Game of War Defense Cores
When planning a general (non-troop-specific) set of defense cores, you’re typically going to be choosing cores and pieces to achieve specific Troop Defense, Troop Attack, and Enemy Troop Attack Debuff Stats.
There are a lot of variables to consider. Troop count/type, research completed, hero and vip level, and so on. You need to test to figure out what your “best” stats are for your SH.
Target Defense Core Stats
Here are two sets of “good” stats that show what should be achievable with a defensive core set using fairly common cores, pieces, and gems.
When we’re referring to High vs. Low troop counts – we’re talking about the ability for you to kill the entire attacking march. If your troop count is so low that some of your attacker’s troops return home, add more attack and test again. Continue to add attack and test until you’ve found the “sweet spot” where you’re killing the whole march and then stack defense on top of that.
Defending Against | General | General |
Defender Troop Comp | Low Count | High Count |
Defense | 1750%-1850% | 2200%-2300% |
Attack | 700%-800% | 350%-450% |
Health | 250%-350% | 350%-450% |
Attack Debuff | 650%-750% | 950%-1050% |
Health Debuff | 300%-400% | n/a |
Defense Debuff | 300%-400% | 200%-300% |
Troop Specific Attack Debuff | n/a | 100%-300% ea |
Keep in mind these are stats from the cores only. When equipped, you would have added boosts from your Buildings, VIP, Hero, etc…
Also – these stats are very generic, meant to provide a good overall boost, whereas other types of defensive core sets are meant to blunt attacks from certain attack core sets (like zeus, poseidon, frostbitten, etc…).
Defense Core Set Recipes
These cores and pieces will yield results near the stats listed above. Keep in mind, these are very generic sets. If you’re defending against some of the newer core missiles like Poseidon, Zeus or Ares, you will want to look at improving stats that will boost you against those sets’ specific strengths. Try swapping out cores and pieces to see what you can come up with!

I have a question what is consider a low troop count?
Thanks
Kind of a hard question to answer… because it depends on your research and other stuff. Best thing to do is build a set… take a hit. If you don’t kill the whole march, then adjust… gradually adding more attack until you do.
Under 250mil troops, but it does depend on troop tier
Yes it highly depends on your troop tier
All t4 is much easier to capture hero but you can also run t2 t4 trap that will make it easier to burn normally but you will almost always win on points as long as you don’t go over the 13-1 ratio
With new 5.4m rallies and new sets i personally consideranything below 500m regular t2 and 50m strat t4 as low. If that help
What is considered high troop count??
Are the days of reg and strat troops over? Trapping is just reg troops only now or can it still be a mix of strat and reg??
I had a 12:1 ratio of t2/t4 troops at a total of 2.5B troop count. This troop setup was pretty much perfect until I got zeroed. I’ve built myself back up but with the new Gem Set Bonus I’ve been burning. Now my new troop set up will be the same ratio just t3/t4 only. Before the new set bonus came out you could be a 17B trap and just chill and hold heroes but not the case anymore.
I just finished making a solo trap at 2.9b power that has no issue capturing full marches in blue/purple regular gear but burns on cores. Came here in hopes of an updated recipe list but these seem outdated.
