Town Hall Eight to Masters
So I'm a town hall eight who's decently upgraded, but not moving fast enough. I figured if I can push to masters I will get 1k gems and my 4th builder. Let's just say it was harder than I thought. Only ever made it to 2303 because I got frustrated over the whole "2 steps forward, 2.5 steps back" thing I was going through. I can get to Crystal with a Giant Healer strategy, but it doesn't cut it against Town Hall Nines.
I am now back down in Gold III/II. I was attacked by a town hall nine and realized I can get 50 trophies from a revenge attack. I now see what I need to do (revenge attacks for high amounts of trophies). Unfortunately, I don't know how to consistently two-star Town Hall Nines. So, what do I do to two star a high level town hall nine?
