I have some questions for you forums. I have been thinking about going pure spy for some time now. I dropped all COEs and replaced with 1 T2 building. I know pure spy is old to transfer money with, being easily attackable, and that it makes good money at bonuses. Question 1: When is a pure spy DTW? Question 2: Should I use the T2 interchangeably with a guild? Question 3: What advantages come with pure spy? Question 4: What disadvantages? (obvious question because of question 3 ) Question 5: How well does pure spy do with farming? Please answer like this 1: (answer) 2: 3: 4: 5: (Don't answer all if you can't.) Why no on question thread!!!???? More than 1 question, and more of a discussion.)
1. You'll be DTW, when you got 0 gold out. 5. Farming --> You can't be attacked @ 0 gold, but can be endlessly assassinated, even after 0 spies. So if you got SDP, will get burnt easily. 3. Advantages? EB wise, nothing. PvP. Can be annoying to the other person, when they can't attack you. If no allies, and no gold out, all banked.. Pretty much nothing anyone can do to hurt you.
1.Whenever you have no gold out(don't buy allies) 2.Yes 3.Cant attack you unless you have gold out. 4.if you have gold out you cannot become DTW until it is all gone. 5.Its pretty decent as far have I have seen. Just when you farm leave the clan so you don't ever have gold out from the bonus at the end.
1: when they have no gold out they are dtw to attacks. when their spies are dead + no gold out for dtw steals 2: t2? wtf? do you mean sos? what do you mean "interchangeably"? no sense made of that. 3:not many. with no allies and no gold out, a pure spy cannot be harmed. they can be pinned, but that is it. they have nothing to lose. they are great for people that like to annoy people. 4:no bfa. a pure spy with allies is just asking to be stripped. easy money for the attacker. 5:depends on what sort of farming you mean. if you just want to piss people off, then they are great. if you want to make money from farming, they are terrible. steals just don't produce much income. go hansel instead. it is a superior build in most regards. the can go dtw to assassinates by self-pinning troops, which makes it harder to pin their spies. not to mention income is on an entirely different level. and you can have allies without worrying (as much) about getting stripped.
@wordwaster I mean T2 attk building, like switch it out whenever I need too. Sorry couldn't quote. I forget the bb code, and on iPod. Anyone know the code??
*Crosses fingers* Question 6: Will dropping the attack building matter for being an OSF of sorts? It is so low stats, does it make much of a difference.
I strongly recommend hansel or hybrid for a few more months. Pure spy is a fun way to play, but a terrible way to grow.
an attack building means you are NOT and osf or pure spy by definition. btw an osf is an account that is meant to be farmed by your allies in order to give them money. the practice has become obsolete due to the fact that hauntings pay better. an attack building makes you a hansel. that 1 attack building makes big changes to how the account works.
