Relative to the tactics outlined in our TH8 series being off -- I think our CW record says it all -- every war we 3 star ALL enemy bases using these tactics. So, until that doesn't work, were going to say it is. LOL.

Good luck out there.

LOL, once again, you just can't listen to Saliva, especially CLICK, CLICK BOOM and have that be tame sounding... ;)

And I sure as heck don't have dog ears, so I remain confused by some of you who say you can't understand him because of the music... :confused: You can totally hear him just fine!

In any case, the 813 video is, by far, the best vid he's done to date. To this day, it still makes me laugh out loud listening to him when he says, "...the easiest is 9:00, so they blow, they blow 2:00!!" seemingly shocked at the choice!

Friggin classic stuff man...

O.k. Here is an idea -- Wryhorn sing along in the beginning ... LOL. Maybe I'll do a cut in during one video and be like "hold on, wait a sec -- CLICK CLICK BOOM -- silence -- back to video" ... that would make the anti-music posse light their laptops on fire.

What is the minimum hog level you'd go with for this attack? I only have level 3 hogs and am not sure if they will be enough for a maxed th8.

Answer is it depends on the density of damage hitting the hounds as they run to the target. How far they have to go (how long under damage) and spell levels. That said, under heal, I would think level three hogs can survive the beat down for 1 maybe two hops into AD. Especially if you can get some distract from the Dragon team.

I am facing two bases that fit this attack style- both have 2AD's within 2 hops of the wall. One is AD555, one is AD444. I only have level 1 hogs, but level 5 balloons. Can I still use this attack? I'm worried the balloons will get shot down before their target. And what would my troop composition be?

Yeah, you would use rage instead of heal for the loons coming in on those targets. Leader loon if you have to breech a wiz tower first. Also time it so most of what is shooting the loons is distracted (i.e. let the drags get locked). Might carry 5 loons for each snipe team (so maybe 9/4) and then 9 dragons? Heal for drags as they are sucking up damage.

Sorry, I thought this attack was lightning on the deep AD, then two snipe teams for the others? Which is why I was worried about balloons getting shot down quickly.

This is the link to my original thread, with pics of the bases (#12)

No Dragon Snipe is about Dragons bum rushing on AD while snipe teams (hogs/loons) under spell supp (heal/rage) attack the backside 2 ADs and supporting defense when its locked/distracted (or before).
