belle had a nice post regarding spy builds mechanics and some ppl were asking ab hybrid builds. i was playing around wi hybrids for some time and like to offer some of my understandings and findings in regards to the qns ppl post on belle's thread i personally label an hansel as hybrid hansel if have more than 1 atk building. however if u hav more than 25% and above land wi atk bldgs, it will render the hansel mechanics void and make u same as a hitter build. meaning when u hav 40 open lands (minus castle) u cant hav 10 land and above wi atk buildings, or a hansel/hybird hitters can hit u when u zero gold if u did not selfpin atk troop below 20% to return to hansel build if u overshot wi more than 25% atk bldg, u simply need to open more land and build few more spy bldgs so tat yr atk buildings does not hit 25% and above of total land opened. which brings me to hybrid hitters, which again i personally label as so when a hitter build hav 25% and above land wi spy buildings. (once again doesnt matter which tier or stats as long as its spy building). this build is unique cus like a hansel, it can hit hansels when 0 gold (as long as hansel atk troop above 20%), other than tat its basically the same mechanics as a normal hitter build hybrids are best in rw when in the hands of v active player. hybrid hansel (and normal hansel of course) can be used to gain much more plunder by atking another hansel compared to stealing. u need to be v active hitting another hansel while keeping yr atk troop below 20%. this way u will be dtw to another hansel or hitter even if u hav gold out from atking successfully. fighting from pin also allows more time to bank gold since by keeping atk troop less tahn 20% u are dtw to all atks. steal is still possible thou its obviously harder to steal from a hansel. hansels are also more dangerous due to the introduction of new pots. from my exp, a hansel with ard 300k atk can hit up to 2.5 to 3mil def if opponent is low troop. how consistent the success rate of course depends on yr atk bfa and opponent def bfa. spell obviously helps and increase the success rate of hits. i like to use hansel to sit on hitters with lower def while allowing hitters from my side to hit tougher targets hybrid hitters open the door to more plunder opportunity simply cus u can hit hansel who did not selfpin in addition to other builds. hybrid hitters obviously hav hi proportion of atk stats and will hit thru most hansels even without the new pots or spell, unless the hansel hav really crazy bfa. highest atk stats possible for a bc hansel is 10 atk buildg max (less than 25% of 44 land possible) thus will be no match for a mid range hybrid hitter. however hybrid hitters are not perfect either. by having hi proportion of spy stats u sacrifices atk/def. meaning a normal hitter build hav a gd chance of getting u, considering same total stats. thus to optimize hybrid hitter builds while reducing risk of leaks to normal hitters, u need to fight from pin on hansels, constantly and consistently gaining plunder even wi only 20% troop, while selfpinning against other hitter builds. thats more or less what i tested and how i ultilize hybrids in war. any comments or differences in my figures and opinion is welcomed. to round it up, theres No perfect build. any builds in the hands of active players is deadly .
its fine lol wait till deadly sees my handwritings. i bet he/she tears the paper and burn it rite in front of me. lol any comments on the builds other than my screwed english?
I prefer the attack hybrid after experimenting with a few builds. It is necessary to keep a high bfa to falter the attacks of hitters. Even against the biggest of attack builds a few assassinations can make them fairly easy targets.
I also have fun with my hybrid as it's nice to easily assassinate a big attack build down and then attack his troops when they're low. You're right, the build is very deadly in the hands of an active player. The English errors here are obviously due to a language barrier, so I'm giving Bloodlust credit for making it. The content is fluid and well-organized, which is much better than most of the ramblings here in forums. Thanks for making this. It was helpful and informative.
I don't read guides which aren't spelled properly. No need for all the pretty colors and stuff, but punctuate and spell for the love of god. Post a pic of your BFA and we'll see if this guide has any credibility. A Hansel without massive BFA from attack allies is worthless in my book. It's soon to be a potless farm if I jump on it. An argument for massive spy allies I'm in on too, but you have to show at least 1.
I really would like to read this, but sadly noob isn't one of the languages I'm fluent in. Please try again with passably understandable grammar and spelling.
hmmm first of all im comfy wi my shorthand typo. like someone mentioned most ppl would hav no problem reading the post unless 1) u're a kiddo 2) intellectually impaired (again like someone mentioned lol) 3) u re not interested in the subject u're here jus to insult or jeer watever. im not trying to insult or pull an arguement here. neither am i gonna post ss of my certificates, english grades since dev did not request for it b4 a post. nor am i gonna chk the thers or google for more flashy words to proof how much brain cells i can activate for a simple game forum post.... cus many ppl on the forum are jus like bosses at work place: they always hav something to complain ab no matter how hard u try or how gd u are ^_^ anyway bk to the thread and subject.... i dun hav much bfa in both of the eg i quote. hitting up to 3mil def wi 300k atk stats was without spell, wi 13 atk pots and holding ard 500b of allies worth of bfa. so no, dun think im gonna post my bfa to proof credibility to my example. full atk spells give 70mil raw atk power, full 13 pots 145mil (of which 70mil from the 2 new pots alone). these combined, add ard 215mil atk stats even if u hav t1 for yr hansel. and my point is tat even wi 20% of my atk troop, hansels still hav alot of punch on mid ranking hitter builds when they low troop. qn of whether u are active enough to hit the other hansel first, thus getting the plunder and the meat
having hefty bfa of course helps. if u hav like 100mil atk bfa alone (normal hitters will hav ard 150mil atk stats at full trp), u will be quite a formidable player to be reckoned wi. but it will also means the following: 1. u might need to swipe an considerable amt or u hav to spend really months and month jus to hit such bfa 2. having so much allies on hand means u might hav gd chances tat one of them gets hired during a war, opening u to hits and of course losing gold. u can make them way overpriced but that again mean u need to swipe more or hit even harder on watever means u use to earn gold to cover the cost of hi bfa not all can hav crazy bfa on a hansel build. but one can be active and diligent in studying opponent roster to look for targets u can consistently feed on. those who did most probably will ranked as one of the top plunderers on war history records. cus while yr clan mates are scanning and fighting for watever scraps they can find up and down the roster when they hav lead and sitting on them, the active and smart hansels and hybrids are getting consistent hits and plunder every regen cus only they can bite certain cuts of meat lol
Thx evil for the post. Something I like to add on. I believe 25% of land wi spy or ATk buildings does not include towers. I had a frd who's bc with like 9 SOS and 10 spy towers. He can't hit hansel without gold even thou like u said, he have more than 25% land with spy buildings. (9 10)
thx eli for pointing tat out. when i was first testing the hybrid criterion i started wi stats. a clan mate hybrid hitter wi 18% spy stats out of total stats can hit hansel without gold while another wi towers and 21% cant hit this brought me and my clannies to the suspicion tat spy towers nor % of spy stats dun count in the criterion when determing if u are a hybrid. i tested out with my hansel and it was indeed land based, ie hitters need more than 25% land to hav sos/guilds and hansel cannot hav more than 25% above or u will deemed as hitter build instead. another hybrid clanmate with 12 mixture of guilds and sos again cfm that both sos and guilds count as spy buildings, and once again reiterate % of spy stats dun matter since she hav relatively low spy stats due to uncoverted guilds. this seems logical tat towers dun count in hybrid status since towers offer no troops except raw but def/spy def stats which works like bfa. thus thx to eli for clarifying wi his frd's case as example
