For too long now I have seen YouTube videos, forums posts and in game talk of people dropping trophies using the "Attack-> Deploy cheap troop-> Surrender-> Wait for you base to load-> Attack... repeat". It amazes me that people have the patience to drop 1 trophy (or cup) at a time using this method... I would be ripping my hair out and would certainly have deleted the game by now if this was the only feasible way of getting to the "Promised land" of 0 trophies!
Fear not however, for you lucky readers there is another method of completing this monotonous task and I assure you it is MUCH more efficient. What you have to do is "Attack-> Deploy cheap troop" however this is where it changes from the method i previously mentioned; instead of hitting surrender and starting the process again- you have to quickly hit the "NEXT" button at the right hand side of the screen (before it disappears) and VOILA you are onto the next battle and have dropped trophies as if you had lost the battle before. You then rinse and repeat and can easily get from 1000 -> 0 in 10 minutes if you don't get distracted along the way by the tasty loot sub 150 trophies.
Finally, for those of you who are pondering over the thought of dropping to 0 trophies, let this be some motivation for you (I found this base at -1 trophies):
Comment with any good loots you have found at this trophy level, and spread the word of this blog :)
