Dubai IV Boot Camp: Days Six and Seven

If all else fails, remember:
drone geyser + explosive + building
= points 

The next step on our journey to Dubai IV is Dubai III.

We will be playing it over this weekend (depending on your timezone 27th/28th February, probably another 7 am UTC start on Saturday, but open to suggestions)

Dubai III is just like Duabi IV, but instead of 2.7 million trophies, we only need 750K.

This is still 7.5 x as big as Dubai 2 so it isn't a small raid and requires a team effort to complete.

We've completed it three times already, so you can feel confident we'll beat it this time too.

We are going to trial out the same rewards system as we will have for Dubai IV.

When you get 54K, you will get an extra rare pack. (This is 1/50th of the points needed for Dubai IV)

When you get to 137.5 K you will receive another epic pack (This is 1/20th of the points needed for Dubai IV).

Advice for big raids:

Breizh (winner on 2/3 of our Dubai III raids) had this advice for you to do well on Dubai III: "play a lot". True words, those ;-)! 

My advice is:

• keep on researching your skills - "Strobe Light" (for flare) helps enormously with helping your units dodge enemy attacks (there is a bug which basically makes them invincible while flare is running. Exploit this bug!!) If you can get up to "High Pressure" for drone geyser, this also further reduces the cooldown of the drone geyser, meaning you can use it more.

• brainfarm beforehand so you have lots of brains (as much as you can - if you want to get 54K, it would be sensible to have around 150K of brains)

• make sure you are at least level 27 so you can participate (which should be easy if you have brain farmed a lot)

• check in chat that the borrow you want is available before putting your request in (and, related to this, don't lend people units they don't want)

• make sure one of your borrows is a doomsday or killaton (I have 3 killatons 30 and over and one doomsday I can lend currently)

• play with your teams and, while they are on cool down, use the NEKO method to fight using no stamina.

• set yourself a goal for the raid - like 54K or 137.5K - and measure your progress towards the goal through the raid - enjoy seeing your trophies and the trophies of our guild get higher and higher!

• remember every fight counts and helps us get closer to our end goal as a team

• have fun - it's a game ;-)! 

Day Six and Seven Challenge 

Get ready for the raid by doing some brain farming and working out what *your* goal is for Dubai III this weekend.
