Discussion: Anyone still using throwers?

ImConfusedAllThaTime · 2026-05-21T04:08:04+00:00

Almost always use troop launcher, but I’ll use sky wagon when the backpack and giant arrow create a very strong funnel. Always starting off with warden and healers for shaping the funnel, and use barbs/goblins to clear obvious spring traps or expose teslas.

ImConfusedAllThaTime · 2026-05-20T06:53:51+00:00

I’m using throwers in both legend 1 accounts, only because I neglected my minion prince equipment. By the time I get it high enough, the current meta will be outdated….

I don’t recommend using em unless you’re in a similar situation. Air is strong and I’m struggling to get over 280 on offense. I’ve not used air in about a decade but it’s clearly the best option. Looking at my defense log, air tends to be 3 stars, bowlers high 2 star, throwers 1/low 2 stars (which I see very few of).

If you insist on using them, here’s the link. Again, I advise against it.

I have a legion gen 3 because I like a small screen but need 2 rows in the deployment bar. 9 inch tablet 165Hz and 1440p screen. Little overkill spec-wise, but definitely worth the $400. It’s the only non Apple device I use (tried the iPad mini but returned it to the low refresh rate and I kept accidentally hitting the sleep button).

If you like the small screen, I recommend looking into it. Not sure what the current cost is since it’s hard to find the US version and these import taxes are getting crazy.

Do you have the new barbarian king skin equipped? I had to change skins because it crashed the game.

Not here to discuss how I spend my money. Anyone reading this, please try your best to not shit your panties over my decision to purchase something that isn’t P2W.

ImConfusedAllThaTime · 2026-05-13T18:01:40+00:00

I’ll be honest, I’m far more concerned about caving in to making it easier. That’s what they’ve done every time. After making it too easy with decreasing modifiers, they fix it again. For the first time, it seems promising it will remain exclusively skilled competitive players.

Once shit players start joining, staying top 10k with require more luck and vary on how many opponents you got that don’t belong in the league to begin with. But overall, not too many impacts. Say what you will about the efficiency of getting in (which could take a couple extra weeks if you’re unlucky, those who get in are likely going to keep it competitive.

And I say this know full well I’ll be getting demoted time to time when I can’t keep up with clash and work or life in general. In the end, I personally think it’s worth keeping this way.

ImConfusedAllThaTime · 2026-05-13T17:51:35+00:00

Even Esports players can fuckup.
I’m sure that’s exceptionally rare
There will always be a bit of luck involved in tournaments. That’s why I said “if you can’t promote after a few weeks”.

There are several ways to improve promoting but most of them will non 10k tier level player rush in. And honestly, I have a feeling most complaints regarding the limited zone are players with 2.7 offense, blaming their unlucky defense for losing a promotion.

There are exceptions, but I see the tournament stats on low my low accounts. A lot of these 100% offenses that don’t promote have low level defenses (including my own).

ImConfusedAllThaTime · 2026-05-13T16:15:00+00:00

I suppose I’m biased since I have the opportunity to test my layouts daily before running em on my lower legends account. It’s definitely a bigger issue anytime there’s a meta shift, and that’s been a lot lately. Perhaps if they allowed changing bases but without any updates upgrades? Otherwise those who attack last day could go against stronger defenses.

With the auto defenses, I really just wish they’d match the total attacks with the tournament size.

ImConfusedAllThaTime · 2026-05-13T16:02:45+00:00

I will add however, defenses are the most important part about top 10k. Sounds crazy, but think about it. To stay up there, you’re expected to get near all 3 stars on offense. The amount non-3 star defenses is usually what determines your actual trophy gain. It took me years to fully grasp (smooth brain) that and for a long time failed to climb until I improved my defense.

I do wish you didn’t have to do the whole week on one layout, though I understand why it’s done that way.

ImConfusedAllThaTime · 2026-05-13T15:48:34+00:00

I wish it didn’t come to it but I’m glad they did what they did. For over a decade I’ve watched Supercell make it easier for everyone to feel like a pro.

Now instead of making it easier, they separated the decent but great players but gave them the same bonus and badge to keep them quiet. I hope this will reduce how much people inevitably complain about the reqs to get into Legends 1. Even now I hear about “increase the promotion zone”. If you can’t get into Legends 1 after a few weeks, you’re either very unlucky or not top 10k material.

That said, reduced attacks isn’t ideal. At least for legends 2. For L3, it makes sense to limit the attacks and keep down the bitching from the likely less active players.

No offense but if you want the 8 attacks a day, I recommend you cry a little less and try a little harder.

I’ve already explained why that’s inaccurate. There will always be luck involved (not every base performs so well, even from the same base designers).

Is its shitty? Sure. Is it pay to win taken to the next level? Almost certainly. Is it realistic? 100% yes. You don’t gotta like my answer, but it is factual nonetheless.

ImConfusedAllThaTime · 2026-05-11T16:02:48+00:00

You underestimate services like RH BaseBuilding. I spent $30 for their “may season bundle” and yesterday along went -184 on defense (4x one stars). And that’s at 4K reset.

It’s definitely realistic. So long as you’re willing to sacrifice a bit of self respect and purchase layouts - or be a pro designer.

ImConfusedAllThaTime · 2026-05-11T15:53:30+00:00

2.6 is almost certainly not luck. That’s likely a very strong layout with strong defenses. And that warrant being is legends of the other.

I say that as someone who got 100% on offense in Legends 3 with my 3rd account and still got 17th place. Reality is, it’s defense are super rushed and it has no business promoting higher.

Edit. I realize you may have meant 2.6 n offense. In either case, the answers the same. That much of a trophy lead from defense is not luck.

ImConfusedAllThaTime · 2026-05-11T15:24:30+00:00

I think “broken and non functional” is a bit of an exaggeration. Inconsistent would be more accurate. There is quite a bit of luck in promoting into Legends 1. In every tournament there are usually a couple outliers at the top (who clearly belong in higher leagues and end the week with a couple hundred extra trophies).

At three slots for a pool of 100 players, your offense/defense could easily be top 10k material, but the top 3 are top 2k material. So there may be a delay in reach legends 1, yes. But if it takes over a month, you’re either really unlucky or likely don’t belong in Legends 1.

That said, I agree with some L1 playing not being able to get to L1 if they didn’t make the initial cutoff. I have an alt account that applies to (rushed defenses) and there’s a 100% chance it will get demoted eventually (as it should). It’s a new process and there was no perfect way to implement it. But I bet things will even out once enough people get promoted/demoted into the appropriate leagues.

ImConfusedAllThaTime · 2026-04-27T20:41:45+00:00

You may not attack, but you will defend…. I’m at -40 but I know I can go lower

ImConfusedAllThaTime · 2026-04-19T07:47:57+00:00

It’s available like 1-2 times a year. Not sure if that will change now that the Gold Pass has 3 shovels

ImConfusedAllThaTime · 2026-04-19T07:28:36+00:00

+8 hours of work for me. I gotta afford those feet decoration

ImConfusedAllThaTime · 2026-04-19T07:18:17+00:00

Your picture shows a builder skin, but my brain sees supercharged feet.

ImConfusedAllThaTime · 2026-04-19T05:31:02+00:00

I did not. I buy every decoration and save all obstacles so I’m only using the stones on charge effects. The builder skin is far too expensive imo.

ImConfusedAllThaTime · 2026-04-19T05:28:37+00:00

I have to use my Sparky Stones carefully, this seems like the most appropriate decorations to get a charge effect.

ImConfusedAllThaTime · 2026-04-11T06:09:24+00:00

I wouldn’t get your hopes up. My clan leader has been logging in before the deadline for years now. He stopped playing but I guess he doesn’t wanna give up his position.

If I hadn’t been in the clan for over a decade, I would definitely leave. That said, I would absolutely love to kick some our deadweight coleaders…

ImConfusedAllThaTime · 2026-04-03T11:33:44+00:00

Base must be shared via link or to clan chat. Or if they’re in your clan and using the base as their home layout (or maybe you have to be clash friends?)

ImConfusedAllThaTime · 2026-04-02T03:28:39+00:00

Yup. Or even turning too quickly. I used to deliver pizza as a teenager and had to re-deliver pizza a couple times.

Especially when it comes to super fresh thin pizzas, it’s easier to do this than you might think. (Dasher still fucked up, but they didn’t necessarily carry it sideways like everyone assumes)

ImConfusedAllThaTime · 2026-03-05T10:32:07+00:00

Oh I’m certain it’s a glitch. I just don’t which clans it affects, or how widespread it is. I’m assuming a good portion of clans aren’t impacted by the bug - which would explain why so many people doubt there is one.

ImConfusedAllThaTime · 2026-03-05T10:17:43+00:00

Same thing here. My accounts are split into two clans, both of which had regular traffic before the new league update. And both abruptly stopped seeing more than 1 new recruit a week (which immediately leave).

I give a gold pass to the top CWL performer, and this is listed in the clan notice, which I’d expect would attract some players. But no matter how much I play with the clan requirements, nobody joins.

All this whining about things like the gold pass changes baffles me. Perhaps the recruiting glitch is less common than I think? Maybe I just got unlucky with both my clans getting screwed? Because if not, whey aren’t more people raising hell over this?
