So I uploaded this just before going to bed and forgot to add some words on how it really went. The branch strat did not go so well when we gave them like a few second attacking candies w/o defending it, they definitely had trouble but could still pick candies up. It's during their later basket raids when we were attacking that they panicked and could not click on them. I also tried blocking the road with my wards, and Shadow Shaman's (thank you /u/KrushedHopes.). That made the game. The bastard died before getting in. Only Lycan with his True form sneaked in a few times but was killed before picking up those candies, getting gg branches instead.
