Yeah, items and allies add on to your cs. Spells also, but less so. Builds that are spy heavy get ranked higher as less spy stats are the worth the same as more stats but attack stats. I'm not sure about the exact stats, but you can find them on a guide somewhere here on the forums
Hansels were reduced significantly in terms of clan position and leaderboard position over a year ago. A hfbc Hansel is approx 2500 places below a hfbc attack build on the overall leaderboard (minimal bfa ).
Then why am I ranked significantly higher then Attack builds in my clan, (on lb). They're above me in clan roster, but on overall lb I'm almost 1,000 spots ahead of them.
The HFBC (edit: Hansels) are much stronger than me in my clan with 10x the BFA than me and im higher in (edit: CR not CS). Hansels are NOT favored in LB/CR. They are getting screwed actually.
My first post was riddled with typos. I meant im HFBC hybrid build and HFBC hansels with ALOT more BFA than me are lower on the CR and LB than me.
The stat weighting on cr is in favor of troop stats, not spies. Hence the much lower ranking than previous. Overall Lb does not have the same mechanics as said before.
i think he was using the overall lb as an example to try and correct your answer to the op's question.
Overall LB is heavily weighted towards actions including all spy actions. That's why silph is so high.
