Anybody know what it is? It came with today's update.

Well, I think it is time to determine the time when the war ends, and keep enough umbrellas. with only one city to protect with 3 umbrellas III is enough, you can just decide the player that can say: I'll be on at the end to umbrella myself. Repairing your city can be difficult (randomly needing about 12 nails), so it is better to use an umbrella at the final if you're winning (which are useful in the game again, am I the only one happy about that? LOL), I know that Buster can destroys umbrellas, so probably you need to freeze the player online in their side... but... Buster destroys the timer when bustered you, or... unless they heal you and then attack you again, Buster shouldn't destroys umbrellas IMO... ☹️

@teppum wrote:@lesorsier wrote:@teppumIt is confirmed, we just did it. Last minute knockdown, and we won. (We was losing on points)... As I said, cheaters can be beaten this way. Millions of points is not enough anymore.And vice-versa, you can lose at the end, even if you are winning with points.Cheaters yes.Genuine active players too... So a club can be inactive until the end and then win. This is exactly the same as the previous issue, where a club would be very active at the start, then hide under the dome for the remainder of the war. It is just in reverse.Not sure EA have got that aspect of the KO feature right at all!I disagree, getting too complicated tbh, this is not exactly the same thing, not even near, you need to be active the whole war if you don't want to be knock out, the last issue was they stayed bubble with no movement the whole war, but here if you don't repair and go out in 4 hours you're done, so, no more feeders club with 9 sleeping cities, this for both teams, the difference is that the timer is short in the end, but very easy to solve just using an umbrella, or just you team beign there, why not? as I said, If the hardest thing is in the end, simply start the war, so that when it is over, it will be daytime in your country, and you will be there. it is even more important than the beginning, so you are not so interested in being present when the attack phase begins, with a single player that you put there in about 4 hours is enough, for example the attack phase can start at 4am, but not problem if you all are offline, at 8 am you can repair and start the fun there (if the timer is 5 hours to knock out). So the beginning isn't that, it's not that important, just arrange your war to be at the end, but, you still need to be fighting the whole war because you can be surprised anyways. Obviously teams are getting knock out easily right now because is a new thing and they are learning how it works, but give them a few weeks and everyone will have prepared and you will realize that it is not so easy to defeat a team (especially high arenas) and you will have to be smart to knock them out.you don't even need to get stressed leaving all the cities green to avoid a knock out, just leave a single city 13/14 buildings repaired still bubbled, have the repair requirement ready, and at the last 10 minutes, repair, and use an umbrella, freeze someone you see attacked recently, or have a Pump I,II,III or looks like is online in their side, if they Shield Buster you, they're actually doing you a favor, use a second umbrella then too, if a player was defeated (was not enough), analyze, correct, and the next war prepare at least 3 players online at the end, all to use umbrellas in the same city, same method.I honestly don't understand what the drama is with this new ruleplease, in a club with 20 active players or more, anyone can repair in less than 5 hours. If your war ends at dawn when everyone sleeps, it was your fault for not knowing how to manage the time to start the war. If you can't be online at the end even when its daytime, then your club belongs to a lower Arena, where you can fight another club who takes the game more relaxed just like your club. The reward is just 10 cash per Arena so isn't that bad

@BlazinsZ Yup, I kind of predicted that my most recent opponent would aim to get the win through knockdown while we were leading. And frustratingly, they really did that when I saw 4 of them getting out of shield at the same time and focused on putting us in shields instead of maximizing points. And we only had 5 cities out of shields. It was real easy to shield all of us with 3x energy.And that was the time where more than half of my team was sleeping. Good thing that I had 2 teammates around to help with the freezing and umbrellas. And we managed to hold the fort and won the war. I can say this is the case of outwitting them when they tried to pull a fast one over us. Umbrellas do deter legit enemies from attacking because1. they need shield buster and this attack needs lots of gas cans. And like you had said, the enemy needs a lot more attacks to shield a city When using shield buster. It is not as easy as attacking an open city.2. Many players still don’t know that shield buster can bust the umbrella lol (it’s a gamble, but easy to tell if they know by observing whether they use umbrellas beforehand).Btw, very good point about using umbrella the second time after SB.Moving on, I know that we must change how we play the game and start war at a different time. We were lucky that there were only 4 of them attacking at end of instead of all 10. Otherwise, it was much harder to hold them off with only 3 of us active at that time. And I was left with 5 activations at that point in time.Now, it is not only about jackpots and duds. Umbrella and freeze proved to be useful again.

I have good and bad news. The good one is nothing has been spoiled, after those regions and their lots of items suffocating our inventories, the OP shield buster leaving freezes, duds and umbrellas totally pointless and purposeless pet of Dr. Vu's, it is quite common to be scared for new updates, the good thing is, there is nothing unbalanced and to regret. The bad new? the new '' feature '' is boring as h. they are simply 6 targets that appear, if you want you can attack them, without any purpose of course, but you can do it if you want, only with certain disasters, but nothing more. you cannot use jackpots on them, in such a way that it is a waste of items to attack them, since it is not profitable, and it is also uncomfortable to eliminate them using only one type of disaster, that is, they are a new ornament for wars. I took the trouble to destroy several, looking for the items for each disaster, in the end you only get normal points (no jackpot) and that's it, the war is over and there is not even a reward for having destroyed them.it is more than evident, that the creators have not realized, that with a single jackpot, you can attack one city, using Shield buster, then attack, then shield buster again, then another attack, and make more than 20000 points depending on the levels and players online, nobody needs 1 wasp with 1300 points to give lol! If we need more points we buster with jackpot. Wave goodbye to Clubs hiding under the Shield!? are the developers in the 2018? Hello? Clubs hidden in the shield ceased to exist in the shield buster update, oh my god. However, it has been the best update, not for the wasp, but for the x2 and x3 in the deliveries, that has been really nice from the creators.

Just finished our first war with the Killer Hornets. I mean V.U.S.P.s. It is stupid, but not as pointless as the monster.In our war, they appeared with 9 hours to go in the war. There were 4 on each side of the map just off each coast. You can attack any of the 8, with only one particular attack for each. You can use jackpot, umbrella or dud on them. Once they were dead (same health as a city, 14 in region 5), they stayed on screen but stayed dead to the end of the war.If I am out of shield busters and all opponents are under shield, I might hit one. There is no other reason to, that I could tell.Do not waste your boosters. You will get more points from any regular target, so don’t jackpot. If your enemy uses a jack, save your umbrella or dud to protect your club. They can’t use 2 attacks anyway, they already got one shot in and your mostly wasting the dud. Better, throw an attack in of your own, steal some of those double points.Im still curious what they mean by knocking out an opponent. No clues yet as to that.Last thing, what is the acronym? It’s killing me. First word is clearly Vu. Unusually Sized Pests? Like the ROUS in the Fire Swamp?We did lose this war. Then I discovered the worst change. Losing side cities only get 250 war coins now instead of 500. This is terrible and only helps make the rich richer. Honestly, they can’t even spot you one lousy booster for the next war. Seems like a devious plan by EA to get more people buying SimCash. It will not work-I’m done with that. Balance the contests better somehow, don’t kill the fun by putting us in a huge hole for the next war. The matches against cheaters are bad enough.

What is Avg.V.U.S.P score and possibility to knockout opponent clubs?

@lesorsier I think EA is going to have to answer this one!

VU Under Shield Points

The new VUSP is under shield points? Is that points you score or scored against you while under. And I think I read players would be removed. Just wondering what the criteria would meet for that to happen.

Hi @tykeemm - I moved your post to the existing thread on this. It seems you're not the only one with the question 🙂

I feel like the Update Notes weren't super informative, either 😃

Hi Mayors,

Doctor Vu has been releasing more of his inventions to the wild, making Club Wars even more buzzworthy!

Club Wars are now also more dynamic with a possibility to knock out opponent Clubs.

Wave goodbye to Clubs hiding under the Shield!

Thanks for playing!

It seems like it probably has something to do with Club Wars, Dr Vu, and maybe destroying shields? Like @0n3lyf34Lyf3 said - Vu Under Shield Points, or maybe the VU = Vu, so it's just Vu Shield Points? They said Dr Vu is releasing "more of his inventions" so maybe there's something new to use? 🤔

Hopefully, when some of the mayors figure it out, they'll stop by here and explain it.

Whatever it is, it is broken already....
The only new disaster we need is some anti cheat attack....

Does this mean opponents only attack the bees which means not get war items from repairs and we got to rely on war deliveries the reason why the war deliveries now give up to 3 items? I knew it was too good and was something behind this! Unless of course once all the bees are killed off then they attack opponents' cities but still end up with fewer war items. But they already have done this with the SB right?

Thanks for posting. We will find out in 19 hrs if the game will now be completely broken with cheaters scoring millions of points. Adding shield buster was a huge mistake and massively affected game balance. This game will never be the same again. Shield busters should only be allowed up to 4th arena where there is a lot of inactive clubs.
