Sidd's Original Strategy: Tank n' Heal!

A new strategy, Tank n' Heal! (Thank you for the name Ultra Dragon Master) If you want, you could just call it the GoGiWaHeWi. It involves the use of (If I remember right):

Healers (2)
Wallbreakers (10)
Giants (12)
Golems (2)
Wizards (8)
Lightning spells (3)
Clan castle and heroes for optimal results.

The goal of this attack is to get a 2 star and take all the loot, as it is very unlikely to get a 3 star on a fairly upgraded TH8 base with this combo. Let's get with the attack!

Step One: Lightning spell the most hazardous AD with the 3 lightnings.

Step Two: Lure out CC and Heroes with giants/wb (depending on the base type, this combo is flexible and can attack a variety of TH8 bases) (Also, lure the troops near the second most hazardous AD, as this is where you'll be doing the main attack, and you should get that AD out of the way)

Step Three: Kill CC and Heroes with your own CC, Heroes, and the 8 Wizards.

Step Four: Right after deploying troops to kill CC and Heroes, quickly place down the rest of the troops in this order:
1) Golems
2) Giants
3) Wallbreakers
4) Healers.

Step Five: Watch as your troops get a two star and take most of the loots.

Step Six: Enjoy.

Comment on my brilliance!

this seems like a strat that would work yes, but would be painful to watch.
like i feel the number one defense against this strategy is the fact that matches are timed. lol

What trophy range would this be for?

seems like a good strategy to try out, may try it soon

Too luck based IMO. 1-2 seeking air mines in the wrong place and the strategy is finished.

IMO it works for a TH8 in crystal III below, maybe crystal II if you're pushing it. It really works on any TH8.

Well I tried it out on a base with 2 seeking air mines in the EXACT same spot, only took down one level 2 (Ik it's under leveled) healer.

Expensive Giant healer that is way too much for farming and not effective for trophy hunting. Follows the common strategy of using high HP to tank and damage to get % behind

This does follow the common opinion of what's in bold, but this IMO is more reliable for a 2 star, when it's easy to fail a G + H. I'm not really sure if it is meant for farmers yet, probably a no for farmers.

Looks like an ok strategy. I might try it out but with more wizards and less giants...

Too much tanking, not enough dps for it to be a reliable army comp. You don't even need the giants if you have 2 golems. Also healers are probably not needed since golems are so tanky.

Nice nice.

This has nothing but tanks. The only DPS are the 8 Wiz which could all get murdered by a Giant Bomb. Two Golems AND Giants AND Healers is stretvhing it by a fair amount. Cut the Healers and at least two Giants to make room for some Barbarians and Archers. Another tip would be to use Rage/Heal spells. Nothing can defend against a heal spell however just one seeking air mine and your healer is done for. Three lightning spells on just one AD for your healer which will get blown up or two rage and a heal to make your giants infinitely more productive. Honestly I can't say this is a good strategy because of the many flaws I've just pointed out. The cost and training time are equally as bad so you might have a hard time using this strat for anything but pushing and possibly only if you are on a boost.

You really did name it tank n' heal! XD

People have been pointing out that this army "does not have enough dps". "Wizards will be mauled by any giant bomb" Well, point one has been fixed by having a CC full of archers (like I do). Point two is solved by putting your golems and giants in FIRST.

Still not enough DPS. After your WBs finish the two or three layers of walls your troops are just gonna pound away forever. Obviously you put Golems and Giants first but Wizards know how to wander around bases as well.

This is the old giant/healer strategy that existed since the game was launched.

Facescraper, this is a very advanced and educated version of the G + H.
GameloverHD, the troops are actually very good at going through the walls, you need to experience the strat. yourself before commenting on it (unless you already HAVE wait what :confused:)

It's a very tanky giant healer with too little DPS. If you're going after TH8s you might as well just do a regular attack without the golems. More wiz/arch makes it better. Not trolling you this time, but this strategy isn't very original. It's like doing a GoWipe with Valks instead of Pekkas and treating it like an entirely new strategy.

Not gonna try out the strategy but why do you even bother taking healers with you? Too much effort for so little use. Golems, even at lvl 1 can take a big amount of dmg, would be better to have rage to help the wizards and giants mowing through rows of defenses faster. I wouldnt attack a base with a ton of potential giant bombs too, because once your wiz are dead its pretty much over with the raid unless you have king, queen and cc.

Trust me, the giants die very fast without the healer.

You know what would probaly help your point? Screenshots of some successful raids with that army.

You can barch through to crystal 2. Why waste tons of time and DE? Even for C2 and up hogs work. There's a townhall 8 pushing through champion with level 4 hogs.

MAss drags for 3 star every single time

Ive always found throwing a few giants and some archers at a TH8 works perfectly well.

Well... Is this army for farming or trophy pushing..?
Because honestly this army comp is going to take WAY to long to make and it won't be efficient. I could just use 18 balloons and 65 minions and 3 star the same th 8:rolleyes:
Trophy pushing, eh... I mean if it works only for th 8's then it is pretty much useless, and you can't get past 2200

Seems like a G+H with 2 golems
