Townhall 9 Three Star Attacks

Let's talk about hero levels.  Many people believe the reason they don't three star in their war attacks is because their heroes are lower level.  I will always agree that the higher level your heroes, the easier it is to win, but often times people assume that it is solely the hero levels that dictate the success of the attack.  Under this logic, we should never war while a hero is upgrading and definitely not while two heroes are upgrading.  Enter Burrito, my iPad account!

If you have read the most recent blog post about our war with Kernow Clan, you know we won by only two stars.  Burrito got two three star attacks and did so with both heroes upgrading.  Both attacks were versus other townhall 9 bases.  Without these attacks we may have tied or lost.  It goes to show that with proper planning, proper troop selection, and a bit of luck you can still be successful in your clan war attacks regardless of the level of your heroes.  Take a look at the first attack which featured a quadlavaloon strategy.  I picked this strategy because the base had already been attacked and I knew what was in the castle.



As you saw, the three star attack was never in jeopardy; it was a solid victory.  Many people would say that because the clan castle had a pekka it was similar to attacking a base with no clan castle.  The next battle featured a level 5 dragon in the clan castle and I attacked it blind with no idea of what was in the castle.  In this battle I used a golem and wizard kill squad and lavaloons to get the three star.  It is also a higher level base on the war map.


                  

By watching the video you can see that I was able to destroy one air defense and lure the castle with the kill squad, but was unable to immediately kill the dragon.  I was still able to three star the base because lava pups killed the dragon, where as I mentioned before a little luck comes into play.

In closing I would like to point out that while I was successful with Burrito in the clan wars, I did one star my second attack with my main versus their number 2 base.  If I had gotten the second star it would have put the match out of reach and by not achieving it I put the clan at risk of a tie or loss.  I wanted to use that attack to point out that every attack is not going to be perfect but they all matter.  Just because you are not at full strength does not mean you cannot be a valuable asset to your clan.
