Okay, i want to start warring (EE), but im not sure of the correct path to go down. Hansel and boosted defence? Heavy attack and boosted spy defence? All stats at an equilibrium? Complete spy build? Need some advice
My advice: don't change your build and start warring until the rules of war are set in stone. While there are different rules for different wars, and the matching system is not yet sorted out, it is difficult to know what builds will give the best chances in the most wars.
Start getting some spy towers for a start. And do some wars after that. Get a feel then decide what suits u.
