I was wondering if you have a clan 'war' but the enemy have a couple strong guys and your clan has all mediocre guys that could win maybe 1 battle out of every 20 could you have a couple guys that just attack to take down the enemies troops and one guy that tries to actually win the battles? Would that work?
Well some of your guys just attack knowing they are going to lose but continue just to take his troops down. Aka suicide bombing
I think your tactic is flawed because the attacker looses massive swaths of troops while the defender looses very little. There are better tactics for enemy engagement. One would be to choose a better clan to fight.
If anyone read distance's guide in war you would know there are people that are given potions to attack all day without caring wins or losses. Look through a couple pages in strategy and find it for more detail.
@OP. Theoretically, YES! (depending on the amount of players on both sides). If you have enough small guys to waste on the "bigs" of the ememy, you can keep them pinned. Therefore allowing you to attack the ones you can win against. This is not a certain win, however, you can keep them from making much plunder. That being said, this is a typical war strategy. If you team has any clue how to war they will always pin from the top down. Xstals are however, variables as well. Hope that helps. iPsYcHo P.S. Never use the term "suicide bombing" in this game again.
In addition, once they are pinned, have your largest player that can win (now that they have 20% defence strength) "sit" on them.
I have used this tactic multiple times in FC. 2 guys close to double my size, rest of clan smaller. It worked both times.. I think it is a good strategy if you're in a clan of noobs
