Send only the minimum number of soldiers required to win a battle. Each soldier that you send in will disappear at the end of the battle, regardless of outcome. Focus on creating large armies of Spies early in the game. Scout opponents with lots of resources and attack them. If their base is defended properly, send several spies in random locations to draw fire, then quickly deploy the other spies to get the most out of the resource silos. Gather as many resources as possible to upgrade your base. To win battles and increase your rating, use a combination of troops of three parts Gunner and one part Hornet . Divide them into two attacking units and target defensive towers. After the towers are eliminated, send your troops to the resources.
