      Setting up the Perfect Solo Trap Account

      We’ve reached out to some of the best players we know and accumulated the following information on how to build the best trap account on a budget of only $200. At this point in the game, it’s nearly impossible to stay within this budget, but a low cost trap is still a feasible option. To maintain this trap it could cost up to one pack a week depending on how fast you need to rebuild.

      This article was updated for accuracy on 11-25-15.

      The success of many Game of War players has lately been attributed to trap accounts. We have connections with many of the top players and many have created new trap accounts in the last couple months in addition to their billion power accounts. We even know some spenders who get happy when they are zeroed because now they can make a trap account. HA!

      Trap accounts with millions of T1 are pretty much impossible to rally even if the attack has good gear. Everyone is afraid to lose millions of points in a kvk by hitting a wall of T1.  Although, this is a costly tactic and takes a lot of speed ups to retrain just one hit. What if you want to be a trap account that doesn’t require you to spend a lot of money and still have fun playing the game?

      New players or veteran players can just as easily use this tactic.  I recommend using a Stronghold 21 and hero level 55 for this type of trap account.

      Step 1: Upgrade Buildings

      Start out with a Stronghold 21 or build up one to level 21.  This can be done on one Gold pack or you might have a level 21 farm.  Whatever the account, don’t worry about building up all the farms, just focus on the buildings mention below.

      Level these buildings to 21:

      200 trap buildings update

      Step 2: Research (nothing strategic)research_restorative_bottom_left

      Research up through T4 Troops. This is pretty much a must now to survive with March increases and the cores available.

      Research all traps to T3 and Trap Attack to level 9. Trap Defense level will be determined by the style of trap you choose.

      Warning: Do not research any strategic troops or traps, otherwise your power will be too high.

      Optional: Research to level 5 in the crafting tab without gaining a ton of power and have at minimum level 5 Cores. Level 5 Cores with 4-Pieces only adds 738K Power. It’s a good safety net to have.

      Step 3: Train Troops

      blog-globalkill-banner

      Build a couple Barracks (2 or 3) up to level 15 and Villas (15-16) up to level 10 to speed up your Troop Training.  Don’t max them out, we will be destroying them shortly.

      Train 2.4M T4 equally among all types

      Train 27M T2 equally among all types

      Build full T3 Wall Traps mixed regular

      Step 4: Re-format Your Buildings

      After training the Troops you need, set up your buildings with the following:

      [table]
      Building, Level, Quantity
      Watch Tower, 21, 1
      Forge, 21, 1
      Academy, 21, 1
      Prison, 21, 1
      Barracks, 21, 1
      Hospitals, 21, 20
      [/table]

      The Academy is optional, but can be expensive to rebuild if things change and more Research is required. A Market Place is also optional if you intend to send Resources to other members within your Alliance. A level 1 Hall of War is sometimes nice to have to get the attention of an entire Alliance very quickly.

      With 20 Hospitals in total, you will have 20 x 40,000 = 800K Troop coverage.

      The total power on your account will range between 315 – 325 Million depending on how much research you do. Spenders will solo these all day long. You can adjust your Troop count and gear (better gear reduces the required troop count) to achieve the desired power level.

      Have tons of Resources in your Stronghold of each type, 400M of each will work.  You’re going to need it and it will also entice enemies to hit you with solo marches.  So here is how this works.

      Step 5: Gear Up & Embed Gems

      The best Gear set-up available to Solo Traps:

      Helm: Shogun's or Kunoichi
      Armor: Colossus
      Feet: Haunted Kunoichi
      Weapon: Shogun's or Haunted Kunoichi
      Accesories: Phoenix Chaos or Colossus Vambrace
      Gems: Rose, Hallows, Health/Defense/Minotaur

      [the_ad id=”18721″]

      Step 6: Check Your Boosts

      These are the target boosts for any Solo Trap.

      Troop Type Attacks: 275%+
      Troop Attack: 450%
      Troop Health & Defense: 900%

      Debuffs aren’t overly important on defense, but they also don’t hurt to have.

      Pro Tip: Troops in your hospital are not counted in your total power

      Pro Tip: Use two devices.  One so you can watch when they are sending and the other is the one you are actually fighting on.

      Recommendations On Additional Strategy by T1ny Tim

      1) If you demo the academy and replace it with another hospital, you can have more troops. You can also build it back up if you decide you want to become a larger trap with T4 later on, or some other research that’s epic for traps comes out that you may want. But for the purpose of KvK your academy does nothing.

      2) Do you need a marketplace? Could have another hospital yet again, which again means more troops. With my trap account I didn’t have a marketplace, and if I wanted to give someone Resources that’s what my farms were for.

      3) Also the embassy isn’t utilized at all in the above plan, and it can’t. Because just like with the traps, when they first hit they will hit straight traps and T4s. People normally fill you up with T4s because they get points and don’t lose them because your T1/3s take the hit. So again you could replace it with another hospital.

      4) At this point if you were to make the above 3 changes you are removing power that doesn’t help you in KvK and adding power that does, which means more kills and more points, as you can go up to 900k troops as you have 880k beds +20k. This would add ~2M more power (+3M from troops -1M because hospitals give less power then the buildings they replace).

          Yea this article is in queue to be updated, but it won’t be for another couple weeks. However, I doubt our trap specialist will say it’s possible to build a $200 trap anymore.

        This article is actually a crock of you know what, a real bag of mm mmmm. $200 from start to finish? Like really? No, seriously? Are you kidding me? I was already there from before I read this article, paid and so on, did have much to do, and still have much more according to this article, and I’m just paid for a 4th pack, hugely rich in speedups, and this is $400 already, not $200. At first I was skeptic because it says train t4’s when it says academy lv21 is not necessary, but I though overall it looks, but serously, you will end with something that is medeocre to possible good strong, but you’ve spent way more for what this article is telling you to do. This idiot has been hired by MZ and told what to write type and think. Talk to the good and experienced players that worked hard from the ground up, they’they’re your best teachers on how to build a reasonably priced trap, and even they will say this article is a crock, many have read it and have commented on it by saying SAY WHAT????

        This article is off as in order to train t4s, you need a lv21 academy, and in order to get that, you need a War Hall, Prison, and Altar.

        I was running a 350m t4 trap account till a week ago. Was using about 7m t4 unbalanced and a very thin sliver of about 250k t3 of one type.
        The goal was to have multi billion whales donate their level 60 heroes lol! Was very successful and had players upto 20b drop into my prison with 600k marches during ke, coliseum etc. Had about 65m kills with kdr above 6 before I abandoned it.
        Hero was level 56 and was using a mix of shogun helm, barricade, Tabi boots, masamune, hoops, kinai and Phoenix blaze. The only weakness it had was a susceptibility to high debuff sets like 4h. Would still win power spreads though due to the t3 sliver.
        Boosts were (overall plus minimum of specific) 650 to 700 attack, 1300 defense, 800 health. Did not pay much attention to debuff. Beds were actually only 600k. The reason for the unbalanced build, I didn’t have one troop type, was to save points for skill tree and to increase like win probability by a third!
        Why did I stop playing it? It’s my first and only account and I have a much of rss and speed and gold left from buying all the packs for gear! Just evolving to the next step now: rally trapping, before becoming a small whale and then quiting lmao!!

        Great stuff as always from Paint I do disagree
        with the second step 5 though ( 😉 ), I don’t like rallying troops (or hero), or sending out to camps and then recalling.. Much simpler to run anti and choose a strategy in my opinion, but to each his own 😛

              It means for every 10 T2 he has 1 T4. So if he has 1,000,000 T2 he also has 100,000 T4.

        Be prepared to lose a lot of rss if the guy knows what he’s doing. A lot of big players have presets for troop load. They could take up to 100M rss with that second hero march.

        Richard Dean: Of your 7 million troops, approximately how many are T1 and T2? Also, did you build a Regular Troop Solo Trap or Strategic Troop Trap?

        Realize troop count is not limited by buildings, however it would be interesting to understand how many hospitals Richard Dean kept? Barracks? Villas?

        Hi. I am a totally free player in K172. I’ve never bought a pack. I am a sort of trap account with 70 million power. Do you know if there are totally free T4 players who’s never bought a pack?

          Hi,
          Yesterday was my last day on gow. I have decided to stop because I had the feeling to lose too much time on this.
          So I will publish my excel sheet in the comments here in a few hours so that you and everyone can download and use it to train their troops. Is it ok?

          I got to T4 on one of my accounts on one $5, one $20, and one $50 pack. Never bought a full price pack on that account. But it wasn’t free. Expect it to take way longer and do a lot more mooching if you don’t ever spend at all.

            I started last March 15 and got t4 on all free play in June 15. Key is to calculate every event for gold and speed return. Likewise you must farm like crazy.

        I get this error a couple of times in the blog… any idea where the table is? Thanks!

        Don’t worry about building up all the farms, just focus on the buildings mentioned below.

        Level these buildings to 21:

        T4 solo trap accounts are very rare. To much increase in power and remember hospitalized t4 are the same points as dead t4. This article gives very specific advice and is very good. I’m a 3 billion player and do not solo traps, but I might fall for this scenario. Nice strategy

        Great post mate. I recently set aside my 1B account in favor of a SH18 trap and it’s an amazing adrenaline rush when people start sending troops at you and they just disappear. Much more fun than sitti around waiting to rally someone in my own opinion. It’s cheap to maintain and you only need a couple good hits during a kvk to get gold. Most of my alliance are trap accounts and we regularly out score the big players.

          Best advice I can give you is only buy the holiday packs. I also know that the more packs you buy the harder some events are.

        1) The main issue is the cost of re-building T3 traps that are destroyed in the first wave attack of (T4 troops + meat shield + strong hero) vs (125k T3 traps, 20k T3 troop and no hero). Getting to maximum T3 trap salvaging research adds a lot of power, and is nowhere near as effective at salvaging traps as hospitals are at healing troops. Ultimately, with the setup described, you want this city to look as inviting as possible to hit. 125k T3 traps gets no points for attacker, and increases their losses. You may scare away a potential attacker by including 125k T3 traps. And the cost of rebuilding them between each new attacker would be prohibitive. I think you would find that in real life, this strategy would be played without traps. #thisisreal???

        2) Level 50 hero does not come quickly with $100. You can buy lots of $5 hero boost packs early in your build, but that means less available $ to get the res / speeds you need to do the actual build. Getting to hero level 50 (which is recommended in this article) is not necessary for what is described. The goal appears to be to have them throw solo T4 marches at you without hero. A level 45-49 hero with the number of T3 troops proposed should deal with a T4 march without hero. Gem up some Icarus wings or chalices to make your level 45-49 hero appear weaker than it really is. Again, the idea is to make yourself appear as weak as possible, so making your level 45-49 hero appear to be right side equipped with Icarus wings or chalices makes you appear an easier target than does a level 50 hero ready to be dropped from fake rally.

        3) Most bigs these days are awash in resources, so much less likely to hit a bank for resources. What you are really aiming at here is the 100M-500M newer T4 player who is trying to get as much of every resource available to play with the 1B plus players, but aren’t willing to spend multiple packs to get all the res.

        4) Because of the excess of resources floating around with bigs, they are just as likely to scout it, see 20k T3, and think that it equates to ONLY 400k KE points by hospitalising the T3s, with the risk of losing troops (and points) due to 125k T3 traps, and almost dismiss the res and move on, or pass the info to another alliance member who needs res. So, just as likely that you will get hit by a ‘sloppy seconds’ T1-3 player, and not your preferred T4 player with no brain, who is willing to send multiple waves of T4 without hero during a Kill Event.

        5) Minor point. This strategy would probably work even better when you are burning. Psychologically, you already look weaker to a potential attacker when you are burning, so the idea of shielding until you stop burning may be counterproductive. For this to work, you want to appear as weak as possible, for your attacker to be as comfortable as possible, and nothing says weak as definitively as flames coming out of your stronghold. As such, don’t shield until you have stopped burning, shield until your setup is ready again, whether or not that involves rebuilding traps……

          I have to agree with this, especially the last minor point which I don’t think is that minor. My account for example is 500m and I have a tough time getting people to solo me unless I go to a small hive and light everything around me on fire. Players will typically check your gear so if you have on Xena Defense Armor (even 22B players use it) they know you are trying to bait them. If you can hold some heroes that are sh15 and under, players will a lot of time see you as a target and hit you sight unseen. Without those two things, most players know what I’m up to (or assume it) and move on.

          For building traps, just max it out with iron bricks and save the RSS. T3 traps are expensive and not worth it for what you are trying to accomplish.

        Good news is you can still use this strategy and you will have higher combat research, but if you use T4, no one is going to hit 800k t4 with a single march. They most likely try to rally you and zero you in one hit or something. Try it out and see what happens. Also, t4 are FAR more costly to train and heal. If you have the money it might be better for you to try and build a rally trap instead.

        I made it to sh21, 110mil power, and 4mil troops (half t1) with $140. it’s not hard, just wait for a good pack like the black Friday, cyber Monday, new years, valentines day, or St. Patricks day pack. Easter pack should be good too.
        Also, this strategy seems hard to pull off Chad. Instant-healing t3 takes a good chunk of gold. Personally, I like to have a large number of t1 (2-5 mil) and then work on t3. Reason being that t1 heal instantly by default if you have the rss, and half the time the t1 alone can swallow a full t4 march 😉

        Essay incoming…Sorry! Haha

        1) If you demo the academy and replace it with another hospital, you can have more troops. You can also build it back up if you decide you want to become a larger trap with T4 for example later on, or some other research that’s epic for traps comes out that you may want. But for the purpose of KvK your academy does nothing.

        2) Do you need a marketplace? Could have another hospital yet again, which again means more troops. With my trap account I didn’t have a marketplace, and if I wanted to give someone rss that’s what my farms were for.

        3) Also the embassy isn’t utilised at all in the above plan, and it can’t. Because just like with the traps, when they first hit they will hit straight traps and T4’s. People normally fill you up with T4’s because they get points and don’t lose them because your T1/3’s take the hit. So again you could replace it with another hospital.

        4) At this point if you were to make the above 3 changes you are removing power that doesn’t help you in KvK and adding power that does, which means more kills and more points, as you can go up to 900k troops as you have 880k beds +20k. This would add ~2M more power (+3M from troops -1M because hospitals give less power then the buildings they replace).

          That’s good to know, I hadn’t actually realised. If I want rss I normally just attack my farm. But I also only have a level 1 watchtower, as I only care if I’m getting attacked. So I could easily swap that out for a marketplace if need be…

        My trap takes full hits and lose nothing. At this point everyone rallies on hits if they have any thoughts of a trap. Gearing up, reinforcing and antiscout and I have taken those rallies. The $100.00 will make you a minor trap, but a monster can be below 70 million but takes more than $100 unless your talking 2017.

        Something is wrong, there is no point making trap if we do what is suggested or else you have to spend a lot of speed up rebuilding it counting the number of time that account get hit with the hero rallied

          and there is no point to keep the academy if your research are done, even if you plan to get to t4 later, the spot can be used by an hospital until you reach the speed up and gold needed for it, no ?

        This tactic was pioneered by a guy in 84 – and you have described it wrong. What use are traps when your hero is rallied? They get destroyed. And defensive gear is pointless because your hospitals cover all troops.
