Defensive Core Sets – General/Mixed

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!
