Talk:Flammy's Strategy Guides/Attacking: How To Raid - Goal: Get Resources/@comment-24905388-20140505145507

OK, Flammy, your guide makes some good points, but I have several issues with it. Firstly, don't EVER use giants, WB's, or healers to raid. If you can't get the job done with archers, barbs, and gobbies, you're attacking the wrong bases. I use a 60/40/100 archer/barbarian/goblin army and i routinely raid over a million of each per day. The key is having the patience to push "next" until you find the right base to attack. If you have the slightest doubt about attacking a heavy resource base, skip it. The ideal attack involves empty storages (obviously) and full collectors (again, obviously.) Drop your archers where they can't be hit by defenses (also drop some by outlying builders huts for the achievement if you want.) Wait until your archers get within defensive range and deploy goblins towards available resources. If a collector is well guarded by a mortar or wizard tower, send your barbs at it. If you care about trophies, send your offenses at all remaining non-defensive buildings for the 50% star.

If you have a problem with collecting 300k to 400k per raid and waiting 15 minutes for your troops to rebuild, then I will earn more loot than you.
