Delpez is back with more war stats! Required reading for clan members. Readers who don’t care about CoC can probably scroll past this post, unless you really dig numbers.

Also if someone could let me know an easy way to make the tables smaller, with less space between cells in WordPress, that would be cool. This was a copy/paste job out of Word, with just some minor editing to make the tables fit the page, but I would like the tables a bit smaller overall, and in the editor I can’t seem to be able to adjust cell size individually like you can do in Excel.

Supreme Cream! War Stats vs. Polska Elita

General War Stats

	Supreme Cream!	Enemy
Score	102	77
Nr of TH10	3	3
Nr of TH9	4	2

Inactive Players	1	9

Theoretically they were a bit stronger than us, but they also had lots of rushed bases, inactivity and ineffective attacks; resulting in an easy win for Supreme Cream.

Stars not conquered

	Supreme Cream!	Enemy
TH10	9	3
TH9	3	3
TH8	21	6
TH7	8	4
TH6	2	2
TH5	–	0
Sum	43	18

They did not take a single star off our TH10 bases, and made very little impact on our TH8 bases. We did well against all levels. Note that the stars we left behind against their TH6, 7 and 8 bases could have been reduced even further if we didn’t go for loot towards the end.

Overall attack stats

Combined Attacks

		Supreme Cream!	Enemy
Combined	Attacks Used	72	56
	3 Star Attacks	26	19
	Total 3 Star %	36.1	33.9
	Average Stars / Attack	1.75	1.43
1st Attack	Attacks Used	39	31
	3 Star Attacks	18	11

2nd Attack	Attacks Used	33	25
	3 Star Attacks	8	8
	Total 3 Star %	24.2	32.0
	Average Stars / Attack	1.58	1.36

Their inactivity hurt them badly, but we also scored more stars per attack and a higher percentage 3 stars for the first attack (combined attack stats are skewed because many of our second attacks were 1 star loot strikes).

Attacks against same level bases

		Supreme Cream!	Enemy
Combined	Attacks Used	49	19
	3 Star Attacks	22	2
	Total 3 Star %	44.9	10.5
	Average Stars / Attack	1.92	0.95

2nd Attack	Attacks Used	19	9
	3 Star Attacks	6	0
	Total 3 Star %	31.6	0.0
	Average Stars / Attack	1.74	0.78

We shined here – they were extremely ineffective attacking same level bases, while we did very well: we scored 22 of our 26 total stars against same level bases. To some extent this is a function of their rushed bases; I can only speak for the TH7 bases I scouted during the war, but a number of them barely qualified as TH6!

Attacks against lower level bases

		Supreme Cream!	Enemy
Combined	Attacks Used	10	34
	3 Star Attacks	4	16
	Total 3 Star %	40.0	47.1
	Average Stars / Attack	2.00	1.74
1st Attack	Attacks Used	5	20
	3 Star Attacks	2	8
	Total 3 Star %	40.0	40.0
	Average Stars / Attack	2.00	1.60
2nd Attack	Attacks Used	5	14
	3 Star Attacks	2	8
	Total 3 Star %	40.0	57.1
	Average Stars / Attack	2.00	1.93

This is where they spent most of their attacks and scored most of their 3 stars. Usually we should be doing more of these attacks, but since the war was not close we used many of our second attacks for loot, rather than cleaning up lower 2 star bases. Just a word of caution, a couple of our attacks were against bases three and four TH levels below the attacker. That seems like a wasted attack, and takes away potential targets for lower level bases. A lower level attack should be one TH level below; or maybe two levels if your base is very rushed.

Attacks against higher level bases

		Supreme Cream!	Enemy
Combined	Attacks Used	13	3
	3 Star Attacks	0	1
	Total 3 Star %	0.0	33.3
	Average Stars / Attack	0.92	1.00
1st Attack	Attacks Used	4	1
	3 Star Attacks	0	1
	Total 3 Star %	0.0	100.0

2nd Attack	Attacks Used	9	2
	3 Star Attacks	0	0
	Total 3 Star %	0.0	0.0
	Average Stars / Attack	1.00	0.00

They made very few of these attacks, and scored a 3 star. We did a lot of attacks against higher level bases, but all the second attacks were for loot. I also suspect that some players are reluctant to attack a base that has already been 2 starred and would rather attack a base that’s has no stars against it, even at a higher level (the recommended attack from the AI does not help either). It may be worth pointing out that it’s almost always better to attack a base with 2 stars that you could smash, rather than getting 1 or even 2 stars against a higher level base (Attacks against tough TH9 bases and almost all TH10 bases are the exception here, as its very difficult to 3-star such bases).

TH5 and TH6 attack stats (lumped together in one bracket)

We did not do well, but they did even worse. It also didn’t help that the one base our TH6’s could have easily 3 starred (their TH5), was smashed early in the war by one of our TH9’s. Because the enemy had very few low level bases (four), there were a limited number of sensible attacks our guys could make.

Attacks against same level bases

However, we performed very poorly against those same level bases. I’ve had a look at some of the attacks and all of them were Giant/Healer/Archer attacks (which is good), and they shared the same mistakes (which is bad). None of the attacks I watched pulled clan troops correctly. Most tried to pull, but then didn’t pull all the clan troops before dealing with them. I’ve seen a number of attacks where we pull some of the clan troops, deal with them and then get the giants annihilated by the rest of the clan troops. Some people also don’t attack the air defence, so the healer gets destroyed quickly. Finally, it seems as if people are reluctant to upgrade their army camps (expensive, takes forever), because a number of the attacks I watched were with 135 worth of troops. Upgrading your army camps is a pain, but more than worth it. At TH6 this equates to another healer, or three more giants or fifteen archers – lots of extra power. To be fair, it’s can be quite difficult for a TH6 base to 3 star a solid TH6 base, but I guess we can do better than 0.86 stars per our first attack.

The first attacks were a bit of a waste, but maybe a function of very few available TH6 bases. Once again the point that it’s better to attack a TH6 base with 2 stars than a TH7 base with no stars. The second attacks were for loot.

We smashed them pretty hard here.

Especially considering that most of our (first) attacks were against same level bases. The 3 star percentage is very high – maybe a function of dragon attacks that almost can’t fail against TH7 bases?

2nd Attack	Attacks Used	2	7
	3 Star Attacks	1	3
	Total 3 Star %	50.0	42.9
	Average Stars / Attack	1.50	1.57

This is where they used most of their attacks, and it was not very successful (I guess the valk in the clan castle had something to do with it?). We should probably be making more of these attacks, but they had so few TH6 bases and we were already winning, so it didn’t matter in the end.

Not much happening here – all our second attacks were for loot. The one first attack did score two stars, but it would probably have been better directed towards a same or a lower level base.

Big improvement over the previous war (the one we lost, not the easy one in between). This is especially significant since most of our attacks were against same level bases, while the enemy mostly attacked down.

As was the case with the TH7’s, the enemy directed most of their TH8 attacks down, with reasonable success. Once again we would probably make more of these (second) attacks if the war was closer

They seemed to outperform us in this bracket. We do have a number of rushed bases in this level, but I don’t know enough about high level CoC to make informed comments.

2nd Attack	Attacks Used	3	1
	3 Star Attacks	0	0
	Total 3 Star %	0.0	0.0
	Average Stars / Attack	1.33	2.00

I guess these are bonus stars, as it’s not expected to consistently 3 star TH9&10 bases. Also note that they didn’t get any stars off our TH10 bases. All their stars and attacks were directed at our TH9 bases, and we have a few people who rushed to that level.

Attacks against lower level bases

		Supreme Cream!	Enemy
Combined	Attacks Used	5	4
	3 Star Attacks	1	2
	Total 3 Star %	20.0	50.0

	Total 3 Star %	0.0	50.0
	Average Stars / Attack	2.00	2.00

But I would have expected TH9&10 bases to reliably 3 star TH8 bases? (Syn comment: If all of our TH9s were ‘normal’, yes. But we have a few who rushed and don’t have TH9-level troops, so their attacks are more like TH8, maybe even TH7, in terms of power. Rushing is bad kids!)

Summary

Good Stuff

Activity was high, especially for the first attack.

TH7&8 attacks against same level bases achieved a high 3 star percentage..

We won!

For Improvement

Don’t attack more than one TH levels below your level (preferably one level, but it’s ok to attack two levels down if your base is rushed).

It’s almost always better to attack a base with 2 stars that you could potentially smash, rather than getting 1 or even 2 stars against a higher level base (Not applicable to TH9+ bases).

TH6 attacks – pull ALL clan troops properly, go for AD with giants and upgrade army camps for more power.

TH9&10 rushed bases – I’m not sure what we can do except wait, but they could potentially target TH8&7 bases in wars?
