10 dragons, 3 heal, 1 dragon inside a clan castle. Best combo for TH 8 ever.
Used it for at least 15 attacks and so far only 2 starred once (ran out of time), everything else is 3 stars. One of them has level 5 5 6 air defense and maxed everything else except level 5 teslas.
I'll PM you some replays, or post them here.Quote:

Have you done a war since the update? Lol, you're either attacking some crappy basis or extremely lucky.Quote:

Every base has weaknesses, so I try to be versatile and practice with different strategies. That way I can always exploit those weaknesses and 3-star just about any th8 base. If air defences are exposed I go with dragons. If giant bomb places are obvious and easily triggered, I go with hogs. If it’s anti-hog base with big compartments I go with gowipe. If wizard towers are positioned so that I can take those down fast, I might go with balloonion etc. You get the point.
Mass Drag hands down for 3 starring bases as a TH8. Expensive but it works.
GoWipe takes some skill to get the 3 star. It's a more reliable 2 star technique for sure.
Hogging can still be done. Esp if you have a replay to watch or base is a pocket base with no space for double giant bombs.
I'm still having threestar success with 35 hogs (including cc), 5 wiz, three heal spells, and whatever else to lure and kill cc troops. I'm finding that the BK is too slow to kill that many hogs - he essentially functions like a couple springtraps, as he'll kill 4-6 hogs before hogs turn to attack him.
This only works against bases where you can identify and avoid at least two of the three giant bombs (either by watching replay or by seeing that a base has no more than four spaces that a giant bomb or tesla could fit).
Otherwise I go with air attack with rage, but I'm still learning how to do this.
Vs. TH8s with six spots for a giant bomb/tesla AND centralized level six airdefenses, I haven't got a clue.
