This is GREAT and will let you give an extra full attack before losing your shield completely. Why? Titan 3 is the first league that provides a good Village Guard shield, 2 hours. You don’t have to push hard to Legend, but you should keep yourself on the 4k+ trophy range.
If you are a TH 11 with great defenses, we really believe you should no longer ditch trophies and attack with a lazy armies. Before the TH 11 update, dropping trophies was mandatory to accumulate tons of resources, but now you can keep yourself on higher leagues, getting a big League Bonus and accumulating resources if you take advantage of the new Shield System / Village Guard.
The point is: you will lose some on defense, but will get much more attacking.
Are you going to lose on defense? Yes, but the game is about attacking and defending. We all lose on defense, but we can easily get much more attacking. This is the big change, this is what Supercell wanted. We no longer lose the shield directly when attacking, meaning we can give up to 4 attacks without being attacked, all this without worrying about going offline for a few minutes. This is the HUGE diference after the TH 11 update, now we can accumulate resources in all leagues, even higher ones. So yes, it’s possible to push and accumulate resources. This is why they introduced League Bonus, to incentive all users to reach higher leagues. First of all, we can easily notice that Supercell doesn’t like lazy farm and wants us to push and give real attacks, not lazy Barch all day. We can’t get free shields by keeping the Town Hall exposed, so what should we do? Drop Trophies to protect the resources? After the Town Hall 11 update (2015 Xmas) the gameplay to farmers changed completely. Even if they are also a high level player, they will know there are easier matches out there, so they are more likely to skip you unless you have a ton of resources or some other reason to make it worth their attack. Those who view your base will often be of lower level.
As you probably know, as your trophy count falls you will find yourself in a progressively less competitive environment. “Beginner’s Guide” is also recommended to you. If you are new to the game and have no idea about this, visit those pages first. To be a great farmer, you MUST know two things about this game: how the matchmaking works and how the loot is calculated. Usually these players lower their trophy count to battle in an easier environment and find easier villages to loot. Farm is when a player raid for resources and doesn’t care about Trophies.
