A lot players in my clan who are either newly town hall 8 or below are having a hard time getting 3 stars on bases above th 7. We are able to 3 star town hall 7s with no problem using all dragon strategy.
What strategy would you recommend against town hall 8s with well developed Air defense where an all dragon strat is not ideal?
Most have level 4 troops. Some have lvl 5.
Appreciate any and all help
On my Mini Account (TH8) I go for two stars, never for three stars.
Would be too expensive and if my Mini's clan two-stars all enemy bases, we win the war.
I use :
12 giants
8 wallbreaker
6 wizards
25 barbarians
rest archers
cc with 4 more giants
two lightning
one rage
barbarian king
the strategy is obvious, I guess.
lure and kill cc and hero
take out one mortar with two lightning, the mortat that can reach troops attacking the TH, but is farthest away.
send in giants, wallbreakers rage them at a certain point.
once the giants cleared haf the stuff on the way to the TH, send in barbs and archers slowly (keep 10 archers as backup)
once path to Th is clear, send in wizards and king to take down TH
use rest of archers if anything needed to get 50%
A bit expensive but even lv1 hogs in mass can do pretty well against lv 8 town hall. I did an experimental attack with 28 lv1 hogs, 20 archers to take out CoC troops and barb king, and rest wiz. 3 stared a fairly well developed lv 8 town. I did have a lv3 dragon in clan castle but it was not used.Quote:

Must have some easy competition. I tell my clan to always go for 3 stars and if you cant 3 star the base, attack someone lower. If we only received 2 stars everytime, we'd never win. My current war is a 20v20 and it's 51-50 right now.Quote:

Usually it's a 3 star but I do experience flukes where the dragons go the opposite direction I expect them to. Example:flying completely around the air defense I expect them to destroy, destroying every other building while being shot down.
Being #1 in my clan requires me to attack bases my own level so Im not one of those guys attacking someone 20 levels beneath them.
Im gonna have them try the mass hog attacks and see how that goes. Thanks for the inputQuote:

Hogs are really strong!Quote:

I always have a dragon (usually lvl 4) in my cc for the war cc, & heros. Always lure them out, & light them on fire with the dragon, & blast them with a couple wizards.
This works on most bases th 9 and lower. Usually always gets 3 stars;)
Hogs are a good one, 28 is a bit excessive. I have 200 space and a level 4 clan castle, so 25 spaces. my troops are normally consisting of
2 healing spells for hogs and a lightning spell. mine are all level 5 but lightning spell can be tra
20 level 1 hogs(on their way to level 2) 100 spaces
1-2 level 3 dragons 20 spaces to 40 spaces
6 wizards 24 spaces
2 giants(to get cc troops out of cc) 10 spaces
in clan castle I usually get a level 2 drag and a level 2 wizard and archer. I'm the only leveled TH 8 n my clan, my dad just barely got to TH 8 so his troops are still at TH 7 level.
and the rest is usually a random number of barbs and archer to fill. 46 spaces to do what you want. or 26 if you have two dragons.
Also depends on the TH 8's base, I have three starred really good ones. and also have gotten unlucky and one starred really bad ones. but you send the giants in same time same place otherwise they'll both get shot down. once cc troops are out you obviously lure them out to the edge and kill them. if you have lightning spell its good but if not archers should do. Send the hogs in a way where they will avoid two by two spaces(big bombs) they will wipe out hogs.
but heal them when they are facing many defenses at one time. I use two heal spells and send the hogs in two different direction to enclose the base a little. then clean up crew would be drag and archers and stuff and hopefully you have a barb king. try to clean up with out drag. you can send the drag in good enough sometime so it will automatically attack the town hall. that is also why two may be a good idea, if defenses are gone around the outsides then the barb king and wizards will be good enough for a 50% one star at least. The drags will a lot of the time head straight for the town hall if placed well and if outer structures are fairly cleared.
Another thing is I'm a highly leveled TH 8, so my troops are practically maxed. everything elixir wise is maxed except pekkas and my dark elixir troops aren't there either, hogs going to level two as stated earlier.
Yeah I was in a 20 versus 20 and we were way close, they were inactive and we have a couple on vacation so we had a few not there as well. if we went for 2 stars we would of lost for sure. I got two three stars with like 10 minutes left and we won by 2. we had been down the entire clan war but I had me my alt and a few of my family members in there. so we pulled through with quite a bit of three stars, and still got some good loot.Quote:
