I have level 3 lightening spells and level 1 rage, what is the better option right now? I've been using lightening.
Lightning. 3x Lightning on an AD and then just let the lizards run wild.
At TH7 3 x lightning is really effective. As you can prey on TH6 [just 1 air defense] or TH7 [2 air defense - blasting 1 leaves just 1 remaining]. It makes a mass dragon raid essentially unbeatable.
Once you reach TH8 or higher though you will need to start raging, as you will then be up against 3 or 4 air defenses.

I was going to lightening the AD by the dark barracks, but my clan leader doesn't think I can 3* this base with 9 level 1 dragons and 20 level 4 archers (for outer buildings). Plus 1 level 4 cc drag
You could absolutely torch this base with 10 level 1 dragons and 1 dragon in your CC (hopefully level 2 or better) with 3x Lightning. I would not do the one by the DB, I'd do the northwest AD that's 1 level higher than the other two. Those remaining AD's are also very close to the edge of the walls I'd probably drop dragons as close to those as possible.
EDIT: I don't use ground troops with mass dragon attacks. They end up just attracting everything that cannot touch the dragons.
Given that base has air defenses close to the edge and are low level. In this case taking 3 rage spells would be better. Sweep dragons across that bottom left side of the base. As soon as Dragons are under fire from Air Defense drop rage spells on them, one rage to assist destroying each air defense. Take All dragons and CC dragon. Use BK on top right side near the end to help draw fire away from dragons if they are struggling to finish the job.
Get those lightning to lvl4.
My friend went with Dragons but I found lightning to be very effective. Both are great additions.
you should lightening his DE
dude this is an easy 3 star for u
just take out the highest level ad with your 3 lightning spells
then put 5 of each of your drags right at the walls of the other 2 ads ... i can release your cc drag at either at the bottom of the base or with the other drags
these are the th8 bases u can take as a th7 ... dude clearly didnt upgrade his ads when he shouldve
3x Lightning spells work well but i'm a Town Hall lvl 7 with lvl 2 dragons and max spells and i find Rage spells more efficient. Rage spells means i can raid Town Hall 9's because their Air Defences (unless they are maxed) can't really overwhelm a flock of 10 lvl 2 dragons in a lvl 4 rage spell.
Lightning is certainly better for TH7's and TH8's but use Rage spells if you're going in hardcore and want to hopefully crush a massive base.
I have found a combo of heal and rage to be most effective with dragons.
I think I can take it, my clan leader told me not to attack him bc he didn't think I could 3* him so I asked here for back up
if you only have level 3 lightning, you won't be able to take out any AD with it. you have to have 3 lightning spells at level 4 to destroy a level 1 AD. If you don't have that, use rage.
ADs shoot faster than Heal Spells can heal..
I've never used 3x Lightnings with my Dragon attacks, I've always used x3 Rage Spells, but then again, my Rage is level 4. You're better off lightning the top AD, then drop 5 dragons on the bottom infront of each AD. CC Dragon in the middle of it all.
I used to use rage potions but switched to lightning since more dragons seem to stay alive by the end of the battle. Zapping a AD is easy but depending on how the base is designed, it might be slightly problematic to get the dragons to move where you want them to go. Also, they dragons will probably move out of the rage spell quickly so a couple of seconds of duration is wasted (or it might be that I used rage wrong)
At TH7, I used 3 lightning spells.
At TH8, I used 3 rage spells.
At TH9...I use 3 rage, 1 heal spells. However, I'm planning on giving up my dragons and use Balloonions (just waiting for my Balloons to finish)
Lightning. I 3star TH8s, premmie TH9s and premmie TH10s without infernos. Its a good way to dump elixir and for trophy pushing.
