A Second Three Star Attack

I don't usually put much credence in advertising, particularly commercials with actors saying they use some product or another. So I was surprised when I saw an actor I tend to like in movies promoting a product I enjoy using.

It was interesting to see the game I play daily advertising during the biggest and most watched game in the world. They must be making some dough to be able to pay for that spot and I wonder what kind of bump in players there will be from the ad.

For myself, I have continued regular play and I made my second 3 star attack. This time against a level 5 base.

I used similar tactics as I did against the th4 base I destroyed in the previous war, and the Giants did a great job against the th5 defenses. One thing I made sure of this time was that I brought a contingent of Goblins with me that would clean up after the Giants. I added them into the tactic when I saw a previous attack fail because they ran out of time.

Giants are great for taking out the defenses of the opposing village, but they are slow and single minded. Too many times have I sent them in to attack and they went right past the town hall – destroying the town hall guarantees at least a single star – to attack cannons and archer towers and then not have the speed to get back to destroy all the buildings. While the Giants focus on defenses, the Goblins focus on resource buildings – including the town hall – and they move quickly. By sending in Giants first, the Goblins don't get attacked and can destroy everything the Giants pass by.

I think I am starting to get a better understanding of this game and am building some better tactics. It's definitely still fun and obviously, still has contains things I need to learn.
