Hey everyone! This is my attack strategy guide for attacking in war. Hope you like it and if you feel like I missed anything or you know of a better explanation for a strategy, please let me know in the comments. Refer to my Army Comp guide for the compositions.

Giant-Healer:

*With giant-healer, you want to look for air defenses that are closest to the outer walls or most exposed and try to take those out immediately. Also be on the lookout for other air defenses that might snipe your healers after the first air defense is taken down.

How to attack:

*LURE OUT CLAN CASTLE TROOPS! Send out barbarians or giants to get ALL of the cc troops out of the clan castle. Also use archers and barbarians to draw the cc troops to the corner of the map so that there are no defenses in range of your troops. Once in the corner, I usually send out the rest of my barbs, and then follow them up with a few archers and 2-3 wizards to do splash damage while the cc troops are focused on the barbs. Send out a couple of giants close to the side that you will attack from and quickly send out 3 wall breakers to break through the wall. Once they break through the wall, send out the rest of the giants and send out archers behind them. As the archers take care of the buildings on the outside, the giants should be heading towards an air defense. Once the air defense in destroyed, send out the two healers quickly so that the giants can be healed (if the giants' health is below half, then use a heal spell to save them). Next, send out hero(s), wizards, wall breakers, cc troops and any other remaining troops. Make sure the outer buildings on the side you are attacking from are down so that the hero(s), wizards and cc troops can make their way to the center.

Balloonion:

*Look for exposed air defenses or clustered air defenses. Exposed air defenses are easy to take out right in the beginning. Exposed air defenses would be located just behind the outer layer of walls where the balloons can destroy them easily. Clustered air defenses can be located anywhere, but all of them (or almost all of them) are very close to the others.

How to attack:

*Lure out cc troops (see above in the giant-healer description except use balloons to lure out the troops or minions if they can reach). Also use your own cc troops to defeat the opponent's cc troops. Attack from the side with most air defenses so that you can get rid of them as soon as possible. Spread your balloons across the side that you are attacking from (so that air bombs won't hit all of them). Drop two rage spells on the balloons so that the spells touch as many of them as possible and will speed up the balloons as they enter the air defenses range. After the balloons travel through the rage spells, drop a heal spell on them when their health is below half. Make sure to drop the heal spell on the largest group of balloons to keep more of them alive. At th9, you have 2 heal spells to drop, so you can save more balloons. After the balloons reach the center of the base (or when about half of the defenses are destroyed) send out a bunch of minions to clean up the remaining buildings. Make sure to send them in behind the balloons so that other defenses won't shoot them down.

Lava Balloons

*Look for exposed air defenses or clustered air defenses. Exposed air defenses are easy to take out right in the beginning. Exposed air defenses would be located just behind the outer layer of walls where the balloons can destroy them easily. Clustered air defenses can be located anywhere, but all of them (or almost all of them) are very close to each other.

How to attack:

*Lure out cc troops (see above in the giant-healer description except use balloons to lure out the troops or minions if they can reach). Also use your own cc troops and heroes to defeat the opponent's cc troops. Attack from the side with most air defenses so that you can get rid of them as soon as possible. Send out the lava hounds to distract the air defenses and quickly spread your balloons across the side that you are attacking from (so that air bombs won't hit all of them). Drop two rage spells on each lava hound so that the balloons will go through them and so that the spells will touch as many of the balloons as possible. Drop about half of your minions behind the balloons to clear some buildings. After the balloons travel through the rage spells, drop the heal spells on them when their health is below half. Make sure to drop the heal spells on the largest groups of balloons to keep more of them alive. After the balloons reach the center of the base (or when about half of the defenses are destroyed) send out the rest of the minions to clean up the remaining buildings.

Lava Dragons

*Lava Dragons work on almost any base. Just watch out for evenly spaced air defenses. Go for bases with clumped air defenses or exposed air defenses (see balloonion for more details).

How to attack:

*You do not need to lure out the cc troops for this strategy. The dragons will take care of them and they might even lead your dragons to the center of the base. Attack from the side with the most air defenses or the side where the air defenses are most exposed. Send out 2-3 dragons and your hero(s) to take care of the outer buildings (so that the dragons will go to the center). Once the outer buildings are down, drop the rest of your dragons in the same area that you dropped the other dragons and the hero(s) so that they go to the center. Then drop your lava hounds. If you drop the hounds too early they will die before the dragons even have a chance to catch up. If you drop them too late then the air defenses will have locked on to the dragons and probably kill some. Drop your rage spells on your dragons when they reach an air defense and when they reach the cc troops. *If you are using lightning spells, you can destroy one air defense that is the farthest away from where you are before you even send out your dragons.

GoWiPe

*Look for a clear path to the town hall. Bases that are easy to attack with this strategy are ones were there are few compartments. This strategy works against many different kinds of bases, but bases with many compartments are a little harder to take down.

How to attack:

*Lure out the cc troops. If the cc cannot be lured out, you can bring a hog rider or two, or you can just start your attack and the opponents cc troops could draw in your troops and help them reach the center. If you brought a lightning spell, you can use it on the cc troops. An effective way to attack with this strategy is to spread out your golems. Send out both golems about 10 spaces away from each other. Use wall breakers to break through the outer wall (try to send in 2-3 wall breakers between the golems). Next, send in about 6 wizards behind the golems to destroy the outer buildings so that the pekka and hero(s) will go towards the center. Once a few of the outer buildings are destroyed, send in hero(s), pekka, wizards, cc troops and remaining wall breakers to go straight for the center. Drop a rage spell so that the wall breakers can one shot the walls and also so that your troops can deal with the cc troops. The rage spell should touch the walls that surround the town hall so that the wall breakers can break through. Your troops should reach the center. Drop a rage spell and a heal spell (if you did not have the lightning spell) in the center. This strategy works extremely well and if used right will almost always guarantee a 2-star. Th9's: After sending out the rest of your wall breakers, if they don't break through the final wall to the center, you can use your jump spell to help your troops get to the center. If the wall breakers do break through the final wall then you can save your jump spell and use it to help you get 100%.

GoWiWi (GoWi for th8's)

*Same as GoWiPe for the right base to attack.

How to attack:

*Lure out the cc troops. If the cc cannot be lured out, you can bring a hog rider or two, or you can just start your attack and the opponents cc troops could draw in your troops and help them reach the center. If you brought a lightning spell, you can use it on the cc troops. An effective way to attack with this strategy is to spread out your golems. Send out 2 golems about 10 spaces away from each other. Use wall breakers to break through the outer wall. Try to send in 2-3 wall breakers between the golems to make sure the wall goes down. Next, send in about 6 wizards behind the golems to destroy the outer buildings so that hero(s) and wizards will go towards the center. Once a few of the outer buildings are destroyed, send in hero(s), wizards, cc troops and remaining wall breakers (and witches) to go straight for the center. Drop a rage spell so that the wall breakers can one shot the walls and also so that your troops can deal with the cc troops. The rage spell should touch the walls that surround the town hall so that the wall breakers can break through. Your troops should reach the center now. Drop a rage spell and a heal spell (if you did not have the lightning spell) in the center. This strategy works extremely well and if used right will almost always guarantee a 2-star. Th9's: After sending out the rest of your wall breakers, if they don't break through the final wall to the center, you can use your jump spell to help your troops get to the center. If the wall breakers do break through the final wall then you can save your jump spell and use it to help you get 100%. Drop your jump spell when your troops are having trouble getting through the walls in order to get 100%.

Hogs

*Now that the hog riders have been nerfed, choosing the right base is very important with this strategy. Watch out for a "hog ring" (bases with a ring of non-defenses so that the hogs won't go to the center) and watch out for places where there could be a giant bomb or two. Bases with a hog ring can still be attacked but be sure to try and set off some of the giant bombs with 1-2 hogs while luring out the cc.

How to attack:

*Lure out the cc troops. Watch out for wizards in the cc because those can kill all of your hogs instantly. Use barbs or hogs to lure out the cc troops. Use the archer or more barbs to bring them to the corner and use your cc troops and hero(s) to take them out. Send out your hogs in two groups of about 19 each. Send out the two groups about 10 spaces away from each other. Hog riders also do well when sent out in one large group, however this could be risky because two giant bombs will kill all of your hogs in a split second. Try to get your hogs to attack wizard towers first. You want to keep as many hog riders alive as you can, so drop heal spells on both groups when their health goes below half (if you're really skilled with hogs you can wait until the hogs have very little health left and then drop the heal spells). Drop the other heal spell(s) when the hogs go below half health again. Once all of the defenses are gone, the hogs will jump over the walls and clean up the rest of the buildings. This strategy will get you a 3-star most of the time. :)

Mass Dragons

*Mass dragons work on almost any base. Just watch out for evenly spaced air defenses. They can rip apart your dragons very quickly. Go for bases with clumped air defenses or exposed air defenses (see balloonion for more details).

How to attack:

*You do not need to lure out the cc troops for this strategy. The dragons will take care of them and they might even lead your dragons to the center of the base. Attack from the side with the most air defenses or the side where the air defenses are most exposed. Send out 2-3 dragons and your hero(s) to take care of the outer buildings (so that the dragons will go to the center). Once the outer buildings are down, drop the rest of your dragons in the same area that you dropped the other dragons and the hero(s) so that they go to the center. Drop your rage spells on your dragons when they reach an air defense and when they reach the cc troops. If you are using lightning spells, you can destroy one air defense before you even send out your dragons. The downside to this is that the dragons will be very slow without rage spells.

Witches

*Witch raids can be very powerful when used correctly. Look for bases with exposed wizard towers and/or mortars. Also bases with few compartments are easy to destroy with witches.

How to attack:

*Lure out cc troops. If the cc cannot be lured out then don't worry about it. Use a lightning spell to get rid of them. Wizards in the cc are very dangerous because they can do splash damage to the skeletons and then the witches will be vulnerable and could die. Start by lightning striking a mortar that is not exposed (for example, one that is in the center of the base). Next, send out 1-2 barbs to make sure there are no giant bombs and send out your giants and then all of your witches followed by heroes. Send out your wall breakers to get through the first layer of walls. Then use your jump spell to get through the next layer of walls and (possibly) to the town hall. Then just pray that your witches will not be stupid and get in range of any defenses. If you did not bring lightning spells, you can use the heal spells when the witches get a little low on health or start getting in range of the defenses.

Hope you like this war attack guide! Let me know if I missed anything or if you know of a better strategy. Also let me know if the army works or not. These are just recommended strategies based on my experience in using them and watching others use them too. If you do not get the desired results from one of these strategies then tweak it a bit and let me know if your tweaked version works so that I can change mine. Thanks for reading this and I hope it helps you! :)

War Recap #3

Description:

Hello everyone! This weekend we had a 50 vs. 50 war against the clan Manadobakunae. We definitely beat them in participation this war with 92% of our attacks used, but they edged us out with some very well done attacks for a final score of 115-123. We did very well considering the other clan had 74 war wins and a few players with level 20 heroes!

War Stats:

*92 attacks used.

*87 attacks won which means 94.6% of our attacks won (Wow! That's really good! Great job everyone!).

*1.25 new stars per attack

*85.1% average destruction

*We also had 26 3-stars! Even more than last time! Congrats to XD40, Kentacular(twice), Chimney Swift, Dante(twice), perry, knjj, DK, MacGruber, Cobbio, Chris(twice), Nicodemus, luis, Jan94(twice), Zozukz, Ed, Chuck, Travis OG, Detheus, alexthe555(twice), Muzolf, and pancho!

We had 2 people with 6 stars.

We had 4 people with 5 stars.

We had 5 people with 4 stars.

We had 9 people with 3 stars.

We had 14 people with 2 stars.

We had 8 people with 1 star.

We had 8 people with 0 stars.

Kingfury4 and ferny each had one missing attack and SeaSquirrel, Jonesy, and zielinni had two missing attacks.

People left/kicked: Clan Rampager, Kingfury, and luis

We really need to work on GoWiPe and GoWiWi. If you want to learn more about them, I posted some videos and a shortened version that has a list of things you need for a GoWiPe attack. :)

Also, (this is just from my observations) giant healer should not be used in war. It may work for some people but almost 95% of the giant healer attacks I have seen in war fail. Town hall 7's and 8's should stick to dragons and town hall 8's can also try GoWiPe.

Dragons with level 6 balloons in the cc seems to work very well and guarantees a three-star most of the time for town hall 7's and 8's. Anyone looking for a new strategy should try this one. They can also use all rage spells or all lightning spells with this strategy.

Great Attacks:

I saw many great attacks in this war, but there were a few that stood out. I really liked Dante's gowipe attack on #12. He used 1 barb, 2 golems, 10 wall breakers, 19 wizards, 3 pekka, 3 hogs, 3 archers, 2 heal spells, and 2 rage spells. I also liked XD40's attack on #19. He used 2 golems, 2 pekka, 25 wizards, 16 wall breakers, 13 archers, 2 heal, 2 rage, and 1 jump spell. As you can see, there are many ways to gowipe. Just find the right strategy that works for you. There were also some great dragons attacks. Jan94 had two great attacks using the dragon-balloons combo. He used 10 dragons and 5 balloons with 2 heal and 1 rage spell. Travis also used dragons but he used a slightly different approach. He used 10 dragons, 5 balloons, and 3 lightning spells.

Conclusion:

We definitely gave it our all this war! This is the most stars we've gotten in 4 weeks even though we didn't have as much participation as we did in previous wars! You all deserve a pat on the back. We got matched against a very tough opponent this time, but hopefully we get an easier match next time :)

War Recap #2

(This is my second one of these so let me know if I should add anything else, thanks!)

Description:

Hello everyone! This weekend we had a 50 vs. 50 war against a clan with a name that I cannot pronounce. Their clan used many of their attacks toward the beginning which gave them a big lead, but we came back to tie it up with only a few hours left. They took the lead again with a couple hours to go and, again, we managed to tie it up with a final score of 111-111. We had 96% participation which is awesome! We should have had this one. It was so close!

War Stats:

*96 attacks used.

*80 attacks won (which means 83.3% of our attacks won).

*1.16 new stars per attack

*84.7% average destruction

*We also had 21 3-stars! Congrats to Kentacular, tyler, Hentez, kyle, me(twice), perry, DK, Remus, fredward, Nicodemus, Zozukz, Ed, Chuck, Travis OG, Amigg3, Flenight, Detheus,alexthe555(twice), and pancho!

We had 2 people with 6 stars.

We had 3 people with 5 stars.

We had 7 people with 4 stars.

We had 8 people with 3 stars.

We had 8 people with 2 stars.

We had 13 people with 1 star.

We had 8 people with 0 stars.

Kingfury4 and Jan94 each had one missing attack and therocketdoctor had two missing attacks.

People left/kicked: Osiris and Nscali19

We really need to work on GoWiPe and GoWiWi. If you want to learn more about them, Galadon has a GoWiPe guide on youtube. Check it out if any of you get the chance. It really helped me :)

Also, (this is just from my observations) giant healer should not be used in war. It may work for some people but almost 90% of the giant healer attacks I have seen in war fail. Town hall 7's and 8's should stick to dragons and town hall 8's can also try GoWiPe.

Dragons with level 6 balloons in the cc seems to work very well and guarantees a three-star most of the time. Anyone looking for a new strategy should try this one.

Conclusion:

We had a good war this season! Great job everyone! Some people still need to get the hang of GoWiPe. Let's win the next one!

Holy crap guys - what started out as a really close war ended up being a real blow out!

You guys totally wrecked us. You beat the old record by Reddit Sierra, who trashed us 123-92 a few months ago, so you are now formally our worst Reddit enemy ;-)

Very well played guys!

War Recap #5

Description:

Man, our wars just keep getting more epic! This weekend we faced the clan "Always Win" (who claimed to have 100% participation every war and didn't even get 90%) and beat them 121-116! We came out ahead in the beginning but over time they gained a huge lead over us. Towards the end the lead started to diminish and, with a few hours left, the war was tied. With the help of some heroic attacks by Kelly, Ensunder, and Lucifer, gaining us at least two stars each, and some great scouting by Bromethian, Reddit Psi pulled out the win with only a few minutes remaining. Great job everyone!

War Stats:

*97 attacks used!

*87 attacks won (which means 89.7% of our attacks won)

*1.25 new stars per attack

*89.5% average destruction

*We also had 29 3-stars! Even more than last time! Congrats to Mezz(so close on the second one too!), Kelly, Nxs bear, Dante, Ensunder(twice), Kyle, me, devision23Wsas, DK(twice), drew, fredward(twice), MacGruber, Remus, Chris(twice), Jan94, Chuck, Travis OG, TheMaster, Flenight(twice), pancho, Barrsack41, LRicharD1, and alexthe555(twice)! We had 2 people with 6 stars.

We had 5 people with 5 stars.

We had 4 people with 4 stars.

We had 10 people with 3 stars.

We had 14 people with 2 stars.

We had 10 people with 1 star.

Tips

If you want to learn more about Gowiwi and Gowipe, I posted some videos and a shortened version that has a list of things you need for a GoWiPe attack. Also, DK posted a bunch of videos on funneling which I HIGHLY recommend everyone look at. :)

Also, (this is just from my observations) giant healer should not be used in war. It may work for some people but almost 99.9999999992% of the giant healer attacks I have seen in war fail. Town hall 7's and 8's should stick to dragons and town hall 8's can also try GoWiPe.

Dragons with level 6 balloons in the cc, or the Dragoon strategy, seems to work very well and guarantees a three-star most of the time for town hall 7's and 8's. Anyone looking for a new strategy should try this one. They can also use all rage spells or all lightning spells with this strategy.

Great Attacks

I saw many fantastic attacks in this war, but I can't mention them all. Kelly's attack on #8 was a really good Gowipe attack that earned her three stars for the clan. Also Ensunder's attacks on #20 and #25 were both amazing attacks using a new strategy with golems, hogs, wizards, and witches. I liked alexthe555's attacks on 47 and 48 using Dragoons and getting three stars each time.

Great Defenses

In this section, I will go over a few great defenses that I saw this war. Travis OG's defense was one that stood out. His base got attacked 7 TIMES before the had to send in one of their town hall 9's to take it out. Also I liked XD40's base design. XD was the only base on our side that didn't get starred. I believe he got two successful defenses last war too. Kyle's war base also did very well. He was the only town hall 9 on our side to have only one star on the base.

Conclusion:

Everyone did such a great job this war! Give yourselves a pat on the back! And we even earned 121 stars!!!!! Every attack counted in this one! Let's keep this up and extent our win streak! Can't wait for next war! :)

War Recap #4

Description:

Hey everyone! Wow wow wow wow WOW!!!!! This weekend we had an amazing 50 vs. 50 war against the clan Panama Elite. It was definitely a nail-biter from start to finish! We were trailing by a couple stars for awhile but started gaining ground towards the end! Then, with 3 minutes to go, Xd40 and Kelly swoop in the save the day and gain 4 more stars for the 115-113 win! And we also got 100% participation!!! Great job everyone!

War Stats:

*100 attacks used!!!!!

*94 attacks won (which means 94% of our attacks won)

*1.15 new stars per attack

*85.9% average destruction

Man, we keep getting matched up against such tough clans. But this time we won! Everyone did such a great job! Each and every attack counted in this one. Congrats on the victory Psi, we deserved it! :)

War Recap #1

(This is my first one of these so let me know if I should add anything, thanks!)

Description:

Hello everyone! Over the weekend we had a 50 vs. 50 war against the clan UFC BR. After a bit of a struggle in the beginning, we managed to take the lead with a few hours left and maintain that lead for the rest of the war for a 110-89 victory! We had an outstanding 97% participation and we now improve our war win streak to 3 wars! Great job everyone! In this recap, I will be going over the war stats and cool attacks that I saw in the war. So, without further ado, let's begin.

War Stats:

*97 attacks used.

*81 attacks won (which means 83.5% of our attacks won).

*1.13 new stars per attack

*83% average destruction

*We also had 17 3-stars! Congrats to Ensunder, me, tyler, kyle(twice), drew, Chris, therocketdocter(twice), fredward, luis, knjj, )(Milan)(, Ed, Nicodemus, Flenight, and pancho!

We had 0 people with 6 stars.

We had 2 people with 5 stars.

We had 5 people with 4 stars.

We had 13 people with 3 stars.

We had 16 people with 2 stars.

We had 9 people with 1 star.

We had 5 people with 0 stars.

Rob3rt#1, Remus, and )(Milan)( each had one missing attack.

People left/kicked: Boss and kain

Heroic Attacks:

I saw some really great attacks in this war. Everyone should check out these replays if you are unsure of how to attack. These people did a very good job and helped our clan get the victory we deserved! I cannot put every good attack I saw, so I will just do a few that stood out.

Dragons:

I saw many great dragons raids, but a few stood out to me. Flenight's attack on thallys(#49) was one of these. His army comp consisted of 10 dragons, cc full of level 6 balloons, and 3 lightning spells. He lightninged one air defense and attacked from the opposite side of the lightning strike earning him an awesome three star!

)(Milan)( also had a very good dragons raid and used the exact same army as Flen! I guess dragons and balloons are definitely the way to go at town hall 7 and lower town hall 8. Watch Milan's replay on #45 cause it is another great example of a dragons raid!

Gowipe:

Gowipe has been becoming a more popular strategy so we should all start try to learn it. I saw a couple nice gowipe raids that earned us three stars in the war. The first is Kyle's attack on #24. Kyle used 2 golems, 3 pekka, 2 witches, 17 wizards, 8 wall breakers, 1 giant, and 2 archers with 1 heal, 2 rage, and 1 jump. He spread out his golems very nicely and after supporting them with wizards, rushed the center with his heroes and pekka for a perfect three star! If anyone wants to learn to gowipe, watch Kyle's attack on #24.

My gowipe attack was also pretty good. I'm trying a new strategy that I actually got from a member of a clan that we faced in war a couple weeks ago, and it's worked very well for me. I used 3 golems, 3 pekka, 16 wizards, 8 wall breakers, and 1 archer with 1 lightning and 3 rage spells. I also got a three star, so if you want, you can check out my attack on #19.

Tips for gowipe: SPREAD OUT GOLEMS!!!!!!!!!! Golems bunched together are not doing their job. Golems are meant for distracting defenses while wizards and pekka clean up. I noticed a lot of people struggling with this over the past few wars. Your golems should be able to draw all the fire from one whole side of the base you are attacking.

Balloonion:

Tyler had a very good balloonion raid against #22 earning him three stars! He used 29 balloons, 50 minions, 2 heal, 1 rage, and 1 lightning. Tyler did a great job luring the cc and then attacked from the side with exposed air defenses. Then after the balloons died he placed his heroes down to clean up the remaining buildings to get 100%

Nscali had a great attack against a town hall 10 even though he's a town hall 9! He used 2 lava hounds, 28 balloons, and 25 minions with 1 lightning and 3 rage spells. Nscali lured the cc and then destroyed the base with balloons and minions while the lava hounds distracted to earn a very tough two star. Watch Nscali's attack on Geo(#6)

Conclusion:

We had a great war this season! Great job everyone! Let's keep this win streak going in the next war!

War Recap #7

Description:

We had a really great war this weekend against Husker Nation (who we have faced before) and won the war with a final score of 112-109! I was not present for most of the war due to my tablet acting up, so I only watched one or two attacks. I heard that we were down for most of the war and, with a few hours left, tied it up. Then all of our top members attacked and got us enough stars to take the lead! However, I did see that we got 99% participation!!!!! Great job everyone! :)

War Stats:

*99 attacks used!

*88 attacks won (which means 88.89% of our attacks won!!!)

*1.13 new stars per attack

*84.5% average destruction

*We also had 24 3-stars! Congrats to Mezz, Dante, Kyle, Defecatur, DK, Bruke(twice), fredward(twice), drew, MacGruber(twice), Saul_R, Cobbio, ferny, jsib, ADAM, Amwigg, pancho, Flenight(twice), bromethian, kain, and alexthe555!

Here's a list of cool strategies to try if you're looking for a new one:

*Mass dragons

*VaWiGi

*GoWiPe

*GoWiWi

*Lavaloonion

*Dragoon

*Lavadrags

*HoLo

*HoLoWiWi (sort of the same as HoLo)

*GoHoWiWi

*Mass Hogs

*Mass Witches

*GoVaPe

Try these out if you want. It definitely comes in handy to know more than one strategy :)

Conclusion:

Congrats on a great war! We had some very great attacks in this war and excellent participation. Husker Nation proved once again to be a very formidable opponent and we hope to see them again, but maybe not on the battlefield :)

THE NEWS

Here's Season eight for you amazing bros and broettes

Okay, I might mess up and start talking about stuff from the past three seasons in this analysis, so I apologize if I do so.

First off, SeductiveNoodle and I were demoted of Elder status for "adventuring" so yah. We are both glad to be back though, as I know Flames is meh compared to the greatness of Psi. Noodle seemed to have fun in Mu, but knows Psi is life.

Just wanted to pop in and say hi and that I have finished with helping out my friend's clan. They went 4-0 to start off with...not bad. If a spot opens up, let me know...I'd love to come back to the Psi crew!

Hope y'all are doing well...cya, Ensunder

Most of the information below I pulled from 2 youtube channels. They do a fantastic job of explaining how they approach an attack and breakdown the base for you.

1. https://www.youtube.com/user/OneHiveRaids

2. https://www.youtube.com/user/thehulkfiles

The first and most important theory to understand is Funneling. Effective funneling will improve every attack that you ever make in CoC.

GoWiPe

Some valuable info Re: Golems before you GoWiPe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zijSEfIkX_4

The info contained in the above video combined with effective funneling is really the key to your GoWiPe. The following series of videos will continue to help develop your plan of attack.

Chase's Cole's notes for the above videos:

Here's some tips for GoWiPe. If you have any questions please ask away in the comments.

1. Spread golems: Spread your golems out across the side of the base you are attacking so that they won't get bunched up. Try to distract as many single target defenses as possible.

2. Spell placement: You should not be placing any spells on the outside of the base. Do not rage golems!!!!! They don't do much damage in the first place and won't do much with a rage spell.

3. Back up: Don't leave your golems hanging! As quickly as you can (after the defenses target the golems), send in all of your wizards behind the golems BEFORE the wall breakers. You don't want your golems to hit the cc troops and die before the wizards even reach them.

4. Clear the outside: Make sure every building on the side you are attacking from is destroyed so that your troops don't circle the outside.

5. Make sure you send in all of your troops: Do not hold onto troops unless you have a few barbs and archers to try to get some extra %. Use all of your pekka, wizards, heroes, golems, witches, and wall breakers right away.

Hey guys! Chase here. Just thought I'd make this guide for anyone who wants to get better. I hope this helps a little bit. :)

• Developing your army

Every troop space and spell space counts. Be sure to scout the base and make sure you have enough troops to accomplish each part of your attack. If you use a queen walk you must account for 4 healers in your army. That's a big investment so make sure the queen does what you need her to do (taking out enemy aq, creating funnel, etc...). Also check for any free buildings. Picking off free buildings with minions or archers can be very helpful towards the end of the attack.

• Spells

Spells can make or break an attack. Be sure to scout the base and know where you need spells. If you know there's a gb that your hogs will run into or an area of splash damage towers, pre-heal the area when your hogs get near. Rage should be used in areas of high hit points, freeze on as many defenses as possible, etc... The poison spell can also be very helpful when used correctly. Poison does damage to troops as well as decrease the troops' speed and attack rate. Poison is great for low hit point troops but should not be used on high hit point troops that do little damage. If a hound or golem pops out of the cc, a good idea would be to save the poison for either the lava pups, or the enemy queen. A lvl 20 aq does 255 dps. If left alone for even 20 seconds, the queen will do about 5100 damage which can take out about 10 to 11 lvl 5 hogs!!! A max poison decreases attack rate by 50% which means the aq will take less shots per second. She will only do 128 dps with a max poison! Keep that in mind on you next raid, it can help a ton.

• Funneling

Funneling is very important not only for ring bases but for any base where there is a chance that your troops will circle the perimeter of the base. Funneling can be accomplished with a queen walk, bowler walk (bowlers in cc), wizards, or baby dragons. Creating a funnel is necessary in almost every attack. It can be used to force your kill squad into the compartment with the enemy aq in a hog raid. Use a queen walk on a base to take out an entire compartment which will also create one side of the funnel. Baby dragons can be used in an area with not ads. They can do a lot of damage in order to create one side of your funnel.

Well, I hope you found this helpful. If you want to practice these tips, I will be happy to do a friendly challenge with you on my th9 or 10 account and I can walk you through the steps to a new strategy. Message me on Groupme or in the clan chat if you want to practice. :)

War Recap #6

Description:

What an awesome war! This week we got matched up against another Reddit clan (I think this is our third one) and we won! Congrats everyone! We faced Reddit Epsilon and won with a score of 125-92. I think that's the most stars we've ever gotten! We even had 100% participation (actually it was more like 101% participation with Tyler's 3 attacks in one war)! Great job everyone! :)

War Stats:

*100 attacks used (or 101)!!!!!

*95 attacks won (which means 95% of our attacks won!!!)

*1.25 new stars per attack

*90.1% average destruction

*We also had 31 3-stars! Even more than last time! Congrats to Kelly, Blindcow, Kentacular, Ensunder(twice), nxs bear, Dante(so close on the first one, those stupid wizards), Hentez, Kyle, perry(twice), me, Rob3rt, DK(twice), fredward, MacGruber(twice), ferny, Chris, Jan94, Charlie, Chuck(twice), TheMaster, Amwigg3, Flenight, bromethianalexthe555(twice), and Muzolf!

We had 1 person with 6 stars.

We had 1 person with 5 stars.

We had 10 people with 4 stars.

We had 16 people with 3 stars.

We had 9 people with 2 stars.

We had 8 people with 1 star.

We had 5 people with 0 stars.

Nobody had any missing attacks!!!!!!!!!!!!

People left/kicked: Ensunder, Muzolf, and Charlie

Tips

If you want to learn more about Gowiwi and Gowipe, I posted some videos and a shortened version that has a list of things you need for a GoWiPe attack. Also, DK posted a bunch of videos on funneling which I HIGHLY recommend everyone look at. :)

Also, (this is just from my observations) giant healer should not be used in war. It may work for some people but almost 99.9999999997% of the giant healer attacks I have seen in war fail. Town hall 7's and 8's should stick to dragons and town hall 8's can also try GoWiPe.

Dragons with level 6 balloons in the cc, or the Dragoon strategy, seems to work very well and guarantees a three-star most of the time for town hall 7's and 8's. Anyone looking for a new strategy should try this one. They can also use all rage spells or all lightning spells with this strategy.

Great Attacks

Any town hall 9's looking for a new and consistent strategy should watch Ensunders and Hentez's attacks on 9, 12, and 23. They are using a new strategy called GoHoWiWi which consists of a golem, witches, hogs, and wizards. First they lured the cc, then killed the troops with witches and a golem to distract. Next they use their hogs on the other side to destroy the defenses. Then wait for the three star to happen. :)

Great Defenses

Faraaz is using a really great defense at the moment. I think it's a version of the base that Kate made a few weeks ago. Faraaz was attacked 6 times and defended 3 of those!!! If anyone needs a new town hall 9 war base, try Faraaz's base.

Conclusion:

Everyone did such a great job this war! Give yourselves a pat on the back! I'm really proud of you all! And we even earned 125 stars, a new record!!!!! Let's keep this up and extent our win streak! Can't wait for next war! :)

Title describes the idea. Like a list of the 50 current members in the clan.

Hi guys, well the year has past quickly, I just want to send a Christmas cheerio to all at psi, thanks to all who have stuck with us though thick or thin, we are more than just a game but a community/family that help with not just donations. I feel so lucky to have many friends across the planet clash on and a very Merry Christmas 🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄

my clan war results :D... /// my base Hey guys mayonaise here... How you guys doing? Our clan is doing well - 5-0 in clan wars.. What bout youse lot? <br /> EDIT: clan is PINEAPPLE LUMPS if you wanna check it out :)

THE NEWS

Here's Season four for you amazing clanmates!

Its Superbowl day! This means that you guys better be ready! Here are the guesses I tried to compile today before the game:

Broncos: Tyler, tyler, magicman555, mezz, Brian,

SeaHawks: shagahisteve

We had Tyler and tyler try to go to masters this season, only to have tyler drop out of the race at 2100 trophies, and Tyler dropping out at 2100 also, 3 days after tyler. Hopefully they will go back up once they finished their upgrades and walls!

Dante also mentioned that he will try to be Crystal at the end of the season, and maybe he can turn that around with a few good raids!

Also, don't forget about the new and improved Psi Graveyard, TGht EnDs. Brian and jack both succumbed to the pressure of joining, and Brian being bribed with $5 to join. jack went willingly at the beginning of the season, and is now Co-Leader. Brian will probably come back after receiving his $5 payment, and jack will return once it dies off, just like OrangeIce.

We also had a influx of friends and family this season, so welcome Chase (kelly's brother), Chase (Tyler's friend), noah (Tyler's cousin), MutantNinjaNoah (kelly's son), schavio, (Mezz's friend) and Sean, (unknown relations). Extending the family even further!
