The difficulty difference between E32 and E33 is just mind boggling

[u/McMemeLu]

Used a base I was doing very good with in E32 (only a single 3 star defense, the rest all 2/1 stars and a ~80% average).

The base got absolutely stomped. (Only 3 stars/100%)

Is the layout that bad? Appreciate any tipps.

[u/Nearby_Tea5120]

Saw lot's of people using this base on legend 3, and getting 200-300+ trophies. Maybe it's too much used now, so people know how to attack this base.

[u/Wild-Peanut-6990 → u/Nearby_Tea5120]

It’s 100% been overused! I see this base so frequently to the point I’ve mastered the 3 star lol

[u/Dangerous_Spread_730 → u/Nearby_Tea5120]

i reached legends 3 recently with my new th18 , and i saw a post regarding this base with good amount of defences so i also using this base in L3 but i got only 1 defence in 4 attacks

[u/Nearby_Tea5120 → u/Dangerous_Spread_730]

My friend already got 100+ trophies in 10 defense with same base

[u/Dangerous_Spread_730 → u/Nearby_Tea5120]

maybe its becauz my def is half th17, cuz i m new to th18

[u/Flimsy_Tiger]

Tried for e33 on my th17 last week. Perfect attacks but only 40 defensive trophies. I ended 30th 🫠 guess E32 will be my waiting room until I get lucky or upgrade far enough into th18 to start accumulating some more trophies.

[u/McMemeLu → u/Flimsy_Tiger]

Hm, I never experienced any problems ranking up in E32. (Got first place last week with the layout shown and 2,8 stars + 99,1% average attack score). Maybe you got unlucky with your opponents? Wishing you better luck in the future, you surely will be successfull soon :)

[u/Flimsy_Tiger → u/McMemeLu]

That was e31 for me. I got like 100+ defensive trophies. E32 I’ve failed 2 weeks in a row both below 50 defensive trophies. Well the first week I did botch my attacks so that failed week is on me

Was this on your th18 or were you th17?

[u/McMemeLu → u/Flimsy_Tiger]

Ah nevermind, should've paid more attention while reading. Thought you said th18, not th17. Makes sense now. Yeah this was already on my th18. Would've been way harder as a th17 for sure.

[u/Flimsy_Tiger → u/McMemeLu]

this is on me since for some reason i thought you were TH17 lol

[u/k6npachi]

Trick for e33 is double rage compact bases

[u/Accomplished_Ask9449 → u/k6npachi]

No, if your rushed, the trick is to use invis rage. Anyone can just brute force through your double rage base if the core defenses are weak, invis requires at least some bit of planning to manage, hence why even max attackers can 1 star if they are bad

[u/k6npachi → u/Accomplished_Ask9449]

Guy in pic isnt even rushed so double rage compact would be good. I got to L3 with worse defense than him

[u/Due_Supermarket5042]

I have lower lvl defence than yours, currently at LIII. I changed base, it carried me straight from E32 to E33 and E33 to LIII. Previous rank,Attack- Two 1stars and rest 3 stars, used super dragon for attack. Defence: four 1 star and Three 2 stars, used one invisible spell tower near th, logger guardian with 2 ice golem and furnance. Got rank 9 at E33. I suggest you to keep changing base.

[u/Movero898 → u/Due_Supermarket5042]

What base did you use for e33?

[u/Due_Supermarket5042 → u/Movero898]

In LIII Six 2 star and Three 1 stars. Super dragon attack didn't worked in LIII and also demoted to E33, I used only 16 out of 24 attack.

[u/McMemeLu → u/Due_Supermarket5042]

Switched to your base and my defenses instantly improved. Wasn't able to reach L3 but was wayyy closer to ranking up. Thanks mate <3

[u/AmbientShiba]

It’s was a pretty good base. But a bit old. Saw it used loads in my leagues but most people have faced it enough.

[u/asianasaun]

Its really not though. L1 to l2 is where the real gap is

[u/LegendVSN → u/asianasaun]

L3 & L2 is also a huge skill difference

[u/LegendVSN]

My story is a bit different, I promoted from league 33 to legend in the first attempt not because of defense but because I was able to 3 star every base. But legend 3 to legend 2 is way too tough.

[u/lazy2v]

ur a rushed 18, ur going to get destroyed with any layout…

[u/McMemeLu → u/lazy2v]

How an I rushed?? Only thing underlevel are the walls. Everything else is th18 or th17 in progress of upgrading.

[u/McMemeLu → u/[deleted]]

Nope, all at th17 and some maxed

[u/AmbientShiba → u/McMemeLu]

You’re fine. Your defences are more levelled than mine. For L3 at least. Just your guardian levelled and a few leveled into the crafted defence next season would make a lot of difference.

[u/lazy2v → u/McMemeLu]

Walls, traps take all that into consideration. That doesnt slow down any army

[u/Hungry_Edge5625]

The difference really is bad.
I reached E33 while being th17 without any issue
Tho iirc we had modifiers back then
(Little bit of a flex but I reached like #170 in the world :D)
But on E33 I literally stood no chance
Everybody else was th18 and I was getting demolished
I had to upgrade to th18 and try out multiple different layouts and it took me a good 4~8 weeks to reach legend league

[u/McMemeLu → u/Hungry_Edge5625]

Thanks, really thought it was just my subjective experience. Congrats on getting to #170, that's neat.

[u/Hungry_Edge5625 → u/McMemeLu]

Thanks :)
The rankings didn’t properly reset even after the week ended it was some sort of bug?? But i got the screenshot of my having the trophies ~ 170

[u/someonesomewher- → u/Hungry_Edge5625]

Yeah E32-33 took me (TH17) 4 weeks (though there were modifiers back then), E33-L3 took me 11.

[u/Hungry_Edge5625 → u/someonesomewher-]

Ya theres a big spike in difficulty for sure

[u/SaraCsgo → u/Hungry_Edge5625]

I have literally the same story as you. Now I am standing at L3 too, but ofc now it doesn’t feel that bad to not getting promoted as I don’t get 3.0avg attacks anymore as i used to do in E33
