Lure out cc by sending 3-4 hogs in on a defense in CC radius, spread these out a little bit so they trigger any giant bombs. The pull them to a corner and kill them with your archers and wizards. Then send your hogs in on a side where you checked for giant bombs. All heal spells for the hogs.Quote:

Are those open spots wizard towers or hidden teslas?
I lure out using one hog then I only use archers to take out clan castle troops. Once clan castle troops are finished drop in all my hogs from where I want to start, after drop of my king and wizards behind him, on the same side I dropped my hogs, so they clean up what is left. And only use heal spells no lightning.
We run all dragons against townhall 8s. Lvl 6 balloons in clan castle. Lightning the topmost air defense, use king or single dragon to clear some of the outer buildings near right side air defense. Deploy dragons on right side slightly spread out, not one big clump. They will handle ad and clan castle troops. As they push towards center and cc troops are dealt with, deploy balloons from left side by the archer tower. Loons should move up the line of defenses towards other ad.
Hogs. Send 1 hog into empty spots to trigger tesla and bb. Kill cc and let em rip
I'd agree its Dragoon over hogs as your hogs are under leveled (3 not 4) ... so I would be worried they will take too much damage from the max TH8 WTwrs.Quote:

If I had to attack this base I would probably do what we call a 105 Dragoon (10 Drags/5 max loons in CC). Attack line from 2, cut drags at 130/230 (need to get those two storages down). If you can get your cuts down successfully and funnel the main drag force between the ADS at 230/1 ... it can be three starred. It all depends on the cuts. Here is our walkthrough of the 105. Hope it helps:

I tried the 32 hogs, 20 archers and 5 wizards. They had 4 wizards in the CC that didn't come out when I launched the hog rider. Only archers came out first which I killed. Then I sent in my lvl 3 hogs which were mauled by 4 wizards which finally came out of the CC. It was too much of a hit and I got 0 stars. I have lvl 4 hog riders in the oven so hopefully those will help in the future.
This was my first time using mostly hog riders for an attack. Thanks for the learning experience guys.
Don't know why those wizards didn't come out. They should have.Quote:
