Clash of Clans Extreme Hybrid War Base Strategy Guide

Credits: Half The Defenses.... DOUBLE THE POWER! (Extreme Hybrid War Base Strat) by ToddYoung213

Plan for TH10 Hybrid War Base

2 Max Wiz Towers

2 Max Mortars

3 Max Cannons----- OPTIONAL---- Can switch with AT's

4 Max Archer Towers

4 Max AD's

4 Max Teslas

All Traps Maxed and Set (These add very little to your defense score)

What it looks like:

(Not the base design, just the basic concept of buildings and traps.. extra walls etc.)

WHAT NOT TO BUILD

2 Air Sweepers

3 Extra Archer Towers

2 Extra Cannons

2 Extra Mortars

2 Extra Wiz Towers

2 Infernos(OBVIOUS NONO)

3 XBows

(16 total defenses not built!)

Lego Walls* & Heroes ARE A MUST.

If you could grind at least level 9 walls, you'll force more AIR raids... Which of course, you're most prepared to defend.

*New update added a good bit of weight to walls, so be careful. I'd recommend not going past legos, but it won't hurt too much. It really doesn't matter how much weight SC puts on heroes, you'll need them, so upgrade them as soon as you have enough DE.

Offense

BARCH(or just archers past TH7)... How else are you going to raid for resources?

RAGE HEAL FREEZE

Lavaloon-->Golems-Hogs

Heroes(Most important part of any offense)

What This Does for YOU and YOUR CLAN!

This will make your base VERY strong for a TH7-ish mirror... Not even max TH8's/weak TH'9s will be able to touch the base. You WILL FORCE raids from the top of their clan.

You will be able to 3 star everyone (with skill, of course)

The reason this works:

UPGRADING defenses doesn't add much to your overall "Match Making Score".

ADDING defenses(Especially XBows/Infernos) pushes you WAY up the list.

By just maxing(and buying) roughly half of your available defenses, you are twice as strong as your mirror, and MUCH MUCH stronger in offense. You'll be surprising the hell out of them and wasting many of their lower attacks. If the clan is smart, they'll have to use an attack from way up the board to even have a chance at 3. (and of course you'll be attacking way up the board to 3 star them!). Its a double whammy.

Why Not The .5 Strat?

If you're maxing all your defenses, buying all the available defenses, and only skipping the infernos(as 9.5) or X-Bows(8.5)... It will still work, but you're still going to be the top base for the next TH down in your clan. Sometimes you'll be matched with TH10's depending on your overall clan compositions. Yes, you can still 2-3 star those with your shiny offense, but you CAN'T defend them.

Why Not Defenseless?

Sure, you can 3 star most of the other clan, but you're GUARANTEED to get 3'd every time. The only way this strat works is if you're in a realllly mixed clan and can be 99% sure the base you get matched up against is an incredibly low TH.

Upgrade Timeline

Max Teslas ASAP! In the beginning, you won't have other maxed defenses to save you, and with an incredibly weak base, you'll want these to be a huge surprise to the lower attackers.(These are also the highest single target DPS behind infernos)

Wizard Towers and Air Defense's should be next. You'll need defense from mass giants and dragons for that matchup range.(and later on LavaLoonian)

Archer Tower's are your XBOWS! They don't fire as far, but these are your replacements, your heavy hitters for Ground and Air! Cannons are important, and should be taken to at least lvl 10 before you concentrate on maxing other defenses. These stop Heroes and Golems.(skip step if you replaced with AT's)

Mortars need to be lvl 6 ASAP but can be neglected. Basically just need these to hold off Witches/mass Barch raids.

I highly recommend maxing all the current defenses and walls for each TH before moving up, because this strat is made to help your clan in war... and you'll still have a loot penalty.(Still follow the above list as much as you can)

Maxing Other Upgrades: Spell Factory--> Archers(or Barch)--> Camps--> Spells--> Storages-->DE Drills(Maybe further up in the list depending on how much you can raid)

CONS (yeah, even too much water can kill you, its called drowning.. Everything has a con) Saved these for end, because, well, there are haters... and haters gonna hate.

-You'll need a new base (or a fresh TH6)

-You'll need to farm a lot of resources

-You'll be a liability in a some TH9-10 clans unless you recruit/have about 5 good TH8's to keep the MM equal.(You'll need to play around with the numbers on this- I'm not sure how many you'll really need to consistently get matched up with bases around your rank)

-Depending on the matchup, and who you're asked to attack, you might fail the raid and negate half of the reason we're doing this(Which is to get 6 stars and waste the raids of their better attackers).

-You'll struggle to find a clan at first that understands what you are doing... and is worthy of your efforts.

-In the beginning, you won't be an asset unless you're in a very mixed clan that can afford to lose bottom stars for a little bit. (While you work on offense and max the appropriate defensive buildings).

-The reason .5 is popular is because its easy "NOT" to buy something... This strat will force you to start from the beginning(or at TH6 if you already have one)

-The reason defenseless is popular is because people are easily able to build a base and rush the TH every time you upgrade the offense you need. WITH THAT SAID... Neither will come close to being as good as this strat if you're serious about war.

PROS(already listed most of them above)

Yeah, that'll be you. The Pro.

Waste their attacks.

You get 6 stars and allow your weaker attackers to raid lower and guarantee 6 for them.

Mess up matchmaking.

Unique, standout base, that will guarantee you a spot in any elite mixed clan.

With wars coming down to the wire, and only being decided by how many 3's, you'll be the one wrecking their day.

I think I did a good job of explaining everything... I don't care if this stays on the front page, but if you like the idea, please feel free to bump and comment.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ We're going to disagree on some stuff, and there's a chance I missed some key aspects, but keep the flaming to a minimum. I made the post to possibly give you a new reason to clash if you're getting bored- and possibly want to become part of elite clans as an unique and VERY important member.
