Here’s a brief checklist on basic preparations you should take before doing any fighting. On more than one occasion, I’ve forgotten at least one of these and regretted it.

Battle Checklist

1. Resources: Use or trade away any resources over your Storehouse cap which you don’t want to lose when defending against a superior attacker. Since silver is not protected by the Storehouse until Level 21, keep only 100k silver to use for scouting.
2. Hero Skills: Make sure your hero skills are set for battle, down the left side of the tree. Jumping into a kill event while still in Builder Mode  SUCKS! You can purchase hero skill resets for 150k loyalty in the Alliance Store. Ask your Leader or a Rank 4 to purchase them from the catalog if the store isn’t stocked.
3. Hero Equipment: Put on your best gear with attack and defense boosts.
4. War Items: Make sure you have Attack Boosts, Defense Boosts, Anti-Scout, March Recalls, and 8 hour Peace Shields
5. VIP: Activate VIP. At VIP 5 it starts providing a march speed boost, getting you to the target quicker. At VIP 9, it provides a 15% Attack Bonus. At VIP 10, you also get a 15% Troop Health Bonus and 15% Troop Defense Bonus
6. Boost Up!: Attack Boost, Defense Boost, and Anti-Scout are part of a mutually-exclusive 3 boost group. You can only run one of these 3 at a time. The boost’s effect is taken into account at the moment of impact. For example, you can run Anti-Scout as your default so no opponents can get a read on your troop strength. You can march all the way to their city and switch to Attack or Defense Boost a few seconds before impact. As long as the boost is in effect at the moment the battle takes place and the report is generated, you’ll realize that benefit. If you have plenty of Anti-Scout boosts, you can immediately switch back.

If you have an overwhelming force and expect to obliterate the opponent when marching on an enemy, you should use the Defense Boost to minimize the number of your troops that get killed. If you can zero an opponent without the extra Attack Boost, then why use it? You might as well minimize your casualties with the Defense Boost instead. When defending your own city from an attacker, especially when you have plenty of hospital capacity, run the Attack Boost to maximize your kills and make them pay. I did a video with an in-depth battle test comparing identical battle scenarios with the only variable being the Attack or Defense Boost. Here it is:
