Plunder on assassinations works the same as it does for attacks. The more spies you have, the bigger payout the assassination earns. For example, an assassination with full spies earns, say, 20 million in your payout. An assassination when you have almost no spies left only earns around, say, 1 million. Try to skim your assassinations and see if that helps.
Duuuude you should totally grow without any spies. Just keep that 100k and post on my wall so I have a link to... watch you grow.
I just did a test. During a haunting, I had 42 attacks that were all skimmed above the 50% mark. I made 2.3b in total.
Attack builds need only use their troops in HTE. Spies are almost useless for that EB because it actually decreases plunder when you use them
Alt, 5.4 spy attack hansel, makes 6.3 bill an unload, and me, an attack build. Uses only troops and makes like 6.3 also. Very close. No towers on either and my acc is hlbc with 13 Hf, alt is 20 lands, most lv 3, with 12 hf spy
410 attacks , u got 8b 350 attacks and assas combined , assas are more than attacks , so obviously u had less than 175 attacks , should be areound 130-140 and u got 4b from those attacks if we consider 0 plunder from spies. but as for 1st one u should get 4b for 205 actions<attacks> but u had less attacks in the 2nd one , so yes , use ur spies , use them !
OP, you would make a terrible scientist, fortunately there are huge opportunities in statistics these days. If you really want to know the answer, do a Haunting with no pots and a predetermined number of hits. Say skim 50 or full bar unload, which ever is easier to duplicate. From this baseline you can measure with pots, skim 50 ass, skim 50 vs full unload, whatever you can think of.
