@ cloud I see your logic there. Sound strategy. One concern though. I'm not a fan of hitting before going to SB target. Give a 60mcs spy 30-40 seconds on a build like me, and he will zs me and reduce my troops level to 40%. Therefore I'm not sure the delay to hit a ps1 once is worth it.
Takes me 10s to do 2 att on ps1. Dont need pots already spamming them at open. At 20 to 25s i am on the sb target. Its speed and affective hitting.
PS is a build with cool mechanics. They can stay zero gold and ass without leaking any plunder. Unfortunately as with every build, there is a downside. If they have gold out then they get plundered like crazy. If someone wants to hire a Ps ally to give them gold out, then that's part of war. Just be careful who you hire off of, some clans will strip you back.
@ frog There is other players already Sb the ps1. By the time Ps1 ready to Assn. They will not be as effective.
@War Both you and cloud have better sdt than me, so I assume you guys don't get targeted by the big spies as often. If I am reading what you say correctly, clouds one or two opening hits on a ps1 won't matter because others will still be doing SB. However can we safely assume this? What if the others decide to take opening plunder too and the spy is untouched for 15-20 seconds? Let's say you, me and cloud are on a team that has opening target to "SB ps cr4", and cr4 opening target is to assassin me. However, instead of that, you both decide to hit ps1cr9 twice before switching to cr4. Would the amount cr4 assassin me for in that 15s delay be less than the amount of plunder you guys get from hitting ps1cr9? Remember if that ps is untouched for 30-40s he might get me to 40%. I'm not against hitting ps1 builds, I'd just prefer to leave them to smaller hybrids and try to have my big boys on bigger targets.
I have warred with a spammer, I was tracking, so I spammed just as much as they did, so people could see up's >1 min and KO order, yes my actions weren't terribly good but I supported the rest of my team, giving we only lost by 2b our PM war commands were sound while people followed my spam.
Frog the only advice i can give is up your sdt. Would rather not waste my first regen while i was sb. 15s to 20s thats only a few ass with 25 people in a war you should have 20 to 22 sb the 3 to 5 ps. If there our han the han will be dumping troops so they are not assing which is why you shouldn't go ps1 in classic or random wars. Advantage wars i could see because best war formate to strip a ps is during advantage wars. With new lands unless massive att bfa there is not a good reason to be a han
Yeah, I designed my build to be ASW ready, since ASW is the top 10000 builds, I calculated there would be far more attack builds than spies, and even the spies participating wouldn't target me much. As a result, I made an adt heavy build and went light on sdt. Trying to up them as much as I can now.
@ frog We have others to Sb PS and PS1. You need to assign a few to Att x1 No pots. Example: 2PS1 3PS PS1 A - 2Hybids x1 Att No pots. 2Att SB PS1 B - 2Hybrids x1 Att No pots. 2Att SB PS C, D, E - 4pax per PS To even lower PS/PS1 the effective range (where tanker sdt able to absord) - some WC will assign Assn No pots to certain % then switch to SB. This is for speed and more spy kills.
