[Strategy] Ideal Small War Clan – Min / Maxing War Weight
TLDR: Optimizing war weight to maximize war star potential while minimizing enemy star potential.
I’ve been playing Clash Royale for years, but finally got sick of it and came back to Clash of Clans after a 5+ year break. While I slowly upgrade my TH 10 base, I was wondering if the following mini-war-clan idea may work or if there are any errors in the reasoning. I used to have a 1-cannon defenseless max dragon TH 7 base and think I may be able to replicate that on the clan-scale for 5-player wars. By only upgrading the troops you plan to use in war, you can further minimize each base’s war weight. My theory is that because each player gets 2-attacks, using minimal town hall level & rushed bases on your lower clan bases may create a matchup mismatch where the enemy clan is forced to try to 3-star your upper bases that are 1 or 2 townhalls above the strongest enemy base. At the same time, your upper 1-2 players can easily 3-star the top 4 opponent bases. A lot of this is theory crafting if the idea will even work in practice. —————————————————————————————————————————————
Overall Strategy:
Maximize offensive & defensive power while minimizing overall war weight matchup.
Balance between the following:
1- Max level main account: donor, not involved in war besides donating attacking troops. Does not impact war weight.
2- Higher level: defensive war donating, attacking top ranked opponent bases, max defense to deny 3-star attacks.
3- Rushed X.5 bases: that can 3-star and be 3-starred, upgrade only attacking war army to minimize war weight.
4- Filler: Town hall level 1.5 bases with almost no defense that are almost guaranteed 3-stars.
Ideal Matchup: Enemy clan that can 3 star all bases except for the top 1-3 maxed defense bases. My top defense bases can easily 3-star most enemy bases without wasting any attacks. Any remaining bases can be cleaned up by rushed X.5 bases.
This is the potential 2021 equivalent to defenseless single cannon town hall 7 players with max dragon attacks.—————————————————————————————————————————————

5-Player War Clan A:Summary:
Fastest setup clan & lowest cost. Should be guaranteed 6 stars in a matchup plus some stars from the 4 minimal accounts with high level baby dragons or balloons in the clan castle attacking. Probably will lose with all 4 Town hall level 1.5 accounts being 3-starred if they are attacked.

Replace 1 filler TH 1.5 base with a second TH 6.5 base to guarantee 12 stars.
