That's just on loot bonuses, not considering the amounts that is actually looted from the actual raids itself.Quote:

update:
My barracks for pekka will finish upgrade during prep day of our next war. so I wont get much practice time using a pekka wizard army. I am going to possibly try it out though.
I have been farm raiding with loonion for the last 24 hours. Seeing 2 stars and the majority of the loot even with a buried set of AD to squash.
Once the current research finishes, (minion lvl 3) I cant decide if I want to aim for Rage lvl 5 or hog lvl 2 upgrade.
Any suggestions?
Hey Kristine,
Agreed you don't really need advice. But here's some ideas for you.
For farming with barch, throw some giants and wbs into the mix. Giants obviously distract, wbs get through to outer loot, and barch can then enter. I also sometimes use heal spells since barch gets rocked by mortars/wix towers.
For war, your drag army works. At th8, hog armies work, too, as someone on here mentioned. One consideration is whether or not you want to use lightening for cc or take it out yourself. I prefer the latter because lightening doesn't take out cc drags. I'm th9, so I have 20 more troops than you. But here's a strat that works extremely well for me on all bases up to near maxed th9s, and I'm revising it for you since you have 20 fewer troops:
18 giants, 4 hogs, 7 archers, 7 barbs, 14 wbs, 12 wizs. Send the hogs in first at the cc to lure. Right behind them bust open a wall with 2 wbs. Let the hogs get killed, and then drop an archer out of range somewhere. When their cc comes out, release barbs first at it, then archers, then 2 wizs. This should take it out. Then send in giants at open space you broke open and one other space either down a straight line from original space or around a corner. Follow that second stream of giants with 2 wbs. This should get your giants into the base in 2 places. Use heals on giants, and release wizs behind them followed by wbs in groups of 2. When your wizs get in the center, rage them. Also, if you break through walls strategically, you can get wizs and king in center and rage both them and the remaining giants.
This really works -- I use the barch army above and this army here a lot. I'm lvl 110, never gem, and have a sick th9 if you wanna check mine out -- my clan is jerkpatrol lol.
Good luck farming and in war!!!
On your second attack in war look for an open design base, i mean few compartments with multiple buildings in each compartment.
The best is a box within a box design, this is great for pekka based attacks. Attack from the side you are most likely to breach without multiple defenses targeting you, it's hard to time wb with 2+ mortars, wiz and canon firing on that spot.
Pekka is dragon slow, so clear side building that tempt her to wander outside of base with wizards, drop pekkas so they each go down an inside path or heading toward core, once she has busted through, send in the valks and wiz behind her and keep the wiz walking the outside. Valks do best in cramp areas where she doesn't have to wander far to unleash her spin attack.
Look up the valkyrie handbook here under valhalla files.
GoWiPe is a nice 2 star attack that is pretty hard to fail at.
Dragon raids, search for JTJ University by WryHorn here and on youtube, he has demystified dragon raids like 105.21 (10 drags 5 level 6 balloons in cc), 813 and 717 Dragoon 8 or 7 drags with 13 or 17 loons (max loons in CC).
My clan has lots of success with hogs4 in war vs the right base (easily identified giant bomb locations, no double giant bombs) and is usually a 3 star vs early th9 or max th8's.
I have not gotten my loons 5 yet so my war attacks are either mass dragon 105.21 for core AD bases or WiVaPe for others. Last 2 wars I was upgrading for golems and did not have valks so it was dragon only. My bases were not great fit for dragons so I did not 3 star any. It is possible for th8 to defend dragons now with design and the addition of the skeleton traps so I am happy to get my prized girls back (Valks and Pekka!!) the golem is just a nice tank.
In my opinion, giants level 5 are less than worthless in wars except when going against th7 level defenses (wiz4, mortar 5) and even then they are iffy.
You can always try a giant wiz swarm 16-18 giants rest wizards with heal rage spells, if the base is receptive.
My hogs are 2, minions 3 finishing soon then I want to do Loons 5 as dragoonian can do well vs certain layouts.
I will not do pekka or golem for many more weeks and my clan has a solid 2 star record with level 1 gowipe. Towards the end of my TH8 journey, when golem2 and pekka3, I fully expect to take on much stronger th9 in wars.
For now, its dragon 105.21, WiVaPe and now GoWi(Va)Pe as the base dictates.
The best TH8 composition is GoWiWi assuming you have clan mates that can donate 2 L2 witches in clan castle. You will 3* any TH8 and 2* most TH9s.
3 golems (level 1 works fine)
17 wall breakers
19 wizards
2 heal
1 rage
2 witch +1 archer in CC
1. Drop golems in a line far apart from each other. I like to just drop them at each corner of the map and one up the middle.
2. Drop all wizards in a line behind the golems
3. Wait until outside buildings and buildings inside the first layer of walls are destroyed.
4. Drop wall breakers on each side and up the middle to let the golems in.
5. Once you hear the clan castle music, drop witches and BK up the middle.
6. Drop rage spell on the witches and enemy's CC.
7. Drop all remaining wall breakers into the rage spell.
8. Use heal spells to keep the biggest group of troops alive.
This strategy works best for CCs that are hard to lure and where you need to break the first layer of walls to pull.
Another key is step #3. Don't drop wall breakers until all defenses behind the first wall are destroyed by the wizards.
Man I am in one crappy slump. Last 3 wars I have not gotten more than 2 stars per war and it's really ticking me off. I recently upgraded to Lvl 2 hogs and tried a mass hog attack (35) and it was going well until a freaking giant bomb killed 10 all at once and that was my last pack. The AI of this game really gets to me, I just can't understand it.
Other attacks I've tried are a combination of Giants, Wiz and Pekkas with no success. I guess I just haven't found a flow yet but damn I am missing out on so much war loot when I am the #6 member of our clan as a TH8 and although I "think" I have knowledge on attacking and such it seems my implementation of it just sucks!
Going to go back through this thread and read up again. :(
