Th8 to master league

Hi. I am in th8 and base is half maxed. I have a lot of things to upgrade. I need 4rth builder badly. Once I tried th-snipping and went to 2200. But things got so much hard there. There were few th outside and that were protected too. I deploy all my troops to get th.
My questions are:
1-Is it possible to get 2600 trophy just with th snipping?
2-I am on 1600 now, how long it takes to get there? ( can play 8 hour plus daily)
3- Is healer giant works?
4- if not, except hogs and ballonion, is there any good fast train army?
Tnx in advance

I had success with 16 gaints, 10 wbs, 50 arch/barbs. I was able to reach 2300 with ease(push ended so i dropped). It's much like sniping, but you can 2 star th8's too.

I would recommend you to use giant healer with a few wiz. It helps me get up to 2400 trophies. For my army composition, I use 14 giants 2 healer 10 wiz 8 barb 10 wb and 34 arch, with 2 heal and 1 rage spell. Try to attck TH9 base and below, and not to attck base with inferno. While waiting for the spells to cook, i would use barb and arch to 50% or TH snipe easy bases.

Healer giant won't work great with infernos.
th sniping get hard at 2000+

I sniped there at town hall 8, with a weakish base.

I recently BArched to masters, but it takes a lot of nexting, lol.

I would raid in sessions, twice a day. I think I boosted my BK, spell factory, & 1 barracks. The boosted barracks was archers, the rest barbs.

For spells I packed 3 zaps, these could be used to take out mortars on bases that seemed like 2 star candidates, or to take out hard to lure CC troops, but mostly they were used to get that last building or two for 50%. Remember: 1 lightning will always destroy a BK altar.

BK often came in for a clinch 5% at the buzzer. Never raid without him, or your spells & CC for that matter. One loss can nullify an hour or two worth of nexting/raiding; don't go off half cocked, and only raid bases your sure you can take.

I only went for 50% on TH8 or lower, and I never lost. Early on I tried some 9's & 10's, but even if you loose half the time you loose a ton of trophies, not worth it.

Snipe whenever you can, above 2550 or so TH8's dry up and all you can do is snipe. They're out there, but it's a lot of nexts, and when you do find them they tend to be surrounded by max teslas, giant bombs, and a mortar. It would take half my army to snipe most of the TH10's I came across.

Base wise I just had a good farming base from forums, close to max, but with 2-3 point defenses still upgrading. I got sniped most of the time which is actually a great result. 1 star means your gaining trophies after the first raid, 3 star means it takes till the fourth raid. At 2-3 raids an hour (lots of nexts) that difference is huge.

Best of luck to ya, It's a wonderful feeling rocking the "tux", and totally worth the grind.

Very good tnx. But how much it takes? 3day? 4? One week?

I was in a clan while pushing with a level 68 th7 with 2707 trophies.. Check Sneaky Santa , Mario.. All he did was sniping with wizards.. Is possible.. Very hard.. I reached master as well by sniping.. Hard but very possible:)

Many people have sniped to Masters.
It just gets hard after 2400 cups. You need to press NEXT a lot (like a hundred times at least).
But it's certainly doable.

1. I almost exclusively sniped, maybe 10% of the time I went for the 50%.

2. I started around there and it took 4 days.

3. Probably, but I only used barbs and archers with some wb's just in case the th was accessible but behind a layer of walls.

4. BARCH or BAM are the fastest. Many purists balk at BARCH and BAM as being strategies, I'm just referring to army composition.

Some of my clannies did it with giants thrown in for meat shields, nothing wrong with that. I just preferred to have barbs and archers continuously cooking.

Also, I only used rage spells. Great to have if you don't being a full army and the th is booby trapped with max teslas.

Good luck

Here's what you need to realize about a push to masters league: It's fun until 2500 cups. At 2500 there aren't really any bases to raid that aren't inferno tower'd and utilizing trophy layouts. As many others have said, trapping TH's is kind of common practice up there (for some unkown reason), so as a TH8 it may be hard to even th snipe without unloading some decent troops.

You can do it, I had a lvl 35 attack me (I am at 2500ish cups with unprotected/untrapped th outside) and he was at 2600+ trophies this morning. It's definitely able to be done, but just know that after 2500+, you are going to have to pray for a TH snipe. I think the bases would be too hard past that point for a TH8 to do much without cooking a very expensive drag/rage army or something like that.

Thank u all. I will do it with barch, which I am good at. Tnx for knowledge sharing

Wouldn't it make sense to go up with a farming base (with outside)? Because TH snipers will give you free shield and you would lose only a few trophies? Better than getting pwned by a TH10 imo
