Sharing your Army Composition ^^

_ Fact : I'm TH8, lvl 69, trophy 1500-1600. Below is my army composition (limit 200 troops)

_ 10 WBs - lvl 5 - usually drop them right after Giant, sometimes before if I can make sure they wont die.
_ 10 Giants - lvl 5 - absorb damage, can focus on 1 outer mortar or air defense
_ 40 Archers - lvl 5 - overwall damage dealer, protected by Giant
_ 20 Barbarians - lvl 5 - balanced between absorb damage and deal some more damage beside just Giants
_ 5 Wizards - lvl 5 - these guys will kill base defense in 3-4 shots, break walls if needed, farm like a boss and MOST IMPORTANT, they won't be 1-shot kill by Cannon, Archer Tower, Mortar ...
_ 1 Healer - lvl 3 - Mostly, I try to focus this Healer to the Wizards, this combination has proven to spell "100% Destruction" to many bases ^^
_ 36 Goblins - lvl 5 - Just doing what they do best =))

Additional :
_ 3 Lightning spells - lvl 4 - target priority Mortar (there is one (only one) time that my 3 spells destroyed 3 Mortar + 2 wizard towers, so please, don't arrange your low-HP splash damage defense in a cross formation =))

_ 1 lvl 5 Barb King - absorb damage, if he could put a few strike on enemy defense, then good, if not, he's done his job =))

_ Clan Castle Troops : 25 lvl 5-6 Archers, sometimes 1 Dragon + 5 archers, I mainly use them for Defense only. But if I happen to pass by some 600k+ resources base with tough defense, won't hesitate to use them =))

Regarding my composition, build time is about 37 mins each barrack for 1 full army. Yes, I know, it's quite long, mainly because of the 5 wizards =))

I have been using this composition for over 2 months, I mainly aim for 400k+ resource base, with some of below conditions (not all must be met, just 1 or few is good enough) :
+ I can reach 1 Air Defense in 20 sec or below with my ground troops, usually protected by just 1 or 2 layer of wall
+ 1 Mortar is protected by just 1 - 2 layers of wall
+ Mortars are spread out, I will Lightning out 1 Mortar, attack on the opposite side to quickly destroy another Mortar.
+ My Healer should survive at least 10 buffs.
+ Resource are gathered in the center of the base.
+ 2 Mortar or Wizard right next to each other.
+ No lvl 3 X-bow

_ This is just my style. Please tell me yours =))

Town Hall 8, Level 75, hybrid base and hardcore farming strategy. Works between 1500-1900 trophies.

-20 Wallbreakers, used for getting into the center of bases where the resources usually are.
-160 Goblins, used for taking those resources.

Very simple and easy strategy with some amazing results. In the past week I've raised around 15-20 million gold from raiding about 8 time a day.

66 archers (5)
20 goblins (5)
16 giants (6)
8 wallbreakers (5)
2 healers (3)

(210)

mmmarlin TH 7 level 47 Works well while DE hunting

-5 drags
-80 archers
-Three lightning spells

1. Take out air defence on the side your gonna attack from

2. Spam archers to get free buildings and heroes out of the way

3. Deploy drags on the side you will attack from.

40 Archers Level:3
6 Giants Level:3
5 Wall Breakers Level:3
80-90 Goblins Level:3

Min Troop Capacity: 170
Won 19 Out of 20 Battles Town Hall 7
Attacked a fully loaded Town Hall 9 With this and won 89%

@Grif : won't WB be smashed by cannon, tower, wizard (mortar is no prob, though) ? How do you deploy them effectively ? I think good choices of enemy base and good deployment of WB are the core of your strategy, right ?

@KlarkSmith : It's all-round composition, right ? It can get deep enough into the core of enemy base for the 20 goblins to shine ^^

@mmmarlin : I love to have Drags in my Army but 30 minutes per Drags is too long =)) Also, 5 of them cost around 150k elixir, gotta be picky with enemy bases =))

@p0isonninja : Yeah, as long as you be careful with those splash damage defense, you can sure bring pain =))

Yep, and with enemy bases with low are defense it's usually a 3 stars (or would have been if i had more time), even TH9s with double X-Bows (lvl1).

Weakness if this group is a lower dps, and high dependance on the healers.

@KlarkSmith : Yeah, I also faced the DPS problem, that's why I exchanged 20 archer with 5 wizard for more DPS and more focus DPs also =))
However, this exchange make my army even more dependent on the healer and proper deployment ^^ Oh, increased training time is a setback, also =))

Lvl 5 wizards might be good for DE farming but Gold/elixir, not so much. I like to use cheap and fast to train troops while farming. Still is a good army composition.

70 Lvl 4 archers
70 Lvl 4 Barbs
10 Lvl 1 Minions
160/200 Spaces

I really dont need that many troops, it didnt even fill my army camps up. It's probably because Im th7 but I can get into storage bases easily even without WBs. I try to use barb king plus barbs to break through the walls.

100 Archers @4
10 WBs @ 4
60 Barbs @ 4
20 Gobs @ 4

Total is 200, gobs are there just to clean up outside storages, maybe flood in if I get through easy enough.
It's a cheap 20 minute army and pretty much destroys whatever I want it to in my farming range around 1400.
