Sh is a good build for beginners because you are not committed to it for the long run.. Any other build people tell you to have will burn you if you don't like it.. Converting sucks once you commited to a build.
Sh is the best building that I have done and it is for this reason. People always stronger than me told me that the best method in starting a new build, is to upgrade spies first all the time just spies and then troops. Once SH had been accomplished it was up to me which build I would prefer
I will admit that being a hybrid was fun but lacked in plunder compared to smaller rank spy/attack builds. Being a hansel is fun. Even tho as a 22m cs hybrid before i make more now being a smaller hansel (17m-ish) than i did before.
