𝙁𝙪𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙂𝙪𝙞𝙙𝙚 – 𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙩 2 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝘽𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙧'𝙨 (Longer review)

Since many of you needed more guidance, here’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 —for advanced players)

How Do You Choose the Right "Method"?

• Always go for the most 𝙚𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩 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 true—if everything goes well... 5 housing space for 1-2 outside building is a decent conversion for th15 and above.

𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙄𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙁𝙪𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙡 𝙁𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙨?

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

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

E-Drag – Avoid using if buildings have too much gap between them. (No chain value) E-Drag – 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?

𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩’𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙁𝙪𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙏𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙥? There is no "best" troop—it depends on the base. However, Wizards and Baby Dragons are the most universal choices of all.

𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙎𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙐𝙨𝙚 𝙃𝙚𝙧𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙁𝙪𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜? - Every hero should have a clear role in your attack, not just be used randomly without a goal. - Heroes are crucial to most attacks, and letting them die early without value is a waste and could lead to a fail.

𝙎𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙤 𝙧𝙤𝙡𝙚𝙨:

When heroes are used for funneling, they should also take down a 𝙠𝙚𝙮/𝙢𝙖𝙟𝙤𝙧 𝙙𝙚𝙛𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙚 along the way before they die but preferably keeping them alive is a nice touch.

This is even more important at higher TH levels.

Key Defenses to Prioritize: (𝙉𝙤𝙩 𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙠𝙚𝙙)

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. 𝙁𝙪𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙡 𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙙+𝙢𝙖𝙟𝙤𝙧 𝙙𝙚𝙛𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝙙𝙤𝙬𝙣

4. With the funnel set, the main army should be deployed. (In the picture, the deployment was slightly delayed—𝙥𝙝𝙤𝙩𝙤𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙧𝙚𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮.)

Same principle: clear the edges and enter the middle. In this case, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙪𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙡 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙤𝙣 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙤 𝙚𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙥𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩. Fireball helped the Warden clear the right flank.Queen’s Giant Arrow cleared the left flank.

This created a clear path for the main army to reach the core where King's earthquake boots will be used.

𝙇𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙥𝙝𝙤𝙩𝙤:

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

The heroes didn’t dive toward major defenses but instead 𝙘𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙗𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙮 𝙨𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙧𝙚.

𝙉𝙤𝙩𝙚: This method doesn’t apply to every base. This is just the basics of funnel but it works to MOST bases.

I’m tempted to make a video for a more comprehensive breakdown in live attacks, but I’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.
