Attack strategies by Superfire and seamanmma

Barbarian Rush (TH: 1-3, Trophies: Any)
By: Town Hall Level: Trophy Level:	Misso5 1-3 Any
Introduction:	Barbarian Rush is a good battle strategy in the early levels (1-3). This means using all of your Barbarians in a mass attack.
Army Composition:	Troop Type Quantity Min Lvl Barbarians 100%
Execution:	The Barbarians are used to surround the base on all sides, working their way to the middle. This usually get 1 or 2 stars. You want to Barbarian rush bases with the collectors outside walls, and where Wizard Towers are in middle. Barbarians move in a unit and this leaves them open to splash damage attacks such as Mortars or Wizard Towers. To counter this, deploy them in waves on each side.

Barbarians and Archers (TH: Any, Trophies: Any)
By: Town Hall Level: Trophy Level:	Misso5 Any Any
Introduction:	Barbarians and Archers can be a useful strategy and very effective. Use about half of the troop space for Barbarians, and half for Archers.
Army Composition:	Troop Type Quantity Min Lvl Archers 50% Barbarians 50%
Execution:	Deploy 30% of the Barbarians as a "meat shield" and to destroy buildings outside the walls. Deploy 30% of the Archers to take on exposed defenses (try to aim at splash damage-dealing defenses like Mortars and Wizard Towers). After your troops starts dying fast, deploy the rest of the Barbarians followed by Archers to take on the rest. The reason why you deploy 30% of your Barbarians and Archers is to avoid splash damage when dealing with buildings easy to destroy without breaking walls.

Archer Rush (TH: 5-7, Trophies: Any)
By: Town Hall Level: Trophy Level:	Misso5 5-7 Any
Introduction:	Archer Rushes are usually for bases where the walls are strong and all the building are inside the walls. This will easily get 50% or more.
Army Composition:	Troop Type Quantity Min Lvl Archers 100%
Execution:	Try to aim for bases with the defenses just inside one layer of walls. You can also put them in circles around a village with full Elixir Collectors and Gold Mines.

Giants and Archers (TH: Any, Trophies: Any)
By: Town Hall Level: Trophy Level:	Misso5 Any Any
Introduction:	This strategy is very popular and useful.
Army Composition:	Troop Type Quantity Min Lvl Giants 20% Archers 80%
Execution:	Drop the Giants in as "meat shields", while you send the Archers on all sides to destroy everything.

Wizard and Giant Rush (TH: 5+, Trophies: Any)
By: Town Hall Level: Trophy Level:	Misso5 5+ Any
Introduction:	Wizards themselves are really powerful, but have low health. They are very weak to Mortars.
Army Composition:	Troop Type Quantity Min Lvl Wizards 60% Giants 40%
Execution:	Send in Giants as a "meat shield" to draw fire away from Wizards. Along with the Giants you might want a Healer or two due to the Wizards' extremely low health.

Dragon Rush (TH: 7+, Trophies: Any)
By: Town Hall Level: Trophy Level:	Misso5 7+ Any
Introduction:	The Dragon Rush can be powerful. Due to the Dragons' high health and decent damage, this strategy can work well.
Army Composition:	Troop Type Quantity Min Lvl Dragons Remaining space Giants 5
Execution:	Send in about 5 Giants just to draw a little fire away from Dragons. This will get between 1-3 stars, depending on defensive building levels.

Dragons and P.E.K.K.As (TH: 8+, Trophies: Any)
By: Town Hall Level: Trophy Level:	Misso5 8+ Any
Introduction:	Dragons and P.E.K.K.As works really well because both troops have high health and damage.
Army Composition:	Troop Type Quantity Min Lvl P.E.K.K.As 50% Dragons 50%
Execution:	Send in P.E.K.K.As in near aerial defenses (Archer Towers, Wizard Towers, Air Defenses), and send in Dragons near ground defenses (Mortar and Cannon.) Be careful for Hidden Teslas and X-Bow, and especially Inferno Towers, because they can wreck a planned attack.

Hog Rider Rush (TH: 7+, Trophies: Any)
By: Town Hall Level: Trophy Level:	Misso5 7+ Any
Introduction:	Hog Riders can be the perfect replacement for barbarians because they can jump over walls.
Army Composition:	Troop Type Quantity Min Lvl Hog Riders 100%
Execution:	One Hog Rider takes up 5 spaces, but on average (based upon maximum-level troops available at each Town Hall level) it does about 4.7 times more damage and has 3.3 times more health than a Barbarian does. Although it has less health and damage than five Barbarians, it compensates for this by being far more resistant to splash damage and does not need Wall Breaker support.

Blind 'n' Horde for Resources 'n' More (TH: 5-6, Trophies: 900+)
By: Town Hall Level: Trophy Level:	Infinity323 5-6 900+
Army Composition:	Minimum Housing Space Required: 125 Troop Type Quantity Min Lvl Housing Cost Wall Breakers 5 3 10 10,000 http://static4.wikia.nocookie.net/__...8px-Elixir.png Giants 11 3 55 16,500 http://static4.wikia.nocookie.net/__...8px-Elixir.png Goblins 30 3 30 1,800 http://static4.wikia.nocookie.net/__...8px-Elixir.png Barbarians 30 3 30 1,800 http://static4.wikia.nocookie.net/__...8px-Elixir.png Lightning Spells 2 4 - 40,000 http://static4.wikia.nocookie.net/__...8px-Elixir.png Totals - - 125 70,100 http://static4.wikia.nocookie.net/__...8px-Elixir.png You can alternatively replace the Barbarians with Archers.
Execution:	Get rid of those pesky Mortars and Wizard Towers! If they are together, you are in luck! Drop both Lightning Spells in that place so they all die. Break a wall with those Wall Breakers. Aim for a spot near a defense. Lumber in those Giants! Once some of those defenses are destroyed, horde those Barbarians in! Once most defenses are destroyed, send in the Goblins. Wait for your troops to destroy everything!

Defense Destroyer (TH: 4+, Trophies: Any)
By: Town Hall Level: Trophy Level:	Hazza da beast 4+ Any
Introduction:	This is for villages with level 5 Barracks, but you will only need one. This involves destroying your opponents' defenses before putting ground troops into the raid.
Army Composition:	Troop Type Quantity Min Lvl Balloons 9 Wall Breakers 1+ Archers Remaining space
Execution:	First of all, put your Balloons as close to the opponents' Wizard Towers, Air Defenses or Archer Towers as you can. Let the Balloons destroy the defenses, then put Wall Breakers in (if needed). Then put your Archers in near to the Town Hall. A Lightning Spell would make the raid much easier.
