Recently got P.E.K.K.A to 3 and currently upgrading Golem to 2. While I could easily dragon or hog this base, I was considering trying my first GoWiPe raid since it's looks to be a good base for a first try and three stars. Would love to hear how more experienced people would attack this base. Also, should I bother luring the castle? I thought about using just a single Golem and 4 P.E.K.K.A. Also considered dropping two Golems in the upper right corner to cover the mortars.
If you decide to golem it, you should go in from the left side. Use a few barb to lure out the clan castle. And because the cc is taking up space in the left compartment it should be easy to attack once you get the clan castle troops out.

Thanks for the responses. So would I be deploying golems on each side on the compartment with the castle or in the corner and having wallbreakers bust in the castle compartment?
Bait West but lure to East where BK is so your troops can dispatch of BK early. Also note the CC has a ton of health, where as the BK platform is easy to pop, making your way to TH faster.
Get a clanmate to pop a witch or 2 in your CC.
Kinda like this attack I did but scaled down for TH8:

PS: That base you are attacking is called the Labyrinth and I have used it back in the days and evolved 2 variants of it:

With Dragons.
Easy 3 star.
Hey Kruzkal, thanks for response. I ended up hogging it for the easy stars. Wasn't quite sure what to expect from the golems. As I have not had the chance to use it yet, I couldn't plan the attack enough to be comfortable using it. The way I assumed it, the golems would have went to the funnels with the cannon? Still looking forward to using GoWiPe soon though.

Also, the army comp I'm using for GoWiPe at TH8 is:
- 2x Golems Lv2
- 2x PEKKAs Lv3 (one level five in CC from my nice clan mates :rolleyes:)
- 12x WBs Lv5 (depends on the layout, if it's rubbish and easy to break in, then less WBs and one more wizard or so)
- 16x Wizards Lv5
- 2x Archers Lv5 to fill up the space
Usually results in a nice three-star on TH8s or a close one at "easy" TH9s...
P.S: Good that you got him with Hogs, but they suck by now to be honest, with the GB buff and such... :P
Is GoWiPe actually going to be able to 3-star that base? I'm trying to pick up the strategy as well. Seems like an easy base to use dragons on for 3.
Because if they had 5 lvl6 Wiz in CC they can dust your Golems in just over 3 seconds leaving your Pekkas and Wizards vulnerable.Quote:

That said it may not be that important at TH8 but in my experience I can hit much higher with GoWiWiPe than GoWiWi or GoWiPe, and if I can bait it, I can 3* it so it's just good practice to lure CC really.
True, sometimes I have two Lv2 witches in my CC too, it always depends. Just sayin' that not luring the CC works better for me in most cases, since... firstly the PEKKAs and my BK etc. are drawn in to the TH usually. And secondly, I'm not wasting time that my troops could need for the final possible three-star on a TH8 after the TH and 50% of the base are down already :p
The main weakness of the Labyrinth is the lack of compartments. You won't run out of time on that base if you can blast the core.
I didn't use GoWiPe at TH8. I focused on getting Hogs to lvl 4 as soon as my farming troops to lvl 5. Back then prepatched it was quite easy to 3*Hog some TH9s as a TH8 so did not have the need to use GoWiPe.
My hogs are also level four but actually I don't bother use them since I'm better with GoWiPe than with hogs... I suck with 'em TBH.Quote:

I plan to do a couple practice runs during the week with GoWiPe to get a better idea of deploying. Nothing quite beats live experience. I have not had problems getting three stars with hogs since the update. I think a lot of people tend to spread giant bombs rather than double them since patch which is easy to counter if you plan the route and heal placement well. In a few weeks, I will be maxed and moving up to TH9, so making sure I get the practice in now.
He's got a hole in his base. What I would do is lure CC then kill it then mass pekka from that hole, but since u wanna do gowipe, lure CC and kill, then place your golem, 2 pekkas, wait for them to clear the buildings around that spawnpoint, then place your other 2 pekkas then wizards, For spells, I'd say 1 heal and 2 rage. Rage and heal after you start deploying wiz, and then another the rage when they get towards the center of the base. Place some archers around outside to pick off buildings to save time and ensure the 3-star.
Here are 2 alternative attack strategies that should work.
