3 star? Dude your setting your standards to high. Unless you are attacking premmie bases..you'd be lucky to get one star. And barch is hard to beat. Win the battle with 1 star every time if you time it right and choose a. Good base. and Is very cheap to build and very quick.
You mean it is impossible? For clan war though other than mass drag with rage spells. I farm with barch but this is for clan war or trophy pushing.Quote:

It is difficult to get a three-star: I would settle for 2 stars with mass drags, or a comp resembling GoWiPe (I use giants, wizards, barbs, archers and rely on my heroes a little)
The best way to attack at Th8 is by using All dragons with heal spells. Iam also a th8 and take out lvl5 Ad bases with this strategy.Quote:

I use two healers for the balloons and wait to use rage for the dragon.
I would get gowipe troops as soon as possible. They are the most power full troops at th 8. i use 2 golems, 3 pekkas, 16 wiz and one arch. for spells i use 2 rage and 1 heal
If you really want 3 stars then hogs are your best bet - 50/50 chance of getting shot down though. 2 stars is very achievable though. A th8 should be able to get 2 stars on any th8 and early- mid th9. Use giants/wizards and find the shortest path to the town hall. Use a few heal spells and you'll get 60-80%. It's very reliable as long as you lure cc and clear som outside buildings so the wizards will go inside.
luke,
What do you use to draw out CC and kill those troops with? I never really seen that tactic and mostly emulate the balloon/minions attack that I saw the TH9's and 10's from my clan with my own twists.
Luring cc isn't difficult, especially in war because you have time to plan and can click on the cc to see the defense radius. Scout the base and click on cc so you can see the defense radius. Find a place where you can drop a couple of giants, either insider the defense radius or so that they will move into the defense radius. Once the troops are out of the cc you drop barbarians or archers one at a time until the cc troops reach the edge. Drop a semi-circle of 20 or so archers around the cc troops. Try not to use your heroes or cc troops here. A lot of ppl use some wizards in wars and they can do a lot of damage to heroes or clumps of troops.
I know how to lure out CC's with wizards/archers and use them to destroy the troops. I was referring to how Luke does it with his combo of troops.
Yeah, I misread. He doesn't lure the cc. You can use defending cc troops to pull your own troops into a base. Some people use that because pekkas are difficult to control.
If you know what you're doing balloonians are a consistent 2 stars for any well developed TH8 and a guarenteed 3 stars on premmie ~ mid TH8s.
CC dragon with Barb King level 5.
level 3 dragz equalz 3 starz..
Hogs or mass drags (for spread bases bring a small number of hogs to take out the core ad). I can guarantee at least one strategies will 3 star 95% of all town hall 8 bases out there.
Healers only attack ground troops...Quote:

I used this new strategy to push till Crystal 1...now i'm in Silver..farming my walls.
Carry,
Level 4 Hogs x 24
Level 3 Healer x 4
Level 5 Wizards x 6
CC: 6 Wizards lvl 5+ and 1 Barbarian.
Spells: 3 Heals + 1 Poison
How to Attack
1. Ofcourse, check for enemy CC troops, if no troops are there..lucky you. But if there is, use your wizards or CC.
2. You should know where the GB are...Hogs ultimate nightmare.
3. Start deploying your hogs as 2 Groups from opposite sides with 2 Healers behind them.
4. Don't worry a lot about AD...Hogs will finish them fast
5. Your Healer will heal you Hogs from Defenses like the AT, Cannon, Mortar and the Wizard Tower.
6. Use your heal spell when your hogs trigger GB's.
7. When most of the Defenses are taken out, deploy wizards and king for clean up.
Hope you understood.

Seen some good results at th8 using a hybrid goho attack.
2 golems are used to tank a portion of the base (eliminate dgb threats) followed by wizards to back up the golems and create a wide funnel for the bk and max cc pekka. Wallbreakers (usually 8-10) create a path into the base and are helped out by a rage spell. The rage spell allows for your troops to kill the enemy cc troops and propels the wallbreakers into the base.
While the golems are distracting the defences you can start deploying your hogs in a surgical fashion (about 3-4 per defence). You should have 2 heals and a poison left, you can use 1 heal on the kill squad (golems, king, pekka) and 1 on the hogs or use both on your hogs depending on the base. The poison should be used on enemy skellies or enemy cc depending on the opponent cc comp. Finally you should be on cleanup (hold back a couple wizards to help with that).
All Dragons with Balloon in CC
Good luck getting into a good war clan when you aim for 2 stars.Quote:

your only 3 star option is mass dragons.
In my opinion that's a gowipe.Quote:

Guess what everyone, op died of old age you can stop responding now.
My go to is hogs, and so is my clans. There are about 10 Th8s right now and we hog probably 4 out of 5 bases. Don't believe that the 3 star is not achievable at any TH, maxed Th10s pull it off on each other sometimes. For strategy on hogs the basics is Lure and kill CC then drop hogs and heal. Onehive raids on YouTube is a great source for learning th8 hogs, especially as Jake has a video on it. I'm not saying that you can't 3 star with GoWipe or Drags, because you 100% can I just find hogs are the most reliable of the 3 options. Good luck in war!

Sorry, have plenty of 3 star gowipe attacks under my belt...on max TH8 and some fresh TH9 as well.
I've seen it be successful with:
2 golems, 3+1 pekka, 12 wiz, 8 breakers, and 1 arch, or
2 golems, 2+1 pekka, 18 wiz, ...... or
even 1 golem and some variation of the above....
It really is about the attack spot and timing of troop and spell drops. A lot of people want to get all their troops deployed in the first 20 seconds and hope you can power through the base......I like watching those people attack my base!
People like to knock gowipe as a 2 star strategy with a chance for 3 if everything goes right - I was one of those many months ago. Found a good clan where 2 stars were considered bad attacks, paid attention and learned a lot.
You are correct in that not every base is right for gowipe, but it's pretty effective for the majority that you will see.
Easy answer, man. Hog riders. All heal spells. Need I say more?
Thank you for reminding me that everyone on the forum thinks they're awesome & that everyone else is an idiot.Quote:

Again.....read what I wrote.....it isn't ALWAYS the best strategy, but it is pretty effective.
That's where you're wrong, hogs can over power any base they aren't "unreliable" they are the most reliable troop in the game lolQuote:

Every base has its weaknesses... I have sen WIPE do very well at TH8 if you do not want to spend that valuable DE.
If a TH8 does not have level 6 Ad then its pretty much dead to dragons.. even with LVL6 they can die.
I have GOWIPED a TH8 base with a TH9 and 2 starred.... the more I play this game the more I appreciate TH design.
Wall layout for most, building layout for air and hogs...
Having seen someone else attack the base is a huge advantage
Luck does play a part
We can all say we 3 star all the time but what I see in war tells me there are a lot of liars out there.
the best strategy ive used to attack in war is 2 pekka 2 golem 15 wizards 1 barb 1 archer 4 wallbreakers and 1 drag with wizards in cc 2 heal 1 rage.Quote:
