TH 5
The Main Idea:Army Composition:Note: This assumes that you have the maximum army size (135 housing space).
Option 1:
-- 60% Barbarians
-- 40% Archers
Option 2:-- 54 Barbarians-- 40 Archers
-- 7 Giants
-- 3 Wall Breakers
If you are trying to get loot or trophies, I recommend using option one. If you are attacking in a clan war, or aren't going for loot or trophies, I recommend using option two.
Attacking:
First Wave:--Deploy your giants, then wall breakers as close to the mortar as you can get [black dot]. Since wall breakers will attack the nearest enclosed wall [shown by black arrows], make sure that you don't deploy all of them at the same time.
Second Wave:-- Deploy your archers along the elixir collectors and army camps [blue arcs].
--Back up your archer attack with about seven barbarians to each side.
Third Wave:-- Split your remaining barbarians between the clan castle and army barracks and the gold mines [red dots].
Additional strategies / notes:
--Attacking enclosed defenses (i.e. mortars, archer towers, cannons, etc.)
--If it is on the first layer of the base (by this I mean that it is on the outside, but enclosed by walls), use the giant / wall breaker deployment strategy outlined in the TH 4 section.
-- If it is on the second+ layer of the base, you have two options.
--Use the giant / wall breaker strategy
-- Use a lightning spell first (this can damage a mortar to 1/2 or 3/4 of its hit points), then follow up with your giants and wall breakers.
Spells:
-- At TH 5, you unlock the lightning spell. My thoughts on it:
--I'm not really a huge fan, unless it involves zapping clan castle troops.
WHY?
--It cost a bit of elixir, and it doesn't really do enough damage to be "worth it" for me.
I do know that some people really like to use lightning spells, especially at lower levels. If you use them, I recommend saving them for clan wars. They help to give that little bit of extra damage you need to get more stars on an attack.
