How many Coes would I need to hit haunting without pots if I also had diamond sword and leonine arm plates and a level 2 castle
just use seal of deflection on every attack. then you can have only one attack pot, and use it for item phases and attacks. trust me, it never fails... if I remember correctly...
Just doing some quick math, so don't expect this to be exact, you're missing about 456k of stats (not raw). According to wulf's thread found below, the lv 3 coe gives just about 95k attack. soooo...456k (32m raw to hit haunts bueno - the bonus you have from equipment [including the hooves]) divided by 95k stats per coe leaves you 4.8 coes required. so 5 total. http://forum.kingdomsatwar.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=105624&start=40
a single mith should be cheaper in the end as well btw ... especially for you ... as I guess it's around max 600m, right? ...
Ahhh fiddlesticks..i forgot the castle. I don't think the 40k will affect too much, seeing as you'll still need 5 total (416k/95k rather than 456k/95k is still between 4 and 5).
At 15 COE, 1.486mil attack cs with castle L3, you can hit haunt down to last 3 attacks without using extra troops.
Equip hunt or do wars to get some RP equip. Then at 25 mill attack stats from equip. No need for pots
You need to get more perm equip to hit haunt w/o pots, I can empty out on all but two ebs w/o pots and never fail because I have a static 57.4 mill bonus from my perm items, and one colony
but note ... if you switch to att build you'll make yourself an easy target for steals, too, which will slow your growth (up to extremely) depending on your "personal" hunter ... that was my main reason to change my build on all three my accs btw ... paying less is the only effective defense against THAT ... (a bit more effective at least) ...
You need 27m attack to win a hit on haunting and use the minimal amount of troops. Use that as a reference.
