Here's my take on RB. Hopefully this guide will help take the risk out of the blocks and add another 50% experience to every run versus the standard quick loot RB. Each attack will list [troops][min. time on blocks/max time on attacks][average losses]. All primary attacks are done with MG unless noted. This guide includes 3 optional attacks (noted in color) which add about 8,000 experience.

Generals requiured: MG, 2x MMA, 3x tavern
Optimal rollout: 1119r 124b 1m 58s 301c 183e 138xb 280k (includes extras for overlapping attacks and errors)
Minimal rollout: 1075r 124b 1m 58s 147c 125e 138xb 160k
Average losses: 1049r 120b
Total experience: 24,720

Some more details and hints for this attack
  • don't rely on the drumroll sound (it can sometimes lag)
  • zoom out far enough so you can see your general and the target
  • this doesn't have to be done at breakneck speed, but don't dawdle (the most common failure is trying to run too fast)

This fist set is the most difficult, but it also has the biggest gains:
  1. grab the 1st general, target the camp and send it
  2. grab the 2nd general, target the camp, wait 1 second and send it
  3. grab the last general, target the camp, wait 5 seconds and send it

When the first general reaches point 1, the second general should be at point 2 and the final general should just be leaving camp at point 3 (as shown below):
