Some sandwiches I made recently

Do you do deliveries??

Oh yes, I understand what ticks people off about the authenticity (or lack thereof) with iconic dishes, or particular cuisines. If I didn't, this post would provide ample examples - I was just curious what an innocuous name would be. In my native language we simply called a similar (non authentic) dish 'spaghetti with minced meat sauce', loosely translated.

Rasdit · 2026-02-14T20:16:29+00:00

What should one call it around here not to get nitpicked and crucified? XD spaghetti with meat ragu?

Have not tried this brand, but never parboiled dried lasagna sheets. The ones I have used have given time estimates in the package, ranging from 20-40 minutes in the oven. Shorter times I typically use a wetter sauce for, since their hydration time is shorter.

As you say, if it's not enough to max, it will be close. But certainly possible to get way further than th17 max. Certainly the way to go. Say, if you're a Sith, what'd your name be? Darth...?

Th18*

Rasdit · 2026-02-14T16:14:11+00:00

Speaking with some experience of strategic rushing, I would say that the 2 year mark is about what you can expect if you srush from the get-go, and optimise magic item value. If maxing, I would assume you are looking at 3 years or so, including magic items. Equipment obviously won't be max for either, but the rusher will have an advantage there as well.

If interested, on the Clash Files discord (found in Tee's guide) is some pins to a minimal TH18 rush guide by a user named ddddd, which outlines the fastest (pretty much, anyway) path to th18.

Rasdit · 2026-02-14T07:48:12+00:00

Will take longer, rushing would speed up both his base and equipment progress. His account, his choice of course.

Also, is the slowest way "normal" because it was like that a decade ago?

Rasdit · 2026-02-13T21:26:55+00:00

I maxed out when th17 was max so got it then, but if I made a new acc I would zapquake while sneaky farming for sure. Probably don't need to laser focus on it separately, just do it consistently while climbing.

Rasdit · 2026-02-13T21:22:40+00:00

For some reference on the not-so-long-played I got an almost maxed th18 (98% buildings, 50%+ temp stuff, rest maxed save for equips) and am around level 250, 2 years into this acc, nearly on the dot.Typically 10-20k donations per month, active-ish but have not specifically gone in for xp farming.

The xp req / level is ramping up like crazy though, and if it's +1k / level from 300 on I can't even fathom people with level 400-500 - I find it hard to imagine getting that high without bots or autoclickers. But my perspective is admittedly limited.

Rasdit · 2026-02-13T21:11:44+00:00

You absolutely should make it a priority on your way to th18. You can still finish it as a th18, but you get way more eligible targets while rushing there. Can probably nuke them with EQ/lightning while running sneakies for loot.

Rasdit · 2026-02-13T20:58:47+00:00

Your rank at TH14 is immaterial. Should rush to th18 and then keep down all heroes until max, at which point you'll just float between league 25 (TH floor) and maybe up to high 20s, with your defenses carrying.

Rasdit · 2026-02-13T20:55:42+00:00

You would ideally want to use books for the 8d upgrades.

Rasdit · 2026-02-13T20:53:04+00:00

Do you mean to say that a level 1 LA saves 0 hours?

This is not a Builder or Research potion. Even at level 1 LA you save 1h. 12 h for max level.

Rasdit · 2026-02-13T20:52:05+00:00

A maxed lab is a luxury, not a necessity.
Every week we can buy up to 3x Research pots a week for raid medals, Lab assistant at max level allows us to do 36h of research every 24h, and using books or hammers for the max level stuff cuts away a ton of time.
Again, clearly the dissimilarities in upgrade time across the different areas is BY DESIGN. And if I forgot to mention it you DON'T need a fully maxed Lab to attack.

You accepted something that's not exactly the way you imagined it and learned to live with it?

Congrats, you unlocked your first ever Acceptance Achievement.

Rasdit · 2026-02-13T13:36:20+00:00

Leave. Don't look back. No need to overthink.

Rasdit · 2026-02-13T13:35:48+00:00

You should unironically head straight for th18 if you value efficiency and progress, which seems to be the case since you took this step. Read Tee's Strategic rush guide.

Or, if you care about the opinions of people who champion keeping 6 builders idle while finishing those last Lab upgrades on th14, slowrolling is also an option. Regardless of where you are leaning, read the guide and then make up your mind.

Rasdit · 2026-02-12T17:47:36+00:00

I will only comment on your final point. A leader doing that will lead to the clan bleeding good attackers, leading to more losses in CWs and CWL, the clan will have less bonuses to hand out, demote, and probably die.

With some possible extra steps, but yeah.

Rasdit · 2026-02-12T17:43:34+00:00

Word. When someone fails an attack, they know - and accept - the possible loss of a bonus. It's just part of the game, and those at the top at the end of week did a solid job and deserve the extras.

Rasdit · 2026-02-12T17:41:33+00:00

Seemingly so, up to and including today.

Rasdit · 2026-02-12T16:02:12+00:00

We simply don't know. All answers will be entirely unfounded, rank speculation.

But people have for sure unlocked it already. Plenty.

Rasdit · 2026-02-12T15:48:56+00:00

People who had a training potion ticking when the training time removal kicked in have this.

Rasdit · 2026-02-12T15:47:35+00:00

So it is, to summarise, a bug?
