Dragons Dragons Dragons - Yawn
Been playing CoC for about 18 months and everyone in my Clan loves War.
But it is now getting boring. All we get attacked with are Dragons with a mix of either Rage spells or heal spells.
There is no skill in attacking anymore, even complete newbs can just cook an army of dragons and get 2 stars.
In the same way that they nerfed Hog Attacks by increasing the damage from Bombs,
There should be a damage increase either in the Air Defenses or in the Aerial Bombs.
Try making an anti dragon war base.. here are some tips
Hey, I feel you man, I'm using an anti dragon war base now due to the new trend with all dragons attacks. It's hard to defend against dragons until more like th 9 or 10, but if you look around you can def find some decent th 8 anti dragon bases too.. the best thing you can do to make an anti dragon base is to centralize your airdefenses, max out their level asap, and create some sort of a buffer between them and the rest of the base to route the dragons around them, but still within firing range. Take advantage of trap placement too, you want to make each air bomb and seeking air mine count! Also, it may be best to ditch the clan castle and any heroes to the outside if you are planning on making a purely anti dragon base, so that there is nothing to lure the dragons to the middle. I found a base on the forums called the ring of fire, if you are a th 8 check it out, it works pretty well!
As a maxed out TH9.. I disagree!
Some time ago when the update showed up and I stopped hogging for good, I submitted a thread complaining about mass dragons and the result of war only depended on which clan had higher lvl dragons and spells. I was in the same position as you.
Now I can certainly say that's not true anymore.
As a TH9 with maxed out defenses and half lvl9 walls, I have wiped out other maxed TH9 with GoWiWi and GoWiPe many many times.
Only those who haven't learn how to Gowiwi attack still use dragons to achieve a mediocre 2 star. Some of our TH10 still use dragons because they cannot 3-star other TH10 anyways, it is very difficult and rarely achieved.
Even our TH8 have started using the strategy, it is hard for them to spend several thousand DE, but they are commited to win.
So far we have won 8 post update wars, and we have fought clans much stronger than us, even winning twice against chinese clans, while they mass dragon us and 2-star everyone, we 3-starred half of their bases with other attacking strategies.
