re: Castle Clash: iOS/Droid Tigerdroppins Guild... iOS boss fight Sunday at 9

I use them when I'm raiding sometimes so it's likely that we will run out normally. But I think the riches is where you can make the money at.

Yeah I initially stated we should be using those over the protection flag, but when they ran out someone just bought more. It's not a big deal for me, as right now I can usually raid back-to-back and be stacked full of gold pretty quickly. If you run into someone with a lot of gold, the flag can make a pretty good difference. I just don't want to waste too much on flags so we can build up for the major guild upgrades (not that we need to right now, we really need more regulars so we can do boss 2 nightly).

So it looks like the 6th hero and bumping PD up to 5/9 got me to being able to farm G. I beat it 3 times in a row, never lost a hero and lost 1 tower once.

Now if only there was some way for me to practice boss fights...

Top 6:
TG 122 4/9 Revive 2/5
PD 117 5/9 Berserk 3/5
Druid 115 4/9 Berserk 3/5
Immo 114 2/9 Revitalize 3/5
Champ 103 4/9 Berserk 1/5
GR 103 3/9 Berserk 3/5

Bench:
Ninja 120 3/9 Heavy Blow 1/5
Druid 120 4/9 Heavy Blow 1/5 (my original Druid, kept only to help out in boss fights with stun)
Paladin 100 3/9 War God 2/5


Still using 40:1 base setup. Edit: And my towers are only 8 8 7 7, with only 3 2 2 1 purple garrison only.


I checked out your base... is that how you leave it for HBM? With all your buildings so close to your heroes, do any of your heroes ever lone-wolf it and get killed? If so, it's dominoes after that. The key to HBM is, if an enemy gets close enough that 1 hero attacks him, then he has to be close enough for all your heroes to attack him. Generally this means all your buildings, vaults and all, have to be well out of range of your hero bases, and wave 1 should destroy everything except your heroes and towers. This is really, really shitty for raid defense, but it's the only way I stand a chance doing the higher HBM.

Revision: Yeah one may lone wolf every so often but not much.

Nobody lone wolfs I don't think.

Then can you describe what happens to make you lose F and G? Do you lose heroes or towers before wave 5? With your lineup, you should be able to do those pretty easily. After wave 1 destroys all my outer buildings, HBM F waves 2-5 just rush straight toward my towers, and my heroes just wipe them out before they can come close to destroying a tower, much less aggro on a hero. Now HBM G is similar, except wave 5 can sometimes take down a tower and then focus on a hero or two. I think the only way I can lose G is if wave 4 manages to kill a tower, and then wave 5 comes from the same direction and goes straight toward my heroes.

And I forgot to mention my hero bases are all level 15 except my newest one, so I guess that can make a difference.

The problem is that if I set buildings way back then I get raided often. Just like you said. I guess you just choose which one you want.

I choose HBM every time. G gives you 3X the exp vs. E, plus 40 shards vs 30. And the occasional 300k gold is nice.

I used to be bothered by raids, but now my upgrades take so long that my builders are always busy so I don't have anything to spend gold on anyway. I get 100% raided 4 or 5 times a day. In the last 17 hours, I have been raided 8 times and lost 1,100,000 gold and 1,350,000 mana, and I still have 700k each in my vaults. In 4 hours, an upgrade will finish, and I will go ahead and raid the 500k (or sell my frost witch statue for 500k) I need for the next upgrade. My next upgrade after that doesn't end until tomorrow, and I'll do the same thing. Protecting my gold doesn't even matter to me, because whether it's out in the open or barricaded behind walls, somebody is going to take it if they want it bad enough.

Again, the 2 base save setup would be awesome

Yep, especially since hero trials, which seem like they will require a 3rd type of setup to beat most of them.

WTF?????

There are 3 decoration statues you can buy: Frost Witch, Thunder God, and Centaur Chieftan, and they cost 1M, 2M, and 4M gold. You can sell them later for 50% of cost.

I haven't tried H yet, but I did get this on G

Can you post your setup?

If you just got to where you can do G, don't even think about maybe trying H. H is fricked up. Those OmniRomniChopper things take down towers waaay too fast. I've been farming G now for quite a while with at least 95% success rate, and rarely do I lose heroes or towers. H will smoke my arse. I made it to H-5 once.
