Offensive tips from DEATHBRINGER

DEATHBRINGER, a colonel from DUCKS, who’s been with us since day one. After a well-earned break, he’s rejoined the flock with renewed firepower and a pair of strong wings to lift our alliance even higher.

His loyalty, strategic insight, and offensive brilliance have always been a cornerstone of our success and now he’s back with a tip that he wants the global battlefield to hear loud and clear:

❝If the airfields are placed in warship range, quickly spam the warships to take it out. Then use bombers to take out the camp with surrounding defenses around it. Finally, use 3 artillery to take out the rocket.❞

Tactical Breakdown

Let’s decode DEATHBRINGER’s offensive sequence:

  • Step 1: Warship Blitz If enemy airfields are within warship range, unleash a rapid wave of warships. Their speed and firepower can neutralize air threats before they launch.

  • Step 2: Bomber Sweep Once the airfield is down, deploy bombers to target the central camp and its surrounding defenses. Bombers excel at flattening clustered structures, clearing the path for ground units.

  • Step 3: Artillery Precision With defenses weakened, send in 3 artillery units to finish off the rocket installation. Artillery offers long-range, high-damage strikes—perfect for taking out hardened targets.

This combo is fast, efficient, and devastating. DEATHBRINGER’s return marks a new chapter for DUCKS, and we’re proud to fly with him once again.

Base Layouts Suitable for This Strategy

Not every base will fall to this method, but when the conditions are right, it’s devastating. Below are some sample layouts where DEATHBRINGER’s strategy can be effectively applied. These setups allow for optimal use of warships, bombers, and artillery in a coordinated strike.

 

That’s all for now, warriors. May your strikes be sharp, your defenses solid, and your wings always in formation. Happy playing, and wishing everyone a great Friday and an even better weekend ahead!

DUCKS DOMINATE

Congrats team! Our 17 DUCKs just soared to 56th place on the leader-board with a whopping 57,500 tags! That’s not just flying… that’s jet-powered wing-work.


Look back at the last 8 warfares:

  • πŸ† 6 consecutive victories

  • ⚔️ 1 draw (against DragonSquad)

  • πŸ’₯ 1 loss (against DragonSquad with full of CB-10 bases)

No young alliance has pulled off a streak like that. DUCKS are no longer flapping in confusion — we fly with precision, purpose, and pride. Our wings are stronger and no more shaking. That trembling? We leave it to our enemies.

And The Next Step?

Make The Global Know Who We Are.
Let’s make DUCKS fly even higher!

The skies are unpredictable: sometimes sunny, sometimes stormy, and occasionally full of enemy firepower. Our goal isn’t to reach the top of the leader-board. That’s a mission impossible when others are racking up 10K+ tags like it’s nothing (or maybe with a little help from hackers  πŸ‘€). But we’re not here to chase ghosts, we’re here to Make The Global Know Who We Are.

1️⃣ To every legacy alliance that dropped one of us: your regret is coming. We’re building something stronger, louder, and more united than ever. And we’re just getting started.

2️⃣ To the honest alliances out there: You’ll learn that beating DUCKS isn’t just hard, it’s a mission. Lose focus, and you lose the warfare.

3️⃣ And to the cheaters and bad actors on global: We show you what real warriors look like. Victory without your dirty tricks. That’s the DUCKS way.

So happy to be playing, learning, and fighting side by side with you all. Together we play, together we fight and together we soar.

Spotlight on General MacArthur

Every alliance has its unsung heroes and for DUCKS, one of them is GENERAL MACARTHUR.

We first crossed paths in Different Countries 3 (DC3), where he played alongside me for several months. Then came the global glitch my base was wiped clean, reset to level 0. While many players chose different paths, General MacArthur made a bold move: he left DC3 and joined our fledgling alliance: DUCKS.

Since then, he's become one of our co-leaders. He’s not the loudest voice in the room, but his presence is undeniable. Quiet, focused, and powerful—MacArthur leads by example. His growth has been steady and impressive, and he’s helped shape the identity of DUCKS as we rise together.

In a world of flashy stats and constant chatter, General MacArthur reminds us that true strength doesn’t need to shout. It just keeps building.

πŸͺ– The Legacy Behind the Name: Douglas MacArthur

When we hear the name “General MacArthur,” it evokes more than just strength, it carries the weight of history. Our teammate may be quiet, but his name echoes the legacy of one of the most formidable generals the world has ever known: Douglas MacArthur.

General Douglas MacArthur
 
Born in 1880, Douglas MacArthur rose through the ranks to become a five-star General of the Army. He commanded Allied forces in the Southwest Pacific during World War II, led the liberation of the Philippines, and accepted Japan’s surrender in 1945 ending the war in the Pacific. But his influence didn’t stop there. As Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers, he oversaw the reconstruction of postwar Japan, helping shape it into a modern democracy.

MacArthur was known for his bold strategies, dramatic flair, and unwavering confidence. His famous words: “I came through and I shall return” became a rallying cry for hope during the darkest days of war. Though controversial at times, his leadership left an indelible mark on military history and global politics.

We thanks for having you in the alliance, @General MacArthur.

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:

 

πŸͺ– 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

πŸ“‘ 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 πŸ‘€.

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

  • DDiscipline: We train hard, stay sharp, and never lose focus.

  • UUnity: No one fights alone. We rise and fall as one.

  • CCourage: We face every challenge head-on, no matter the odds.

  • KKindness: Respect, humor, and empathy keep our team strong.

  • SStrategy: 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? πŸ˜„ 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 πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ 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.
