I'm looking for a th8, 3-star attack strategy. Don't want to hear gowipe, I want something more reliable. Any advice and tips are greatly appreciated. Include the troop comp as well please.

Mass hogs. Screw GoWiPe and it's ♥♥♥♥ty 3* rate, mass hogs is easily the best overall option for TH8 as the game is currently constituted.
I'm a new-er to th8 so I only have level 3 hogs. Are they good enough to use??Quote:

Again, as Klavious said, if you're good with surgical there's still some utility from them and you can definitely triple some bases, but just get them to 4 and reap the benefits.Quote:

80% of my war attacks on TH 8 were mass hogs since the bases usually are harder to hit with drags thanks to the pathing you can force as a defender or good traps.
But if it´s a bad anti drag base, just go dragons and you don´t even have to think :)
I don't think so, my good man... Close, but noQuote:

Mass hog and GoHo significantly superior to mass drags, in any form (at this time, pre-update)Quote:

You should analyze the base and plan your attacks. :)
Whenever speaking of TH-8 attacking strategies here in this forum, all of the forumers never mentioned DragHog attack strategy. Isñt it a 3star strategy for TH8?
😞
Other than requesting max hogs in cc to take out an easy to reach AD when dragon raiding. I wouldn't recommend draghog.Quote:

When doing a mass hog attack, you dont need dragons as clean up troops, because hogs are your clean up troops once defenses are destroyed.
Same when doing a dragon attack, dragons are a clean up high HP unit capable of surviving long enough to destroy an entire base, also very slow moving, so hogs will be moving in front of dragons and not getting shielded by dragons.
Mass dragons and mass hogs are very effective strategies and combining both doesn't necessarily mean the strategy will become even more effective. In this case 1+1 does not equal 2
lvl 3 dragons against max th8 defenses? im guessing no one has tried that recently.
pekkas cant even come close to getting past all three of those lvl 6 teslas so gowipe isnt an option and same goes for dragons unless its a poorly designed base dragons dont work either.
lvl 4 hogs are the only solution and you will probably be just scraping by with a few hogs at the end. since this update stronger wiz towers and new time limit....i havent tried yet but i think its going to be considerably harder.
