Proper Defense Set-up
(To be updated soon)
- The preferred defensive alignment is 100-0-0 (or 0-0-100) but 50-0-50 is also very effective against smaller attacks.
- If you are online when an attack is incoming, the smartest thing to do is to align your set-up to counter their attack set-up. For example: Player X is attacking you with 50 troops in the left flank, 75 troops in the frontal, and 25 troops in the right flank. The best alignment to have in this situation would be 66-0-34. This set-up should put enough troops in each flank to defeat 75 of the attackers troops off the bat. The other 75 that were in the frontal section will move on to the keep to battle ALL of your remaining troops. It will also give them the -30% bonus in the keep, giving you an even bigger advantage.

With veteran or higher level defenders and fully-built walls, it is often a good idea to try the 0-100-0 defense set-up. This is something we could further test and look at our results.

how defense tools work
- Only 1 tool per slot can be used per wave when being attacked. Whether you have 1 or 100 of the same tool, it will make no difference. Since a maximum of 4 waves may be sent, it is a good idea to have at least 4 tools in each slot at all times, and an even better idea to keep 12-16 in case of multiple attacks on your castle.
- You should always be building more tools. Every time you log on, make it your first priority.
