So many things are in the works as I push forward on both accounts. The return of my original account is helping so much by providing just that tiny bit of extra troops. For that I can do a lot more in terms of beating bases. Plus, I think my overall times for building have been accelerated just because I’m getting that little bit of extra loot each time I win.
The big thing is that I managed to max out my Grand Warden for my Town Hall 11 base. I used a Goblin Knife attack after my Grand Warden hit level 18 to pick up a ton of Elixir. Then I used my Book of Heroes for the instant completion followed by the Rune of Elixir to fill my storage back up and commence level 20. So the great thing is that I can focus the rest of my Elixir on my troop upgrades and a few spells.
That does leave my other two Heroes open for now. I feel there’s no real need to rush either until my Grand Warden is done. My Archer Queen has proven to be invaluable and I don’t want to waste my Rune of Dark Elixir on her just yet. I still have a good 7 levels before maxing her out for TH11. I might try to level up my Barbarian Kind a bit. My attack strategies haven’t really involved him as much since I commonly just dump a ton of Electro Dragons once I clear out some of the defenses then Rage/Haste rush towards the Town Hall.
However, both Inferno Towers are done now as is one of my Bomb Towers. From there it was trivial to dump my Gold into my Air Sweepers and my Multi Mortar. Next, I’ll probably circulate between Tesla Coils and remaining Mortars or until I get bored and start upgrading my single target defenses. I still have a lot of traps and, of course, to go so I don’t think I’ll see much of that upgraded until at least these others finish up. I suspect I won’t make an attempt to get into TH12 until at least next month or next season.
My old account is doing well. My Inferno Tower and Air Defense is completing today while I’m making the rounds on a variety of other defenses. I’m also, trying to finish up the basic season achievements. One thing I might try is the Goblin Knife attack to build up my seasonal bank before the season ends. None of my current upgrades are horrendously expensive so I probably can get a ton done before I receive my seasonal bank, the only exception being the walls. However, I’m considering skipping wall upgrades and just using my seasonal bank to go straight to TH11 since I’ll be getting a Grand Warden and require a ton of Elixir.
My only concern is getting my Heroes ready for TH11 on that account. They’re not in an awful state but I would like my Archer Queen to be at level 40 by the time I get to TH11. My troops are in a pretty good state and I almost have all my Elixir spells maxed out. So my real dilemma is Dark Elixir and time.
Also, I’m doing a bit of small upgrades to my Builder Base there. One not so small upgrade was getting a level 9 builder base started. I still need to upgrade the Multi-Mortar and Archer Tower so I can do the Master Builder stuff in my main base. But at least right now I’m clear on those aspects. Then it’s a matter of the long painful Cannon Cart and Battle Machine upgrades. I am not looking forward to those. But I might just turtle except for doing the daily season achievements.
Beyond that I’ve been trying other attack strategies. I tried using the Golem-Witches-Bowler attack. I seemed to have better success with that than Dragons at the moment. Dragons are sucking big time. They just get annihilated by air defenses and never attack the right thing. I think Rage and Haste are better off for Electro Dragons because they can mass destroy buildings whereas normal Dragons don’t give a shit even when someone is attacking them. I might switch the spells to Lightning and Earthquake in that case.
I wanted to try LavaLoons but every video I’ve watched incorporated the Queen Archer and some siege machine. It drives me nuts that I don’t have access to a Siege Machine. That alone might be worth pushing fast into TH12. But until then I’m just going to use the Golem-Witches-Bowlers attack since there’s a seasonal achievement attached to that as well.
One thing that I mess up on though is forgetting to use the Power Potion for my GoWiBo army. I keep forgetting it’s available but I think that should help given that my army doesn’t have the max levels for the Laboratory at the moment and won’t for a while. Same thing with the Hero power although most of my Heroes are tied up being upgraded. Sucks you can’t use them while that’s going on. I think they should just upgrade the little pedestal thing they stand upon while you can still use them.
