Make sure u have a maxed TH7 so u keep your storages low. Below 700k each for gold n elixir and below 5000 DE.
When u have too much gold, buy flags. Elixir? Train dragons but always keep 5 barbs n abt 15 archers. Too much de, train some hogs.
And dont have castle troops. U lose more trophies if u have castle troops.
And put yr TH outside. Yes outside! 1 in 2 raiders on my base at crystal 3 n above just take the TH, because if they r TH10 theres not much loot to get. They will use an archer queen to get yr 1000 gold n elixir.
When u see another TH7, try to 3 star using yr 6 dragons n 12 hogs. Weak TH8s too. Otherwise stick to TH sniping. And becareful of idiots who stick their Th outside which r lined with teslas n AD n inferno towers.
Know their range esp the inferno tower. U cannot beat them. Click next. But u wont n u will learn a lesson or 2. Teslas r fine with hogs to get them n dragons with rage spell. Careful of AD which r too close. Or even AQ or BK or castle. As dragons will ignore the TH to take on those troops first. Unsure click next.
Have a look at the defence base to see how much loot they have. If they want shield for the storages, most probably theres no teslas arnd the TH. If they r low, then it will b a trap to get trophies from u. Leave those bases with holes next to THs which r in the middle. U may get 1, but if u lose, u will lose 30+ trophies.
goodluck ...
