Artillery Strike is a favorite tool among top-ranked players. It seems to become significantly more effective at higher levels. From what I’ve observed, pros use it primarily to clear out Jeep clusters, Rifleman groups from gunboats, Rocket Launchers, or tight clusters of defensive buildings.

The Artillery Strike has a 3-yard damage radius, affecting all units
within that range. I’m looking for advice from our gurus who have a
maxed-out Artillery Strike (340 damage). I am calculating that 4 strikes
* 350 damage = 1,400 total damage. Will this be enough to clear the
units in the red circle, or do some buildings have higher HP than that?
My question is: If I launch 4 Artillery Strikes exactly on the red crosshairs shown in the images below, will the combined damage be enough to flatten every unit and building inside the red circle?
Drop 3 to 4 Artillery Strikes to maximize damage against nearby structures. The image highlights two ideal target locations.
Wow, this design is a huge mistake. Placing two AA guns and an Airfield this close together is a gift! Is it worth four artillery strikes? Absolutely
How about this? The Gun Turret, AA gun, Howitzer, and Machine Gun are positioned in a series, making them a high-value target for our strategy.
Advanced Artillery Tactics
Finally, I see the most difficult artillery strategies, requiring perfect timing and precision:
- The Defensive Trap: Trigger the Camp alarm then lure all enemy units toward a cluster of defensive buildings. Once they are grouped up, unleash all four artillery strikes to wipe out the units and the structures simultaneously.
- The Naval Ambush: Bait enemy gunboats into passing over a suspected minefield. Just as they cross, rain down artillery little by little to detonate the mines and sink the entire fleet
Maybe I’m missing something, but I’ve seen top-ranked players use only three Artillery Strikes to flatten the same targets I mentioned. What’s the secret here? I'd love to hear your advice, warriors!

A huge thank you to DEATHBRINGER, one of our alliance gurus, for reviewing this post and answering my questions in the alliance chat. Your expertise is priceless! I haven’t seen this explained anywhere else on the internet.
I asked for his permission to share these insights here, so the rest of the alliance and the global community can benefit.
The bottom line:
Once Artillery Strike is maxed out, each hit deals 350 damage. This means three strikes are guaranteed to take down any units within the red crosshairs.
