Why Debuffs are MORE IMPORTANT than Buffs

[@ken3051]

Aka, you continue to impress me with not only your ability to break it down, but your willingness to share the information with others! Thank you, Preacher Aka!!!

[@RedEvony]

Thank you very much, and I'm glad you enjoyed it ☺️ 🙏

[@LarryHairelson]

Preacher Aka, no need to convert me, I’ve believed in this concept for a long time. I have a couple Ziskas and several Baldwins as sub generals. Ground attack debuff is SO hard to get! Having strong debuffs make you able to punch above your weight. Great video!!

[@jkc3640]

even if there are no 3000% debuff players, you only need 1700% debuff to drag the big players to their knees!

[@RedEvony]

Right now, I think the strongest players in the game are around 4000% buffs, so 2000% debuffs would be the highest required. And I agree that if you have 1700% debuffs, that would be enough to defend against most players. But even getting that 1700% is extremely difficult 😅 Which is why I think every reasonable increase in debuffs is worth getting, and more valuable than increasing buffs 😇

[@rsimpson69]

Or at least to make your 2k buff get more done

[@Otter555]

What your saying is wasting -400😂

[@shakilahmed8992]

I agree with Aka...Viper, Caramoor, Tae, Neo and few more have around 4700% buff. And 4200-4400% buffs are very regular nowadays...

[@sherree1663]

Thanks for the video. You confirmed my position. I've been focusing on defense and Debuffs.

[@RedEvony]

I'm glad to hear that 😊 From my own experience, I can confirm that focusing on debuffs will benefit you for a very long time 👍👍

[@openmythirdeye]

Good video. Debuffs are a balance. You don't need 3k% debuffs when people are sending 4k% seige. Run it up to the max 50%, then focus on other debuffs so they are maximized

[@andreimicle]

Very very true. I am mashing the seals, military academy, duty generals, senate generals getting them to 10 stars...14 seats opening 16 tomorrow...my siege debuff is 1800...I 50% debuffed a siege rally where the k44 had 3.6k buffs...I could have higher debuffs but I don't know...I am focusing on the right side of the MA. I'm a very low coiner...less than 3k over 2 years...5.3b keep on 983...I am having problems since I don't get hit in svs or battlefields anymore....my defense buffs are under 2k at k39 which I feel are small...siege is 1.9k ranged almost 1.8k...

[@MrAdam-ry2rh]

Once I got to the point that all my important debuffs were between 1,000 and 1,500%, I stopped worrying about them so much; cause I found that I was halving peoples buffs almost every time. Or at least 9 of 10 times. So at that point, I shifted back over to getting my range attack & siege hp buffs as high as possible for my defense.

[@umsalsabeel7285]

Thank you very much Preacher AKA for all useful videos has much informations. ( Ahmed AZAZI )

[@JAVIERRODRIGUEZ-ct5wr]

I'm a T1 player, so I've witnessed what 1200% debuff can do against 2500% buff. It still hurts, but the power exchange works in my favor. Very useful knowing 1700% mark could be reachable ✊🏻 Would be good to break down acha gear and their upgraded newest versions for sub generals and see which pieces give the best debuf for every troop type for defense. Wonderful video, Thankyou Preacher Aka.🫶🏻🍻

[@RedEvony]

You are a believer 😁😁 Thank you 🙏 I have covered debuff gear in previous videos, so maybe you might want to check those out 😉👍

[@Triggerfish70]

Helm, chest, legs, boots.... just pick the piece with two buffs instead of one. The single debuff ring hits archer, so lead with that, but add a few of the double debuff ring to balance debuffs/address shortcomings. Lead with axe, add a few spears to fine tune.

[@JAVIERRODRIGUEZ-ct5wr]

​@@RedEvonyWonderful! Thankyou again Aka🫶🏻🍻

[@Triggerfish70]

The importance of debuffs is why T1 traps and bloated T1 keeps (T1 meat wall) should spend their blood of ares on sub gens before duty gens. The in city percent buffs aren't going to help much when you don't have many millions of each high tier. For quite a while now I have gone hard on ascending sub gens from the Tavern. During the Trial of Knights event I take one or two sub gens as high as I can go to complete red stars (no partial) then spend any left over bloods to take each duty general to one star (low cost for first star, decent return). I've got great defense. If I don't ghost ground or Cav I can take a 4,500% atk solo (yes, I've done this) and break even on SVS points (or better). If I've ghosted then I win big.

Very Good Video as usual ! 😊 As a K33 that I am , I got stuck in the same mindset as you in building debuff. I'm stuck at -500%ish but slowly slowly build up my debuff. Focusing on Achamenidae, Senate, Duty Officers, Sub Generals, Ideal Land (lev 3 as of now). Until half a year ago I had only 5 subs but have 6 now and will get two more closest months. Debuff generals I have a couple but no sub slots. O_o // Best Regards, Patrick

[@RedEvony]

Thanks Patrick 😊🙏 I'm glad to hear that you are trying to get more sub slots. Having more subs will be a tremendous boost to your defence 💪 From where you are now, if you manage to get up to 7-8, that would be awesome!! Keep working at it!! 😇💪

Now CoC starts in two hours, let's see if I can perform as good as I did last two seasons there. But I have messed up my gear in my pvp generals and subs. Trying to get set debuffs in my subs instead of having uneven number of gear on a general. I'm still using Queen B (awakened, 8.4 M) and Isaac Brock on my wall. They perform good together / way better than Leonidas and Marshal in my personal tests.

[@SolidSnake1]

Thank you for the Video!! Ive been looking for that kind of video. Question: I have all my sub gens geared up, now im at the point of ascending them (wall gen and attacking gens done), ive got premium gens like baldwin and hojo, but i know i will never be able to ascend them... so what should i do? do i use them regardless? or do I keep my AJ and harald and ascend them one by one?

[@RedEvony]

Hope you enjoyed it ☺️🙏 Actually, I'd recommend you do neither. I think doing duty generals first would be more beneficial. The highest sub generals I have ascended are only 1 star 😂 That being said though, If you do want to upgrade your sub generals, then it's a matter of what debuffs you want, and not the ascension. So in that case, it might be perfectly fine to keep your Hojo and Baldwin, even though you can't ascend them, as long as they are providing you with the right debuffs you want 😉👍

[@bryanrocker5033]

Buffs and Debuffs are important for attacking/defending against your peers and near peers. If you are hit by somebody 3, 4 or even 5 keeps higher than you, all the debuffs in the world will not make you any less zeroed. In fact during the BOG this pas wed, there was a K37 with 100M t1's and 155M troops total, 3 of us rallied him one K38 and 2 K35s and zeroed him in one hit. Imagine getting hit by a K42 wth 2000+ buffs. Debuffs are essential to surviving, but only to a point. I myself focus on my debuffs and I am doing decent, buffs, well there is only so much I can do until K36.

[@RedEvony]

Actually, I got hit by a K42 this SvS and survived it easily 😁😁 Well, you might feel that way now, but trust me, I can tell you 100% that focusing on debuffs the right way will help you out more than you can imagine 😇 You will become a believer 😁😁

[@bryanrocker5033]

@@RedEvony I max out my debuffs as much as possible......

[@DanielGibbons-v9k]

I agree. The point is to narrow the spread between your buffs/debuffs and the opponents buffs/debuffs. Debuffs have no special magic. All-Stars and Chalons are a different game than regular battlefield and svs. The buff and debuff differentials are much greater. BTW, a K42 with 2000 buffs would be terrible player for that keep size. Military academy and Senate open up a lot of buffs.

[@queenlip6152]

20% buffs because I'm a 90 lb weakling and need those muscles to solo monsters etc. 😅

[@Otter555]

I'd like to hear your opinion on whales not using debuff and using solo rally to hit keeps.

[@Otter555]

By this I mean they set a rally so they can use their in rally buffs and sacrifice the debuff.

[@RedEvony]

They can afford to do that because their buffs are so high that they will overwhelm a.lot of players, even without their subs. But don't forget that most of these players have gone very far with their research in the military academy. So they already have a ton of attacking debuffs and might not need their subs.

[@muc536alt1]

So should we use generals with debuffs on wall instead of generals with buffs ?

[@realBarbLife]

when you first showed your monarch preset gear around the 8 minute mark and gave the example of ground monarch gear with enemy ranged troop attack debuff... you actually want enemy mounted troop attack debuff for the ground troop preset. just an fyi

[@RedEvony]

Fair point 👍 but I think differently on that. The way I see it is that I wouldn't want to be sending my ground March in where there are a lot of cavs. I'd be sending it into archers, and for that, debuffing the archer attack would be more helpful. But to your point, if you have a strong enough ground March that you can solo keeps with ground, then having the mounted attack debuff would make sense since the keeps would have lots of cavs in there 😇👍

[@trptkrazed]

If you had the resources to do so, would you add at least 2 pieces of of either Abbas or August gear that has good debuff stats to your subs?

[@RedEvony]

Yes, I certainly would. But in my case, they would have to be supremacy civ gear pieces 😅

Gear from ache & civ gear has innate debuff ability, you just need a debuff general to wear those gear, most debuff have certain type of debuff that specific for certain debuff general

[@jdsilvaca]

@@stevenmah2070 ok, thank you

[@Stephen-ro5jc]

For subs, debuff is far important than buff. Buff only affects the small number of troops from that sub. Ideally, you need to start putting full sets of achae gear on all your subs. Focus on debuffing range first. Classic is the Axe, Courageous Helmet, Courageous Armor, Fearless Leg Armor, Courageous Boots, and the Courageous Ring. If you are bigger (K35+) and start facing more ground attacks instead of ranged, mix in 2 or 3 of Spears and the Fearless Ring to increase your ground debuffs. Later on, you can upgrade achae sets to Parthian sets. It is important that you do the upgrades as sets, so you keep the full set debuffs. Similarly, you neeed to get sub mayors that debuff ranged at first and then put some in later that debuff ground. Current group is 3 Baldwins, Darius, Jan Karol, 6-star Amr ibn al-As, Mark Antony, Hojo, and the Nordic Barbarian King.

[@jfrie63780]

Sadly, unless you coin for the civ gear or premium sub gens, your debuffs won't really matter much. Unless you fully ascend the tavern gens and even that becomes a chore for f2p players, you're not going to max debuff most players. Either not enough boa or gems to ascend both attack and sub generals. The game is becoming more lopsided each event for even those who coin moderately.

[@stevenmah2070]

This case I do agree, it's very hard to get the civ gear frag & think of other area that need to improve the buff & debuff, f2p is not have the previlage to get much better attack or defense

Not entirely true. There are realy good tavern generals and important note is to think about what stats you actually need to debuff.

I understand your point, but I disagree with it slightly. Right now, the strongest players in the game are around 4000% buffs. So my question is, how many people have 2000% debuffs or more?
