Damn its so hard to type on this phone lol, it took me 5 days from gold 1 to master 3, from gold 1 I used loonion comp (16 loons and 60 minions) until crystal 2, with heal spells, from crystal 2 till around 2500 cups, I used 24 loons and 40 minions with rage spells, and from 2500 till 2800 range (couldn't pass 2800 IMO just too hard and time consuming) I used gowiva, check my channel it's in my signature, as for a pushing base, I recomend Young Wills base up untill crystal 1, after that attackers get a bit smarter and attack from the outside of the base, note any attack from the inside of the base will be a win, but its very weak from the outside, as a price for great inner defense it sacrifices outer defense, but past 2500 you might start losing more defenses than you win, so just put your town hall outside and hope you get sniped instead of 3 starred, fill all your storages at least past halfway before you push, watch my channel it covers everything I mentioned and some more tips for pushing, good luck
