First off, assassinate one time top down and find someone with no pots, or not enough pots. In order to figure out if it's not enough you should wait for a full regen. Once you have 2-3 options label them according to their rank in their clan. Share your targets with your clan for other spies. The strongest should always be your first pick!! There are two main strategies, depending on your device or conditions. 1) unload a full regen, and bank ALL your profits into offense pots. This is best for people who work full time and can't get on much. Pure spies are better for those restricted players anyways, in my opinion. 2) Steal once, bank, and regen. Spies make the most money on their first steal, and this way earns you the most money fastest. But it is time cosuming!! People with the time able to go this route often do investigating into their politics and allies to see what's happening behind scenes. Many of you notice that there is always an amount less than five thousand that's very difficult to get rid of. Offer it to your clan, as the enemy will only grab it and aid their cause.
Instead of attacking once then waiting to regen I reccomend five times then wait ten minutes much more of an intake that way
I hate to say this... Spies are not for game wars. If your a spy and you steal. Even if you bank. Residual gold opens you up to be hit for max plunder. You steal....6-8 mill if you pass all 8 spy def pots. And you pay out 10-12 mill math is never wrong. If your a pure spy. Game wars are not for you.
what if its a maxed out pure spy? ( all level 4 guilds) money shouldnt really matter anymore since theres nothing else to spend it on since most pure spies dont carry allies.
Might be worth meantioning when you hit the 5k gold spot: There's a I believe 1,250 spy defence potion you can buy. Extra defence for gold going to be lost anyways? Hmm.. Spies have uses, just not in storming the castle. Think of other uses..
Lol I make 1b+ in wars, I used to do the forge build but then saw more potential in pinning those with 150k-250k def and then stealing that same person, some people aren't well prepared for war and those are farms for spy builds with a forge or sub(i use sub now).
I like wars. I work 50 hours a week. I don't want to be farmed all day. As long as you let your clannies take your pennies a pure spy is a good asset in a war. Enough pure spies can be a game changer. In my last war I was only hit by the other clan 2 times, while I added more to the pool then what they earned off those hits. 50 hours a week means I'm on 3-4 times a day. Fighters can farm fighters non stop. Spies have easier times farming fighters. Thus... being an active fighter in a war isn't a good deal at all. I made this for those pure spies out there that want to war with their build. It's possible, and helps your clan by adding more plunder than the can. P.S. I've never been able to do the small hit (3-5 or whatever), regen and repeat tatic myself, as I don't get on enough to make it profitable for me.

I pin pure spies in war. I have all L4 buildings but 1 and I carry full spy allies. It makes me stronger than a pure spy. I can steal them like nuts and unless they're potted up like mad it doesn't cost me a thing. I'm not a fan of pure spy. I like them as allies and targets though.
Those must be real bad pure spies. A smart pure spy banks gold and lets clan their clan takes its pennies and most the time they are potted up like crazy because they have nothing else to spend their money on. I am saying overall u would have an epic fail aginst a decent pure spy.
um its kinda obvious, have a member inside your clan hit you after u bank (u being a pure spy) and take the extra cash off u (lets them get some extra cash, the enemy gets none) so ur closed... im sure SOMEONE has done this before, please i hope to god this has been done before....
@funnyman it's been done before, I do it all the time. A good strategy for pure spies is have an empty space of land or sell a guild during a war. Right before the war starts, buy a level 1 forge, and pin all the troops. Then have fun stealing from the enemy. You can't get hit by attackers because your troops are gone. Then bank and keep your people killed each time you regen. If you ever have to go, tell your clan to get ready, sell the forge, bank the money, then so hit me in chat(there may be faster ways) this way just made them at most get one hit on you if you did it correctly. You are most likely getting enough from the war to get the guild back up anyways, and it helps your clan.
@godsninja13 That is the way I usually do it. If you check in enough for your spy troops to regen you can burn your attack troops from the forge. Also, close down a lil before war to pot up to your eyes
Lol it's funny how you guys think so highly of pure spies. So you think just because you have no gold out means you can't bleed. Think again. There are many strategies to be used against pure spies. Just go figure lol. True in low to mid level wars spies usually are effective but at higher level wars spies are more of a burden then an asset.
Agree Godsin. NBN used NAL pure spies to great effect during our war. We waited until right at the end to spring the trap.
Godsin is right. Very few spies do well in endgame wars. Unless they have mad allies to back up a Hansel build (even then, they can be stripped). Also, if you hire and drop a spies ally value, and get it down low enough, it opens them up.
This what works for me. I keep one forge. Then I burn all the troops on quest. This way I am below the 20% mark and can not be hit that way they have to hit me with spies, which dosen't work. I tried no forges but what I noticed was they can hit you atleast once. But if you do it the way I said above you have about 10 min. To move your cash at once instead of piece meal.
