I found the below post on the Clash of Clans Forum. Thought it might help those that are looking to move to masters or higher through sniping in our next push.
My Journey to Master's League as TH7
Hello everyone!
I just wanted to share this pretty cool achievement I got a few weeks ago. So once I had maxed out most of TH7 I decided to trophy hunt to masters for the 1k gems. It took me 3 loooooong sessions (about 4 hours each) of TH sniping to get it. Anyways just thought I'd share with you guys my experience on the journey to masters as well as what I learned.
How did I do it?
I pretty much just used a full barch army for the sniping (around 100 barbs 100 archers) + burger king. The reason I always ran around with a full army was because of TH trappers which surprisingly were very prevalent at Crystal League.
A few things I learned:
Always check for bombs by placing 1 or 2 barbs near the TH. I saw a few trappers who had literally every single spring trap, giant bomb, small bomb, everything near the TH. Always try to trigger as many of these before sniping because normally if they have traps near the TH they will also have Teslas.
Be patient. Around Crystal 2 things will start to get slooooooow. Don't worry, a snipeable TH will come, it just takes time. This is probably the most crucial part: if you're not prepared to next 50+ times you will not make it. I suggest opening Netflix and watching your favorite TV show while you next. Helped me retain my sanity.
About those teslas. So you've been nexting for 10 mins, impatient, frustrated, thinking you won't make it, when suddenly you find a TH10 in a corner. You're ready to cry out of joy. You lay down a barb to check for traps and 4 lvl 8 teslas appear. Don't slam your phone against the wall. This is why you brought a full army. Take a deep breath and relax. First check for those nasty giant bombs. They can take down about 15 barbs if you're not careful. After the bomb check lay down barbs at the teslas (make sure the barbs don't target TH) and lay down archers behind. Keep spamming waves of barbs and archers. If necessary, help out your barbs by sending in the Burger King. You will make it.
A few fun stats:
Number of times I failed to snipe the TH: Once (lvl 8 teslas, no full army)
Number of times I got revenged: Twice ( one of them for -59 cups)
How many days did this take me: 2 days in 3 long sessions (no logging off during the sessions)
% of trapped THs above crystal: I'd say maybe 40-50%.
Average time spent nexting to find a snipeable TH above crystal: It really was very random sometimes I would get one in the first next while others took 100+. If I were to take an average I'd say around 50 nexts.
A few last words:
I just wanted to let everyone know that you can still snipe to Masters as TH7 it just takes a lot of time and patience. Good luck to everyone attempting this feat!
