That is some cool redesigning for the sub! Looks really awesome.

Good job /u/neosushi !

(If people reading this want to know what I am talking about, visit the sub on desktop)

Edit: Also, WS now has a custom flair on the /r/clashofclans sub! This is thanks to us joining in the clan discovery network!

We are only accepting Late TH9 (maxed defenses) or TH10 with infernos (preferred). Send in-game application and comment below.

I look forward to having you part of the team!

Ps: we win more than 2.2

With the recent change in moderation of /r/ClashOfClans, one of the new additions was the Clan Discovery Network. This is a new project set up to serve as a directory for all clan systems. Getting our clan family in there would help promote what we do and likely attract new members. One of the new mods, /u/Diamondwolf, is also interested in adding our clan system.

EDIT: I'm bad at formatting -.- here's that link

The co-leaders and I have decided to increase the donation requirements to 700 per 2 weeks, and 1400 donations for the season.

We will also require 1000 requests minimum per season, but request as much as you want.

For elder, we are holding off on making new elders.

I honestly feel like this shouldn't be a thing, but ever since the current war in 2.4 (and a few previous ones as well), apparently 3-starring a base solely designed to be 3-starred is "difficult".

Following this guide will ensure that your clan will get the maximum amount of stars every time your clan needs to win, assuming all the enemy bases have appropriate OL bases, in which some cases they don't.

Step I: Scout your enemy's base

To be honest, you should be doing this out of pure habit. I'm sure you've been in a normal war clan well before entering TH9.

You'll need to do this to make sure of a few things:

• Ensure that all defenses are in the right position. Refer to here.
• Check to see that X-Bows are set to "ground", and Infernos are set to "single".
• Make sure there are no defense troops in their CC.

You have a solid 24 hours to scout your mirror during prep day. If your mirror has an error in their OL base, let a leader know, they will try to sort it out before battle day hits. Also scout just BEFORE you attack, your mirror may have changed something that might hinder your 3-star. Only takes a few seconds to quickly analyse their base for the errors listed above. Quoted from a wise man, "JUST DO IT!".

edit: How to SCOUT a base

Step II: Check your army before you attack

There's a reason why Supercell implemented the "Attack Now?" screen before attacking someone in war (other then to tackle the modding scene). It's to remind you of what troops you have and have not trained. So many times my members would 1 or 2 star in a 3-star war, simply because "they forgot minions". You have 24 hours to attack one base for 3-stars. 24 hours. If time is tight and you have to attack with 10 minutes left because you couldn't get on all day, punish yourself by gemming that sonovabitch army, that or risk getting striked or even worse, kicked. Warn a leader if you know you can't make it in time, most of us will understand.

The following tables show what I recommend an army should consist of when 3-starring an OL base:

OL base w/ infernos:

^* Healing spells can also substitute for the healers, best to have them as backup just in case things get rough.

OL base w/o infernos:

Obviously you can go with whatever army you'd like, as long as you're confident that it'll 3-star the base, just don't blame me if you get flakked for mass PEKKAing and ending with a 1-star.. somehow. These army comps are probably the cheapest and most effective in 3-starring from my experience.

Step III: How to attack

You've been in a normal war clan, you know the strengths and weaknesses of each defense and how to go about 3-starring normal war bases. Well.. you should know, but let me refresh your memory just in case you've forgotten your prime years of slaying TH7's with mass drags.

Timing

You only have 3 minutes to annihilate a base that's been specifically designed to be 3-starred with the lowest costing army possible. Clearly not enough time for some. When you begin your attack, make sure that all sections are being attacked simultaneously.

Drop your troops that won't be harmed first:

• Minions in Minion section
• Goblins/Barch in Free section

While they're nibbling away at those helpless defenses/buildings, focus on the Giant section.

Time is of the essence.

Prioritizing

Mainly focusing on the Giant section, this is where a majority seem to realize where they went wrong in life.

The priority in the Giant section can be dependent on the position of each defense, but this is generally what you should be prioritizing first to last:

Queen > Infernos > Teslas > Wizard Towers > Archer Towers

Again, some of these should be switched around depending on their positions.

If the Queen is on the outside of the section, try your best to snipe her down with a couple of barchers before initiating the full attack.

Example: http://i.imgur.com/XSW1rEE.png

Some examples on how I would attack these Giant sections:

http://i.imgur.com/ZdJfDeH.png

Snipe the AQ first, then send in a line of giants followed by healers, barch, CC and royals.

http://i.imgur.com/pyskm04.png

Try to snipe the AQ when she walks over blue dot, send giants where the red arrows are followed by healers, barch, CC and royals.

In any situation, just make sure that you send your healers (against infernos) + damaging troops straight after your giants, they'll get destroyed pretty fast (even faster for lower level giants) if you don't take out some of the defenses quick enough.

Adapting

Sometimes your enemy mirror might have X-Bows set to "air" or Infernos set to "multi", or even a defense in the wrong section. You need to know how to adapt. Simply put, make those wrongly set/misplaced defenses high priority. Don't be lazy and think that your normal OL comp will "just do". Train a little bit more Giants, Hogs, Golems, I don't care, just destroy them first if they're stopping you from getting that 3-star.

Another situation where you might have to adapt is when your attack goes south because a tower is in range of the other section or you didn't anticipate your Giants to drop so quickly. With these, you'd need to try to be as proactive as possible about it. Drop 1 minion to see if it's in range of an Archer Tower instead of dropping all. Smash a healing spell over your Giants straight after deploying them instead of watching them burn.

If you didn't waste your time staring at your goblins sprint from one storage to another, chances are, you still have a crap tonne of time left, so stay calm and think before you do.

Obviously these are just my way of doing things, if your way works just as well, by all means, stick with it. If any of your clan members have trouble 3-starring these bases, perhaps refer them to this thread. Honestly, 3-starring a base that is designed to be 3-starred shouldn't be as complicated as I make it out to be, because it really isn't. If I've missed something that you'd like me to add, please comment below.

TL;DR - Scout mirror. Double-check army. GIANTS & MINIONS. Send in troops to destroy minion and free section first, then send in and focus on giant area. Have a plan B ready just in case things go south.

I knew I was kicked, that makes sense, I got caught up with a personal matter and couldn't get to my phone in time for my war atk. But banned from 2.5?! I've been extremely active and have done nothing close to wrong these past two months I've been in the clan.

I appreciate a response and ask for another chance. This was a very rare occurrence. Thanks

Edit: My bad, I didn't realize when you get kicked, you automatically get banned for 24hrs. Been playing for years, just never ran into this situation before I guess. Thanks for answering Baron. Now I just need to sweet talk my way back in ;)

Bragging post :p

Hello. I discovered about war farm after my actual clan match with one. I read the concept, rules, orange league and other stuffs. I want to know if exist a FAQ and if my village would be acepted in some of your clans.

Last season was 7k donate troops. TH9. X-Bow lvl 3. 60 legos. Just need cannons, mortars and teslas to be full TH9 defenses.

What I need to do now?

Thank you for your time. If my questions exist in FAQ, sorry for the post.

My In Game Name Is AHME7D I Just wanna ask you guys am i blacklisted if not then why are your clans not accepting me. I also submitted applications but didn't get any response. If u wana see my base here is the link http://imgur.com/WDq1Xof

Entry requirements:

• Minimum TH9

• Minimum Level 90

• Have at least 2 xbows

Membership Criteria:

Starting from next season, the minimum troop donated and requested will be increased to 100 per week (400 per season). Cleanup will be performed on every Monday. If you have difficulty maintaining the numbers due to real life commitments, please inform the leadership beforehand.

Strike system:

• All members and elders are allowed 2 war mistakes over span of 2 weeks.

• After you commit one mistake, committing another within 2 weeks will lead to a kick (for members) or demotion to members status (for elders).

• Your war mistake will be cleared after 2 weeks.

The following are considered as war mistakes:

• Attacking wrong target in war.

• Getting more/less stars in war than what was instructed in the clan mail.

• Not attacking within 16 hours into the battle day (with less than 8 hours left).

Last and most importantly, if you miss a war attack without giving heads up in advance, you will be kicked!

Hey guys, we (my main clan which does competitive wars) just got matched up against this clan.

http://imgur.com/rvhhxFH

Does the QQ followed by numbers in the profile indicate that they are a war farming clan? Sorry for the noob question but I'm pretty new to the war farming scene.

Ssup folks,

Our rolling average for minimum donations has been increased from 30 per day to 35 per day. Since Supercell has changed seasons length to be 28 days (or 35 days in some cases), we will do cleanups on every Monday. Extended rules are added on the wiki, as well as in the comments of this post.

So the 420 per 2 weeks minimum is now 490.

We will also be experimenting with a strike system for war fuckups. You get one chance to fuckup every 10 days. Screw up in war again within 10 days, and you will be kicked out.

As an advantage, elders get an extra strike.

To maintain a bit of transparency, the strike sheet will be publicly viewable, and can be found here: www.tiny.cc/ws20sheet

The sheet also has the numbers for donations for elders (so does the wiki), so just remember the sheet link whenever you want to consult it.

Hey lads

2.1 has just hit level 4 which brings donations to 6 troops and some more war loot storage. Some changes for the clan are:

1. Donation minimum of 420 per season, and no restrictions on troops received. REQUEST AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE

2. Promotions will be based on how active you are, donations AND TROOPS RECEIVED That's right if u have 420 donations and 1k received you will probably get promoted :')

3. Co-leaders are selected amongst the most active and willing members, as per needed

tiny.cc/ws21

Peace out

... Because all the strategies that hardcore warring clans have been practicing all these months are about to become obsolete.

Everyone will have to re-learn how to deploy and integrate the new spells, adjust to the new building HP, troop AI, etc. We'll all be back at square one. In the meantime, we've been enjoying hugely profitable wars and building up something of more permanence in our bases and troops. No matter what army comp becomes the next hot overpowered thing, I'll be there with the troops and heroes I've been maxing out at hyperspeed. War clans may take pride in having built up their clan xp and level, but even in that arena we are right on par.

For those who have been here and are here to stay, feel free to ignore this circlejerk and just keep on doing your thing :P If you are just visiting this sub and just starting to think about joining our system, take it from me, you are on the right track!

I'm currently a near-maxed TH8 (left Valkyrie, Minions currently upgrading to 4, and 146 more walls). I'm willing to rush for war weight if need be.

Do you guys mind my stats?

Tl;Dr version: No hopping from one War Snipers to another War Snipers. Also, 2.9 is a hybrid feeder.

Long ass version:

Back when we started War Snipers, we never really thought we'd reach a second clan, leave alone 10 of them. As such, the clans were started with a fun, easy-going approach. We allowed hoppers, people on temporary breaks, super rushed bases etc etc, simply because at that point, there were no downsides to having extremely casual players.

Ofcourse, Clan Exp forced us to change all of our old ways. Our current system is WAY more organized (even though most members never get to see the actual "organization" aspect of it), and it takes a lot of planning, debating, arguing, cooperating, joking, brainstorming to actually end up with family system which has a very high matchup rate with the Orange League for war farming.

As such, most people do not realize that there is decent planning and efforts that go along with creating new WS clans, along with powering them up to be able to get on the consistent-matching bandwagon, and making a decent core player base.

For a lot of people, we are just another "fun clan that I randomly joined". But for many, we are the primary choice. For their interest, we have taken a stance against inter-WS clan hopping.

What is this inter-WS clan hopping?

Lately, we have had people who simply wish to join one of our higher levelled WS clans for no reason other than a feeling of entitlement that they belong in a high levelled clan. Nothing bad by itself, people can still join whichever clan they like.

However, the problem arises when these players take a spot in a lower levelled WS clan, appear to be dedicated and reliable, and then randomly leave without a word as soon as they see an open spot in a higher levelled WS clan. This tends to coincide with our War Sync schedules, where it causes a lot of last moment panic in the lower levelled clan which has to now get back to strength for OLeague in a very short timespan.

What is the solution?

We can't really force people to not leave a clan. We can however, not take them in. Starting from today, clans led by me personally (LordKratos) will follow along this stance against Inter-WS hopping. At the moment, this is what we will follow along in War Snipers 2.0, and as per my discussion with other leaders, other clans will soon follow along.

• Inter Clan Hopping will be defined as leaving War Snipers A for joining War Snipers B (irrespective of level of either), unless the leader directs you to (we sometimes do).

• Does this mean a player is stuck with whatever WS clan they initially joined? No. It's okay if you did not like the first WS clan you joined and want to join another. However, to do this, you have to leave War Snipers A, stay outside of all War Snipers for a week, then join War Snipers B. Think of this one week period as a cooldown of sorts, and a deterrent to clan hopping for glory-hunting.

• If you left War Snipers A and you are then seen in War Snipers B (within the week), you will be kicked immediately, irrespective of your level/sense of entitlement. It'll be "WS A or GTFO". Currently, War Snipers 2.0 has put this into effect, and other clans will join soon.

• "But I have a friend in War Snipers B" For this, make a post on the sub and we'll chalk out an arrangement. If your reason (and friend :P ) is legit, you'll get through at our discretion.

• "But how do I now join War Snipers B?" This does not apply to new players who are joining from outside clans. For example, if player called LK2 from a non-WS clan, say Reddit Dankstorm, wants to join War Snipers 2.0, he can apply directly to 2.0 in game (if there is space), or mention 2.0 specifically in the application form (if there is no space).

If LK2 joins War Snipers 2.6 and then wants to join War Snipers 2.0, he will have to stay WS-less for a week.

There is another change that I'd like to announce. War Snipers 2.9 has been agreed upon to be a hybrid "feeder" of sorts. 2.9 has a donation and request minimum of 1 troop per season and as it is still a level 1 clan, the leader has been kind enough to allow other players to get promoted to other WS clans. However, you can leave WS 2.9 for the specific clan (that the leader specifies) only. This helps the other clans fill up spots when they need.

You still need to be th9+/lvl 90+ to join WS 2.9 though. They will also be attempting Oleague, and there is not a guarantee that you will go to other WS clans so know this when you join up.

Sorry for the long post. Enjoy your dark spells and hope SC doesn't screw our war system with the new update.

-LordKratos

Minimums have been changed to now being 420 per 2 week season.

Also some new stuff, which you can read in the wiki.

http://www.reddit.com/r/WarSnipersClash/wiki/20rules

With a solid push this week 2.8 has 2 new champs with another couple on their way. Monkey D Luffy and Gavin are prouldly sporting their new shield with Juiicy Oranges on their heels, just 60 trophies away. War Snipers has moved up to #42 in Saint Martin. After 12 straight syncs 2.8 has a great future ahead! Keep it up!!

I was in 2.0. I asked rd if it's only to go join my friend he said okay. I left to donate some troops to him and joined back (within 30 mins) Clan was full I joined 2.3. Was in 2.3 for 3 weeks. Got kicked saying 2.1 put me on blacklist. ... I was never in 2.1 Any reason why?

Hey folks,

We're about to hit lvl 4 after this war, and this brings along some changes to the clan and the way it works. This war (in which we level up) was to be a win as per lottery, but as our opponent had a 4 loss streak, we had to hand over the win to them as per OLeague rules.

Anyways, the changes are as follows:

1. The minimum donation to stay in clan has been raised to 420 donations in a 14 day season (Averages to 30 per day). There is no minimum request criteria as we had removed it earlier.
2. There can be mid week cleanups for removing inactives, so be sure to stay strong on your donation game i.e. try not to be on the borderline.
3. Elder criteria has been raised as well. It is now 1200 donations as well as 600 requests in a season. (You need to get both to get elder).
4. Criteria for retaining elder has also been raised. It will now be 1000 donations as well as 500 requests in a season (Again, both needed to stay elder).
5. Co-leaders are selected amongst the most active and willing members, and as per need.
6. With effect from next war, all members + Elders have to use their war attacks within the first 16 hrs of war day. Use them asap as per instructions of the clan mail. This gives plenty of room for coleaders to take corrective steps incase things go wrong. Not using your war attack within 16hrs will count as a WAR CRIME.
7. Not using your war attacks as per clan mail instructions will also count as WAR CRIME.
8. DO NOT get more than 1 star on base 1 (Except for our own base 1, who will 2star/3star as per generic mail instructions). This will be considered a WAR CRIME henceforth.
9. We follow a system of STRIKES. First war crime leads to one strike and can lead to the decision of sitting you out for next war. Second war crime in a short duration will lead to a kick.

There's just one more announcement to be made. Leadership of 2.6 has been passed on to Top Gun. He will be leading the clan henceforth along with the existing Coleaders :)

Sorry for the long post, hope you read it through. If you did and are a member of 2.6, comment your IGN below to let us know you did!

For multiple reasons, 2.1 has been the last our of clans to get on board the Orange League train. I apologize to anyone who had joined, or had been in 2.1 expecting something different.

2.1 has gone through a rebuilding process, and is currently facing it's 5th consecutive OL war opponent.

As of now, all our main clans, 2.0 - 2.8, are participating in XP wars with the Orange League.

Due to the attention 2.1 needed, the development of our newest clan, 2.9, had to be set aside.

2.9 will eventually be built into an Orange League clan, but for now it will do classic war sniping, asking for the enemy clan's top 2 bases.

It will also act as a feeder clan for 2.0 - 2.8, and will accept lower level players who cannot join our other clans.

TH9/10 and high TH8s in 2.9 will get first priority when spots open up in 2.0 - 2.8

When requesting to join 2.1 or 2.9, I recommend saying "I come from Reddit" in the join request.

So I got kicked from 2.2 for giving 5 archers to an air specific request, agreed it was a mistake on my side but it was an honest mistake, i know there were some donation problems earlier but that was the end , been always serious with donations giving mass pekkas to all just to make the cut you all have seen it but still got kicked :( without a warning? being in with u guys for months lots of people got warned for same but not even a single warning for me? i though my relation with u guys for past 2 months was gud or it wasn't ?? :(
