Why would the giants just go attack the opponents statue? Assuming the giant masser turtled, then the ninjas wouldn't last long.


I'm gonna do 3 tests with a friend sometime, I'd have max Shadows, he'd have max Giants, we would both have no Resilence, Middle Tower, Passive Income, Miner Hustle, and Miner Walls, the 2nd test will be the same except my Shadows will have Shinobi 1, the final 3rd test would be the same, but my Shadows would have Shinobi 2. All our units would be perfectly lined up so the experiment would be perfect.

Giant spam is a brilliant way to counter shadowrath spam. Giants stun them so their speed is irrevant, and it takes a lot of shinobi to down a giant, and it gets harder when giants are in a mass.

If you can't afford a giant yet, though, invest heavily into archers and raged-up swordwrath. Think about it.


Hi reader,

1 problem.... Shadowrath run past them with Shinobi attack statue, before you know it your dead... never fails even with 3 Castle Archidons, 2 Walls, Resliance, and 11 Giants at base...

Actually, I stopped like 15 ninjas rushing at my statue with 3 castles, 2 walls, and resilience. They did like 1/10 of the damage. Also, I had like 2 albows with blazing bolts.

If that's a glitch, they need to fix it.

Fix it indeed. Because I'm not going to make a new strategy based on some stupid Shinobi rushing past me. Say, why don't I try spamming SHADOWWRATH. I'll try it on Grass Hills.

True, if the enemy knows your strategy, he can either make a better version of it, or counter it with a different strategy.

Spamming Shadowrath, the only problem there is how expensive they are. 450 Gold and 150 mana is a lot, if you think of it.

The shadowrath massers had spoiled the real identity of Shadowrath: Assasinate the enemy and get rid of spellcasters. Anyways, I just used 1 shadowrath to destroy one's economy.

Well, a good way to counter it, get castle archer, at least level 2, get some albowtross, walls, statue resilience and take the middle when you have several albowtross. They can't attack your air, so they will most likely run to your statue, which they will die from the castle archers & walls(you may need to also attack with your miners as well).

Well, I've never encountered this but I guess you should probably make 2 Walls and a few Castle Archers. Maybe a Magikill. Also, ShadowWrath take a long time to load, so you should be able to attack him before he has enough.

I just fought someone using ninja/archer spam with me using albows+2 giants. I had the middle, ghost giant 2, and basically forced him to perma garrison. Yet he seemed to be able to refresh his troops (prob had passive income) It was basically a stalemate. he had enough firepower to insta kill a giant, but decided to charge my statue. I had already bought a magikill and walls so his shadowwrath died. But im sure if he fought against me with his army I would have lost. Them archers:O
