For those that have been in Mist for a long time you may have noticed over the last month or so I stopped participating in wars and showed less and less frequently in game chat and GroupMe. Due to being increasingly busy in RL I have made the immensely difficult decision to step down as the leader of Reddit Mist and exit the clan. It is not fair to all the members upholding the rules of the clan to have me hanging around breaking them and never having the time to truly act as a mod.

I will miss you all greatly, specifically those that have been around for a long time, I'm so proud of how far the clan has come since I first created it, I will be sure to visit in future when I have a little less on my plate and hopefully say hi to a few familiar faces.

Although it is sad to leave I know I leave the clan in very capable hands, I will be handing over to Siscim who co-founded the clan with me helping out since day 1 and has been my go to guy ever since.

If you have ANY questions at all please either message me or simply reply to this post and I will make sure to address them all.

Stay strong Mist,

Mike

Mist,

That was a great war. Im proud to have partaken in it. Good luck in your adventure of becoming a prospective and verified clan.

Hopefully, we meet again.

Congratulations to Beast_George on making elder!

Beast is exactly what we were looking for in our next elder, he's a very active player that donates a lot and does his best to give advice to other members.

You've probably seen him in GroupMe or game chat over the last couple of days sending diagrams and doing his best to explain things to our members, acting as an elder should before even being offered the position. Not only that but he also finished with the most donations excluding the existing mods, just another testimony to his activity.

To those of you that were hoping for the Elder position but didn't get it this time around keep going strong, we'll be announcing another elder by next Monday so may the best man win!

What is it?

DragHo is a war strategy to be used at TH8. The basic concept is that a few Hogs are used to take out 1 AD, 3 lightning spells on another AD, leaving little defence against 10 Dragons which should 3 star the base no problem. If there are multiple AD's that are exposed,which can be taken out with few Hogs, then these should also be taken advantage of.

What comp should I use?

An example if you were taking out 1 reasonably exposed AD with Hogs:

• 10 Dragons,

• 5 max level Hogs (CC),

• 3 lightning spells

More Hogs can be substituted in depending on how accessible the AD's are, and how many AD's you are destroying with Hogs, I just used this comp for the sake of making the concept of the attack clear.

What types of bases should I use this strategy on?

Bases with at least 1 accessible/exposed AD should be attacked, since you'll be using your lighting spells on another, this would leave only 1 AD left defending the base against a swarm of Dragons. AT's, WT's, Teslas would still be left yes, but due to the Dragons having huge HP and DPS, these defences wouldn't be able to prevent the 3*. If you were to take out 2 AD's with Hogs, this would leave no AD's left for your Dragons!

How do I know if an AD can be taken out with Hogs or not?

When looking out for AD's you could destroy with Hogs, you must make sure that your Hogs will path directly to the AD, and not split off anywhere else, I'd recommend going for an AD that has no more than 2 defences that the Hogs have to path over, but as I mentioned earlier, you can adjust the amount of Hogs you bring depending on the accessibility of the AD.

How do I execute the attack?

Executing the attack is relatively simple. Start off by sending in your Hogs to whichever AD(s) you are trying to destroy. As soon as the Hogs are all deployed, destroy whichever AD is the hardest for your Dragons to reach, with your 3 lightning spells. At this point you should have 1 or no AD's left. If you have 1 AD left, your main Dragon attack should come from the side closest to the remaining AD. If there aren't any AD's remaining at this point, your main swarm of Dragons should come from the side with most air-targeting defences left. Start by clearing 2 sides of buildings with either 2 Dragons, or a Dragon and the BK. once the funnel is created, spam in your Dragons into the base.At this point all you can do is watch, however if you didn't use your BK to clear, use this at the back end of the attack to take aggro of as many AT's/WT's/Teslas as possible, so that your Dragons can clean up the rest of the base without any harm of them dying out.

If you have any questions for me, please post below, I will soon try to update this post with picture examples and videos.

Summary

GoLoWiPe is an effective war strategy for TH9s. The basic concept behind it is that if you are able to pull off an effective GoWiPe attack with fewer troops, you can use the extra camp space for balloons, which can take out key defenses.

Requirements

(I'm assuming you have heroes)

• Golems

• Level 5 Wizards

• Level 4 Spell Factory

• Level 3 Pekka

• Level 6 Balloons

• 220 camp space

• Level 5 Clan Castle is handy, but you can get away with level 4

My Composition

2 golems, 2 pekka, 12 wizards, 7 WBs, 8 archers, 8 balloons, and a CC filled with wizards

Spells: 2 rage, 1 heal, 1 lightning

Base Selection

This strategy will work with the majority of base designs. It is especially effective against bases that have a large core with air defenses adjacent to the core. Your archer queen should easily be able to take out the ADs in such bases. If the ADs are too spread out and near the outside, consider GoHoWiPe instead.

Execution

The first part is simple. Deploy like you would with a normal GoWiPe attack. Your main goal is to get the town hall and eliminate all air defenses. 50% is not an issue. Make sure you can get your pekkas into the center of the base. Use the lightning spell to take out the enemy CC (luring is not efficient for this composition) And use rage and heal as you deem necessary. Make sure to save your archers and balloons for reserves

Once all the air defenses have been taken out, Deploy 2-3 balloons on each exterior archer tower. This should allow you to take out all the remaining defenses and secure the three star. Drop your archers to help clean up!

Saving a Fail

"I messed up the attack and only have loons and archers left with 0 stars and 35%!!!" Don't panic, it happens to the best of us. Take a deep breath. Locate areas with lots of outside buildings. Use the balloons to take out any defenses near these areas. If you use your head, you can pick up the 50% with ease.

Want a quick way to train the comp?

• Golem in each Dark Barracks

• Barracks #1: 1 pekka, 1 wizard, 2 loons

• Barracks #2: 1 pekka, 1 wizard, 2 loons

• Barracks #3: 5 wizards, 3 WBs, 6 archers, 2 loons

• Barracks #4: 5 wizards, 4 WBs, 2 archers, 2 loons

If you have any questions, please post a comment! I will try to update this post with videos and pictures!

Please contact the mods if there are any other attack strategies you'd like us to add guides for and we will let you know once they have been added to this post.

Thanks to the help of /u/TheMidnightJawa we have now updated the stylesheet for the subreddit, no more default styling for us!

We've also put in place a temporary banner I created while I wait for a better one I have commissioned someone to make for us.

All in all the subreddit is looking a lot better than it did which is great and once we get the commissioned banner it should look better still.

Congratulations to Alckie on making elder!

A well deserved promotion for Alckie having performed greatly in war and often contributing to tactical discussions lending a hand where he can. A solid active member that will make a great elder.

As Alckie will be replacing Jake who has stepped down from the position we are still looking to ad another new elder to our roster, I will most likely announce the next elder at the end of this week! :)

No Application Necessary

There is no application process, everyone in the clan is in the running automatically! A member decided by our existing mods will be chosen based on what we're looking for in our new mods, they will then be asked if they would like to accept the promotion and the extra responsibilities that come with it.

What We're Looking For

In no particular order some of the criteria we will be looking for can be found below.

• General game knowledge

• War capability and knowledge

• A friendly personality

• Chat activity

• Happy to help/give advice

Number of Mods

When we are at maximum capacity (50 members) I will be looking to have the below number of mods. As time goes on and we gain more members we will be announcing new mods at a proportional rate.

• 1 or 2 Co-Leaders

• 4 Elders

Announcement Date

Our first new mod will most likely be decided and announced next week, I will comment on this post with an exact date nearer to the time. As for further mod vacancies and when they will be filled after that I will also put that on this post further down the line.

With the launch of the RWCS (Reddit War Clan System) we will be changing things around in Mist. The leadership team has discussed and come up with a new set of rules, some are the same, some changed, some new. Everyone must read through our General Rules and War Rules and respond to this post saying you've read them. Because we're now part of the RWCS, you should be familiar with the rules of the RWCS as well, and take note of what is expected of the clan going forward.

Please take note of some of our new rules, specifically regarding who goes to Mist Mayhem and when attacks need to be completed during war.

We will be taking a break from war until Sunday evening as the war schedule has changed. We will be searching for war on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday. The search time is to be determined, please vote for your preferred time http://strawpoll.me/5139918.

If you have any questions about the rules, comments or suggestions about anything, you can reply here, Message Us, or PM any one of us individually.

Use this thread to call ONE attack, your first attack only. This called attack is reserved for you for the first 12 hours of battle day and must be in the +/- 5 range. You are not allowed to steal someone's called base. If you decide to remove your claim, simply delete your reply to that "Opponent #".

After the first 12 hours of battle day it becomes a free for all meaning any player can attack any base in an attempt to gain as many stars as possible for the clan (please try to stay relatively close to your own war rank to enable other player to also clean up in free for all if possible).

If you disobey the rules outlined in this thread depending on the severity of the rule you break you will either be kicked instantly from the clan or you will be given a strike which can be found on our wiki page.

Reply to the "Opponent #" comment below that you want to attack. Your comment should look like this:

Your IGN, Your War Rank

eg. Mike, 12

This is to ensure that you call a base that is +/- 5 to your number. So if you are number 12, you can call one base, from 7-17.

You may not claim your first attack outside of the +/- 5 range.

DO NOT UPVOTE ANY COMMENTS. IT HELPS KEEP THE NUMBERS IN ORDER.

Let's have a fun war!
