but IME, offense is the only way when you are TH8, and you have to hope you don't get three-starred every time you log off. Id say you need 4-6 straight hours to get a gain on the potential losses that 9s-10s will grant you for logging off. and if you get revenged it may be for even more trophs..
B'linion was my most reliable win strategy, but it takes a while to train..and only gets 50% most times.. but that counts for wins. so hey..
Get some Wiz in the CC if you can they help so much when cup chasing. and a smidge in Defs too.
Get the surest win, 50% or TH.. don't worry about resoruces, worry about winning.. any loss will be crushing IMO/IME 47-49% loss is crushing! and sets you back quite a bit.
Next is your friend. esp when you see X-Bows pointed up, and inferno towers..
Good Luck monn.
