Mass Drag question

I've gotten pretty good with the mass dragon attacks. I'm TH8 and and usually get three stars more than half the time against the other TH8's and TH9's. My typical strategy has been to use 3 lightning spells right at the beginning and then unleash my 10 level three dragons with one extra in the castle (usually level 2). Down an AD the defending village typically has an extremely difficult time dealing with the 11 dragons in the air. As I lay deploy the dragons I typically deploy them in a bracketed fashion in a straight line so that they reach the remaining two AD's as quickly as possible. sometimes wonder though, if I should be using three rage spells instead of taking out that one AD with lightning. What would you guys do? For the question assume that the AD's are centralized and triangulated. Thanks.

Personally I prefer rage to lightening. As a rage can assist with taking out the AD as well as 3+ other buildings if spell dropped properly. The way you are dropping drags is right. I like to think of it this way: If you drop 4 drags and it attacks one building that can be 2 shot, then two of the drags are not attacking and wasting valuable time.

I use niether rage or lightning with dragon hits.... I prefer heal.

Rage makes the dragons move a bit faster, and burn stuff a bit faster. But heal reduces the damage that AD is doing to your dragons so they have longer to destroy it, and other targets nearby. I am finding that heal spells are more effective with dragons. While rage/heal/lightning is more effective in combination with balloon attacks.

I hate to say it sir, but as I understand your logic, I believe you are a minority in using heals with drags.

I might be in the minority, but it works pretty well, and with heal I can use fewer dragons. :)

Thanks for the input guys.

had considered heal in the past. This war I'm gonna try 3 rages. Maybe with one attack I'll try 2 rages and 1 heal, just to see.

What would you use in the place of drags? Why would you want to? Unless you are doing drags/hogs.

Yeah I wouldn't want to replace drags with anything except sometimes with 4 hogs to get to an exposed AD

Mass drag is my strat too as a low TH8. I use:

- 3 lightning on most central, highest lvl AD
- CC Hogs/Giants/Wizards and 20 army camp space to take out a 2nd outer AD
- 9 lvl 2 dragons in a line with intent to destroy the 3rd AD

I take out most TH8 and low TH9 with 3 stars unless they have 3 high level central AD. So the consensus is that 11 dragons with rage is better than this? I'm open minded and loaded with elixir.

Regardless of other things mentioned in this post, yes, the consensus is that rage is the best spell for mass drag.
