Clash of Clans

It feels good to be making progress. I'm TH9 have finally finished upgrading all my defenses. I've got a bit over half of my walls up to lvl9. I just have the dragon and valc to upgrade along with all the new spells.

I'm in no hurry. I'm going to hang out at lvl9 until I get all my walls upgraded to lvl10. So, it looks like I'll be at TH9 for another year or so.
 
Right on, wannabe. I am finally TH10, so my builders are all busy as hell upgrading err'thang. It's nice to have them busy again. :laughing
 
It sure is. :laughing

There was something awhile back on FB that had him as the baby in a series of Renaissance paintings. Good times. :rofl
 
Still in the beginning stages of TH8 and it sucks. Any time I'm saving for an upgrade, I just get hammered for a ton of loot. I'm defensively building up things I don't care about because the stuff I want takes too long to fully save for.

Annoying

TH8 was tough for me, too. Life got a lot better at TH9.

I was the opposite. TH8 was Nirvana compared to TH9 for me. It was easy to find a bunch of abandoned TH7 bases for 200K each, so loot came really easy. The 50% loot penalty at TH9 really made things a lot harder for me.
 
Congrats on TH9 progress wannabe.

I'm at the same spot. I have about 150 walls left. And all the new DE Spell upgrades for the lab.

Hopefully this weekend I can start AQ20, then I'll start bumping BK from 15 to 20.

Also congrats Lunch Box! The promised land at last!

I'm a bit behind you on the heroes. My AQ is at 15 and my BK is upgrading to 13 right now. I just noticed last night that max for TH9 is lvl30 for both. So, I still have a long way to go.

I have just been upgrading the walls sporadically when I had too much loot in my storages and had a few days to wait until a builder freed up. It won't be long until I have all builders free after I finish upgrading the bombs too.
 
My AQ is 25, but my BK is only 11. He is low priority for me :laughing

So, how do you actually do a loonian attack? I have max loons, but I have no idea how to use them. What is your army & spell distribution? Do you rawk a bunch of healing spells to heal up the loons as they go through the base, and once the air defenses and archers are toast, let the minions loose?

I use 24 loons, the rest minions. 3 rage, 2 freeze and 1 poison, but I rarely use more than two rage spells and almost never use the freeze.

If I'm trophy hunting, I use 2-3 loons on each archer tower and then pick off buildings to 50% with minions. No spells. I make sure I pick bases where there are archer towers towards the outside and air defense closer to the inside.

For loot raidin, i lay out a line of 12 loons in one area and another line of 12 loons to the side of the first line. (if the bas is a clock, I'll lay loons from 9-6:30 and then more form 5:30-3, for example. I'll drop rage spells for each group deeper into the base (put them where the loons will be). Then, I'll drop about 20 minions behind each loon assault (40 total). If it's going well, I'll drop another rage spell in the middle and if there are defenses right next to the th, the splash damage will take out the th (or come very close).

If I've gotten enough loot, I'll stop. If it looks like I can plow in for more, I'll drop the heros and once they've creared out some more defenses, drop the rest of the minions.

If early on the loons are getting decimated, I'll use the freeze. This happen maybe 5% of the time. I haven't tried haste yet because I love the splash damage multiplier with the loons.

I completely ignore the clan castle. With the rage, the loons take out the troops quickly with splash damage and now that we have posion, I can just drop that. The exception is a dragon in the cc. If there is one, I'll drop some minions near it to take it out.

For war, I use 18 loons, 4 hounds and 15 minions, 3 rage, 2 freeze and 1 poison. I use all spells. I also have my cc filled with loons.

I drop the hounds first, two per air defense, but on diffrent paths to trip the air mines. I'll send in the loons in as before, two different groups and basically the same strategy as loot raiding, but I'm all in with the spells and use the freeze spells earlier to freeze xbows or infernos. Usually good for 2 starts, sometimes 3.

Infernos do not scare me with the loons. They are strong enought that multi doesn't do much and single has to pick them off one at a time.

To be honest, I'm usually hoarding oil, so I use 12 giants, 100 archers, 40 goblins, 10 wall breakers and I keep 10 minions in reserve. 2 rage, 2 heal, 1 freeze and 1 poison. With this layout, I typically only use one heal spell and target my effors to get the oil, which is usually in the middle. I also ensure I get one star for the loot bonus (I'm camped out in Crystal 1 right now).

I will usually use all but the minions. I keep them just in case I'm close to 50% but not quite there.
 
Yeah, when I was hanging out in Crystal I (I'm in gold 1 right now) I usually used either hogs/archers or giants, witches, archers. The loot bonus up there is pretty nice.

I hang out in Crystal III nowadays. The 35K bonus plus 100 DE is nice. Surprizingly, I'm not having any issues finding bases that haven't been played with in a couple of days. Usually, a few minutes of searching will result on a base with 200,000+ each of elixer and gold in the mines and collectors. Easy pickings with BARCH.
 
In my last war I tried out a GoHoPe hybrid. Got two stars because I ran out of time but was super excited the attack seemed successful. I took too much time killing the drag in cc which is why I ran out of time. Once the plan part started it was like butter.

Basically a GoVaHo with 2 pekkas instead of 6 valks.

Other than that it was a good day. Got to level 6 clan today.
 
Sooo glad I didn't upgrade that drill yesterday!

Wish it were a barracks boost, though. That would be awesome.
