Spartania: Casual Strategy Guide & Tips - More Defenses

Scorpion's Defense

Scorpion's defense has the surprise element and is great against mass archers. It draws in your elephant with the catapult placed after 1st archer tower and the 2 horses will quite often charge past your elephant and cause heavy damage to your back-lines. If you use freeze on the horses, the archer tower and catapults will pummel away on the elephant making short work of it or causing it to be seriously injured. If you try to charge in, the horses act as meat shields with the statics killing them. If you freeze early, you better make sure your freeze is long enough to take out all the frontal defenses. You will also noticed that the statics are well placed supporting each other while you try to kill the statics one after another.

Clash of Kings The West (CTW) - Troop Statistics

I found this super useful troop statistics guide for Clash of Kings The West (CTW).



Legend:

Red - Best for Attacking
Blue - Best for Defending

With this, the best troop mix for attacking a castle I felt is not all Tier 10 or T10 troops due to it's high maintenance.

Mid-Level
T7 Infrantry - Guard
T7/T8 Cavalry- Heavy C. Archer/Royal Knight
T7/T8 Siege - Trebuchet/Heavy Trebuchet
T7 Archer - Heavy Crossbowman

High-Level
T7/T10 Infantry - Guard/Berserker
T9 Cavalry - Strike Archer
T10 Siege - Mighty Trebuchet
T9 Archer - Windlass Man

In fact, T7 troops are pretty decent.
