There is definitely a faster way of 3-starring a base using this strat.

Having a level 6 clone spell or lower might actually be better for this as it only clones the electromites and not the super yeti themselves

I just recently upped to TH15 and immediately upgraded my hero hall to unlock the dragon duke and when I checked the blacksmith, the rocket backpack is nowhere to be seen, even after upgrading the blacksmith as well.

For context, I already bought the rocket backpack from when it was available during it's release even when I was still at TH14 as I know I will be using it in my strategies in the future.

Is this a bug or something? How do I fix this?

Here's my cheap spreadsheet guide for the Giant Arrow/Rocket backpack/EQ spell combination for the upcoming equipment nerfs. It calculates whether the GA+RB+EQ combo can one-shot a building.

Since the RB was released, I have been using GA+RB/hydra (with 4 EQ spells in case the monolith and cc are far apart but aligned) as my main strategy as a th16 ever since, so the nerfs would definitely hit rates. I still want to use this strat even after the fact so I tried to make a spreadsheet to see which buildings I can still take down, what level I should upgrade the rocket backpack, etc.

Currently, my RB is at lvl 21 and with 2 EQ spells and a max GA, I can take down almost any key building even at TH18 levels as it has a 6402 damage ceiling. Now, that number goes down to 5506, which means I need to upgrade my RB to 24 just to take down a th16 clan castle (or use 1 more EQ spell).

(Honestly, the nerfs across the new stuff, we all probably should've seen it coming but the giant arrow nerf was uncalled for. I still hope that they would reconsider tho)

Formula: Remaining HP = Building HP - ((GA Dmg + RB Dmg) + (EQ % × Building HP))

• If Remaining HP ≤ 0 = ✅ Destroyed
• If Remaining HP > 0 = ❌ Survives (shows HP remaining)

Key assumptions:

• Giant Arrow at max level post-update (1500 dmg)
• Rocket Backpack at levels 21, 24 & 27 post-update (1875, 2050 & 2150 dmg respectively)
• Earthquake Spell at minimum of level 5 with diminishing values of 29%, 9.67% and 5.8%
• EQ spell total damage%: 1=29%, 2=38.7%, 3=44.5%

Additional notes:

• the new equipment stats, I got from judo's new video and in that vid, only the lvl 21 and lvl 27 RB had dmg nerfs so i assumed there's no dmg nerf at lvl 24. Lmk if otherwise
• the numbers on the header indicates the rocket backpack level and the comma after the numbers indicates # of EQ spells
• I didn't include supercharge levels (maybe I should next time)

(I organized it the way that I would understand it at first glance (with the colors, arrangements and everything) so I apologize if it looks messy or confusing loool)

(also pls point out if there is any error or mistake that I made)
