I would suggest using GoWiWi or GoWiPe
It helps with saving some of that elixer
If all ADs are inthe core:
- mass dragons with L6 death loons in the CC
If you can reach 1-2 AD's are close to the perimeter:
- HoLoDrag - 3-8 hogs to destroy 2 perimeter ADs, 3 lightning to get rid of the last one, drops your drags and CC
If you are concerned about mass dragon's elixir cost, the 813.12 DragLoon and its variants, strategy are pretty good. If not, mass drag is almost a guaranteed 2 star against other th8s and premmie or early th9s with a weak 4th AD. Mass hogs with heals and archer/wizard support is good if the base is tight with no empty spaces, however you would have to still lure the cc and send in tester hogs for outside GBs and spring traps, BK/AQ will wreck hogs, so the archers/wizards are gonna have to be fast to support the hogs that are dying.
You can barch a TH 8 with heal spells and get two stars. Do your clan a favor and go for 3 with hogs or dragloons.
Cheap and clan war army should not be in the same sentence. Use the strongest army you have, regardless of cost, every time.
At TH8 I was using GoWiPe with a lot of cw success.
Wow you must be in a nice clan that is pretty carefree about wars. We lose loot in wars, its for glory and fun. Think of the top 5 who fill those clan castles for defense, donate max level expensive troops to support a giant wizard farming army so you can get 2 stars. Sounds selfish doesn't it? In fact our weakest th7 used 11 drags and 3 zaps to cleanup from such an attack and feels ♥♥♥♥♥ed as he could have raided a much higher base for greater loot reward if his clan mate had gone for the 3 star. That mate is on notice for the next war, repeat offense will be booted. Join a farming clan if that is how you feel about war.
bring your best to war or do not come to war. Victory rarely goes to the weak, cheap army.
Really, a 7 drag 17 balloon army is not that expensive or 30 hogs with wiz support. Heck even a wipe wiz/pekka is not that costly, i often use that as my 2nd if the base permits. 2 pekka, few cc trigger troops like hogs, loon, giant, few wb, rest wizards with max pekka in cc gets 2 stars on most th8.

Truth is regardless of the cost of the army, if you're attacking bases at your level you should make out on about 1 aspect of the loot as a profit. If you get 275k of each (550k) and you run full drags with spells your elixer expense is about 420k. So no loss really, just a resource trade.
There are only two places that I can tell where we get to use the most potential out of this games strongest troops. War and Trophy Pushing. Outside of that, Loonion for DE farming in C1/Masters. I ask myself, do I just want to raid with Barbarians and Archers, is that fun enough for me to play this game? NOPE! WAR until I hit my stride at Th10 then I'll give the trophy push a go..
GOOD LUCK AND SPARE NO EXPENSE!
If you plan on using this strat, use 12 wb and reduce your wiz to 16. Add 2 pekkas and the rest archers to make it a giwipe strat. Use 1-2 giants to test for traps and then release all followed by wb, wiz and bk. Use archers to lure cc.Quote:
