SIX UNKNOWN CLASH OF CLANS TECHNIQUES, GUIDES, TIPS, AND HACKS

These are my self learned rules that I am not sure if everybody know. Well, everyone has their own opinions based on their experiences, and this one's based on mine and found very effective in playing clash of clans. Here are the top six unique techniques I swear by in winning the game;

1. Greater in Numbers is Better than Greater in Types of Troops

Limit the "types" of troops you are using to 4 or 5 and then make many of them. Troops work best when they are greater in numbers. For example, 30 hogs then 17 wizards in a 220 capacity army camp can likely gain more stars than a combination of more troops. It proves the saying there is POWER in NUMBERS. But combine intelligently, don't be ridiculous in filling your  army camp with all healers and wallbreakers in it...lol

2. Upgrade Inner Walls First

Most of the time, attackers already had wallbreakers with them so that means most of the time the first line of walls would only get crushed by the wallbreakers. The inner layers of walls will truly serve their purpose if they are upgraded because that's the only time giants, barbarians and other troops would try to defeat the walls to get to their next target. That will definitely buy your defenses' time to kill the attacker's troops before getting into your storages or townhall.

3. Holes in the Walls are Fantastic

Open holes in your walls are the best for funneling and great when you doesn't have enough walls. I see some level 7 attacked by level 8 or 9 but can't get their loots because of those open holes with traps in them.

4. Xbow Positioning

How should you position your xbow? You should not put all of your xbow in air and land defense mode. It is weakest when put in air and land defense. You cannot put both in land defense mode only as you are at risk from air attackers. For me, the best position to do this is to have one in land mode and the other one in air & land mode. Well, that's for me, since I got two xbows. If ever you only got one, just put it in land mode. Why? Because that is when it is at its advantage, for long range attack, you got air defenses anyway.

5. Clan War Participation

Clan war ranking and participation were determined by one's trophy count. There are times wherein your clan lacks 2 or 3 members to be able to accommodate everyone in the clan wars. I was town hall 7 on my 2nd account so I thought that I am automatically included in the war because most of the other members were only town hall 6. I was wrong; I was not included because their trophies were higher than mine. LOL

6. Look for Bank Accounts

Remember last Halloween wherein you get tombstones and when you "clean" them up, you will get 75,000 worth of elixirs? How about last Christmas, wherein you will get Christmas trees worth 75,000 gold with gifts under them that are worth 5,000 elixirs each. These are treasures from what I so-called Bank Accounts. Don't clean them up yet if you will not use them right away. These loots can't get stolen from you if not yet "cleaned". So the technique is to reserve them for future need.

     
    

THL T100S review (after 4 months of usage)

I believe the most reliable review one can give is after one has used the product for more than a month. Due to high raves about THL T100s before, I was swayed to buy the product. I was quiet hesitant because my boyfriend owns an Ainol tablet (which was distributed by Novo7tech) and after 4 months it malfunctioned and easily gets hot and easily gets battery drained. Knowing that my boyfriend is so meticulous when it comes to his gadgets made me think that the product itself is not well-built. That made me think that Novo7tech is selling cheap but low class products. Well, I still pursued buying the THL T100s  because of the cheap price for an octacore plus the 13 MP for both front and rear camera. Let me give my own review about THL T100s.

Let me provide you first with the complete specifications;

• Display: 5 inch full HD display using OGS (One Glass Solution)
• Processor: 1.7 GHz MT6592 True Octa-Core with Mali-450 GPU
• RAM: 2GB
• Android: 4.2
• Wi-Fi: 802.11 b/g/n
• Cellular: 2G – GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz and 3G – WCDMA 850/2100 MHz
• Connectivity: Bluetooth, GPS, NFC
• Cameras: 13 Megapixel Rear Camera with flash + 13 Megapixel Front-Facing Camera
• Battery Size: 2300mAh
• Storage: 32GB and a microSD slot with support for another 64GB
• Dimensions: 144 x 70 x 9mm (L x W x D)
• Weight: 147g

I will not go in detail about the features as there are lots of reviews online that will supply you that. I'll just give you the "thumbs up" and "thumbs down" of this phone.

THUMBS UP:

• 32 GB of Storage: One thing I liked about this is the storage, Not all Octacore phones has 32GB of Storage. You might find some but those phones won't let you put an expansion memory card.
• Display: I appreciate the display specially when I play games, It was crisp and clear, it almost made my gaming experience like heaven
• Battery: The battery is 2300Mah. It might sound small but believe me, it will surprise you as it lasts me more than a day, and that includes playing clash of clans, browsing the internet and listening to music. You also gotta take in mind that this runs an octacore, so having this phone to last more than a day is already superb.
• Camera: The camera is good but not excellent. It produces great pictures when I use apps like DSLR. The pictures looks crisp and very vivid but when I zoom them in, it looks blah. Let me provide you a sample:

This looks fantastic right? But look at the next picture when I zoomed it in

It looks bloody and messy.












Anyway, I put the camera feature on thumbs up since it still look gorgeous when not zoomed..Heehee




THUMBS DOWN:

• Not durable: Yeah. It is first on my list of thumbs down since this part really made up the majority of my disappointment in buying this phone. When I bought this I noticed on the bottom part that there is like a hardened glue which made me think that maybe the rough part on the sides of the phone were just glued. In the 2nd month, the charger malfunctioned then in the 3rd month the charging port became loose. In the fourth month, the charging port no longer functions so I have to take it to their technician.
• It is only Octacore by name but not by its Function: There were times while using this phone that it will hang even if I am only browsing or only playing clash of clans. By the way, I don't have high-end games installed on my phone.

THE VERDICT:

I had headaches with this phone. I am not used to high end phones. The previous phone I owned was Starmobile. My Starmobile phone doesn't have those high end features but that lasts for 3 years without any problem! I am really disappointed. That made me think that all phones Novo7Tech was selling were low-class since this is the second product we got from them that easily gets broken. Well, this is one MAJOR lesson learned. Anyway, who would need a phone with super mega features if that phone is not working?  :))
