War tutorial videos for beginner players

Here’s a playlist of Alliance War hits recording how I routinely one-shot about half of my attacks and score more than 300 points per war. All while using mostly a mix of maxed 2-star & 3-star heroes and sometimes unleveled or half leveled 4-star heroes. I cover how I select which defense teams to hit and compose mono-color teams for my attacks. The early videos also cover how to compose teams using unleveled feeder heroes. If you have lower level alliance members who struggle with alliance …

Yo Momma’s Alliance War Guide + Team Planner

For the people who don’t know me, it’s Yo Momma from the well known alliance King of the North. You usually find us in top10. We can look back to the respectable win streak of 11 victories in a row, broken by Mixed Nuts. People ask for the secret of our success and start imitating our strategy so I would like introduce in our way of war (and yes, I know it’s not practically for all alliances outside.) This guide is written for advanced alliances who wanna start to improve their options and acti…

Alliance War Strategy Guide

Hazard’s War Notes Since the start of Alliance Wars, I have had the honor of serving as We Are Groot’s War Goddess . The role is intended to help coordinate team and individual war strategies. Over that time, I have made many mistakes and a few cunning moves. Through it all I have developed a general approach for guiding our alliance through wars from prep through the end of the war. The below should be considered both a work in progress as well as only one person’s viewpoint. But I hope…

War Strategies & More

Crystal Knights have recently started a website: crystalknights.net We share the war strategy we used on our way to Top 100. You can find information on just about anything E&P. If you’d like us to add something, something is incorrect, etc then please let me know here.

Also if you post your roster here the forum people’s can help suggest a defence team and some guidance on levelling future heroes

@Guvnor thanks alot.

Mainly, use all six flag even if you don’t do much damage. You can try doing cleanups (killing off teams weakened by other players) or weaken teams more for someone else to finish off. Every bit counts

If your alliance uses line or discord to coordinate attacks at all be sure to take part in the discussion. You can learn a lot about strategy for war there too.

Welcome to the forum!! You’ll find a lot of useful info here.

Just go for it and don’t sweat the first few if you don’t do well. It takes time to build 6 war teams and it takes time to organize your “alliance” to fight wars. Don’t let your mates get discouraged ( stay positive and encourage them)…a lot of people eventually find it one of the beat aspects of the game! Good luck

Can you explain significance of same colour Tanks in War please?

[m41ks4n1]

Can someone help me to understand why we should/ shouldn’t have same coloured Tanks in War, ple ase?

[Bloom609]

In theory your opponent will color stack strong against the tank. So if all of your alliance uses blue tanks your opponents will use green stacks. So hopefully they run out of green heroes. The more likely scenario have to chose between using a different color hero or a weak green hero. But since we can’t see what actually happens against our def teams it is all a guess.

[Brobb]

To make the most out of their weaker bench heroes, attackers tend to colour stack in wars, sometimes even running mono teams. If defenders offer a rainbow selection of tanks then it is very easy to target those stacks - I’ll aim my green stack at a blue tank, my blue stack at a red tank, etc.

If defenders all use the same colour tank, then that advantage disappears - I might still aim my green stack at a blue tank, but if all the tanks are blue then I’m not going to be able to aim my blue stack at a red tank, and I’m going to have to seriously consider whether I even want to run a red stack.

The disadvantage of running the same colour tanks as defenders is that inevitably some players will not be running their best tanks. If I am blessed with Guin, for example, and my alliance chooses to run blue tanks then I might be forced to use Magni. Some players get tetchy about this,
