Can a town hall 8 hit master 2? Army Comp for town Hall 8 Push?

My clan is having a push and I am th8 but I want to try to get to master 2. I am currently stuck at crystal 2. My raiding strategy is 8 giants, 8 wb, 64 archers, 64 barbs and 1 rage spell. I can 2 star any th8 with this setup but cannot do the same for th9s, even weak th9s. the xbows kick my ♥♥♥.

Any strategies for winning attacks to get to master 2? I have lvl 4 hogs but I am trying to save my dark elixir until i reach master league. I tried out barch, and i can only 39-45% bases, i cant get the 50%. Its really frustrating. Any help would be great.

Thanks

Really elixir heavy, but a TH7 made it to champs with mass dragons, can get 1-2 stars on TH9, haven't tried it on TH10 yet. Another thing that is time consuming: TH sniping, someone told me he saw a TH6 in masters 2.

Can def do it by sniping. Reckon master II is the highest you'll get that way.

I have the same problem as u and im stuck in crystal 2 going for masters but I'm using 28 balloons and 30 minions with 3 lightning spells to take out an air defense and use my barb king to pick off the last buildings for a 50% in a sticky situation! this strategy is called Balloonions, look it up to find good ways to use it

You are what is called a necromancer on the forums lol. Did you check the post date before you replied? But anyway, I am also at C2, balloon on wasn't working for me so I switched to hogs/giants/wiz/arch, which is so far working very well! :).

I recon that you could make it to masters with balloon/drag (4 drag - rest balloon) assuming that they are upgraded as high as they'll go.

then maybe switch to mass drag for the last stint.

mass drag, barch or hogs are your safest bets, I would stay clear of bloonian due to level5 bloons being weak

There is at least one th3 in master 2 so sure can th8 get there. Yet, dont underestimate the required time and patience (and gold: next, next, next).

To get to M2 at TH8 isn't going to work with hogs, or balloons, unless you basically TH snipe in which case you might as well use cheaper and faster troops e.g. archers with a few giants to tank vs tesslas, or wizards and healing spells.

Mass dragons is super hard, due to elixer cost and brew time - I tried a dragon-base strategy as TH8 ages ago now, and got to about 2450 before I found I was basically only sniping TH on the edges and had enough of the time and effort.

I believe you *might* be able to use GoWiPe, for 1 star wins, but have personally never seen it, and like dragons it's expensive and slow.

Sniping TH can get a TH6 to Champs, if you have the patience and free time. I've certainly seen quite a few get to Masters, when I was hanging around Crystal with my TH out, and in M2 I do see exposed TH from time to time.

Bear in mind, that in Masters it's quite rare to see anyone that's not TH10 - they exist, and if your own TH is out around 2600 you'll see more as they snipe you, but generally I can easily go 10-20+ raids between even being offered a TH9 base (and I skip a lot, so that's way under 1%).

You can snipe up to masters 2 with a lot of patience. Bring minions arch and barbs because most exposed townhalls will have a lot of defenses in range. After master 2 to get past that drags are the only way you have to get one star. It is very resource heavy and time consuming.

Go check out the clan APOTHEOSIS and view the a player named Sparhawk. Also check out PRODIGYS trophy record :)

GOWIPE may work, good luck!

There is a reason your stuck...
your not suppose to be there farm up to th9 and push on
But th8 will take a lot of money and time maybe a month to push

If xbows are kicking ur ♥♥♥ then farm till u have level 4 troops at least xbows are not that op just add wizards to your strategy

You could get into champions with enough sniping and dedication. Otherwise, try mass drags!

Also, check out the clan savage seven who are all at least in crystal. Be amazed. :)

I found a TH8 that was over 2700 today - their army camps had about 8 dragons, and a few hogs.

Currently an early TH8/maxed TH7 in C2 trying to make the push to M3.

Sniping with Barch has gotten me to C2 fairly easily; but, having trouble moving passed. I find a TH snipe at a rate of 1 every 1-2 hrs; and a 50% TH7/TH8 only a little more often (lv5 barbs and archers).

Currently building up for first balloonion run, so we'll see how that goes. Post your army comp & results!!

I hit around 2300 using barch/BAM as a TH8. Once there I brought a hog army to 3 star any th8 or lower I came across. That, and sniping, took me to the finish line.

You got to be prepared for long sessions, and I ran out of gold a few times hitting next. Pushed the last 2 hundred or so in a 10 hour session. Took a day off COC after that.

Anyone can make it anywhere.

Everyone can make any trophy count they want. I Would suggest Balloons and minions with rage spells. This is the strategy all the TH 9's use to make it to champion+. If you don't know how to use this strategy Chief Pat does a how video on it here or here. Also just archers and lightning spells. Grab 50% and runnn! Also make sure to check revenges to see if theres any easy TH's to snipe or lots of cups to take!

Hopefully this helped you and make sure to check out my Youtube Here!

to do this at th8, how would you prevent someone from taking back your trophies?

even the best th8 base wouldnt be able to stand against a th9/10 in crystal 2 or above.

do you just hope they 2 star you and then attack enough when you are playing to get positive trophies?

All i can muster was to barch all the way to 2400 trophies. After that it become difficult as you will meet a lot of town halls 10 with infernos.

I went up to 2360 with barch, but the loot wasn't that great. I saw no th8s past 2300 and they are my bread and butter for one star farming quickly with barch. Past 2300 was all tough th9 and 10s. So if you can't one star those bases consistently, don't bother.

Just to update, I finally made master last week. In the end, it was pure townhall sniping. Any other attack was just too risky to lose those hard earned trophies!

Barch, and mindlessly hitting next while watching TV. The win bonus was generally enough to fund the search for an exposed townhall. I put townhall outside and most of the time people will go for the easy snipe... -10 trophies or so. Then you just have to play for long sessions to make sure you come out with a net positive trophy gain.

gluck to anyone else pushing for masters!
