Now that Kate Upton has a trap account, a lot of people have been asking whether or not maxing troop attacks in the skill tree is better, or maxing trap attacks 1 and 2 instead.
I decided to test this on a 76 mill power solo account. The defender has 1.3 mill T3; he used the same equipment and only changed the skill tree. I wanted to see if the skill tree made that much of a difference. Lets see what the tests say.
Most of you signed up for master will know that, the difference between which bonuses you use can drastically affect the outcomes of battles by tens of thousands of troops. This test is the perfect example of that.
The defender has maxed out Health 1 and 2 and Defense 1 and 2 and has Infantry 2, cavalry 2, ranged 2 maxed and even split on the lower troop attacks. Defender has max T3 traps and 1.287 mill T3
In this attack I wounded 169,721 T3 and he killed 141,928 of my troops. He also lost 1,963 traps.
The defender has the same setup as the first. I ran the same gear as the first test, I just went troop specific with infantry.
I wounded 193,321 and he killed 130,436. A much better performance. He also lost 2,236 traps. More than in the first test. We can obviously see that troop specific attacks work much better on solo accounts.
Max Trap Attack instead of Troop Attack.
Maxing out trap attacks actually hurt his stats. I wounded 169,721 and he killed 137,817. Roughly 4000 less troops killed. I wounded the same amount as in the 1st attack, which I expected because his health and defense didn’t change, but his troop attack was lower and the traps didn’t actually help him in this situation.
On this troop specific attack I wounded 193,321 troops and he killed 127,340. Again, it was lower by 3000 troops. On this specific trap account, it is apparent that maxing troop attacks is better than trap attack.
I think that in this situation troop attack is better than trap attack because this solo had enough troops that the traps weren’t effective at all.
One nice thing to know is that troop specific attacks do way more damage and you lose less troops.
On a smaller trap account this might be a different story though. I will test a smaller trap account in the coming days and update on how this strategy works with a smaller solo trap account.
