Im going to use 7 dragons in my attack and was wondering what I should look for in a base to attack (resources and trophies wise) and also should I spread them out or put all in a group together? I am level 42. And I have 1200 trophies.
Thanks,

Seven dragons is a pretty costly army setup (175K elixir at lvl 1). I would suggest sticking to a more cost effective traditional army composition (barb/archer/gob/wb) unless you have a problem with maxing out elixir.
To answer your question, if I recall correctly, most players deploy dragons in an L shape. This avoids splash damage from air bombs and wizard towers.
I also raid with dragons (lvl 2) at 1600 trophy level. My typical combo is 3 lightning, 25 archers, 15 barbs, king, and 8 dragons. I look for TH9 with max loot, ground-only xbows, and bad air defense positions. Thanks to the loot bonus I can constantly get 300k each with 1500+ DE.
I will take out the most upgraded, and centered air defense with lightning, then take out another AD hopefully with my king and some archers, then work on the 3rd with the rest of my ground troops. Then I will deploy ally dragons near the 4th so it can be taken down while causing min damage. The dragons will spread out themselves to comb thru the base and you can sit back and relax.
The biggest 2 threats to dragons are air defense and air-covering xbows. So don't attack with dragons if the base has 4 upgraded AD in the middle or xbows pointing toward the sky at 45 degree angle.
Interesting tactic. Do you only do this raid once in the morning after building the army overnight or do you only battle with this army composition?Quote:

L shape works pretty well - since dragons attack the closest target, this formation ensures that your troops would move towards the center and ensures an even "sweep" through the base. If you had just deployed them in a bunch, not only would you be vulnerable to splash, you also risk the dragons spreading out and going around the base instead. Same principle applies to pekkas, actually.
You want to generally target bases with low level air defenses, or air defenses that are closer to the outside edges that can be taken out before they do too much damage.

Exactly. Mass dragons are fun only when you have elixirs to spare, and are about to log off for a couple hours or more.Quote:

After raiding and I used up everything, I will put 3 lightning spells in queue and produce giant/archerss/goblins army to do a quick raid on weak bases, hoping to loot some exilir. Then I will build my main army of 8 dragons. This way I could raid twice during the 90 mins while waiting for the spells.Quote:

I think 1200 is a little low and you may have a hard time finding enough loot to make it worthwhile. Also I don't see a need for dragon raid unless you are looking for DE, and for DE you need to go up to 1500-1600 in order to see meaningful loot.Quote:
