War checklist and hints

This blog is collection of hints that i personally think about before I attack enemy base in clan wars. I wanted to share this with the clan members as a starter for discussion. I hope to receive good feedback that I can then use to improve this guide (and also create other content here)

Select the enemy base

- When using hogs avoid bases with anti-hog layout (circle inside the base with no defensive buildings) or inferno towers with multitarget mode

- If using mass dragon avoid bases with air defenses safely inside the base (or inferno towers with single target mode)

Plan your attack

- Plan how you will pull out the heroes and clan castle troops. One nice trick is to click the enemy clan castle to see the pull radius. Additionally note that you can see how many troops the clan castle has (below picture 25/25).

- When planning the attack consider also where you kill the enemy troops and try to imagine how your own army will move within the base.

- For example I did this attack by first clan castle troops with giants and barbarians. Took them out at the south side of the base (green lines). 

- Additionally I planned this as hog attack where the red lines show the way I expected them to move in the base (and they did). In general, I have noticed that being able to expect where your hogs (or other attack units) move is extremely important in certain attacks. For example when you absolutely must take out some key defensive buildings asap or you risk loosing the entire attack (inferno towers, air defences...).

- If someone from the clan has already attacked the same base, check the replay carefully to see

   o what troops are in the clan castle

   o where are teslas and giant bombs located

Final check

- Make sure that you are ready to attack

   o See that your army is fully build and as you have expected (correct number of each troop type etc.)

   o See that your heroes are ready

   o Check that your spells are in order

   o See that clan castle is full 

Good luck!!!
