Gonna hit TH8 in about 2 days (come on builders work faster!)

I used Mantis for TH7, and Tempest would've been used for TH8 if it weren't for the Halloween update. I'm looking for something that works well with this 4th mortar. We war a lot, so I'd love to have a easy switch between farming and trophy/war base.

Or maybe hogs, wiz , wb combo . There are lots of tips on YouTube by some player who's done it.

Giwipe combo can be used on live th9 base

While hogs combo preferably be used on dead bases as the bombs will normally be triggered already and use the wiz as cleanup crew. Wb is important to help clear a path toward the th in the middle. Else the wiz will just go around the base .

Anyways , a lot of patience is needed to reach masters. I took one week from 1700 trophy to reach there. At some point you'll be exhausted of exilir. So you'll have to alternate between dark troop and elixir troop as de is aplenty in higher leagues.

Keeping your base low on resources helps to avoid Attacks too. But generally at higher crystal two onwards player would be more cautious about attacking you. Sometimes th8 can get wins too over there if the base is strong enough and the attacker messed up.

Anyways, give it another try I guess. You'll need to choose base that u really confident to get at least two stars. Any preferably choose bases with 20 trophy above to Attack. It'll give better yield when two starred.

Hope this helps abit

Heyyy Fellow TH8ers, um.. sorry to hear about the deleted thread

Good to see a community out here for us ;)

This is my base
Attachment 74378
I'm complete with upgrading the defenses(the last tesla will be ready in 2 days), and more than halfway with the walls, but troop upgrade completion is gonna take some time...

This is my profile
Attachment 74379

Well, coming to a problem I'm currently having... I maxed out my BK to lvl 10, maxed hogs to lvl 4, minions can wait and am looking to upgrade my Golem soon (60k) D:<, but I'm having a lot of trouble protecting my DE storage. After getting three starred recently, changed the layout, and I defended twice but lost the whole DE amount.

Attachment 74380

So, is there a base out there that can give me a peaceful heart interms of protection of my DE? Gold storages aren't important anymore, and I want my TH inside walls, seeing as I want a change of not always having a shield when I log into the game.

All help is appreciated, thanks in advance :D

yeah, brando has done a pretty good job of creating the thread and keeping it going!

any time you get over 30K of DE you're gonna get smashed, because the TH9s can get like 2K from you. no TH8 base is gonna be able to stop that. best bet is to throw your TH outside and hope for the snipe and shield... that, and only break your shield when it's about to run out or you can stay online for a while. if you're wanting to save up DE you can't break shield for one raid and then log off again, especially if your TH is inside, cos you're gonna get hit for your DE

Tips on how to get to Master's League as a TH8?

What i learned

As a TH8, it is MUCH MUCH MUCH easier to trophy push with MASS DRAGS + BALLOONS + MINIONS vs GoWiPe, this is how i was able to breach through master's league
2400-2500 range is very DRY with TH snipes, like 1 TH snipe for 2 hours of nexting, but when i reached around 2550 range TH Snipes were like 1 every 30 mins of nexting
3 lightning spells with mass drags is a must if you want to ensure a 2-star victory, your goal is to 2-star and you can 2 star almost any middle-tier TH9. It would be next to impossible to 3-star a TH9/TH10 in the Crystal league
There are NO TH8's, during the past 2 days, except a single TH8 that i encountered. When nexting, around 80% TH10's and the rest are TH9's
If you have a clan you must ask assistance from your clanmates to give you high level drags or balloons
Maximize your playing time, dont go idle, the moment you go idle you will be attacked, most likely a revenge, and a revenge costs around 30-60 trophies

http://s14.postimg.org/hazumz8e9/Scr...9_19_12_11.png
Defense log/ Revenge list

When you do get revenged, ride the whole duration out, rest, eat, sleep, go on with your life for the mean time.
If you want to gem, gem your rax and spell fac, dont gem the hero and DE raxes
NEVER EVER TRY TO ATTACK TH10'S WITH INFERNO TOWERS ONLINE. Learn how to look at inferno towers that are OFFLINE
Most bases have their Xbows pointed to the ground ONLY.
Before pushing, stock pile with gold and elixir, mass drags is your primary attacking army and it will cost you 360K per attack with spells excluding spells.
Dont' attack a village if you're UNSURE if you'd get a star

Army and spell compositions i used

BAM and lightning spells- effective til around 23xx trophies, only good for sniping then zap the DE storage
Giants + Wizards and heals- i used this when i was at 23xx, susceptible to spring traps, i can only attack premmie TH9's with this. never a 2-star
GoWiPe and heals- slightly better then Giants + Wizards
Mass Drags + Balloons + Minions and 3 lightning- can 2 stars TH9's and even TH10s (without Inferno towers), just zap the nearest AD where you're going to deploy your army. THE MOST EFFECTIVE TROOP COMPOSITION FOR TH8 FOR PUSHING.

Attack log with mass drags

Timeline

I started from around 1200 trophies last Saturday, 8PM GMT. Reached 2400 trophies at Monday, 8PM GMT. Reached 2600 trophies Tuesday 8PM GMT

(Hope this helps fellow TH8's or those who are planning to push to Masters' league)

If you want to get DE and you have the time, try reaching master's league, you will fill your DE storages as you go up and try to go back down. And if you have lots of DE you will only get zapped so might as well be aggressive in getting DE.

Thanks for the advice guys, I will be keeping my TH out again, and will be pushing for master's once I'm done with my exams in December. Well, one super example for the saying 'Attacking is the best form of defense' I guess :D
