Sh should switch to ps! A small ps build like mine is very good for war! I can ok any sh and they can't get close to koing me... I was once an sh and I upgraded most of my SOS to lvl 2 and put a lvl 1 volary up!
It's okay cuz sh can't plunder on ps unless they have gold out... I can just ko the sh and take their plunder score
Maybe not plunder in war but the eb plunder is insane! and if we are used right we can be the difference in an EE battle
I actually recommended this exact playing style to my previous clan. Sadly they didn't try it out, but I found no fault with SH-sized PS. Someone please tell me why it wouldn't work. Seriously.
Also dropping to ps will get you in the range of the sh anyway... This type of ps is best in primal wars
