heroes and wiz hanging??
2) If you are doing air, how many ADs can u take out before sending in Laloons?? Can I kill queen and CC??

Watch this TH10 episode and focus on the thinking process of each successful raid. Every raid's every step has it's purpose, whether it's taking out ADs by kill squad or AQ walk taking down defenses. Nothing is random. In order to carry out every step of the plan, you have to funnel so no Oops moment. TH10 can't afford "Oops" and that's really the key to TH10 success.

How to become Elder and Coleader

Officers are earned, shouldn't be given. So I have spelled out the clear rules how you can become elder and Co in the clan and how to maintain your title once you earned it.

I will not make any changes to the existing titles until the end of this current season, which is Dec 5. So you have 25 days to catch up if your number is low. 

Here it is :

Dansk mini war

Here is the reason why you shouldn't be copying bases from the Internet. Cuz there are millions of videos showing you how to three star them. A huge chunk of this coming war's TH9's are using popular internet bases. So I am going to list them here with the videos to show you how to three star them

#2 PCB - popular Chinese base. It's not exact same configuration, but close enough with some variation. Check out the Golaloon version, it's very close to our war's #2 base. Make sure you go from the queen side.



#3 and #6 are The Kardashians. There are so many ways to three star this ancient base


#5 The Giza
Holowiwi 3 (with commentary): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEi7279G6hE




#7 can be Gowiwi three starred
#8 is too weak so just trash it with whatever lol

Top War Clans and Our Stats

Interestingly enough, seems Supercell has opened up API access to pull data out?? This site has a lot of clan's war stats in their database, including ours!!!!! I didn't even track how many we won/loss/tie since inception but here it is.


You can see all the top war clans here :
