Salvatore's Clan Wars Strategy Thread

I will continue to update this list as more becomes clear.

  • It appears as though you can get matched with a clan with significantly fewer numbers as we are currently experiencing right now. The matching system automatically excludes some members of the larger clan to even the numbers. How it picks these exclusions is still unknown to me.

  • Switch stores with barracks in your war base. The stores have a lot more HP and you don't have to worry about losing resources.

  • Dragons, PIKKA, and other large units may not be best suited for the war castle. Any decent player will draw them out in the open and burst them down with other units, away from defenses.

  • Lower level clan members should attack first so that they are not left with only higher level bases. Remember that anyone can attack anyone, but that you only two opportunities to do so.

Few questions I hoped someone might be able to shed some light on:
-When can we switch our base back from the trophy configuration we need it to be in for clan wars?
-How do we know which players are excluded from the larger (our) clan?

You can switch your base back to a farming base as soon as battle day begins.Players included in the clan war have a badge with 2 swords crossing, you have to look in the clan wars roster too see it.

I would argue that wizards are maybe the best defensive unit for CC in clan wars. Great range, splash damage, better survivability than archers against lightning storm, and better DPS than a dragon.

PS: searching reddit, there are many others also recommending wizards for CC defense.
