SvS Prep Checklist: Buffs, Marches
A tight pre-SvS checklist so you walk into the event with buffs active, marches sorted, and nothing left in the queue.
Server vs Server rewards preparation more than reflexes. The players who score are the ones who did the boring checklist before the window opened.
The checklist
- Buffs – confirm your attack, defense and troop buffs are active and will not lapse mid-event.
- Marches – pre-build the pairings you plan to send so you are not assembling generals under pressure.
- Speedups – bank enough construction and training speed to recover between hits.
- Prerequisites – finish any building or research that unlocks the troops you intend to field.
Anything that takes real time – a building, a research, a troop batch – must be started early enough to finish before the window. Time budgeting is the whole game here.
Budget the time-gated pieces
If your SvS plan depends on a building finishing first, model the upgrade time before the event so you know whether it lands in the window.
