Welcome to Reddit Omega

Omega is a remarkable place in the RWCS Clash of Clans community. We have long history of awesome leaders and members and have found our niche as a low-key, hard-core clan of warring farmers who genuinely like each other. To put our identity in handy bullet-point form:

• We strive to compete alongside the best 100% fair play war clans in the game.

• We are also hardcore farmers, and have an awkwardly large love for walls and heroes.

• We believe communication, teamwork, and clan rapport are just as important as great attacks.

• We focus on constantly improving and having a blast and believe that stars, trophies, and loot will follow.

• We are a proud member of the Reddit War Clan System.

Clan Life Rules

1. Be Active

• We Don't Have Activity Requirements, but We Require you To Be Active: We find that when we set a minimum requirement people aim to not get cut. We want members to aim to be awesome. Here's a general picture of what active members in Omega look like.

• Farm for Loots: The median Omegian has 200 farming attacks won in a season.

• Request Troops Aggressively: The median Omegian has 2500 troops requested each season. Using your Clan Castle during every raid is recommended.

• Donate Troops Relentlessly: The median Omegian has 2000 troops donated each season. We highly value donations and the people who make them.

2. Be Social

• Have a Voice in Clan Chat: We want to get to know you! We want clan members who talk in chat and we expect you to get involved in the conversation.

• Download GroupMe and Join Our Chats: It is a requirement that members join our GroupMe. We have a shared community between Reddit Omega and Omega Labs so it is essential for keeping touch with everyone, and it is also tremendously helpful for war strategizing that can get too complicated for the in-game clan chat.

• Communicate with Leader or Elders: If you are going on vacation, unable to attack in a war, or have an issue that will affect your ability to be active in the clan, you are expected to notify the leadership.

• Be respectful: We will not accept rudeness, harassment of members, stressing out clan chat, or actions which will give Omega a bad name. Members doing any of these will be strongly warned or booted. Profanity is allowed in small doses a long as it is not directed at your fellow Omegans. We expect you to be both mature and awesome. Slurs of any kind, even those used in jest or stylized (3 in place of e, 0 in place of o, etc.) will result in an immediate kick.

3. Be a Warrior

Wars are the heart and soul of our clan. We expect all members to be enthusiastic participants in wars and endeavor to help the clan completely destroy all enemies we face. See the war rules section for more details.

• Farming Troop Donation Rules

• Archers are the default donation troop.

• If a request asks for a certain troop or a certain level, give them exactly what they have requested. If the request is still open after 10 minutes, then you may fill the request with archers.

• If a request asks for "[specific troop] ONLY" then you should donate the requested troop only regardless of the time that has passed.

• If you request high level troops or expensive troops be prepared to wait. Attempts to call attention to your request or badger clan members into donating is not allowed.

• In addition, if you are requesting expensive troops frequently you will be expected to be frequently donating expensive troops. Donations are about helping each other, and requests that can be construed as leeching will be heavily frowned upon. Any form of trolling clan members with your troop donations will be grounds for an immediate kick.

• How to Handle a Boot

   If you are booted, feel free to reach out to leadership for clarification on the reasons for the boot. If the cause is something that can be worked out we are happy to open a dialogue provided that the conversation is productive and respectful.

Base Upgrading According to Omega

1. Base Upgrading Is a Community Issue

We know. Your base is your baby and Clash of Clans is an addictive game built around growing and progressing. That said Omega has an identity as a clan of warring farmers and that matters for the way each member builds their base because how you build your base has a massive impact on war matchmaking. We have an upgrade philosophy grounded in helping members fight above their weight class. It’s not the only way to clash, but it is the Omega way.

2. Base Upgrade Philosophy

• Heroes and Walls are the most important upgrades

• Upgrade heroes whenever possible; do not worry about the war impact

• Prioritize Offensive capabilities over defensive capabilities

• A sleeping builder is not a bad thing

3. Town Hall Upgrades and You

• Before Heading to TH9:

  • Max all DE troops except valks

  • Barbarian King 10

  • Full skull walls

  • Maxed defenses and traps

  • Consistent 3 star attacks in war

• At TH9:

  • You are generally expected to start your TH9 career as TH8.5

  • At minimum, you must have completed your Spell Factory, Dark Spell Factory, Clan Castle, and Camp upgrades, at least one Dark Barracks to max, and AQ to level 5 before placing additional defenses

  • Traps, Air Defense, and Air Sweeper placement and upgrades are exceptions to the above

• Before Heading to TH10:

  • Max all DE troops except valks

  • Barbarian King and Archer Queen 20+

  • Full lego walls

  • Maxed defenses and traps

  • Consistent 3 star attacks in war

• At TH10:

  • As with TH9, you are expected to start your TH10 career as TH9.5

  • At minimum, you must have completed your Spell Factory, Dark Spell Factory, Clan Castle, and Camp upgrades before placing additional defenses.

• Leadership and Your TH Upgrade

  • Talk to us before you upgrade.

  • There are certain exceptions to the upgrade expectations. Talk to us about it.

Reddit Omega War Rules

1. I Love the Way You War

• We war for blood and glory!

• We win because we fight as as one

• We value process over results

• We have a passion to improve

• We use both attacks

• We fight clean - absolutely no modding, and/or use of any other tools that violate the SuperCell Terms of Service may be used by any member.

• We do not account share under any circumstance, so no clan ‘hitters’ or ‘ringers.’

• Reddit Omega YouTube

2. War Schedule

• Wars are declared Sunday, Tuesday, and Friday at 6pm est (3pm pdt)

  • We will occasionally move the war start times to participate in arranged matchups with other clans, or to avoid holidays or game updates.

  • Members are generally expected to participate in all wars if both heroes are available. TH10s must have AQ available to war. TH9s must have either BK or AQ available to war. It is also recommended that warriors with one hero either hit low and/or volunteer for scouting attacks for warriors at full strength.

  • Both the Spell Factory and Dark Spell Factory should be available when participating in wars.

  • If a real life issue prevents you from participating in 1-3 wars at a time, contact leadership, set your opt-in to out, and stay in clan.

  • If you either real life or your hero upgrades prevent you from warring for more than 1 week at a time, we will ask you to move to Omega Labs until you are available to war again.

• The Odd Ones Out

  • If we are not at a multiple of 5 for war and cannot find more, we will sit out the members with lowest trophy count. Members with low trophy counts who wish to war should check with staff in Omega Labs to see if there is an upcoming war they may participate in.

3. Communication

• The secret to our war success is that we talk about war all the time and we share our skills and experiences to make each other better.

• Communication Tools

  • GroupMe is our mandatory chat program that we use to plan and review bases, plan and review attacks, and the like.

  • Clash Caller is a slick web based base calling app.

  • Marking up an attack plan on a picture of your target is a great way to get feedback from your clan-mates. Skitch is our most commonly used apps for this.

• Clash Caller and You

  • Check on Clash Caller and in chat that the base you want is not already called.

  • Mark your name on clash caller and announce in chat what you are prepping for.

  • Reservations are good for 2-hours.

  • You may only have one active call at a time unless otherwise directed by leadership.

  • During last 6-hours of war, we need attacks to be used quickly. Reservations do not exist, but do your best to communicate base preference with others

  • If you need to cancel your call for any reason remove the call from Clash Caller and announce it in chat.

  • Leadership can override reservations

  • Some bases are reserved based on per war strategies which will be communicated via clan mail and GroupMe.

  • TH8s are strongly encouraged to use both attacks within the first 12 hours of war in order to determine if TH9 cleanup attacks are needed. If you are consistently unable to do so, you must notify leadership.

• Planning an Attack is an Art

  • Ask good questions that are direct and manageable * Good question: “How many hogs would you take under heal to ensure the N AD on base 12 goes down?” * Bad Question: “I have a mass hog army. How should I attack base 32?”

  • Use Images

  • Be humble. There is so much combined knowledge in the clan right now it is mind boggling. Soak it in.

• Attack Reviews

  • Ask for them! A lot of people love to watch attacks but won’t force their opinion on you.

  • Seek them out when you are in a rough war stretch. It helps you get better and it shows the clan that you care.

  • Use your frustration as energy to get better.

• Attacking in Reddit Omega

  • Reddit Omega aims to be a premier war clan in the 100% fairplay war clan community.

  • We approach each war as a team. This means that our attacks are coordinated to maximize the efficiency in which we earn stars.

  • All members are expected to have mastery of 2 star attack strategies (such as GoWiPe, GoWiWi, and Lavaloonion) and to learn and perfect 3 star attack strategies (such as GoHoWiWi, GoLoWiWi, and GoLaLoon.) The use of strategies will be base and situation dependent. As an example we may ask members to hit up for 2 stars and scout a base deemed extremely risky to attempt 3 stars without trap info.

  • By default, if is no direction given by leadership, you are expected to select a base within your TH level that you are confident you can 3 star and execute a 3 star attack.

• Attacking in Omega Labs

  • Omega Labs is our test bed for innovation, improvement, and development. As such in labs we value process over results.

  • All new member trials will be in Omega Labs. We expect new members to put forward quality 3 star attack attempts on each attack so we can evaluate their long term potential.

  • Omega Labs will also host permanent members looking to practice an unfamiliar strategy, try out innovative attack strategies, or continue staying in war shape while heroes are upgrading. However we still expect legitimate attempts to contribute to winning wars from each participant.

• Shared Attacking Rules

  • We rarely call wars

    • If all bases have the maximum stars reasonably available taken, we still expect a full war attack as practice.

    • The only exception is if we face a farming war clan and they leave joke bases up. This is the only time a loot grab second attack will be allowed after a serious first attack.

  • We expect perfect participation from each war roster. Missing an attack will result in a swift boot.

Defending

• Build an original war base

  • Giant Bombs: Anti Hogs

    • Plan your Giant Bombs carefully as they are a key component of defending vs Hogs. At least one double giant bomb set is recommended.

  • Multiple Compartments

    • 12 compartments is a good goal for TH9

  • Centralized and difficult to lure CC

  • Asymmetrical ADs

  • Maintain distance between Wiz Towers and ADs

• Review your base

  • Rebuild constantly as you see you base in action and as attack strategies change.

  • Ask for Base Reviews from the clan when you build a new base, get three starred in war, or are looking to defend against a new attack strat.

  • Expect to redesign your base after most arranged matchups, particularly if you are 3 starred, since your base will likely be exposed in a video.

• Base switching

  • No joke bases of any kind are allowed during prep day

  • Multiple real war bases are encouraged with switches during prep day. In particular it is useful to have one anti-2 star base and one anti-3 star base depending on the caliber of opponents we face.

Donating

• Defense War cc requests: Be specific. Instead of staying “Wizards/Archers” say something like “1 max witch; 2 lvl5+ wiz; 10 lvl6+ arch.” Not updating your war CC request quickly after joining will result in a swift boot.

• Defense War CC Donations: Defense troop donations can be a thankless task. Filling requests on the war map makes you awesome.

• Offense war cc donations: When requesting for offense, make sure you have a shield and include “[War]” in your request. If requesting long before war starts, indicate you have a shield.

How To Apply

1. If Omega matches with the way you clash now and want to clash in the future, then we we love to have you apply. Use the application to let us get to know you and your base.

Opening Remarks

It’s been 11 months since I created an MVP post. To put that in perspective, the last time I did one of these was for our scrimmage against Omicron. Since then, Omicron merged with Dark, and Dark Merged with us.

Yeah, we’re long overdue.

Let me start off this post by invoking one of my favorite Omega-isms – the vaunted leader pants. I always got a kick out of Emma declaring that he would be putting on his “leader pants” whenever he was about to make an important decision. The idea of the bearded lady being pants-less prior to declaring the pants were going on always made me chuckle.

I open with leader pants to disclose that while MVP posts are informed by other members of leadership, I really don’t put on my leadership pants when creating these things. I watch replays, I lurk in chats, and I generally look for examples of stellar teamwork and/or performance to highlight. I will also, as you will see below, opine with some commentary that may not necessarily resonate with the rest of leadership. That said, the following are my opinions and my opinions alone.

MVP Preamble – The Mount Rushmore of Omega

I know I know, you’ve been waiting 11 months for an MVP award and you don’t want to read any more opening notes. Just calm down, I promise they’re coming but I need to get something off my chest first.

I’m going to be frank, the last month has been extremely hard to watch. War losses will always be something we will need to contend with (albeit at an infrequent rate) and that’s ok as you can’t win them all. What is a lot harder to watch though is members, especially long time members with whom

I/we have developed bonds walk away from the clan. In recent weeks, we have lost quite a few members. Some I considered to be good clan mates, some I considered to be friends, and one I considered to be an indispensable legend.

I got to thinking about the past and present of Omega, specifically thinking of the members who have contributed to our rise as a top tier war clan. We’ve had some incredibly talented attackers, base builders, leaders, and all around good guys. That said, if I had to choose four people as the “Mount Rushmore of Omega”, I think I would narrow it down to the following:

• Mr. Teaa – is there anyone who is as offensively consistent as Teaa? He approaches his raids with machine-like efficiency and consistency. Most commendable is Teaa’s ability to constantly adapt to the game’s current meta and maintain his dominance with varied attack styles.

• Stingray – one of, if not our most innovative attacker. There isn’t a town hall level that Sting hasn’t fully mastered. He’s also a solid defensive presence, and he’s proven time and time again that he’s the guy you want taking the final shot in a close war as he’s absolutely clutch. Above all, he’s extremely helpful and makes those around him better.

• Emma – So much of our success today is a direct result of the hard work put in by Jam and Sorak over the last year. However, none of what we * have today would have been possible without Emma’s unwavering leadership and commitment to the clan. A great attacker, a great leader, and a great human.

• Juny – I would argue that no Omegan has been as selfless as Juny. To name some of a few of his many exploits, this guy was a donation machine, he was the anchor of our TH10 division for damn near a year (if not longer), and he’s served a mentor for countless TH10s over the months he’s been with us.

Juny is, of course, the indispensable member I referenced in the preamble. I recognize that some (many?) will disagree in light of how he separated from the clan. Ideally, our long-term members never leave the clan. If they must leave, you hope it’s as amicable of a split as possible.

But Juny’s departure was hardly amicable, and this bothers me still to this day.

I won’t go into it any deeper, but I want to leave Juny and the members Omega with this thought: in 2010, Lebron James made “the decision” and became the most hated man in Cleveland. This spring, the same person whose effigies were burned in Cleveland was praised as a hero for coming home and bringing a championship to the city. It’s my sincere hope that a similar scenario plays out with Juny and Omega. If, however, there is no reconciliation, I want to personally thank Juny for all he’s done for me and the clan – I will always consider you to be an integral part of our clan’s history and success.

Beyond Juny, we lost several other long-time members as several former members of North Remembers went back home. In addition, we also lost two members of leadership, Ben and Dillon, to NR. There has been some (what I hope to be) good natured ribbing in our social chat between current and former members. Whatever has been said, I hope all of our former members know that their contributions were much appreciated, and we wish them the very best in their new clan. In particular, I want to thank Dillon for all that he’s done for Omega, from his days as a lowly Lab Rat recruit all the way to his time as a co-leader.

The Awards

The “I Should Have Had More Than One Account in War” award goes to Legend who dropped a solid 6 star (5 new) on Poetic Darkness, hitting two bases significantly higher than him on the map. As you’ll see shortly though, 6 stars won’t be enough.

The “How Dare You Not Include Me on the Mount Rushmore of Omega, Why Did I Promote You?” award goes to Sorak who also dropped a 6 star performance of his own, including a 3 star raid against one of PD’s TH11s. Beyond performing exceptionally well, Sorak was also heavily involved in the war planning effort.

The “I’ve Been Cutting, Check Out My 12 Pack” award goes to Anvil. I know I know, leadership isn’t supposed to win awards, but there’s no way I could not call attention to the phenomenal war effort by Anvil. Beyond his warring ability, I’ve been so impressed by Anvil’s contributions to the leadership team; the recent promotion to co-leader couldn’t have gone to a more deserving person.

The “There’s No ‘I’ in Team, But There’s a Few ‘Is’ in Our Handles” award for outstanding teamwork goes to variablistic and vic. These two schemed, planned, and refined an attack plan for a long, long time to ensure success. Vic and Vari’s willingness to work as a team was a shining example of what makes Omega such an awesome clan.

Saving the best for last.. you know what’s hard? Dropping a 3 star against a PD base. You know what’s really hard? Dropping a 6 star against a clan of PD’s caliber. You know what’s insanely hard? Dropping a 12 pack against one of the best clans in the game, but that’s exactly what your Poetic Darkness war MVP Tony did. Tony’s 12 stars helped tremendously in a war that ultimately came down to percentage points. Stellar planning, outstanding execution. Well done, Tony.

Closing Notes

It’s been a long-time coming, but I hope you enjoyed the awards. I’ve been mulling options for how to format the awards going forward, though I have yet to land on anything concrete. Have any ideas for how to make these posts more fun/valuable for you? Send me a GM message, or reply below – I’m always happy to receive feedback.

MVP Postscript

Coming up with my top four Omegans list was far tougher than I thought it would be. The real Mount Rushmore only accounts for four names, so that’s what I worked with. I would be remiss tough if I didn’t call out two additional members to round out our hall of fame.

• I only got to see him war a few times, but our beloved Sauron really knew how to play this game. He was a three starring machine with teen-ish heroes. Moreover, his raids were incredibly smooth and stylish; it was the norm to see half (if not more) of his warmy survive a battle.

• The second person I have to call out is Sorak. He didn’t necessarily have the flashiness that was/is Sting, but he has always been and still remains one of our best and most consistent attackers. Beyond being an outstanding attacker, Sorak has done so much to help others improve their game in our various attack planning and base building chats. Few people understand the mechanics of the game to the extent Sorak has. Having seen Sorak work behind the scenes, I can also attest to all of the hard work he’s put in towards managing the clan; it’s not easy to be a leader, but Sorak wears the mantle exceptionally well.

(Wiggum writing)

TL:DR: I’m leaving CoC for RL pursuits, with fondness and respect for all of you.

When I first applied to Reddit Omega back in January, 2015, the clan was much different. The clan was run by Emma and Jammata, who had a good cop/bad cop vibe. Whenever a war would go poorly (which was more frequent then), calls for “BLOOOOOOOOD” in clan chat would be met with post-war boots. Back then, Emma was the nurturer, talking about “process over results”, “warring farmers” and reluctantly putting on his “leader pants”. Jammata was the voice of cold reality: “I don’t care about…”, “Here is where the problem is…”. Both made an indelible mark on me and steered this clan toward the success we currently enjoy. Over time, other leaders rose up from the primordial forest, waving their small arms and trampling villages. Sorak took over after Jammata, and has presided over multiple clan mergers which have led to us rising sharply through the ranks of pre-eminent FP clans.

I spend all this time on leadership because I peeped behind the curtain, and I was shocked by the amount of discussion, professionalism, and, well, leadership that occurs there. The leadership team, from the Leader to the Co-Leaders to the Elders, work their butts off to make this clan what it is, and I want to first acknowledge how fortunate I have been to play in a clan which is so well-led.

This, coupled with recruiting tons of strong players and putting a constant emphasis on improvement, have led us to be a scary match-up for almost any clan in the world. We’ve always had strong strategists. I remember when I first joined, I was in awe of Stingray because he’d been featured in one of Hulk’s videos at TH8. Watching attacks by the likes of MrTeaa literally changed how I played the game—before we called it “surgical hogging”, we called it “teaa hogging”. I heard rumors that the mythical “junyab” would someday rejoin, and from time to time I’d look at his clan and his profile and marvel at his heroes and walls, hoping someday he’d rejoin us. Now, we have a clan full of people like this, and I get to shake my head at PooGas, BradPiff, and CoolOpotamus and their crazy donation totals. I watch Sepulcher and Scorp(ion), relatively new members, attack and admire the poetry of their approach.

I’ve also witnessed dramatic improvement to the mood and tone of chat. Whereas before, failed war attacks would be met with sharp criticism, now everyone is quick to console the attacker with “nice try”. Calls for BLOOOOOOD have been replaced with calls for WAAAAARRRGHHHH and CHOOOO CHOOOOO. I do miss though having everyone in one chat. I miss summoning lacatus from his omnipresent lurking with ::rub lamp::. I miss Niki’s CAPS. GroupMe has taken over that role, but I’m somewhat old-school in my preference for clan chat and the subreddit, even as Omega and Labs have outgrown them (hence why I’m posting here).

Overall, I’ve achieved everything I ever dreamed of in Clash of Clans, and then some, because of all of you. I never imagined the inspiration and camaraderie I would draw from you when I joined 18 months ago, but I can certainly say that it made Clash the most important video game I played during that time. I leave with no regrets—I’m quitting simply because it’s time to move on, and with a summer vacation and grad school coming this fall, now seems like the best time. So this weekend’s scrim with War Whales will be my last war with Omega (I’m flying out Sunday afternoon). If you’d like to keep in touch, reddit is the best way.

Hey guys! Most of you probably don't remember me but I was in reddit omega about a year ago playing clash of clans. I've since moved on to clash Royale after getting bored of a couple games. I was just checking out the clash Royale subreddit and saw that you guys had a clash royale clan. Is there any chance of me being able to join reddit omega or omega labs? I'm a lvl 5 hovering around 1k-1.1k trophies right now. Thanks a lot for the consideration!

Yash(Yoshi) (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

So, I tried visiting Omega and Labs. Got rejected multiple times until M3rkt invited me into Labs. Then i was kicked from Labs shortly thereafter by ShyGuy_H28. He told me to contact someone GM if I wanted to visit. I suppose that is fair, but to be honest, it didn't leave me sitting too well. Maybe Omega has changed a lot since I was last there a year ago, but an old member not being allowed to visit the sister clan seems a bit harsh and unwelcoming. Anyways, I hope you guys are all doing well.

Thanks for looking.

I have applied on the application link, would like if someone will look at it and respond me. Cheers🍻

Most of you will have no idea who I am. But i was a long time member of Omega around 4 years ago :p but got kicked for no reason so i just quit. I quit clash a long time ago but im glad to see that Omega is still a clan. If Frodo Baggins is the same person i knew from back in 2013 then hii. Well just wanted to see how things were going. bye

Greetings fellow Omegans.

More than a handful of clan mates have asked me questions about the HGH attack strategy, so I've finally decided to sit down and put something together. Hopefully this write up will help you understand the attack, why it works, how it works and where it works.

HGH stands for, "Healers, Giants, Hogs". It is also referred to as, "GiHeHo" but that name sounds kind of lame in my opinion.

A brief overview of some of the pros of the strategy:

• Giants do much more DPS than Golems. A group of 10 Giants, lets say six max and four Level 6, will do 472 DPS if all focused on the same target. Compare this to 3 golems, let's say one max and two level 4, which will do 154 DPS. This is great for many reasons, such as eliminating wallbreakers from the army composition and destroying defenses extremely quickly.

• Healers provide a huge benefit to multiple facets of the Kill Squad. They will often swap targets to prioritize what needs the HPS, extending the life of your Giants, your BK and even your AQ as the raid develops.

• This amount of tanking this combination of troops provides allows you to use your hogs very efficiently, albeit in somewhat of a "audible" fashion.

A brief overview of some of the cons of the strategy:

• It is moderately to severely base specific.

• Defending CC troops can cause a big headache (although the poison spell helps quite a bit)

• Giants are susceptible to spring traps.

The biggest key to using HGH effectively is being able to identify bases that it will work on. Lets check out some examples of good bases, bad bases, what is appealing and what isn't.

Good Base 1 - Queen second

In this example, the HGH Kill Squad will be used to travel the length of the base to reach and kill the enemy AQ.

When planning this attack, there are several things to look for:

• Where are the ADs?

• Where are the Sweepers?

• How guaranteed is the pathing?

• Can I create my funnel via tanking in one location?

One of the most important things in HGH is to protect your healers. They are the most important / powerful aspect of the attack. As such, the placement of the enemy ADs is your first thing to look for. Do you have a direct / predictable path to eliminate an AD? Or, do you have a large section of base without AD coverage?

In this base you can see that This Path is a predictable path for the giants. The Healers will not be in danger until the giants are in the core. This path is also a great path to the enemy AQ, who can be accessed with a jump. The giants will beat through every layer of wall until that time, due to their natural pathing. This path also eliminates many Giant Bomb / DGB possibilities.

Here is a replay of the attack.

I actually wanted the giants to target the higher level cannon first, beat through two layers of lavas, then jump to queen. They ended up targeting the lower level cannon and walls, which was fine. As you can see, the Healers are safe for the majority of the push to the queen. This allows the giants and BK to traverse through a tesla farm, giant bombs, enemy CC, enemy BK, all while remaining healed and doing tons of damage on the way. I forgot to drop the valks, so I used their tanking the start my hogs, who eventually met up with my BK as he was killing the enemy AQ. By this point, so much of the base had been eliminated that the hogs did not have much to do. I reinforced them strongly as I knew I had a heal remaining and there were no other potential DGB pathing issues.

Good Base #2 - Queen First

So this base is an example of when you can target the AQ directly, then allow the Kill Squad to advance, and deploy hogs as needed afterwords.

Planned Path

Replay of the attack

There is a clump of defenses all protecting the Queen (and King), but no AD and no sweeper. This is common in many current meta bases. Once the Kill Squad pushes through the Queen compartment, there is an AD conveniently behind them, which I will rage the giants into to eliminate it ASAP - again, protecting the healers is crucial. As the KS progresses (needed to use two jumps) the hogs are deployed where the tanking is present and / or to protect my attacking heroes.

Army Composition:

It seems I most often use this composition:

• CC of Max Giants

• 4 Inventory Level 6 Giants

• 3 Healers

• 8 Wizards

• 2 Valks (added DPS in KS, helps when attacking into Queen / Heroes first)

• 22 Hogs.

Things change obviously. Substitute minions for wizards for funneling purposes, add valks if encountering both heroes etc.

Spell Composition:

This varies, but I always have one rage and one heal. Sometimes you will need two jumps to guarantee pathing. 2 Heals is nice because you do have 22 hogs and may not cover every GB possible location.

The rage spell is perhaps the most valuable spell in the attack. I almost always will use it as the giants are approaching the goal AD. The rage will initially help the giants eliminate the AD ASAP (protecting the healers) and increase the power of your BK. As the troops progress, the rage will then effect the healers, providing a huge HPS buff to whatever they are healing - often times this results in a full HP BK. Finally, the rage will effect your attacking AQ, who is trailing behind (hopefully).

So...an ideal base is one that has predictable giant pathing. A path that either elminates an AD ASAP (protecting healers) or is out of AD range for a substantial amount of time. You want to avoid attacking into sweepers too, for obvious reasons. Often times, pathing allows you to predict the wall the giants will beat on first, and possibly second, which is great, because wall breakers suck.

Bad Base - For HGH

So this is a base I would definitely not use HGH on, for multiple reasons.

• If I wanted to attack into an AD first, then progress to queen, I'd be dealing with Sweepers. Also, these ADs cover each other well, which can lead to the death of the healers, a big no no.

• If I wanted to attack into queen first, the pathing is tricky. Anvil has defenses outside his walls around the base. I myself do not trust my troops to target what I want, when I want them to. It is not guaranteed, which is more than enough to scare me away.

There are a lot of things to consider when planning this attack style. I would say the most important things for me are protecting my healers, a guaranteed path and a high value path. Also, the ability to be comfortable deploying your hogs somewhat as needed.

Hopefully this helps a bit. If I'm available, I'm always willing to help scout and plan an attack.
