No to shield buster
I write this as a loyal Sims buildit player. Spend countless hours and real dollars. Sims does not care about us. We give them our time and money. And they slap us in the face, while forcing us to c...
Not only at my expense (I didn't spend any real money for disaster cards), but at the expense of thousands of people who spent millions of dollars to play a strategic game.
Will they get their money back?
It they are willing to spend millions on the game in the first place, they will jolly well spend more to upgrade shield buster to get an edge over others.
EA’s goal reached.
I think you are wrong to assume I don’t know. My magnetism is level 9, for your information.
3 ways to upgrade cards:
1. The slow and steady way. Just work hard to get many chests. Occasionally, splurge a bit on war cards from war store.
2. The bling bling way. Just use hard cash to buy all war packs and war cards in store.
3. Feeder way. The most dodgy way. Go to war at arena 5 with 9 feeders. You can get all the war parts from the repairs (last time, before shield buster was introduced). So you can afford to score 48k and more by yourself. And available targets are all for you and you only to attack.
My dear, I think you make a mistake when you think 1 active + 9 feeders will win a war.
First, my team's strategy is to topple the highest-ranking ones (probably the only asset). This already delays him.
Then we dropped one by one, always starting with the biggest ones.
If we catch a team with few assets and many feeders, we win.
Because, in theory, only the asset attacks.
Even if the asset is a giant, when he goes back, he will have to face 4 or 5 of my team. Even with accelerator III, it is impossible to turn.
He takes a beating and goes to the shield again.
Until he gets to the point that he no longer turns the war, even knocking everyone off my team.
In my team ALL ATTACK.
Good part makes 8k.
I do on average 20K.
I repeat, my team has patents between 12 and 20 mostly.
Two over 20. I'm 28.
I repeat, we won 80/20 of the wars against teams with ranks between 25 and 30.
Because our game is COLLECTIVE.
ALL HELP YOU.
No one does anything thinking about the individual.
We only lose to clubs that have giants (or hackers).
With this anti-shield *, we lost 2 to CLEARLY weaker teams than us (we didn't have this attack).
Now we have, but honestly, totally lost the grace.
As a protest, we are losing the current war with ZERO POINTS, as the attached image.
I read some war strategies above. Interesting. I have several.
But all of this anti-shield crap ended.
I repeat, with that *, there's no strategy. It hits and hits endlessly.
One person wrote about this topic THE BEST IDEA for war.
The team chooses whether to war with or without anti-shield.
On one side will compete teams with honest players and who has life.
On the other, hackers and those who have no life.
Just check out my team. The Bigger Brasil.
I am the president.
Well. Seems the way to beat the one or 2 hacker team with all feeders is to hit hit, shield bust em, and hit em again until they are bored. Bring up the guy who is the main, take him out over and over agian, and done. We left all other cities up, and wrecked him. Sure he still scored 80k alone with mags, our top did 48k. But we had 70k more to win..
They may want an actual team now... cause we all had to pitch in. Anyways. Hope this helps with that idea. One strong, rest not.
Yup, you said it. This is one of the reasons I like shield buster. It works against 1 hacker + 9 feeders team. Without shield buster, there is a limit on how much we can score from 10 cities at the start (even with movie monster as finisher). And the sole hacker, with his high level attacks, can easily make up the 30k~50k lead we had over him by attacking when our guard is down (sleeping time at CST since lots of our members are from this time zone and the ones from Europe are at work, so they cannot be looking at the phone all the time).
I had mentioned it before in another thread, Korean teams and a couple of other teams love to use the shields and time zone differences to hide in shields when most of us are active and then sneak out at the right time to get the lead. With shield buster, I doubt we will see much of these kind of teams since they got to deal with 2 sleeping periods during war if they choose to fight North American teams. And they can no longer sleep safely in the shields now lol
Welp. When a team has 3 guys with 15 mag, and one guy with 15 everything. Shield buster ain't going to help. Just a big L in the column of life
Good time for surrender button
