The 70% Rule

The Noob Guide Attacking & Defending Attacking The 70% Rule

The 70% Rule
The 70% Rule is elated to the amount of XP points earned during attacks, which is directly related to how quickly you level your dragons.

Maximum XP
Each base lists the amount of XP points that will be rewarded if the attack results in a victory. This number will be divided amongst the dragons you use to complete the attack.



As dragons are growing in strength, it is difficult for them to plow through a Max XP base by themselves. This is where your teammate’s backup comes into play! If you are able to complete your attack with only ONE of your dragons, and only ONE of your teammates, you will both receive the full amount of base XP, as you have technically only used ‘one’ dragon.

The 70% rule is where this gets interesting.

Say your dragon is able to attack 1/4 of the base before dying. Your teammate takes their turn and is unfortunately unable to complete the rest of the base. You will be prompted next to choose another dragon. If you do, remember, your XP will be split between your first dragon, and the one you choose next (most often not the result you want!).

Here’s the tip: if your teammate dies before completing the rest of the base - look in the upper left hand corner of your screen to see ‘Destroyed’, accompanied by a percentage value. If that value is at least 70%, you can quit the attack and still receive the max XP for the ONE dragon you first used!

''Note: this tactic should not be used when attacking bases strictly to gain resources. Quitting the attack anywhere under ‘Destroyed: 100%’ will result in a slight (or significant) decrease in resource payout.''

''Note: this number is largely dependent upon the base you are hitting. This article is written with the assumption that you are hitting a relatively challenging base that awards you your max XP. In certain circumstances, you may need 75% to receive the FULL total of your max XP. In other cases (hitting a base far above your level), you may wind up with max XP from completing only a very small percentage of the base in total.''
