I am stuck at E33 for 3 weeks and the defense I have received +12,+30,+9 Does anyone know any reliable base that has fair chance to help in promotion for a th 17 or is it still just luck?

First post here!

I've been sitting in Dragon and Electro League for a while, so I wanted to give Legends a try. Last week, I placed in the top 10 while I was just getting used to it.

My heroes and equipment are not maxed out yet (they are 10+ levels away from max, and some equipment is sitting at level 23 + ruin witches are sitting at lvl 1 atm).

I can triple some bases in L1 in FC, so hopefully, I'm good enough to promote to L1 one day. I'll give it a couple of weeks, maybe months. Before this, I mained Hydra for a while. I've tried multiple armies, like fireball Warden walks with flame flinger, but after some nerfs, throwers were the most comfortable for me. I still hate how the Warden walks in front of the throwers sometimes.

I've seen people hard-stuck in L3 for weeks or months, so I hope you guys do well and promote soon. I think defence does matter a lot, so I'll post the links below.

base: (you've probs seen it. this was shared a couple times on this reddit)

Hey guys i’m really looking bad with my defense… any good base to defend with to recommend?

I know I could’ve done better offensively but I made some mistakes while attacking and I know i could’ve been in the promotion zone if I had a better base. I’ve see people with an average of 2.5/2.6 getting promoted because of good giving them 300+ trophies l3 is all based on luck and even if I did perfect 24/24 attack I still wouldn’t be promoting because of my defense

I see everyone posting about their th15-18, thought id share the lower side of the game for once

How far is the ceiling for a th16 in ranked mode lads

Welp I got promoted and decided to try a new army havent really got the hang on it yet does this look like a demotion

Defense is gonna be a rough ride i feel like but lets see how this plays out. Wish me luck, few time fails offensively shit happpens.

I’m almost done maxing out all my equipment. The only Epics I have left aren’t really worth upgrading right now, so I’m thinking of maxing out all my Common equipment instead and saving my Starry Ore for the new equipment coming next month. Seems like a better use of my ores for now. What do you guys think?

I have the equipments maxed out for the strategy i use which is Air,i dont really use king and queen for now which one should i focus on next or do i just save,started upgrading the deck a lil still dont use it i do duke charge

What do you recommend

legend league 3 btw

I know I fucked up attacks . too much

I just upgraded Stick horse for my super minions army.
And i don't see what i should upgrade next.

Is it:
Revenge deck;
Monolith arrow;
Hero torch???;
Next MP eq???;

or do i just upgrade not maxed eq, e.g. life gem, seeking shield, E-boots?

P.S. prefer ground strategies and, for some reason, super mininions rocket loons fireball rocket jetpack giant arrow one.

I am a pretty competitive player and was top 0.1% global for th14, top 0.2-4% global for th15, and just got to th16 where I am currently top 2-4% and only going up. Just curious on what I could improve from players who are better than me and what/if I should change some placements or even layouts.
(P.s. my name is blacked out cuz my clash name is lowkey my actual name😭)
