hey guys,
this topic is just a small but important part of my main guide for 3 stars in clan wars, but i think it's worth it's own thread. i'm using this kind of luring and destroying with my loonion or lavaloonion attacks. hope you will like it, and if you do please let me know :)

can you reach the clan castle?
the first thing you should ask yourself if wether you can easily reach the clan castle. there are generally two king of bases:
1. clan castle in right in the center, and totally out of reach. for example here:

in this kind of base, don't waste troops especially for the clan castle. start your attack on some part of the base with limited troops and destroy defenses (i do it with loonion), and the troops will come out by themselves. once they are out, you can take care of them. i've seen people trying to send hogs in or giants. it's a total waste most of the time. use your troops wisely.
here, i'm taking care of the outter ring, and once my balloons will destroy the defenses they will go to the center and trigger the clan castle.

now you can easily take care of them. as you can see, most of them didn't even survive that loon attack, so made it even easier:

2. the clan castle is in a good reachable location. for example here:

in this case, again, dont just send some troops only for the clan castle. go get some defenses that would trigger the clan castle troops and take care of them after they're out. in this case for example,i destroyed all 4 corners while the troops were coming out:

the types of troops you'll have to deal with
archers+wizards
lure in the previous method, and gather (with minions, archers or barbs):

drop one balloon next to them, in a direct line with the closest defense. make sure you drop the balloon at the right distance. if those are many archers with wizards, drop it really close to the CC troops. if it's just few troops, drop it a bit more far. the balloon have to get killed exactly above the CC troops and kill them:

make sure you don't gather the CC troops between two defenses with the same distance to them. you can't know where the balloons will go, and you might miss out the CC and waste more troops
never gather where the are red X:

dragon
no worries, just sorround it with some minions, and drop the arch queen behind. if you're a th8 or lower, take some wizards with you and drop them behind the minions.

witch
don't bother about witches when making an air attack (they can't do much damage to air troops and will die from some falling balloon), but if you really gotta take it out, 2 minions are totally enough!!
hogs/giants/barbs/any ground troop
worse mistake ever for your enemy. just drop 1-2 minions and it's totally enough. notice that they will be triggered only by your ground troops.
healer
no need to bother about her. never seen someone use it in war.
minions
same like with a dragon. you can use archers /wizards as well
