Weekly Update (May 26th) - Valkyrie

 

Town Hall Level 12 - Week 19

Home Village

Trophies : 3,648 (+63)  (Champions League II)

Here's the latest update after the nineteenth week following the TH12 upgrade.  The trophies are up again for the second week in a row but still some way to go for another promotion.  I also have a backlog of updates completing in the next 2 days (5 of them!) so the resource crunch is on again.

Luckily there is a one gem resource boost available for the next few days so I will try to max that out.  I'm still grinding through the archer towers, cannons and mortars as all three need a double upgrade at TH12.

Here's what the base looks like right now.

Current Upgrades in Progress

Barbarian King - Leve 52

Cannon - Level 17

Cannon - Level 17

Archer Tower - Level 16

Cannon - Level 17

Mortar - Level 12

Hero Levels

Archer Queen - Level 57 

Grand Warden - Level 30 (+1)

Barbarian King - Level 50 

Wall Upgrades Remaining - 184 (No Change)

The barbarian king is under upgrade again so I've left the other two heroes for this week.  The gems are low and there's no book of heroes in clan games this time around.  So it's time to upgrade the heores one at a time and just wait it out for now.  

The three star attacks on the base have stopped (at least for the last 4 days).  All the defenses around the TH are finally maxed out so that might be the reason.  Also, I've kept the resources a little lower so I'm less of a target right now.  

The Ice Golems are upgraded and I'm working on the barbarians now.  The barbs are useful when using the barbarian king's ability so it makes sense to have the highest level available as they get used in each attack (same for archers for the Queen).

I've been trying the following attack strategy : 5 Ice Golems, 10 witches and 10 bowlers.  Then 7 bat spells and 4 freeze spells.  I put a yeti and a rage spell in the wall breaker as the siege machine troops.  This is working 'ok'.  It Generally gets a two star result but I need more practice to perfect the strategy.

Builder Base

Trophies :  3,317 (-54)  Steel League III

Not much progress on the trophy front this week.  Now that the healing hut is complete I'm adding the other reinforcement camp plus upgrading the Builder Hut to level 10.  This will unlock some new defenses and troops that should get me up the league a little. 

The troop upgrades are still on hold while I add the other buildings to the base.  Therefore, I'm using baby dragons and cannon carts as the attack strategy.  The special ability on the cannon cart is very useful if you can judge the distances correctly.

Dark Elixir Troops - TH12

This week we are going to take a closer look at the Valkyrie and the upgrades available  at TH12.  At this TH level, the valkyrie can be upgraded to level 7.  The improvement in stats is shown below.

Level 7

Damage Per Second (DPS) : 163 + 15 = 178

Hit points (HP)  1,500 + 150 = 1,650

The total upgrade value points or UVP (increase in DPS + increase HP) = (15+150) = 165

This upgrade costs 123,000 Dark Elixir or 745 per upgrade value point

Remember, we assume that Dark Elixir is worth 100x regular elixir based on the rate that it is produced at TH12.  Therefore the UVP for the valkyrie at these levels is

Level 7 = 75K

Our updated list would look as follows.

Dragon                  13K / UVP

E-Dragon              14K / UVP

Giant                     24K / UVP

Yeti                       24K / UVP

PEKKA                 39K / UVP

Loons.                   41K / UVP

Baby Dragon        57K / UVP

Miners                  62K / UVP 

Valkyrie                75K / UVP

Hog Rider (8)       89K / UVP

Hog Rider (9)       181K / UVP

Wizard                  185K / UVP

Barb                      193K / UVP

Minons                 1,050 / UVP 

Archer                   900K / UVP

Next week, we'll take a look at the mighty Golem and see where she should fit in your upgrade plans.

Until then
