TH 8 Going for Masters

Hey so I'm a fairly new TH 8 and I'm trying to get to masters, for the 1000 gems reward.

I've been trying to TH snipe and it just gets harder and harder to do.

What are some troop setups I can use to get 1 or 2 stars on TH 8+?

Thanks

Barching is great. Cheap and fast. it lets you one star bases with great loot

Do nothing but barch your way up, look for the TH's that are not defending by anything and only use like 2-3 arch (a few barbs or a giant as a meat shield if needed).

I suggest using BAM if your minions are upgraded to level 4. Just keep searching you will always find an exposed TH or at least one that is easy to get to. Stock up on rage spells so you can rush it if need be.

Barch with dragons, giants and wb. You'll have to snipe th with 1 layer of walls even heavily defended by tesla and traps.

Barch with Wallbreakers, and RAGE spells!

Look for exposed THs, not just open THs. If they are close to the edge of the base, go for it!

Thanks guys. I use barch all the time but it's just getting hard to find bases to TH snipe. I'll just keep looking I guess, cuz I'd rather not use dragons or anything cuz it's very time and elixir consuming.
