Hi HolyRobie, you didn't mention what chapter you are in = what AW's and troop types/levels available to you,.
Do you have fire phoenix or if you use troop boosting buildings from MA?
Most importantly, if you are familiar with the use of right troop types according to enemy troop types? (as you didn't mention what level of game you're at)
Do you auto fight or manual fight?
Knowing the above variables help forum members to give you the best possible advise
