Since many of you needed more guidance, hereโ€™s a part 2 before CWL starts.

  1. In a base, there are multiple ways you can funnel.
  • Siege Machine
  • Heroes ability
  • Troop Investment
  • Spell (e.g overgrowth, lightning spell, skelly donut โ€”for advanced players)

How Do You Choose the Right "Method"?

  • Always go for the most ๐™š๐™›๐™›๐™ž๐™˜๐™ž๐™š๐™ฃ๐™ฉ option.

A good rule of thumb: The "amount of space" you invest should be proportional to the "number of buildings" you need to clear for the funnel.

This is usually trueโ€”if everything goes well... 5 housing space for 1-2 outside building is a decent conversion for th15 and above.

  • A funnel can fail if you invest too much troop space but get baited by a well-designed base.

๐™€๐™ญ๐™–๐™ข๐™ฅ๐™ก๐™š: Using 2 E-Drags (60 troop space) to funnel but only clearing 4 buildings because of a Tesla farm and outside Air Mines.

On the other hand, using too few troops without a backup plan can cause your army to wander around the base instead of heading inside the funnel.

Here are Funneling Troop Examples:

1-3 buildings: Super Barbarians, Sneaky Goblins, Baby Dragon, Valkyrie, etc.

  • These are great options if you aren't using 2 super troops at once, it's also the best option if you already have them in the composition such as Super barbs & Valkyrie on root rider attacks.

Several buildings: Yeti, Baby Dragon, E-Drag.

Yeti โ€“ Ideal for funneling well-defended areas that other troops can't handle. Yeti โ€“ Can also be used to snipe an outside defense while clearing buildings.

E-Drag โ€“ Avoid using if buildings have too much gap between them. (No chain value) E-Drag โ€“ Always test with a Balloon first before dropping.

A general tip is to consider that outside gaps (2 tiles wide) may have a hidden Tesla, and if that were to appear, What should be your backup plan?

This is even more important at higher TH levels.

Key Defenses to Prioritize: (๐™‰๐™ค๐™ฉ ๐™ง๐™–๐™ฃ๐™ ๐™š๐™™)

  1. Eagle Artillery
  2. Firespitter
  3. Monolith
  4. Scattershot
  5. Inferno Tower
  6. Merged Defenses
  7. X-Bow (For lower TH levels)
  8. Special Scenario: Town Hall (TH12 & above only)

While taking out these defenses isn't always necessary when making funnels, it's always a bonus if your heroes manage to do so.

  1. The King died early, but that was fine for this attack.
  2. He created a huge funnel on the left while taking out an X-Bow, Ricochet Cannon, and the enemy RC.
  3. On the right, the Queen and Siege Barracks troops cleared the path and will take down the Scattershot compartment. ๐™๐™ช๐™ฃ๐™ฃ๐™š๐™ก ๐™จ๐™š๐™˜๐™ช๐™ง๐™š๐™™+๐™ข๐™–๐™Ÿ๐™ค๐™ง ๐™™๐™š๐™›๐™š๐™ฃ๐™จ๐™š๐™จ ๐™™๐™ค๐™ฌ๐™ฃ

  4. With the funnel set, the main army should be deployed. (In the picture, the deployment was slightly delayedโ€”๐™ฅ๐™๐™ค๐™ฉ๐™ค๐™จ ๐™–๐™ง๐™š ๐™›๐™ค๐™ง ๐™ง๐™š๐™›๐™š๐™ง๐™š๐™ฃ๐™˜๐™š๐™จ ๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™ก๐™ฎ.)

The same funneling is applied, but this time with dragons.

Iโ€™m tempted to make a video for a more comprehensive breakdown in live attacks, but Iโ€™m not sure if most of you would prefer that over this format (pictures & writing). Let me know what you think in the comments! Your feedback would be highly appreciated.
