Elite Strategy Drop from DUCKS Leadership

One of our colonels is sharing a proven, battle-tested setup. Allow me to introduce Arnold and his crew from the Island Goons alliance (on PlayStation). This setup has been used to take down high-ranking opponents in warfare.

Arnold sent us two photos from the front-line. I’m not saying it was snapped during WWII, but with that black-and-white vibe and what looks like a military clearance stamp, it’s definitely giving war-era drama.

Here’s the full breakdown for CB8-9:

 

🪖 Barracks Setup

• Barracks #1: 46 Riflemen

• Barracks #2: 22 Mortarmen + 2 Riflemen

• Barracks #3: 3 Tanks + 17 Mortarmen

🚢 Shipyard Deployment

• Shipyard #1: 1 Submarine, 1 Warship, 3 Gunboats

• Shipyard #2: 2 Warships, 4 Gunboats

✈️ Hangar Configuration

• Hangar #1: 5 Bombers, 2 Fighter Jets

• Hangar #2:

  • If Level 5: 4 Bombers, 5 Fighter Jets

  • If Below Level 5: 3 Bombers, rest Fighter Jets

📡 Comms Center

• 4 Artillery Strikes

Here’s the most important part: The Strategy:

The second photo is a bit grimy, looks like it might’ve been run over by a tank. No worries though, we’ve translated it into clean, readable text right below.
 

❝ So what is referred to as the technique, as I understand it, is (for CB8-9): 1/ wake all defenses, preferably k.i.l.l ranger, hunter by airstrike while doing so. 2/ Air strike camp troops and navy 3/ Draw air and navy out using 1 tank in corner, k.i.l.l air using fighters, k.i.l.l navy using hunter and gunboats 4/ kill most g.u.n.s possible using ground troops. Order of landing; ta.nk, r.ifle, mortar in 2-3 waves. 5/ Bo.mbers clean up map, preferred 2 groups from 2 angles, aim to a.t.t.a.c.k g.u.n.s first.❞

I think this setup and the strategy could work well on high-level CB. What do you think? Let’s kick off a discussion in the alliance chat and break it down together.

Have a great Sunday!

P.S. Arnold is a co-leader in DUCKS and also runs his own alliance on PlayStation called Island Goons. Feel free to swing by and say hi if you get a chance.

Let's Get DUCKS a Logo

Hey amigos,

Hope you're all enjoying a great weekend! 

I realized our blog is missing something essential: A logo that truly represents our alliance. So I’ve been exploring some AI-generated designs, and I’ve got a few options lined up. 

Take a look and let me know which one you think best captures our spirit 👀.

Before we dive into the visuals, let’s remind ourselves what DUCKS stands for. It’s not just a name, it’s our identity:

• D – Discipline: We train hard, stay sharp, and never lose focus.

• U – Unity: No one fights alone. We rise and fall as one.

• C – Courage: We face every challenge head-on, no matter the odds.

• K – Kindness: Respect, humor, and empathy keep our team strong.

• S – Strategy: Every raid is calculated. Every decision has purpose. 

1. Serious style

2. Welcome style  

3. Happy style

4. Godfather style
 

5. S.e.x.y style

6. Boxing style
 

7. World War 2 style

7. World War 2 Remake Syle
 

So, which one do you think truly captures our spirit, or does nothing make sense? 😄 Let’s hash it out in the alliance chat!

Have a great weekend guys!

Welcome DeathBringer to DUCKS!

We’re thrilled to announce a powerful new addition to the DUCKS squad: DeathBringer! Not just “Death” he’s DeathBringer, the fierce and fast NightWing from the Wings of Fire fantasy series. A former assassin with a cheeky grin and lightning reflexes, he’s now soaring with us at level 91th and 8K tags (as of today)!

With DeathBringer on board, DUCKS now has a true dragon in the ranks. That’s right we’ve got wings, firepower, and a whole lot of attitude. So watch your step, bro... DUCKS have feathers, and they’re flammable! don’t set any fires 🔥🔥 around! LOL

Updated (31/August/2025):

Deathbringer just let the alliance know that his name comes from the game Horizon Zero Dawn, where there's a boss called the Deathbringer. It's a beast even more fearsome than a dragon loaded with massive firepower, grenade launchers, flamethrowers, and multiple turrets.

Welcome Home: Makisim 

And the best news? Our legendary colonel Makisim has returned! We’re beyond excited to have him back, leading and playing with the alliance just like old times.

Wishing everyone an awesome weekend and a happy upcoming Labor Day to all our DUCKS in the U.S and C.A!

🦆🦆🦆 

Salute to MÆKISIM

We all know that greetings and welcomes are much easier and far more fun than farewells. But today, we say goodbye to my friend and our colonel: MÆKISIM.

He’s chosen to seek out new challenges, and we wish him the very best of luck on his journey ahead.

It’s been a long and meaningful ride with him in the DUCKS alliance. His support, leadership, and contributions have been truly invaluable, and we’re deeply grateful for the time he spent with us.

@MÆKISIM: Bro, you made me sad all day today. I wish you nothing but success in whatever alliance you join next. And I genuinely hope to see you return again, just like you did before.

DUCKS Take Down the Cheaters

Those Rattlesnakes / Gaxa are cheaters, and that alliance is full with them. But despite their overwhelming firepower and stone castles, DUCKS still walked away with 12 stars and strutted off with another win.

We brought them hell: 

• Our heavy artillery shattered their defenses piece by piece.
• Our medium artillery executed flawless strategy, securing key stars from those Rattlesnakes and proving their tactical brilliance.
• 29 out of 30 raids executed—DUCKS showed up with unstoppable spirit!

Shout-out to USCM and VILK: You each claimed a single star, but it was a massive one. A true David vs. Goliath victory (See wikipedia.org - Goliath). 

 
Wishing everyone a great day and epic gaming ahead! DUCKS are ready and looking forward to even more challenging battles on the horizon.

🦆🦆🦆 

Welcome MISIO to the DUCKS alliance!

We're honored to have an additional veteran among us. MISIO has fought in countless wars and left his mark across many alliances. This time, he’s chosen to ride with the DUCKS and we couldn’t be more thrilled.

Welcome, MISIO, all the way from Spain! Hold on a second… your arrival reminds me of a legendary Spanish hero: Zorro. A masked vigilante who defends the oppressed with swordplay and sharp wit. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?

Some say MISIO is a fan of Lucky Luke, wandering the prairies in search of cheaters, never staying too long in one town. Well, we hope this town feels different. With MISIO on our side, the next war is bound to be legendary.

@DUCKS: We have one more CB10+. Let’s keep flying high, Side by side, wing to wing!

Let’s make it count!

Ducks vs Rattlesnake

Time flies when you're flapping hard, and our Ducks have grown up fast! We crossed borders and touched down in Germany, ready for battle. This time, our opponent is RATTLESNAKE, a fierce alliance with a name that speaks for itself. It's not just a title, it's a warning.

 

Let’s take a look at one of their so-called LOL sample bases. 

 

At first glance, They've got three to four bases in their lineup at level 1. Don’t be fooled. These bases are dressed up like 5-year veterans: loaded with all the whistles and bells that you’d expect from a maxed-out fortress. I guess that you see what I am talking about.

Had a quick chat with their two co-leaders and respect was mutual. They’ve got 8 active players, but most are not online. That gives us a sliver of hope for another win.

So gear up everyone. Do whatever we can do. Let discuss about the strategy in the alliance chat.
