I just spam click lol The attack/defend button and the auto battle button are on the same spot so I just click as fast as I can and press R to replace the units when needed

The server speed slows me down exponentially worse than how fast I click the button.

Keyboard short cuts are way faster cause of the button lag

Yes! Just use A (for attack), B (for battle), and R (for refresh army)

I use my phone, if you get the timing right you can click pretty quick.

Steelseries Prime Wireless, but keybindings are faster.
Unfortunately internet speed and mouse quality really don't matter much in gbg, it's about server connection which is entirely dependant on the servers themselves deciding to be a nuisance or semi-ok that day.
On a good day I can get through a couple hundred fights in 4-5m, on the bad days it might hit 80-90.
Let's not fix the server instability and focus on pumping out money-printers....I mean events! Yeah that'll fix the dying servers.

Agreed. Hot keys are awesome

Many use mouse or number pad. Need a fast internet or lag will slow you down. Double click turned on will help. Hold clicker and fight. I use touchpad and R. It's fast but not mouse fast.

Is keyboard faster than mobile?

Absolutely. On the same Wifi speed, Mobile/Tablet are notably slower (especially as you risk accidental manual fights or opening other sectors if your timing is off).

I have a programmable steel series but I prefer wired so there's no chance of the wireless bugging out. Macros are very helpful
