I am a Town Hall 8 with Level 1 Hogs, which I have never actually used before. They're now upgrading to Level 2 and will be done in 8 days.
Are Level 1 Hog Riders strong enough to be used well at Town Hall 8?

It completely depends on the base. Me, being a farmer, often use only archers and goblins. It would also be better to only attack bases that can cover your DE outlay. However, I don't use them as I feel Golems or Giants (with healers) are better options. Obviously you are forfeiting the wall jumping ability but this can easily be remedied with wall breakers. I would recommend GoWiPe as an attack strategy in Clan Wars or trophy pushing.
A skilled Hogger at Th8 can use level 2's to good effect, even level 1's. Though they're weaker so you might not rely on them for a full Hog raid.. really depends on the base. I maxed my Hogs at Th8 and they crushed most any Th8. Some of the anti-Hog bases work and would need to be taken out with a different attack strategy (drag/loon, Gowipe) but all in all Hogs wreck house.
Hogs aren't that good until lvl3. Also, ANY th8 base can be completely smashed by hogsQuote:

As mentioned by someone earlier, it really depends on the base. look for bases that don't have room for gbombs in the middle. Also you MUST lure and destroy all cc troops before releasing your hogs or else you will have 0 chance to get 3 stars.
Yes easy. I use hogs 2 with mid level th9. Hogs are overrated imo. Of course I have seen the atypical brain dead on mass hog release. But they are unreliable and vulnerable and 5 spaces is a big troop loss. I use mayby 4 as a last resort backup for teslas and stuck on 49%ers.
Thanks guys. Yesterday I tried out Level 1 Hogs in mid to high level TH 8 and it worked really well.
Best wait til higher level hogs before hitting harder bases.
But here are some clips to help with deployment:
TH8 Ballonion, Dragon, Hogs

43 hogs is virtually unstoppable at th8 if they're level 4, but decent giant bombs will stop lower level hogs in their tracks even with proper healing. Max them then learn to mass hog them.
No level 2 hogs will not be reliable against th8 bases. As stated above, a level 2 hog cannot heal through a level 3 giant bomb. You will have to be very selective with your bases. I'm a th 7 with level 2 hogs and I use them all the time in raiding, but I only hit th8s that either have th7 defenses. Or no spaces for giant bombs inside the base. I rarely ever 3 star a max th 8 even if my hogs miss the giant bombs.
