Best attack strategy for TH8 now in Clan wars?

Currently I'm upgrading my Golems to lvl 2 to start practicing GoWiPe, but have any other alternate strategies been utilized with any success? Hogs are still usable but are far more frustrating to use.

I know this probably isn't what you want to hear, but your best bet is to be good at multiple strategies and choose the one that is best able to exploit the weaknesses of the base you want to attack rather than trying to make one tactic fit all bases.

Hogging still works on bases that aren't anti-hog, I use a variation of GoWiPe sometimes, mass dragon still works.

No, I understand that. And I'm good at Hogs, i just want to know what other strategies I should start learning besides Gowipe, like have any new ones been standing out since the update.

I got two three stars in our last clan war Friday/Saturday using baloonion, on a TH10 and a TH8. Most of the cities around my lvl had neglected their wizard towers for some reason. I showed them why they needed to upgrade them :)

What level Minions? I still haven't upgraded them and I'm debating between Pekka and Minions next.

I have lvl 6 baloons and lvl 3 minions. High lvl baloons are much more important than high lvl minions, but higher lvl minions can save you if all your baloons go down with a few defensive structures remaining or if you are close on time.

Lvl 6 baloons are pretty much a guaranteed three star on TH8, and it can work with lvl 5 if you have some skill.

6 stars with all drags! Go me

So you're a TH9 attacking TH8s in Clan wars.... grats? I'm talking about TH8s attacking TH8s.

Well one strategy that hasn't been hurt barely at all is BARCH with 3 rages. BARCH is half barbs half archers and 8 wbs, and used to go for storages. It's build time is only 20 mins, 5 with boosting. ;)
