How to Attack:
- Step 1: Pull and kill the enemy Clan Castle troops (unless doing certain attacks like Dragons, or most attacks at TH9)
- Step 2: When their Clan Castle troops go down, your troops will beeline towards the enemy base. Generally continue your attack from this angle.
- Hopefully you pulled the troops in the direction you want to attack from!
- Step 3: Do your best!
- Step 4: Check your replay once or twice. Consider asking for advice on your attack.
- If it failed, look at where all your troops died and think about what you could have tried differently.
- If you troops went the wrong way, think about how you could have funneled differently.
What the heck is Funneling?
- It's the art of removing distractions so your troops go exactly where you want. Most troops go from one thing to the next closest thing. You need to make sure when they connect the dots, they end up where you want (instead of circling around the base).
Dealing with specific CC compositions:
- 20 arch, baby dragon
- If you're lalooning a base and you know it's 20 arch, baby dragon, you do not need to pull the CC. Just start your laloon as normal and double poison the CC when they reach a stable position.
- Lavahound
- Do not poison a lavahound. Hold the poison for after it pops.
- Witches
- If you're luring witches you need to be prepared to drop something behind the witch to kill it. They walk so slowly and will separate from the rest of the lure, but you have to attack from behind or it will never die.
