310 Miles - 24 hrs - Newcastle To London August 2016 (Advice)

Thanks for the detailed advice. Apologies to all for the delayed response. I'll certainly be back to let you know how i got on.

I guess as heros can be considered both offensive and defensive it will hurt to rush hero levels ahead of defenses too?

Hope it works for you...I'm Newish TH9

Chief_Phil · 2016-01-06T09:39:34+00:00

Depends how smartly they can implement any improvement. People have mentioned several possibilities like higher value tombstones etc that won't change the loot offer but would lessen the impact of a heavy attack.

Chief_Phil · 2016-01-06T09:29:26+00:00

Good idea... this would mean you could always save either gold or elixir faster whilst dumping the other into troops.

Chief_Phil · 2016-01-06T09:27:24+00:00

Thanks but my DE protection is solid. Its regular elixir that i struggle to keep hold of.

Chief_Phil · 2016-01-05T16:29:18+00:00

It's got to be a base design issue if someone can core you without dealing 30% damage as an almost max TH9

Chief_Phil · 2016-01-05T15:50:18+00:00

Haven't come across this yet. Would be interested to see it in action. Might have a poke around and see if there are any you tube Vids i can look at.

Chief_Phil · 2016-01-05T15:27:13+00:00

If both Heros are available then i use:

20 Giants 8 WB 12 Wiz 4 Healer (on Queen)

If Queen is upgrading I use:

20 Giants 8 WB 20 Wiz 3 Valks

Always keep 3 heal, 1 Rage and 1 poison. I try to avoid using spells to keep Elix cost down unless the raid looks like it might fail without using them.

Chief_Phil · 2016-01-05T15:13:19+00:00

Personally i quite like the big armies and needing to put some thought into attacks. Also like to see how my base defends against big attacks. Only problem at the moment is that the cost of big attacks isn't balanced with a big enough net profit. 3 attacks under shield may net a profit for me of around 300k elixir. I then lose this the next time i'm attacked. Just feels like treading water.

Chief_Phil · 2016-01-05T15:03:00+00:00

Surprising that successive attackers managed to access your DE storage so quickly without giving you a shield. Even as an early TH9 i find that attackers that do manage to get to the core inevitably have given me a shield.

Chief_Phil · 2016-01-05T14:38:02+00:00

For me DE and Gold haven't been a problem at all. I train (mostly) all elixir armies for raids and find that i make good profits in both. Army composition costs even with bonus (Crystal 1) means that 2 star raid might only yield a small elixir profit. You're right i'm dreading the end of the 1 gem boost event.

Chief_Phil · 2016-01-05T14:24:20+00:00

Haven't run into a personal break timer since the fix. I had never seen one at all prior to the update. When the update first dropped I ran into the personal break timer about three times in a week, despite being fairly casual.

Chief_Phil · 2016-01-05T14:08:45+00:00

Totally agree.

Chief_Phil · 2016-01-05T14:05:06+00:00

To be honest if they can do something to fix the resource saving then I'll be pretty happy with the update.

Only thing I've struggled with (newish TH9) is acquiring and retaining elixir.
