A guide to building a strong hybrid

As a hybrid I've done pretty well in EE wars. I can usually be in top 8 in plunder but low in winning KO's. Any build can be an EB build but you have to learn how to use your build to suit what you're aiming for.

Hybrids are a reliable build with a lot of different ways to construct them. Through this thread I will go through a series of different hybrid builds and how it's best to get there (in my opinion, please comment if u think differently about any of the things I say).

What is a hybrid and why is it a good build?
A hybrid is a build with reasonably balanced spy and troop stats, and can be altered to have completely balanced stats, or can be spy heavy, or troop heavy. They can very useful in wars and 1v1s, as they are great at hitting the weaknesses of opponents (like if taking on an attack build, a hybrid could assassinate the attack build, taking out both their troops and spies, and if taking on a spy build, a hybrid could attack the spy build and take a heap of gold from them). They are also pretty good builds for epic battles, better are far more unique for those who seek wars and personal battles (1v1s, 1v2s, 2v2s etc).

How to start off a hybrid
There are many different ways to start off different builds in KaW, and personally, i like to start all builds off with buying lots of forges and only a few guilds until the build is strong enough to unload on tier 2 or tier 3 epic battles because hitting epic battles successfully is critical for getting started in KaW. Once started off, you can then start to gradually modify and change your build with reasonable ease.

Different types of Hybrid

Pure balanced hybrid
This was the first hybrid i created, and i have figured out that to get equal stats building a hybrid, the following buildings for each set of land (highlands, lowlands, hoarfrost) is required:
Lowlands - 10 circles of elements, 1 castle, 14 strongholds of shadow
Highlands - 10 colonies, 15 volaries
HF - 10 or 11 elven temples, 14 or 15 unkari ice trees (educated guess, either way it should be very balanced)

Attack heavy hybrid
In my opinion, this is the best type of build for being able to hit epic battles, and how to build it is completely up to you, as to how far "attack heavy" you want it, although i would not go any further attack heavy than having half troop buildings, half spy buildings.

Spy heavy hybrid
I love to war with spy heavy hybrids, as I always find myself using spies far more than troops, because they can not only pin your opponents spies, but they can also pin their troops, leaving them dtw (defender to weak), and are great for pinning attack builds much bigger than yourself. Like attack heavy hybrids, this type of hybrid is completely up to you on how you build it, and it varies on how spy heavy you want your kingdom to be.

Hybrids with big defense
Defense towers are becoming the new trend for wars these days (although not useful for epic battles) and having a hybrid with defense towers is extremely variable on what you can do. You could have a spy or troop heavy hybrid, and then make up for the weaker side with a heap of defense towers, or you could have a balanced build with spy or troop defense towers making one side bigger in defense, or you could also have equal boosted defense for both spies and troops, and that's some of the examples!

But anyway, that is my guide to building strong hybrids, and I hope it has helped anyone whom is looking at making, or converting to, a hybrid build. Thankyou for reading and please comment any questions or feedback Have fun
