Hansel conversion question

  1. Greetings and thank you for taking the time to look at a question that has been bothering me.

    As a guild hansel sould I bother converting to SoS lvl3 or can I go straight to Vols lvl 1?

    The reason this does not seem clear cut to me are due to some of the following facts:

    for this example I am a 37 land guild hansel
    I am planning to convert 35 lands:

    Cost of SoS lvl 3 convert is 498B (not accounting for guilds sold)
    Cost of Vol lvl 1 convert is 922b (not accounting for guilds sold)

    The difference in total stats are:
    450,800/450,800
    + 2905 regen
    +35,000 Spy troops

    By converting to lvl 1 vols you avoid the 400b loss in buying SoS then converting to Vols later.

    Lvl 1 Vol has a bigger assas bonus and adds more to max plunder then a level 3 SoS. (unsure of the exact numbers)


    I'm newish to KaW so I may be missing something here but it does not seem cost effective to even bother with SoS conversion at all. I've been told that this is wrong but not why. I was hoping someone could explain it or point me in the right direction.

    Much appreciated!
     
  2. SoS are needed for LL, if your looking for stats
     
  3. So if stats aren't my top priority, but getting closest to BC is, this would be viable or would I be taking the long way so to speak?
     
  4. Go to vols for highlands
     
  5. BC is all builds complete lol
     
  6. Switch all of your guilds on highlands to vols at the same time. Then switch all of your guilds on lowlands to SoSs afterwards
     
  7. Lc with guilds then swap to Vols when full
