Realizing how hard it was to raid at the higher levels of Castle Clash, I created some smurf accounts to test out different methods of raiding and defending.
I decided to focus these smurfs on heroes, as I've seen accounts focusing on soldiers fail.
To do this, I made several, several accounts, and received free gems after each update on CC.
After letting the accounts sit for a few months, I rolled the gems on each account, throwing away the accounts which failed at rolling any legendary heroes
After rolling, I managed to get one account with a basic paladin and druid, but in the further future, I managed to get a 5 - legendary hero setup
Keep in mind, that I've never spent a penny on this game
Main account - my first account, I've recently gotten lucky on rolls and I've decided to continue my progress on this account
First smurf account - Not as lucky as my second one, I've made the mistake of upgrading my soldiers, towers and healing spell, as I believed the towers would help me farm the "Here Be Monsters" mini-game and the centaurs would counter the griffins. As it turned out, centaurs are ANNOYING to buy, and towers were unnecessary might. I also made the mistake of adding but not upgrading mana mills and gold mines, which also turned out to be unnecessary might.
Note the 3000 gems on my first smurf account. I haven't touched it in a while.
Second smurf account - Not bad. I learned from the mistakes of my first smurf account AND managed to get six legendary heroes, one of which I sacrificed to conserve might. While keeping my might low (4400), compared to my main (10700), my heroes are still stronger.
