The perfect mass?

Ok, im not a nooblet, so please dont ignore this lol. Everytime i ascend i stay at rank 4000 ish to raid some more uu. Then some weak player who i could normally take out before ascending takes my favourite planet.

This i can understand, but then i get messages like this from absolute noobs: "dont farm me, or i will get my commander involved' a commander who is only ranked 1000ish.

I never really massed someone before and would like to know how to do it 'prefectly'.

I know you just keep attacking with 1 turn over and over, but what about strike size? How to take out spies most efficiently? When sabbing, how many spies to use? etc.

Any advice is welcome.

to mass u ideally want to have a better strike then there defence then just hit with 1 turn till they do 3 damage to u... then just train alot of anti covert up (u will need a fairly good anti covert lvl aswell... then just hit with 15 AT's a time to mass away there spies... this should also kill there supers faster then the hits with 15 did ... take out there spies before sabbing ... that will reduce your sabbing costs... then just uses pookies calculator to find out how many spies to send in a sab :)

... if u want to do the first stage faster use 15 AT's instead of 1 ... u will lose more but i think it gets the defence down faster ...

one other helpful hint. Buy plenty of Mercs. that way when you have supers die off you odn't have to keep training up replacements.

Also my current understanding is, that you damage the opponents defence to such a point that all of their defence weps are destroyed at once right? Or are they destroyed piece at a time?

what about my attack force, e.g. if i had an attack strength of 1 mill, how high up could i mass?

I understand its best to have a larger attack than their defence, but as long as i do damage right?

P.s. My offense is more than 1 mill lol.

As long as your attack is 20% or more of their defence then any weapons of theirs will be damaged (for your example you could expect to do damage to someone with 5mill or below).
