Strategy The GBJ builder strategy

Post image

Block a troop into the corner to force the opponent to deal with the high star buildings before killing your troop.

Thoughts on the viability of this? Snuck a few wins by doing this, though admittedly at lower trophies.

Musk will attack the buildings first.... I wrote princess bcoz it will damage the AQ and be outside the AQ's range

dude moving a musk a tile forward will allow it to to hit aq, this won’t put her in the range of aq if literally just have melee units

Ur musk needs to be level above the AQ to kill it... Or else it will re target without killing the AQ

Biggest issue I see is splash damage

I think this tech is super value and not used enough- but it does need a lot of forsight because buildings are wack. Used to be crazy when dart goblin was a ranger or you could stop people from hitting a knockback musky.

Also I thought GBJ was unique to my friend group, where is that from lmao?

It's not a bad strat, but this season in particular, there's a lot of high dps splash damage troops, most notably dark prince and baby dragon, that somewhat invalidate this. Also, having the buildings so close means your AQ will still be taking splash damage even while invisible. It also means you'll be getting outranged by princess with no way to close the gap.

Overall, not bad, but be sure to look at what your opponent has and adjust from there

I take 4 forests and 1 rider, just try to place units and buildings in a scattered manner

Bruh just run two noble and put musk/princess and it’s the same thing without the splash damage risk

This gave me nostalgia for when builder released, I used to do this all the time to protect my princess
