Arrows are useful because you have a natural wall bonus already. If you have a moat and add flaming arrows on your wall you are protected by 3 bonuses but the attacker can only bring 2 different kinds of tools per wave. He may completely wipe out two of those bonuses, but you will always have the third one. If you dont have a moat, I believe the attacker can only bring one kind of tool per wave. So he still has to choose between mantlets and ladders.

Believe it or not, but assuming the attacker only uses regular tools as well, your best option is:

3x burning arrows + 1x sharpened stakes.
Worst case: the attacker comes with 6 ladders, 9 bundles, reducing your wall and moat bonus to 0%. Your melee soldiers will fight at 100% of their strength, your rangers at 175%. If your melee/ranged ratio is 50/50, that means you get an average advantage of 37,5%.

The worst case scenarios for the other tool settings are: +15%, +12,5%, +25% (from most to least stones). Again, assuming only regular attack tools.

But dont think this is the one perfect defense. 18 ironcast mantlets or 12 shield walls will bring your rangers to 0% leaving your melee fighters exposed to possibly a pure ranged attack.

The one thing you can spend rubies on without regret is defense tools from the armourer in my opinion. You dont have to put them on your walls right away and waste them on minor attacks but it's good to have them just in case...

i use 50 each flank i use only long bow men and halberdiers but if you have research tower you should get veteran soldiers they are the best you can buy and you should have stone throwing in 2 slots o one flank with one flaming arrows then the other flank use 2 flaming arrows and one slot but make the one with more flaming arrows put more ranged defenders and more melee defenders in the other and if you have a moat use moat tools and if you want you can use like 1000 dummys so if some one spys on you they think you have so many defenders they dont attack or if they are really strong they send a lot and you lose terribly hop this helped

If you use the 50/0/50 defense should you waste stone throwings and castle gate reinforcements in that slot?

[1382030] xJadetsssx [None] :: Aug. 29, 2012, 1:45 a.m.

yes, you do waste those tools

[1722317] SomakanthiGamer [None] :: March 13, 2014, 10:45 p.m.

Ok if u are not a ruby player u must have one flank 65% melee and 35% ranged, defend one side because its a pain if u are defending all three. Right now u are in level 39 or something so u may need to level up to get to the moat but get their and fill the moat with spikes.

That's all for now

100/0/0 or 0/0/100 is the only thing that you should ever use. With 80/20 m/r ratio. With moat tools and rocks.

[1851507] Obelix. [None] :: Sept. 23, 2014, 7:42 a.m.

attacks coming through the wall 50/0/50 but a castle bailiff 90/90 with arrows in each field and moat

everything is ruby tool

him that attack comes ogsaå with 90/90 with very ruby Tool

but he gets +30

[1851609] Barnacleez (US1) [None] :: Sept. 23, 2014, 6:16 p.m.

0-100-0, 100-0-0, and 0-0-100 are the best ways. On the 100, put 80-90% melee and every tool you have, because melee troops cannot be weakened.

[1851630] Obelix. [None] :: Sept. 23, 2014, 8:01 p.m.

OK I'm trying. but they are many ruby shields with

[1851633] Highness Ho (GB1) [None] :: Sept. 23, 2014, 8:15 p.m.

of course changing the setting depending on he attack is what to do but when offline go for a 0-0-100 or 100-0-0

as a level 50 trying to defend against level 70 players they say try to hold 2 flanks cant be done as most large levels do fill up each flank they attack in and they bring shield walls and manlets tat zero out any ranged defence you have so your left with defending 1 flank left or right and with 100% melee defenders because like i said they zero out your ranged defense also where are the tools to increase melee defense power for each flank if any one can tell me please let me know

Make same set up as every ruby buyer only use ruby tools insted or armourer.If you cannot afford to buy ruby tools that means you aren`t looting and you aren`t playing this game right.You get around 20 rubies per tower in ice (for lower levels without fire and sands) so if you hit 5 towers a day and get rubies from 3 of them thats over 400 rubies per week.Then if you unlock sand map you can hit forts that gives 280 rubies each.

00-00-100,75m/25r.Tar pitch kettle in two slots(4 min),bulwarks in one slot(4min.),thats for one section of wall,of course one where you put troops.
Melee castellan with highest melee bonus you can make.
