Defensive strategy to avoid big hits while away from game overnight or for long periods.
The attack battle system range is divided by hundreds and this makes it simple to take advantage of it while farming. This also makes it easier to defend while away for long periods of time. When you are ready to leave the game trophy down to the mid 900s and place your town hall outside the area of your defenses. This will allow low level players who are hunting for easy trophies to attack you and get an easy victory. Also try to spend all you can prior to leaving to make yourself less of a target for high level players using the same tactic. Obviously if you are saving for a big upgrade spending is not an option so just be aware you are slightly increasing your risk. When your TH is destroyed you get an automatic 12 hr shield. This should sustain you while you are away. Also by atrophying down the level of the opponent you face will be such that they should not be strong enough to penetrate your defenses should they have the ill conceived idea of taking their attack any further. Make sure however that if you follow this plan that you place something else in the area where you’re TH was so that troops cannot be spawned inside your walls. This does not work against high level revenge players but it will slow them down. Also if you make it look appealing enough you are usually hit by trophy hunters before revenge seekers can get to you. By following this method you benefit in a few ways, first a shield without spending gems for it, second a minimum loss or resources, and third a future revenge hit that you can plan out after they build up their resources. This does not work 100% of the time but I have successfully used for quite a while. The only drawback it the time it takes to trophy back up to the level in which you like to farm, but they are easy hits all the way up....
