      Cheating The Nerf Perfectly

      This reason this post is being updated is because there was a newly discovered truth about the Nerf. My previous articles on the Nerf (now removed and replaced with this one) were left open ended because it was hard to determine the true effects. It seemed that some players were still able to use the Nerf effectively, and others were not. Now, thanks to feedback from many different players, there are more insights than ever before on how to cheat the Nerf.

      If you don’t know the basics, see “What is the Nerf, and Why is it Important?”

      This post was updated for accuracy and new information on 1-6-16.

      Sharable List of Rules That Are Further Explained Below

      1. The T2 : T4 Nerf limit is 12.5 : 1
      2. The Nerfed power ratio between T3 : T1 is anything below .14
      3. You cannot train more than 5mil T2 if you do not have T3 troops unlocked. If you do you have T3 unlocked, but not T4 unlocked, the ratio of T2 : T3 might be 4 : 1.
      4. Without a single T3/T4 troop, you can have a maximum of 14,999,999 Tier 1 troops, and 4,999,999 Tier 2 troops. Traps will affect the nerf here.
      5. The first time the T1 nerf change happens is at 15,000,000 T3 Troops, adding this will allow you to have 24,999,999 T1 troops without nerf.
      6. If you only have T2/T3 troops, you can have a ratio of 6.9 T2 troops for every 1 T3 troop. For example: 69m t2 : 10m T3 troops.
      7. If you have only T2 and T3/T4, you can have each nerf ratio added together, 12.525 T2 for every 1 T4 and 6.99 T2 for every T3.
      8. If you only have T2 and T4 troops, you can have a ratio of 12.525 T2 troops for every 1 T4 troop. For example, 12.5m T2 troops for 1m T4 troops.

      There’s proof below, and some more strategy and speculation regarding other Nerf guidelines.

      [the_ad id=”18771″]

      Nerfs Are Ratios

      The Nerf is a ratio of one tier of Troop to another OR a ratio of power between two tiers.

      For example, the T2:T4 Nerf limit ratio is absolutely, positively 12.5 : 1. If you stay below 12.5 T2 for every T4 you have, your Troops will not be weakened, no matter how many you train.

      This truth has been tested up to 960m T2 in BETA. Thank you BETA for saving us tons of money.

      Nerf Proof

      [the_ad id=”14625″]

      You can see that despite the ridiculous amount of Troops trained, the Nerf still didn’t take effect. The same person who built this account also tested 120m T2 in Live and was successful by keeping the ratio below 12.5.

      When a ratio of 12.8 was tested, the Troops were Nerfed.

      The T1 : T3 ratio is a bit more complicated.

      T1 Nerf Ratios

      The T1 Nerf ratios vary based on how many upper tier troops you have, otherwise Stayalive77 would burn easily because of the massive number of low tier Troops he has.

      Therefore pay attention to the Power Ratios in the chart below which reveals some of the tests PaintLicker has done with T3 and T1 troops.

      T3 T1 Nerf? T3 Power T1 Power Power Ratio
      0 14,999,999 No 0 29,999,998
      0 15,000,000 Yes 0 30,000,000
      10,000,000 20,878,938 Yes 240,000,000 41,757,876 0.17
      10,000,000 23,999,344 Yes 240,000,000 47,998,688 0.20
      10,000,000 29,999,997 Yes 240,000,000 59,999,994 0.25
      15,000,000 20,000,000 No 360,000,000 40,000,000 0.11
      15,000,000 24,999,999 No 360,000,000 49,999,998 0.14
      15,000,000 25,000,000 No 360,000,000 50,000,000 0.14
      15,000,000 25,999,999 No 360,000,000 51,999,998 0.14
      15,000,000 26,999,999 Yes 360,000,000 53,999,998 0.15
      15,000,000 27,000,000 Yes 360,000,000 54,000,000 0.15
      15,000,000 29,999,999 Yes 360,000,000 59,999,998 0.17

      The power ratio between T3 and T1 troops needs to be <.14 in order to cheat the nerf.

      T2 Without T4 Limit

      Another quick rule about T2 troops is don’t go above 5mil T2 unless you have T4 backing them, otherwise you’ll be nerfed.

      For example, in the screenshots below, the defender is SH 14 and hasn’t unlocked T3 troops yet.

      Nerf Proof 1
      The defender has over 5 mil T2 (40k hospitalized, 138k killed)
      Nerf Proof 2
      The defender has under 5 mil T2 (33k killed)

      Update: We got notified via response to our newsletter that someone has been running a T2/T3 trap build, with way more than 5mil T2, not T4 researched and hasn’t been getting nerfed. We are inquiring for more information to keep this updated. Screenshots below:

      T2 not nerfed without t4 #1T2 not nerfed without t4 #2T2 not nerfed without t4 #3T2 not nerfed without t4 #4

      [the_ad id=”14625″]

      “These were back to back hits with both accounts having exact same gear. Attacker had cores and I had regular gear.  This is when I first figured out about the t2 nerf lifted. Since then I have changed the configuration a lot and have tried many different combos, but don’t have the screenshots except this one.”

      T2 not nerfed without t4 #5T2 not nerfed without t4 #6

      “Obviously my account is much bigger here, but still I have over 200mil t2 with around 60mil t3.  That was Odin core March that hit me.

      I think the Nerf ratio for T2/T3 without having T4 researched is somewhere around 4:1.”

      T3 Misconception

      There is a common misconception that if you do not research T3 troops than your T1 and T2 will not be Nerfed. The reality is that that misconception goes against the whole premise of the nerf. Big guys with deep pockets were really upset 100-200m SH14s (this was a long time ago) were eating their rallies all day and they couldn’t do anything about it. The whole point was to nerf SH14 traps that hadn’t unlocked T3 on purpose.

      I’d love to see someone prove this wrong in the comments though.

      More Tiers Change The Ratio

      I don’t have much information on how this works, but it’s worth noting having T3 troops mixed in with a ratio of T4/T2 troops, will change the ratio.

      The Expert Trappers Say T1 Are Useless Now

      The people that tested the ratio I know said not to bother with T1 at all. Basically the return on the investment for T1 is so bad, you shouldn’t even bother with them.

      At the same time, a good friend of mine scored over 1B points with 4 different Rally tanks and only loses T1 and T2. His setup is:

      T1: 21m-24m (mixed), T2: 24m-30m (mixed), T3: 21m (mixed)

      With that setup and good reg attack gear he eats most 3m rallies and only loses T1. Regular gear requirements are 850 attack, 1,400 defense, and 850 health. The more you can get over those numbers the better.

      Read here for more rally trap setups, and more details on the one just described above.

      Conclusion

      The Nerf is definitely a tricky limitation set by Game of War. If you have more information and proof, please comment below.

        I got sick of new items rolling out every hour. So I created a second account which I keep the stronghold at level 9 to avoid having my hero captured. With the recent Athena gifts I have research upto and including spectral Troops. But due to my sh9, I can only train t2. Except it allows me to train tier 3 and 4 strategic and wild siege. I think I’m being Nerfed. Did MZ do this just to Nerf,and thus discourage, people like me who stopped spending.

          Yes, any troop or trap with less than 10 power works against you. Your average troop and trap power must remain 10 or above.

          Most players are using T4 as meat with some t5/t6. You can not suffer nerf penalty if you only train troops with power of at least 10. So, T3+ can never penalize you.

          T6 are insanely expensive. T5 aren’t much better. Costs drop considerably once you drop to T4. However, something to keep in mind are the additional tier bonuses you gain from research. Each tier is stronger without any boosts but also each tier gains additional stats more than the previous tier so its in your best interest to maintain the highest troop tier you can while having a high enough troop count.

          As far as troop count goes, it depends on your setup. However, I’d keep adding T4 until you stop burning badly. You need legion defense above all. Legion defense can only be debuffed by Legion Defense Debuff. GoW doesn’t have a lot of Legion Defense at the moment, but fortunately, it also has low amount Legion Defense Debuff.

          So, stack your T4, stack your Legion Defense and you can use Kunai to save your defense but the amount of troop defense debuff in GoW makes using old Defense stats very difficult.

          Anyone else have an opinion that can help out Damtra?

        I am a trapper on game of war. I’m looking for a possible troop ratio for t4-t5 troops to keep from burning. I dont burn as I run a 2: t2-t4 trap. But members in my alliance run t4-t5 troops and are burning.

          The nerf limitations have not changed. The penalty still applies for troops less than 10 power. However, new ratio will need to be determined for T6 power. In other words, how many T1 or T2 can be trained per each T6 trained?

        I am looking for Divine Obsidian and Opalite Glass to upgrade certain building to the last lvl. I look thru certain websites but don’t understand how to make or find them. This’s the firm I play this type of WAR game. Could anyone use easy ENGLISH and explain how to obtain / find these materials from the game?

        Besides, I notice this site said I can gain cash from buying from your sponsor. Does it include UNIQNO, which is currently advertising in your site?

        Thanks a lot!

          Six to 1 ratio is safe. To be absolutely sure take your Troop Power + Trap Power and divide by Troops + Trap = if this average is 10 or above you are safe. Just keep an average troop and trap power of 10 or above and you will be ok :).

        Hi , what if I have T3/T4 at 7:1 ratio but now have T5 . Are the T3 worthless now so basically promoting all to T4 & T5 ?

          Only troops with less than 10 power count against you for nerf penalty. As long as you have average troop power of 10 or more you are safe. So, Add your Troop Power and your Trap Power then divide by your total troops and traps. If this number is less than 10 you are in trouble. If 10 or more you are safe. If you have no T2 or T1 you are safe. T3, T4, T5 all over 10 power.

          ([Troop Power + Trap Power] / [Troop Count + Trap Count]) if less than 10 your troops will suffer a stat penalty, or nerf.

          I agree. T1 is definitely not useless. I call them “kindling troops”. I use them to ensure my trap burns and to reduce my points given up margin by protecting T2 which are a much higher point value. Thank you for the comment Donnie.

          The nerf rule is as follows:

          Average Troop + Trap power must be greater than 10.

          So, add your troop and trap power and divide by troop and trap count. If that number is greater than 10 you are safe.

        “Nerf takes effect when your troop count x 10 is greater than your troop power. It can happen long before 1 billion total troops. So long as your total troop + total traps X 10 is greater than Total Troop power + total Trap power you are fine. Take a look at your total troops. Now put a zero on the end. Now look at your troop power under your profile. If your troop power is significantly greater than the number of troops with a zero added you are fine. If its close then you need to add in your traps as well. You can use our Beta site Nerf Calculator if you want further assistance.”-Darkthorne

          Probably the player used T2 Siege to cheat the nerf. Troop count x 10 must be greater than your troop power total. So, any troop over 10 power will help you against nerf. Siege T2 is 16 power. Therefore, it is possible to train simply all T2/T1 and not suffer a nerf.

        I have a sh16 that I just built to over 7 bil. I followed the typical 6.9:1 t2/t3 ratio and had t1 wall traps. This is the first rally the account had. With a hit this hard (Ares), I’m assuming it was nerfed. I found this article after the fact and will follow the 4:1 ratio along with having t2 wall traps.

          That’s not a nerf hit, you would have lost a lot more if so. Its just you have a relatively small amount of weak troops against a big rally with good cores. There’s a SH16 in my alliance who can take pos rallies but he has 1.8bil troops…

          Every nerf article I have read never mentions t3-t4 ratio. Why is that? I have an under 6:1 ratio of t3s to t4s and I must be getting nerfed because I am getting demolished whereas other in my alliance with only t2s and t4s are winning with pretty much the same gear and same power. I’m beginning to think you shouldn’t even bother training t3s.

          I have been burned with ranged missile. I lost 33m t3 in one attack. I was not expected this result. One of my alliance member (D) explained that there is no nerf ration between t3 and t4. But t4 is still important. At least 40m t4 required for t3 trap. I have to try this in next kvk.

        So when you add the 12.5 to 1 ratio for t4 to t2 and the 6.99 to 1 ratio for t3 to t2 when you run t2 3 and 4. Is it 19.4 to 1 t3 and t4 for example.

        1 t4 + 1 t3 = you can have 19.4 t2 , or can you do more t3 than t4 and still not get needed for example

        1 t4 + 3 t3 = 30.48 or something t2.
        12.5 + 6.99

Best part is they didn’t even come up with t2/4 traps Two of the trappers who provided “info” ran a t1 solo trap and the other a straight t4 with t3 wall traps…the Fvckin irony, amazes me that either of them can talk about anything to do with the subject unless it was info tested and perfected by OTHER TRAPPERS.

        FROM DV: (Stayalives allaince) Via Lady Nate Over the past few months, the game has changed drastically. While previously, new researches have been manageable, and new gear sets attainable, as both their cost and the time between releases were not overwhelming for most moderate spenders. During the past boycott, in multiple correspondence initiated by some of the larger well known spenders in the gow community, you stated that you will typically release large new researches with several months of separation between them. Why then have you released insanely high cost research and new gear sets, only to release further high cost research mere weeks later. In order to be relevant at this time in the game, someone will have had to spend over $5k in the past month for research alone. This research is in addition to insanely high priced new plots of land, and now new building levels which will also be extraordinarily expensive. Your new march research, allows for greater troop loss for those who have already spent to complete the research, requiring further spending to replace the greater troop loss. The alliance city, which has for so long been obsolete and useless, is already accelerating to a point where it is clear that it too will soon require massive upgrades and spending to maintain relevance. With the new release of the bazaar, in accordance with lag, kicking, as well as many other glitches that have so far gone unresolved, and in many cases gotten worse, shows us that you are motivated solely by greed and care nothing for user satisfaction. We ask that you slow the release of new researches and allow players to catch up, stop the inequality of resources in packs that require multiple purchases of different packs, just to maintain balance and the ability for growth, and for clarification on the new features you plan to release. Additionally, revise the inferno system, so that they are actually worth finishing, either by separating troop/research infernos or some comparable method, as currently only those buying 5 or more packs for troops, or completing multiple high tier researches can complete. Until such time as these and any additional demands that may rise through the dissemination of this player movement..we will cease to buy, and we will spread this movement not only within the game, but amongst all major social media networks as well.

        All troops even mix
        60 million T2
        33 million T3 & 3 million ST3
        6 million T4
        No ST4 or wild. Would this be nerfed? I was thinking about getting my T2 count up to 80-100 million. Would this screw me and what would I need to do, if anything, if I decided to take my T2 total up to 100 milliont? Or would training more T3 and T4 be better instead?

        The first sentence here needs to have a “m” after 1 to make the math correct in second sentence. If following from the first line, it would be 69m T2: 10 T3 troops, not 10m. Just a heads up (:

        Decent article but completely uneducated communication, leading to confusion. In one place: says t3:t1 must be “greater” than 0.14. which means the number of t3 divided by number of t1 is greater than .14
        In a different spot, it says “less” than .14. which way is it really?? It can’t be both and the article lacks credibility if statements are contradictory.

        If you get your English teacher to help you, this article could become so helpful and have credibility.

        Hi Chad
        In the t2/t4 scenario done in beta in the article, do you know what gear they were in when he took the hit, and what gear the attacker was using. This would be very useful to know rather than just the battle result. Gear would have a huge impact on the amount of losses as clearly demonstrated from the two screenshots.

        Keep up the great work

        Hi. With the last update on the nerf issue. I would like to have some advise on my trap. I have unlocked t3 but not t4. Currently consisting of 14.9mil t1, 4.9mil t2 and 3mil t3. Would this be nerfed? Thanks.

        “I don’t have much information on how this works, but it’s worth noting having T3 troops mixed in with a ratio of T4/T2 troops, will change the ratio.”

        This would be incredibly useful information to have. Just sayin’. 🙂

        I have been running a sh 14 trap account for the past 2 kvk, already have 3 m kills (all t4 marches ) and minimal actual losses from those hits. What I learned matches up exactly to what is posted above. I have it set up with 5m t2 (mixed) and 15 m t1 ( mixed) and full wall of war bricks. What I learned along the way to add to the post above is the troop numbers INCLUDE traps. If you have 5 m t2 troops and full wall of the 2 traps you are over the nerf limit.

        I have been trapping using t1 and t2. I have stayed below what I thought was the nerf limits for both troop types. I am interested to get any thoughts on why it appears my t1 meats are being bypassed and t2 taking a higher loss percentage. The attacker was hero lvl 60 in colossus. I was in haunted Kunoichi. I have seen the same results with other attacks, and different troop compositions.

          The reason you are losing t2 is because you have t2 traps. For the purpose of the nerf they count as troops. Drop all traps and use full war bricks, or add those into your totals 5 m t2 15 m t1 troops+traps combined

        Does the 15mill T1 nerf affect your entire T1 count? Or just the T1s that are over 15mill. Let’s say I have 16m T1s… do all of them get nerfed or just 1mill?

        I have a level 14 sh with about 12 million kills- I have taken a few rallies and have done very well- I have a total of 28 million troops with most being tier one. I find that people are not really willing to hit, unless you find a newer person no that just looks at the level of your strong hold, and keeps hitting because they haven’t gotten your hero, and they don’t look at the report.

        Its clear that at SH14, the nerf limit is 5mill t2. But how many T1 can you have? Heard a lot of different numbers thrown around, but no actual screenshots with evidence.
        Also, at SH21, can you have more than 5 mill t2? Does the nerf increase along with SH level?

        Hello all,

        I’m glad I stumbled upon this. Very helpful information on here. I also have a sh14 account it’s currently at 300mill power. At around 156mill Power I took a hit from a buddy of mine he’s a 2.4bill player he hit me with reg fighting gear and I think the nerf affected me. I ate his whole March of t4s and I lost 2.7mill t2. Also I used level 3 cores with level 6 pieces (although I’m not very good core crafter so I’m sure I could have crafted much better ones) but I was dying to see how I did against an attack. Also unfortunatly I forgot to gem the cores up. Just thought I share. Thanks for all the good info cheers,

        These responses are just confusing. You’re all throwing numbers of the nerf limit to one another but no one actually knows or has proved it with evidence.

        The reason there is so much speculation about it is because there is probably only a hand full of players in the game that have the troop mix to be able to thoroughly test it out.

        I’m still not entirely certain but I think that there isn’t a specific limit. I think that low troop tiers might have a systematic relationship with higher tier ones. your evidence clearly shows that 5m t2 is the limit, but for me that was not the case.

        Hello all,
        Glad to see this is still helping people, as cores evolved increasing attack I have slowly grown to a 250m power solo tank, I still take lots of hit from mostly core players and take minimal losses, I am at 35m kills on the turtle almost all T4 kills….As you grow in size hospitals become essential, at SH14 I still think all villas and barracks are the key to quick rebuilds. I am still at about 40-45$ on this acc. It is possible, don’t even have Gift ability, farms really help. I still work a 1b acc but the turtle acc. is much more fun.

        I built a sh14 trap based on this article and a few others. It cost me $0 with some RSS help from my alliance. I have 4.5m reg t2 evenly mixed and all purple economy gear with hero level 48. I gemmed my gear for mostly attack and health and my hero skills are the same. My power is at 45m at the start of a kvk. I eat 375k solo marches of t4 when they’re dumb enough not to send their hero. T3 marches are not even a worry hero or not. I have 3 hospitals to minimize recovery time during battle and 11 barracks with 9 villas. Troop training is about 10k t2 per 24hr. I can take hits from up to 500m players with their hero in samarai gear and loose about 200k t2 while they loose about 200k t4. I got 2nd place in a 4 way kvk on my first run of this account from taking 3 hits. These accounts are not obsolete even with the new hero levels and defense research. You just have to play smart.

        I use over 5m t1/t2 most times. I take rallies for ke. I focus on one troop type. Switch it up between some ke’. But ill also have 5m+t3 and 2-3m t4.

        Most losses ive taken, when ready for hit. 3m t1 tops. Now i would take a rally from an opposing troop type or same type as what I have. Swallowed many rallies. Even of the same troop type. Attackers fully cored, max rs.

        Recently took a rally from Cav troops while i was Ranged. Wanted to see what happened. Guy was fully cored. 6b player. I was ready. Lost 4-5m t1. Killed about 600k t4. I burned, but I won on points easy.

        Im currently testing the boundries of the nerf. Totally changed build but wanna see what the breaking point is. But so far I think if you even spread troop types and not focusing on just one(t1). Nerf wont come into effect so harshly.

        We’ll see what happens ay haha

          I have always been taught to boost health and defense on the Tree. once maxed aim for attack boost. make sure you don’t look to suspicious on gear. don’t have full samurai on a 45 mil account that is a giveaway. use gems also to debuff there defense and attack. remember since they have t4 there boosts has a greater affect because it is boosting a stronger troop. ex 25% of 38 power (war elephant) is greater then t1 power at like 8. is this make sense ?

        Okay, read through the whole thread – lots of great information there – and am curious if you all have any new information. Especially geared toward SH18. Would you recommend no hospitals even at SH18? Would you also recommend keeping the same amount of troops at 4.75/4.75 T1/T2 or T3 etc…

        How did you like SH18 as a trap or did you move up toward SH21?

        I am trying to figure out what the best set up will be for me personally, and I’m leaning toward no hospitals, which goes against the grain, and there just isn’t a lot of information about that other than what I’ve seen here. Also curious as to what buildings were kept vs what buildings were removed for barracks and villas.

        Hope you can help.

          A comment from another reader 😀

          “I’m a sh14 with 9.6m troops – evenly between T1 & T2 and reg and strat. Last KVK I took a full march of T4 from a 7 billion player with yellow cores. I killed 140k T4 and lost 1.5 million T1 meats. It gave me 14m points while giving away 1.5m points. Later I took 4 full marches of T3 from a 600 million player. I killed 780k T3 and lost about a million T1 meats. I finished 1st in the kingdom event.

          I was a little surprised at my losses, but my hero is only 48 and I don’t have the best hero gear.

          I was maxed out to 256k hospital beds and had nowhere near enough to cover my losses. Training replacements with just 1 barracks was a nightmare. I replaced ALL the hospitals with barracks and villas.”

        I’m working a SH21 trap and need clarification regarding trap walls. T/F trap walls receive boosts from gems which provide across the board troop boosts, health and defense? T/F In addition to trap attack, trap walls receive troop defense and health boosts from the hero skills tree.

        Say an attack has a power of 100%. If you have 100k troops, 100k traps, the attack power is split 50/50 between troops/traps. If you have 400k troops, 100k traps, the attack power is split 80/20 between troops and traps. Likewise, zero traps mean 100% attack absorbed by troops. Is this correct?

        About be nerfed is true , 5 mill each type is max , but in my case I never worry of that because I used do jumpers. If you planned get sh18 or sh 21 in one day is nonsense be worry about nerf because they are going to be meat really quick and account like that could be really funny for coliseum events ( all sh14 are desesperated with a 25 mill sh5 jumper, I changed for a T4 account because the nerf ).

        Actually I have a small one ( 13 mill power, about 6.5 mill troops , nerf intentionatelly ) because I want to test something in a KvK to check if after loss 1.5 mill , nef dissapear or not. So if someone has checked that … Please tell me that you can save 1.5 mill T1 lives

        Ron,
        I plan to stay SH18 for a while, I was able to finish all construction, my food is 4m per hour, with the use of upkeep and lvl 6 gear, I have made lots of troops before going negative food. I went to 8 barracks and more villas, If a player has lots of 3 days they might want to set their village up to use 3 days to make T3 troops. I did all research working on cores lvl 5 now, 100 days left on that ><. Next step will be to see if getting to presets is a possibility. So far the events have been a slow drain on gold, where at SH 14 it is fairly easy to make gold. Also getting 1st place in KVK has become harder, I did get 1st in the last KE in this new bracket. The added research (Def and Health and full T3 traps) by going to Sh18 should help offset the new cores, time will tell. I avoided large players with full cores burning this last KE.
        Tash,
        that is the best part of being a low lvl tank, you can always find someone that will hit you over and over, that is the good part of having plenty of T1, so you "lose/burn" every time you get hit, and they keep coming, until they realize that they are in fact losings big time.
        I may never go 21, since the events are basically unachievable unless you are a spender, but a lvl 6 core using tank with presets sounds pretty fun, but only if I hit the lotto.

        Well after the last 2 KVK KEs I think I am done with lvl 14SH traps. MZ has made them obsolete, the addition of cores like the Horseman have made it impossible to successfully be a small trap. I have been hit 4 times averaging 1,500,000-2,000,000 losses per hit. These cores basically erase all of our def. These are solo hits 375k by players using new cores. MZ offset these core the the new def tree, but you must be SH21 to utilize the new tree….Well Played MZ, thanks for once again taking the wind out of my sails. ><

We killed 1.3M outriders, he nearly ate our entire t4 rally. There was definitely no nerf for him. And that was a sh21. Hitting him is actually what got me looking for information about the nerf.

        dont buy a 100 pack for your sh14, i made the mistake and my solo and inferno events are much tougher than my sh14 farm accts that did not buy a pack and rewards are crappier. i been bugging customer support for a month now why is this so and why they are punishing players that buy packs by giving them harder inferno. Mz customer support is crap, they just been bouncing me around giving generic response in 5 emails, never really explaining the discrepancy.

        my sh 14s are on same kingdom, doing same inferno at same time. you either get a crappier rewards or tougher events.

        You should research everything, it does not increase your power too much and you will get lots of gold from easy events. I did all strat. traps, I doubt it makes much of a difference, but may as well make strat traps if you have not already….I also primarily made traps that focus on infantry, you will find that your most common attacker is infantry trying to loot your village.

        Thanks for the taking the time to share, all. I love reading about strengths and weaknesses of different strategies and how they evolve as players adjust.

        The most difficult part in building a strong trap account with only the 4.99 and 19.99 packs is convincing a top alliance not to boot you while you’re building the account. Same goes for building a 1bill account with only one of each pack (gotta have one 99.99 pack in my opinion). Both accounts are doable with an alliance like mine. We have members who wake up to over 600 gifts from time to time. But it would take months and you would appear inactive for long stretches. No way you build either account without a strong jumper account and/or a member of weak alliance, IMO.

        rebuilding troops on solo and inferno events gives great rewards so it would be smart to build as much as possible even if you already took the first 3 prizes keep building till event is over!!! duh, Like he said you have to rebuild to get rewarded, pretty much common sense.

        I have been building a similar set up, but I’ve made a few mistakes. I got impatient!! I got to SH14 and started cranking out t1 troops but my hospitals when leveled just don’t provide the coverage I wanted, so I jumped up to sh17 and now regret it. I did unshield during the last KE and omg I had so much fun. My points were pure gravy. I never gave up a single point – unless I chose to – and made millions. Plus I was totally annoying to people and that, my friends, gave me intense pleasure. It made the game fun and exciting again!!

        To salt. Personally I think if he made it to 1b on 45$ I bet you he farmed a lot but did not fight very much.
        Also I have a similar SH15 trap. But spent very litte about the same. Personally its a more detailed article than I would have made. Mine has no beds but has amassed just under 16m kills. I use 200-300k as meats. Reason being as it shows the losses. So then your average idiot won’t think its a trap as it takes losses. But yes I agree. The solo hits were run of the mill with that many troops… you can be just as effective with lets say.. 2.5m t2?

        Thanks for the comment all, this is how we all learn
        Dretz: 24 hours per batch of T2 and 12 hours forT1
        Yoiticka: Build hospital for the KE then destroying crossed my mind, but I decided against it, why because MZ only gives 1 point per building increase, if they gave 5 points I would consider doing what you do, it is all about that gold. I also did not want to use so many resources and speeds on the constant transitioning. I have made over 250k gold since the KE Saturday rebuilding, and my power is back over 50m were I started.
        Ron: I have nothing to gain by telling you I only spent 45$ and grew an account to approximately 1 Billion. Please consider MZ had events in the past that were much more achievable. For instance GoW ran events for a few weeks that gave (15) 7 days as rewards, so I made adjustments to my villas and barracks and made mostly T3 and T4 I grew 500 million in a short time until they stopped that event. The key is changing with the GoW events to capitalize on the rewards and constantly trading amongst other players for good deals.
        Only reason I spent I have spent $25 on this trap account is because MZ ran a deal on St Patrick’s day that included High Roller, and I had already have a few drinks, so I let my guard down and bought the pack, was worth it, High Roller has been helpful.
        And yes gear will be much better by next KE, hero will be lvl 50 and that opens up all the good gear.
        Collin: I wanted to only do the relevant research but once again it all came down to making gold, so I did it all. All research is only 4.3m power since MZ took away the March tree and Crafting tree from new SH 14 accounts.
        Last but not least I wanted to thank Skilly, Coors1 and Chaos, without their help and guidance over the past year I would have never made it this far.

          Cool (: once again, your choice. Glad it works for you. I do it differently but I also wouldn’t take a rally lol and risk losing that many troops 😛 Usually my rebuilding is never that great and 1 barracks (with the tons of 3 hour speeds i get from gifts) is more then enough to train back my 20-100k t2 losses. Once again, your choice though. I can take 320k troops out of a hospital though with one 3 day speed up. And my hospital has only ever overflowed once.

          If you managed to make a 1b + account on 45$ I’m guessing you are not a fighter, and before you bring up your trap. A fighter is not a trap. It’d be easy to get to 1b with little fighting. But if you were an avid fighter. Not possible.

        Just a simple calculation for 10 lv14 villas(140% training boost) and 10 lv14 barracks to train troops: full load training with 10500 T1 troops per time need 18.21hrs. It means for 1.05 million T1 troop, you’ll need 1821hrs, i.e. about 75.875 days or two and half month. You can image that for 8 millions troops… wow, such a long time!! Lol!

        $25 is realistic in this trap account being as low as it is and seeing the gear your hero has. It’s easy to do events as an sh5-7 and earn gold/speeds if you have a bigger account that can give you resources.
        I don’t see having a billion power for $45 as being realistic unless you got into an alliance that spends like crazy and you rack up the gold gifts.
        I like your play-style of sh14 with high troops. I have considered that myself for a fun alt account. I hope the people reading this make an effort to get some decent hero gear or at least some relics before they take rallies like that.

        Hello all, I will try to answer the questions:

        #1 No hospitals, I will never build a single hospital; I never did on my old large account either. Troops are too easy to rebuild when you have 11 Barracks and 10 villas. The amount of troops a SH 14 could heal with full hospitals would still be minimal. Then rebuilding would be a nightmare without the barracks and villas.
        I have already rebuilt 75% of my troops and made 100k gold doing so. You need to rebuild to make gold, and earn chest to improve your gear.

        #2 I took the rally just to see the damage, no regrets was a learning experience and will do it again in the near future and I will still lose but do much better. IMO it was far more fun than throwing up a skirt releasing the trapped hero’s like a chicken.
        Being SH 14 and having multiple SH 21 hero’s is not only funny but very fun! Consider I also took a hit at the Wonder from a guy with full cores, most would have shielded, I wanted to see what would happen, the attacker said he will never solo a trap SH14 trap again.

        #3 I am not bragging about money spent just trying to help educate people that the game can be played smart and still be able to grow giant without throwing cash at MZ over and over. MZ has set up events in a way you can break even or even prosper is you are patient.

        #4 This approach I have used IMO makes for a more interesting game, instead of mindless farming of small player, now people should pay a little attention

          Ok, so you can look up my name in game. Same name as I commented on this post. Click my graveyard, you’ll see I haven’t unlocked one cause im sh14, as it will say I am under sh15. Now, I currently have 43m kills at 51m power. I ONLY run hospitals. So keep in mind both strategies work. I can switch buildings easily and retrain the troops. I have only ever lost 700k t2. I also exclusively run t2, no t1 for me. I have had 6m troops go to the hospital total. So lets keep this open minded and remember there are other strategies. But good job none the less.

          Not to mention… This strategy has become far too popular. fewer and fewer people attack by the day. And im positive by the end of this article next to none will attack. People only fall for this trick once guys, never twice. Too many sh14s are already out there imo. But I guess everyone else can join in too. Just dnt expect to get kills unless you’re in a new kingdom.

        Myself and a friend have sh14 traps as well. Right now we both have between 8-9m st2. He had built up to 100m power just because of the milestone goal and had 10.5m st2 and his first 3 hits on the next KE were definitely effected by the Nerf. Between those 3 hits he lost almost 2.5m troops and usually we lose somewhere between 50-300k depending on t3/4 and their gear. So after that we decided to stay around 9m t2 to avoid Nerf range.

          I just finished making T2- T4 at 10:1 may I use this formula with out being Nerfed? I was talking with someone whom left our alliance for the #1 alliance in our kingdom, he told me to use a 10 to 1 t2 t4 and also destroy all t1 and t3 troops,( I am a little concerned this not enough)so as of now I have 20. Mil each t2 and 2mil each t4! Will this be a useable ratio, having it not at the 12.49 : 1 you have posted?
          I am a little worried to go to war until I have this ratio confirmed properly. Thanks Very Much

            10:1 ratio is more than safe. However, your T1 will be of little help to you and I also advise removing them from your trap. These troops will typically be a guaranteed kills for rally leader and may push you over the threshold of burning. Also, check nerf limits on T1. It is very small, like 25 m max. If you have more than 25 m t1 you will be nerfed. Also, yes, these nerf limits have been confirmed. You can trust them. There is a new nerf limit suggested that is 13:1 but I’m not 100% that it is trustworthy because its coming from a new site on the web relative to Realtips and others posting nerf limits. To be safe, I generally shoot for 12:1 T4:T2 and I’ve never had a nerfing issue.

        is Maz all Villas or Barracks? Why not hospitals?

        That seems like it would be a pain to retrain all those troops after that rally he took.

        Is there anything a sh lvl 21 that has t4’s can do about facing a trap/nerf besides avoiding it?

          My alliance leader is working on that at the moment. I believe he’s going to have 2m t4 and 2m t3 and a mix of the others

        Wow, no hospitals. Considering that last Rally I guess you need all barracks/villas so you can rebuild quickly. What’s your inner city setup?

        Impressive!!!!! He’s doing way better than me.

        Is he willing to share how he amassed so many troops in such a short time.

        If only you had hospitals. You wouldnt have to retrain hardly any troops unless you take a rally on. Congrats
