So I was checking out the top players army composition and i saw that most of them use this particular troop combo: 16 bowlers, 2 barbarians, 11 wbs, 1 baby dragon, 10 valks and 1 golem. Spells: 4 eq, 1 jump and 2 rage. In cc: 1 golem and 1 giant (not sure) and a rage spell. I'm keen to know as to what strategy they might be using, me being a legend player myself and relying on bowler healer combo most of the times. Any inputs will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Bowlers and rest to turn around the firsts 2 rings, EQ and valks to snipe the TH.
What about the baby dragons and heroes? Do they deploy heroes first with bowlers? Or later with valks?Quote:

Great. I was able to picturize that somewhat in my head.Quote:

Let's say also it's not a specific army against a base. But it's diversified enough to get 2* against almost every base because you can deploy troops differents ways. Sometimes valks could also be used only to clear the outside ring of a base. but what we told above is the most "classic" way to use this army.
Correct. It's a very diverse troop comp that can be deployed different ways, depending on the base that pops up, And way up in Legends- you don;t have the luxury to next. So you have to have a comp ready for what the game gives you.Quote:

Having a diverse army like this is beneficial and also gives great practice for war attacks where the bowler/healer attack won't cut it for a lot of bases.Quote:

I'm still saving DE so prefer to use a different comp to those that can splash the de around.
So if you're looking for a viable comp for pushing purposes in legends then I would suggest drag loon: 7 drags, 12 loons, hound, 5 wb, 1 clone and rest rages with extra drag and loons in cc.
I cannot remember the last time I failed with the above comp. There is a very good chance of 2 stars and possible 3 on pretty much any max TH 11 base which means it matters not which base you come up against.
For 2 stars (and potential 3) the key is dropping the clone spell on loons to drive them to core where you can rage and tomb.
It is elixir heavy, but with legend bonus, star bonus and the ridiculous loot from bases in legends, it is more than viable.
