-------------------------------------

Entries : Muzi, Seb , Will and Sadak all entered. Muzi hit 58% on a TH10 without infernos so Will and Seb are still in the lead. Sadak didn't hit 50% one star, so that entry isn't qualified.

Here are Will's and Seb's. They are very close. Will hit a few percentage higher, But Seb had to deal with stronger defenses cuz of the max cannons. I call this a tie. They currently both win the prize.

Here are the screenshots;

Good TH8 TH9 war bases

We wasted 4 attacks on this freakin TH8 base and only two starred it. 3 attacks from strong TH8 players only one starred it. So go figure. Be creative where you want to plant tesla and bombs. I only red penned what I saw

This is my base. two guys tried.. barely one starred it. I would sub the north end of buildings such as lab, barracks to gold elixer or DE storage buildings. So it will take a while for dragons to get to that AD.  Remember to always use your storage buildings as a strong buffer cuz the hitpoints on these buildings are really high

Some Good TH9 n TH10 War Bases

I did find raiding Ringus maps is a bit more challenging. Golems would go the other way unless you place a jump right in time or break the ring. Here is a pretty good ringus TH9 map:

This one has multi layers making gowipe a bit harder. Plenty spaces for traps and double giant bombs if ppl want to hog raid you. Thx to Muzi for finding this one:

This one will be a tough 3 star base because you think you have an easier way to enter from south, But there are so many defenses there, could cost a lot of your troops by the time you entered the core. Teslas are right next to the Dark Storage on both sides. I raided this one and had a hard time passing 65% destruction with max TH9 troops. The north end is packed with walls and hitpoints heavy storage structures. Def a tough 3 star base:

This has been my favorite TH10 map. I think Reggie Fatmat myself all tried this one and the Heros just refuse to go into the core. If you dare to enter from south, the heavy defenses will fry you before you know it. If you enter from North, you go around and around. I am copying this one:

War Against Chinese Snake Goddess Clan

Well, another Chinese Clan!!! Squatting Bear has a message to share here so we won't be tea bag terminated by the Chinese...


Except..... this Chinese clan is mainly female, taking the clan name after one of the oldest Chinese legends about a thousand year old beauty snake queen falling for a human man.. Jet Li even made a movie out of it :



Well, female snake or not, we are taking them down. First off, if you are new, please read our clan rules and war rules on the right hand side under "About" section.

Do not fill War CC unless you have max troops.

One most distinct features about this clan is they love their black walls. So carry wbs if you go ground. Here is the chart as how many wbs u need. So plan accordingly:

Base analysis:

Good Air bases : 

5,6,17. All TH8 bases have pretty high Air Defenses (ADs) and they are tucked away. If you are doing all dragon raids, here are the rule of thumbs : Always knock out ADs first and kill as many as you can before releasing dragons. It takes 3 lvl 4 lightings to kill 1 lvl 6 AD. If there are three lvl 6 ADs, you will not 3 star the base unless you kill 1 before hand and get lucky. Mark my word. You are better off raiding with 6,7 dragons and followed by bunch of max loons. But max only. 

Good Gowipe, Gowiwi,Gowiwipe Bases:

You want to look for spread out ones with less wall layers.  6,8,9,10,11,13 are not bad for the top dogs.  17,18,19,20,21,22,25,26,29,31,34 are all pretty doable. 

Hogging

Be cautious if you are hogging. I don't see many good options. 33 is not bad.. But look out for the 2x4 spaces inside. Double giant bombs kill a horde of hogs. Also, don't hog on TH10. You can't heal with infernos are on u. Especially if infernos are set to multi, ur hog army is dead for sure

Kitty's $20 No Dark Ground Troop Comp - Ends 10/11 6pm Eastern

This comp is hosted by Kitty. Runs from 10/9, ends on 10/11 6pm EST.

Rules:
None Dark ground troops only. Healers OK. Heroes OK. No spells. 1 Dark Elixer = 100 regular Elixer. Add all loot up. Most loot wins.

Winners:
One winner from each TH level. Yup. TH10 dudes compete among themselves, same for TH9,8,7. 4 Winners total

Prize: $20 itune card or google play card.

Goals: This comp is put together to help the clan to practice with ground troops while still be able to farm and save Dark elixer to upgrade power troops such as golem, valk and witch. Winners can use the cards to gem some power troops since golem costs boat load of DE.

How to 3 star with lava Hound

Thanks to Whiterun. he found this video. Check it out if you are air raiding with Hound.

War against Poland Spring

This is not a typical clan we have faced, at least not from the bases we have seen. None of the base is rushed. They are all maxed at each TH level. You can read their clan desc that they require none rushed bases to join and the clan is newly created for war.

After scanning through the bases, very few can be raided by dragons and almost all bases are anti-hogging. So you must check in with a co before you want to dragon or hog raid any bases.

How to fight this clan?? After talking to Brett and Chris, your best bet is to go ground and use Gowipe - Golem, wiz and pekka. And a lot of wall breakers. Carry rage spells. Here is a sample army composition:

2 golems (3 golems if space allowed for TH9/10 folks)

-3 pekkas 

-14 - 18 wizards 

-9-12 wallbreakers 

-rest archers 

3 rage and 1 lightning

-Start every battle by checking clan castle for troops and killing heroes; Deploy both of your golems, apply rage and drop wall breakers right after; start dropping archers and half your wizards to clear the outside building to make a straight path for the pekkas; once outside is cleared, deploy your pekkas and the rest of your wizards plus your heros, apply a rage spell; Deploy clan castle if needed, once troops are near the center, use your last rage so they get the TH fast. You can ask for a high lvl pekka (25 space) or a golem(30 spaces)  from the leadership. If only 20 spaces in CC, ask for 5 max wizzies.

Advanced players can use Gowiwi or Gowiwipe. I agree with Brett, even lvl 1golem pekka will do better than dragons.

How to Raid TH9 and TH10 with dragons and balloons

I love air raiding but dragons are unpredictable. They always go the wrong way!!. Dragons are best raided if you think "Carpet Sweeping". You must have your entire dragon army cover the grounds and then just sweep across the map. Sp SPREAD YOUR DRAGONS.  Also notice both attackers took their time to pick off some outer skirt buildings first. If you have max loons, they take out defenses for the dragons.



 This video is for you TH10 folks with max dragons

War against Zoo Animals

Clanimals is a cute name.. But their bases ain't that cute. This clan will be tougher to deal with just by scanning through their bases, so you need to put on your A game when dealing with this clan. Again, we want to minimize wasted attacks as much as possible. So study the war bases and DO NOT aim high.

First of, even the lowly TH8 has purple Wiz Towers and Lvl 6 ADs. A lot of bases are anti hogs with rooms for double giant bombs. So count your tiles before you release ur hogs, Any space that is 2x4 inside of the base is bad news for your hogs. A few of their bases have very difficult CC, so make sure when you are scouting the bases, tab on the CC and see the range, then you know how to lure CC out.

For example, #29 seems to have double giant bombs by the lower left Wiz Tower but it's not. Wiz tower is 3x3. The space right next to it is 2x3 and the guy used two wall pieces to fill the holes. So there might just be one. But #26 by the Wiz Tower next to TH can very well be double giant bombs. So DON'T raid your hogs into that one.

#22 has very hard CC. Your will not lure CC out unless you get into the second tier of the structures. The base is designed to confuse the ground troops so you waste your time to go zig zagging... So this is a tough one if you don't place your troops smart enough.

Anyway, these are just the examples as how to study the war bases.. As usually, check in with a CO before you attack. We want to make sure you are not outmatched.

One more note, if you only have lvl 1 golem pekka, STAY AWAY from top 20 bases. You won't make it. Pick a TH8 to attack. Same goes to giants wiz archer armies. For lower members, if you only have level 4 ground troops, you will not even make it on the bottom bases. If you have level 2 dragons, you might be able to three star but these bottom bases are pretty strong TH8. The best you can do is to raid the base, do your best and expose the traps for other higher members to clean.

Good luck!
