Delpez is back with war stats! Below texts is all his work, which is always much appreciated. One important note; about halfway through the collecting of data SuperCell majorly nerfed inferno towers, which impacts how difficult it is to get two and especially three stars on a TH10, especially by a TH11.

Clash of Clans Performance: Season A.

It’s been two years since I’ve posted Clash of Clans data, so here goes! I’m not sure what season it is (Mikrakov gathered data for a while); so I decided to start from scratch with Season A. Data was collected for twenty wars from the conflict with Kings of Clash to the Chief’s Nation war. I’ve only included TH9+ players who participated in more than eight wars.

One of the key metrics is attacks against same-level bases. Engineered clans posed a problem, as TH10+ bases sometimes have TH9 defences. I used the war rankings and my own discretion to determine where a base fits in. For example, a TH11 with TH9 defences would be classified as a TH9.

A recap of the metrics:

Bleeds: How many times a player was attacked over and above the first. So, if you are attacked three times in a war, you score two bleeds. This is an indication of how many attacks were wasted on your base.

Holds: How many stars the player held onto – if your base was 2-starred at the end of a war, you score one hold.

Overall Closer: The player who scored the highest number of stars against a base will get the closer stars. For example, if player A got a 2-star and later player B got 3-stars against the same base, B will get three closer stars and A none. However, if B also scored a 2-star, A will get two closer stars (he was first) and B none. Overall just means that all attacks are considered, whether the player attacked up, down or sideways.

Overall All Stars: All the stars a player achieved on attack.

Overall 3 Stars: The total number of 3-star attacks.

Same Level Closer, All Stars and 3-stars: Track the same metrics as before, but you don’t get credit for attacking down.

Attack Down: Tracks the number of times a player attacked bases below his TH level.

So here are the numbers:

DEFENCE:

TH9

It’s no surprise that Jenks achieved the best defensive stats, his base gave TH9s (and some TH10s) headaches! On average he was attacked four times per war, and every third war he hanged onto a star.

TH10

The Bleeds are close at the top, Mikrakov, Syncaine, Darren and North all managed to hang onto more than a star per war.

TH11

Bleeds are similar, but Alister hung on to the most stars. Maybe because of the ringbase?

ATTACK:

TH9

These numbers are sorted according to closer stars against same level bases.

Nalyd, ThomasCat and Syn Alt all achieved more than 1.5 closer stars per war (and more than one 3-star per war). A lot of Nalyd’s attacks employed the witch-slap strategy; something other TH9’s might want to consider.

TwinkAlistair and Big Jonneh got the most overall closer stars, although this was often clean-up attacks.

TH10

TH10 attacks are tricky to evaluate, some players like Syncaine and North always attack bases with Inferno Towers, while newer TH10s seldom does. Maybe for the next season I’ll differentiate between bases with and without Infernos? In any case, Mikrakov achieved the most closer stars against same level bases and Delpez the most overall closer stars.

TH11

John has left the clan, but both Alistair and Sicarius’ numbers have improved a lot during the second half of the season. This is where most wars are won and lost; as more players join the TH11 ranks our performance at this level will become more and more important.

So that’s Season A. We are doing very well at the moment; our 50-war win percentage is close to 80%. However, we can still improve and the idea is to try and learn from the defence and attacks of the top performers.

I’m taking a short break from the stats and will start the next season in a couple of weeks.
