Trophy Push strategies for th8

Hi all,
My clan is doing a trophy push and while I have a great base for it, I don't know any strong trophy pushing strategies. If you could tell me some army compositions and how to use them correctly it would be much appreciated. Also should I aim for 50% on bases or go for three stars? I've never pushed past gold 2 before so anything is appreciated. Thanks a bunch!

Barch/BAM (to get 50%)

You can barch (barb and archer mix) to crystal. Depends how strong you are though. I would say giant healer with some hogs tossed in would be good for most. Make sure to kill clan castle and barbarian king before sending out any giants or hogs.

I like to bring one or two hogs into my comp just to lure out the cc. It works great.

For the barch would you just do 100 of each troop?

Im th8 and have been to 2725 trophies, i used level four hogs, lvl 5 wiz and lvl 5 arch. The number of them i used changed ALOT. I usually used 20-25 hogs, 12-16 wiz and rest archers and 3 heal spells. So if tou want to push you canmess around with that army comp and see if you like it but i wouldnt use it if your hogs arent atleast level 3 or 4. How you use it is you use a hog to draw out clan castle and king and queen if it is centralized (usually only take 1 or 2 hogs) then you put archer in corner to draw them to corner then out as many archer as it takes to take them out. Then i put down all my hogs on side of base that looks weakest. Then i put down three heal spells where needed to get them atleast 50+% of the defense taken out. Then i put down my wizards to destroy all the buildings where theres no defense at, you can also bring wall breakers, irecommend 4-8 atleast to breakopen the walls to the th so your wizards can take out th. I know i probaly explained it horribly but its very easy to master the strategy

the he above plus 10 minions, 2 at a time

I have been in crystal two just using BAM.
Where you have 80 of both archers and barbarians and I used 20 minions with them.
You place the barbarians first to distract then the archers to clean up.
While the minions are there for fire power.

Thanks for all the ideas so far guys, I have a good understanding on barch now and an idea of what to do when I get to higher trophy levels!

Ehh, all about being an unattractive target. Spend all your gold and keep elixir as low as possible.
