Newbie Guide for NPC

[Are]

You wouldn't really call this a guide, would you?

Here is something i can remember from a thread that got deleted, this is the amount of ballistas needed for a successful attack with zero losses on lvl 1-5 NPC's regardless of what your hero level/attack is. Of course you need a Archery/HBR combo with zero losses too.

NPC lvl 1 - 20 Ballistas
NPC lvl 2 - 50 Ballistas
NPC lvl 3 - 170 Ballistas
NPC lvl 4 - 250 Ballistas
NPC lvl 5 - 550 Ballistas

Needs to be noted: These aren't the minimums, but they are safe assumptions for when you get started. With strong heroes, higher archery, etc, you can go less. I've done an NPC 5 with 520 and people in my alliance have said as low as 475.

Its better to let the people tone down themselves and not assume your values would work too since it can be different for several people. Now someone can come on here and read forums thinking 'Oh he did it with 475' which may result in a loss of all their ballistas.

To the people who read this, start off with the values i gave and tone down slowly 1-10 per time depending on the level NPC you plan to attack. If you get losses then go up a bit until you have the perfect amount of ballistas to send.

Agreed 100%. That's why I used the phrase "safe assumptions to start".

something is wrong because I attacked lvl 5 NPC with 1000 BAL (lvl 7 archery) and lost everything, the only thing i can see what happened was the NPC had never been attacked before... ?????

DeadPoolZ - if you note the comments in the OP, for attacking a lvl 5 NPC with NO losses, you MUST have a MINIMUM of archery 8, HBR 5.

"Confirmed Archery and HBR combinations when raiding a lvl 5 npc city"

Archery 07 / HBR 07 (Massive losses due to being in tower range, confirmed by Countryrazorback)
Archery 08 / HBR 04 (Smalls losses from units but @ tower safe range, confirmed by thetho21)
Archery 08 / HBR 05 (0 Losses confirmed by me, shoko-koko, Cudaman73)

Until your archery reaches 8 and HBR 5, I suggest you stick with NPCs lvl 4 and under.

[DeadPoolZ]

thanks but what are HBR's??

Horse Back Riding levels - they screw with other tech
