Supposing three players send their attacks to village X, and all their attacks land at exactly the same time. Since they all land on the same second, then whose attack will land first?
The answer is, the person who first clicks the OK button will land first. And the person who last clicked the OK button, will land last.
For example, David, Eric and Peter all send their attacks at Jane’s village landing exactly at 10:00:00.
David is furthest away, and needs 5 hours travel time.
Eric is second, and needs 4 hours travel time.
And Peter is the closest, and needs only 1 hour travel time.
So David has to send his attack first at 05:00:00
Followed by Eric at 06:00:00
And lastly Peter at 09:00:00
Although all attacks land at the same time on 10:00:00, but David’s attack will land first, followed by Eric, then Peter.
Supposing the defender, Jane, spots the attack coming in and decides to send reinforcements. Let’s say Jane sends reinforcements and they also arrive exactly at 10:00:00.
Let’s say Jane needs 2 hours travel time, and she sends off those reinforcements at 8:00:00. Therefore the sequence of arrivals on the Rally Point will be as follows:
David | Attack against Jane’s village |
Arrival at 10:00:00 hrs | |
Eric | Attack against Jane’s village |
Arrival at 10:00:00 hrs | |
Jane | Reinforcement for Jane’s village |
Arrival at 10:00:00 hrs | |
Peter | Attack against Jane’s village |
Arrival at 10:00:00 hrs |
Therefore, Peter’s attack will meet Jane’s reinforcements.
For same time arrivals, the sequence of arrivals will be based on who had sent the attacks/reinforcements first.
Understanding the sequence of same time arrivals will help you to plan your sniping.
Supposing that there are three attack waves coming in:-
Peter | Attack against Jane’s village |
Arrival in 13:02:00 hrs. at 03:34:00 o’clock «- Targeted arrival time for sniping Arrival in 13:02:01 hrs. at 03:34:01 o’clock «- Targeted arrival time for sniping Arrival in 13:02:02 hrs. at 03:34:02 o’clock |
When sniping, the targeted insertion time should be 03:34:00 and 03:34:01. If you manage to snipe accurately and land at those targeted times, then your rally point arrival times will look like :-
Peter’s Village Attack against Jane’s Village | |
Attack Arrival in 13:02:00 hrs. at 03:34:00 o’clock | |
Reinforcement for Jane’s Village | |
Reinforcement Arrival in 13:02:00 hrs. at 03:34:00 o’clock | |
Peter’s Village Attack against Jane’s Village | |
Arrival in 13:02:01 hrs. at 03:34:01 o’clock | |
Reinforcement for Jane’s Village | |
Reinforcement Arrival in 13:02:01 hrs. at 03:34:01 o’clock | |
Peter’s Village Attack against Jane’s Village | |
Arrival in 13:02:02 hrs. at 03:34:02 o’clock |
This means the second and third attack waves will be sniped. When sniping, aim for your reinforcement to arrive at the same time in the first wave.
An example of an actual snipe is shown below:-
Absolutely wonderful post. I learnt a lot from this, as I’ve been trying to figure out how to snipe attacks. Thanks for explaining it in such detail.
I can’t understand so much T_T
