Evony Ultimate Defense Guide PART 1 

Don't release part 2😂

@@Keyboard.Warrior. Either you don't want players to use T1 defense, or you don't want player to know how to counter it 🤔🤣

@@DerrickDefies i Don't want player to know how to counter t1🤣🤣🤣

Lol

I agree. Please do not give away the kryptonite to the t1 defense.

Traps are good the problem is that they are disposable. Once it's destroyed you need full price to replace it.

Yeah, i'm exactly the same way. I thought layering traps was similar to layering a defense march.

Same here. I can build a total of 826,000 traps. When they are gone, I will build T1 traps only

I have Leo III and Dewey on my wall

If you need help or more explanation. You can always contact me via discord or in game DerrickDefies

@@DerrickDefiescan you help me

In response to your plan to figure out which trap to build.... I think your plan may be flawed. For example, If you're hit with ground, the vast majority of the triggered traps will be the ones that target ground, since they are the numerically largest target. Your test will just show you results based on what your opponents used to hit you with during your sample period.... Beyond that and more importantly, if attacked again for example by ground, and you built massive ground killing traps, then you'll get a lot of ground kills. Fine, if you're ghosted. However if you have masses of troops defending, the number killed by traps will be small in comparison to troop v troop kills. Better that the limited number of trap kills be targeted to take out a specific troop type that is not the main troop type. If the traps (and archer tower) take out all of a supporting troop's layers, then the enemy march is weakened by much more than the loss of those numbers of troops. They've lost the benefit of covering troops provided by proper layering and the march will succumb to your defending forces more easily.... Hopefully. Please let me know if I understand this correctly. Also, if archer tower attacks mounted first, then it would make sense to build the trap that also targets mounted. Take them out in the first round or two and layered benefit is gone.

Enjoy :)

😂

There are those with more... ;(

My 70,000,000 archer attack is only equivalent to 1000 T15 archers with 1500% attack buff (though with range longer than a T15 siege) However, the point is to kill off those protective layers the enemy has. Every time your 3m million T12 archers attack a 1000 troop layer vs a the 2,000,000 main troops layer is a wasted turn.

@@DerrickDefies my thinking exactly. Traps/archer tower and sub troops take out some enemy counter troops. Debuff weaken rest that your in city troops go after. Layer defense like an attack march.

Yes, its very simple. The two things you can do are ensure you always have the knights hall, or two dont play BoC. 😜But being serious, High tier traps are a heavy investment. I dont recommend it unless you have a ton of rss for your disposal or you are participating in Allstars, Chalons, or SvS

I personally recommend maxing out on a specific one. You can decide based on what you get attacked the least with or what you have the most disposable rss in. My wall is lv 36 and I can only hold 635,000. That is just enough to kill layers of 1000 consistently. This is something that you would want to do more for Allstars/Chalons as its still a bit pricey rss consumption Also feel free to experiment with the calculator I made and determine what kind of enemies you expect to attack you.

Alliance buffs work inside and outside of the hive. If you want to know the buffs the hive affects, tap on your alliance city and then tap detail.

Absolutely! I am merely giving an example of a troop type to focus on. If most of your defensive strength is in siege, then you want those siege layers to die as quickly as possible so your siege can focus on enemy range. In a battle, Your top tier siege will target enemy siege but your mid/low tier siege wont because they don't have the range to reach them. This will leave the arrows killing off the enemies mid tier/ low tier siege. So yes its absolutely viable. This video is the first time trap mechanics have been released and by no means does anyone (including me) have the best strategy for them.

@@DerrickDefies another question, would it be wise to forego the buffs given by sub city attack in monarch talent in order to make way for about 60% trap triggering chance

I hope you are able to see my new video

I think it depends. I have seen some good traps on my server get solo zeroed recently in svs.

@@YurinanAcquiline Thx for the words of encouragement. It's not that I can't, it's more of I won't anymore. I can smell a trap a mile away. They are all over the place, like dead fish washed up on the beach.

Stop crying 😂 play game

@@dondavis8588 You're the kind of dead fish I would attack. Lol, remember you trap types need us to attack you, not the other way around. I will do just that. Stop crying as you put it...I will say the same to you beggars lined up next to my keep with your crappy t1 traps begging for me to attack. I can not wait to see Derrick Defies now video. If is video shows a better way to run you t1s off the map. I'm all for it.

You should hit us we f2p so that’s how we get by 😁

Add me in game and share your battle report and wall general. My name is currently DerrickDefies

@@DerrickDefies i wasn't able to find you, did you change your name or something...

Cavs are kryptonite to a ground attack. I eat them for breakfast. What are you having a problem with?

I assume one of two things. 1. You have a tiny cav wall. 2. Your refines aren’t right. Make sure you have 8 HP flats for cav and 8 for attack. T1 wall should eat those ground for a snack

I don't have a discord channel for me specifically. But you can find me on the Evony Mechanics Discord Channel and Mr. Yours Evony Discord

find me on discord and I can send you an invite

DerrickDefies no numbers

It completely depends on your defensive units, If you are making a defense that focuses heavily on range with very little in siege, than Ly Thoung Kiet is great. As far as using him for trap activation, his 60% along with a 20% from the other wall general will give you a 2.8% activation rate which will lead to your traps capable of taking out layers quite consistently. I can't say whether or not its a viable strategy. however, for a small player, I suppose you could put a level 10 dragon on Kiet and ghost just to have your traps give you free points in SvS 🤔 But, my recommendation is to not base your general on traps. Use the mechanics and come up with your own strategies.

Why a lvl 10 dragon?

@@edborodin8471 lvl 10 dragon will keep your wall general alive while ghosting.

@@DerrickDefies seriously? Daaaang, I've been missing out. I'll have to work on the dragons then.

@@DerrickDefies Which dragon are you using?

That is an excellent question. with one small issue. I havent figured out where the archer tower is on the battlefield. I dont know if its next to the wall or somewhere in the middle. This is a project I have been working on for a while to come up with the exact range mechanics and formulas. It is really the last piece to the puzzle. I can tell you that a T14 Siege with no range buffs will get hit by the archer tower if you were to solo attack an empty keep, however if you add a ring/bracer that gives siege range buffs, you can burn someone without losing any troops to the archer tower. However, knowing WHAT happens is different from knowing WHY. The ranges dont make sense in this game and I am still investigating it. Once I figure it out. I will certainly expose it and possibly make a fully usable battle simulator. Archer tower has more range than traps but less range than buffed T13-T15 siege. My archer tower at its current attack power is equivalent to having 1000 T15 range reinforcements with 1500% buffs. I realize that sounds like nothing, but it has insane range and is useful in killing mounted layers.

Nvm. Archer tower has a range of 1500. I just made a huge discovery on range

@@DerrickDefies hey, will it be possible for you to have a look at a battle report? Can't make out how it would have proceeded. Thanks.

@@cdm1949 I plan on streaming an teaching people how to read reports. I can take a look at it after my next video 😁

@@DerrickDefies thanks, will wait for it then. I was tying to apply the theories you shared so far but the battle report seemed so random I am left scratching my head.

So what tier is best to build now? No player close to k45 on my server thought, but Im curious 😁

You can find it in my video description

😬😬😬 not my words. 😅 I'll let you guys make your own strategies with these mechanics.

I have Leo III so i think his triggering is sufficient. 😊

This video was just trap mechanics I recommend only building traps only for Chalons/Allstars/SvS and after rss are something you can expend as they can be expensive. If you don't know what traps to build, I recommend focusing on traps you have plenty of RSS for. If you have a lot of food, make traps vs ground, lots of stone? Make rock traps. Also, if you defense is a particular troop heavy, you should make traps that kill what they will target. If your keep is full of archers, you are unlikely to get rallied with mounted. You will want abatas traps to kill those mounted layers so your archers can target the ground and archer troops.
