Silver 3 Road Block

right now i'm TH level 4. i have all my defenses troops and camps upgraded except the balloon's. so far i have just been overwhelming towns with barbarians. but the walls and mortars are becoming difficult. i've tried all giants. i've tried all archers. i've tried giants and archers. i've tried giants and barbarians. i've thrown in a wall breaker to get the giants to the defenses quicker. i can't seem to find the right balance against any town that has upgraded walls. not sure if i suck or i'm simply outclassed and taking on more than i can handle at this point. was kinda hoping you guys can give me a few tips about how to get better at attacking.

You are a complete noob... that's all.

Join a clan if you haven't and fill up your clan castle with troops as much as you can. Try 6 wall breakers, 10 giants, and the rest a mix of barbarians and archers. No need for spells at your level.

i'm in a clan. i always have troops in my castle. i don't have spells yet. 2 wall breakers always gets me to the defenses but the giants can't take them all out while the archers and barbarians go for structures.

At your level, at all levels, the higher you go up, the harder it gets. You might have reached the point.

possibly, i noticed most bases have colored walls and wizard towers which i don't have yet. so i know most bases are out of my range. but i still struggle with bases my own level. so i know part of my struggle is just being a nub and not knowing tricks and strategies.

Silver 3 is going to primarily be TH5 and TH6. Why are you trying to go higher? Are you trying to hit 1250 for the achievement for your 4th builder or are you just looking for loot? Trophies don't matter at TH4 other than 4th builder and finding the right farm range.

Barch is love, Barch is life.

If you're trying to take out TH 6s with your TH 4 army, then forget it! You can't. Unless of course it's a noob base design. You can still 2 star a TH 5 base with your army. You will find many TH 5s at Silver 3 & a few in Silver 2 as well.

If your army camps are maxed, go for 5 Giants, 3 wbs, 14 Barbs, 20 Archers, 3 balloons. With this army comp, you can take out TH 4s easily & some TH 5s as well. But watch out for the air defense. & try to busy the Wizard tower on your Giants & take it out with your loons.

i am primarily attacking for resources. i don't attack any TH5+ towns. i mainly look for towns with lots of collectors outside their walls. this way i can walk away with easy resources and usually one star for destroying 50%. but if i actually try to get through the walls and destroy the defenses i usually get owned and walk away without the star or resources. do most players attack towns their own level or do most upgrade their base and then pick on smaller towns?

Just barch collectors, don't worry about trophies. Doesn't matter the townhall level if collectors are on the outside. You may not 50% higher ths but it doesn't matter. Your goal is resources, and when you come across exposed th or same level th pick up the star with barch and you'll maintain some trophies. You don't have to 2 or 3 star.

At TH 4 and 5 I BAG, barbs, archers, goblins, in about equal amounts. It is very cheap and very good at getting resources. Just be a little patient to let the goblins out. 35% and all the resources is a WIN!!! You will 1 and 2 star some bases too.
