Everyone wars different, I kind of like Zachs theory, only sp if they are winning 80% or more of their hits and pest the high plunderers.
If you're top 5, start the war with empty? Ah the surprise to see you dtw from the start. Sp and let your lower rank clubbies to gain plunder. At this time, youre no longer the top target since op are now targeting the top plunderers. Use 1dn then farm while youre chillin and relaxing. ? Now that that is out ill never join the beta wars again. ?
Imo it's better to shield. They waste their energy on you while the rest of the club work on pinning them which would be easier since theyre targetting you. Notice I said shield not leak. shield is when you defend more than go thru. If most hits are going through, i would sp and pest their most active/top plunderers.
don't sp unless your gonna dn... Last war we attacked oppo by plunder.. Hit them from top to bottom. I used two dn... We won Mostly fights...we had dance SO SP YES IF YOU USE A DN Did it twice
2hrs war differs from 12,24,48 hrs war. And every war has different leaders to lead. According to situation different strategies applies. Whether u r losing/winning. SP or not to SP depends on ur team leader or urself to judge. Most plunder wins.
If you are the top person in your club and they are failing on you then don't sp. If you are leaking though then sp is the way to go.
