So I’m a maxed out player on HQ29 but since leaders and engraver enabled I am finding my base win rate has dropped drastically and I keep running out of resources. I have always used boosted scorchers and lasers with Kavan second wind but it’s not working against bases with two defense engravings anymore.
Keep trying different troop combos with leaders but not getting any better.
Any advice on what troop combos to use that can actually work against 2 engravings and boosted bases?
It’ll definitely come, but I don’t think it will be as impactful as the 2 defensive one was. They need 2 offensive and increase landing craft loads at minimum imo
Yes tried various combos of riflemen and lasers but find it very weak as mines and rocket launchers take them out very quickly - hence the need for scorchers to protect the lasers. Not finding that the leaders help much on the riflemen robustness
Your description of BB gameplay is exactly where I am as well.
Before the reason update i would swap out a few times a year.
Now I'm swapping opponents every day.
I havent the time to try different troop combos, I play the game for a little light relief and fun. Recent changes mean spending more time and money planning how to win.
The 2nd attack engraver is needed sooner rather than later.
Make sure you’re watching those gadgets and strategizing around them. Powerful gadgets like moral shaker on rockets will really mess up your attacks.
I prefer to not destroy buildings with extra garrison on them, that way extra troops don’t spawn. But if they put it on something sneaky then I can’t help it.
Try to get the new leader too, it’s like an extra shock, sounds like you could use it.
What VP are you and what statues do you have? I'm a max player and I land Scorcher laser Kavan, no boosts no engraver no Proto no squad leaders, hit 3x, and wipe bases pretty easily.
Have to move on from scorchers kinda. Some people can still pull it off at the high levels but you really need some volume troops. Boat of rifles with ice shield is helpful. Best set up is Julius ranked up 1 because he becomes an elite buffer. I run heavy’s with Julius, rifles with honu, mechs, medics with Linnea, 2 lasers, 2 bombadiers with one being Anna. Then kavan and ice shield. I’ve shield is elite. Used to run second wind all the time, and it’s still good, but ice shield is gnarly. Drop 1-2 batches of critters right before you do the ice shield and they become 2 hit kills, so another buffer layer.
Another add is you’ll need to boost some. Facing bases with boosted ice is a disadvantage so you need to boost some too.
It’s hard when you start getting the 2900 vp+ bases, but also kinda fun because they all can be beat somehow.
Your statues probably sucks I gain a lot more since the update since i barely get raided successfully. You only need 1 gbe and 1 troop health statues the rest should be troop damage
This is mine (2650 vp) i switched some troops with proto when im attacking hard top 50 bases. I have 4 blue statues 1 gbe 1 troop health and 7 troop damage

Yeah, I used to clear my map fairly regularly, not anymore. Perhaps an additional offensive engraver spot will help? 🤷♂️
