Clash of Clans Best Attacking Techniques For Winners

The troops you need to choose for a battle in Clash of Clans

A significant advantage Clash of Clans offers its players is the possibility to choose the troops they want to fight with. Before doing that, you should decide what you need more. Trophies or resources?

If you need to keep your resources high, then you should go in a battle with the archers and the goblins. Air lunches, guns, and other defenses can be destroyed by this troops as well. There is not always need for the big ones. If gaining trophies is not your primary goal, then you can sprinkle in some barbarians as well, but only go with archers and goblins. Many of them.

If you are a trophies hunter, then the town hall should be in your sight. You can find it at the center of the village in the game. In order to destroy walls and defend yourself, you should have significant amounts of wall breakers and giants, in order for your plan to work. Barbarians and archers can support a bit of the fight too.

How can you choose the best opponent?

Now that you know what resources to use and where to aim for each type of goal, now it is time to choose your opponent. Before going into a battle head straight, you should take a look at the village of your enemy and see how it was built and how pronounced it is. Besides that, you should use a barbarian or an archer to test if donated forces can be found in the castle. If the enemy village is better built than yours and it uses stronger defense, maybe you should search for a different one as you will not get a victory in a battle with this enemy.

Take a look at these Clash of Clans tips and tricks:

Google Camera 6.1.009.215420794 Won’t Allow One Missed Moment

Those of you that really do not like to lose a chance to make a permanent memory or who think way too often ‘wish I had a camera with me’ would really like this app. Google Camera 6.1.009.215420794 is the latest version of Google Camera and it will allow you to immortalize fantastic photos through using neat features, such as Smartburst or HDR+.

Since we mentioned them, let’s fully explore the subject. Here are the features which will make Google Camera a worthy app for you.

First and foremost, we mentioned HDR+. This function will take photographs to the next level and it will let you take fantastic ones even if you find yourself in an environment with low lighting or in backlit scenes. For sure, this feature will make you happy.

Then, we also mentioned Smartburst and that happened for a reason. You can activate this feature by holding down your phone’s shutter button in order to automatically capture not one, but a stream of photo and it will even allow you to make moving images in the form of GIFs – we think that you have probably heard about them.

Video Stabilization is another cool feature coming with Google Camera and it will help you with capturing some exceptionally smooth videos even if your hands don’t seem to stop from shaking. Next we have Photosphere, which, as the name hints, will allow you to make some immersive spherical photos.

You can now add an elegant background blur (bokeh) to close-up pictures through Lens Blur. Last but not least, Slow Motion is an impressive feature which will enable you to capture videos in epic slow motion (some supported devices can go up to 240 fps). Since the latest Google Camera version works on devices with Android 7.1.1 or higher, some features might not be available.
