First Time GoWiPe

I'm a TH8 and finally just unlocked my Golems. I'm going to try a GoWiPe for the first time this week in war. I watched some videos on it and the video maker says it's pretty easy, even doing it badly should get 2 stars against a TH8. So it's just drop 2 Golems, drop 3 PEKKA, wait til the defenses engage with the Golems and then drop 11 Wizards, and then blow open holes with up to 10 wall breakers. Is that about it? Any other advice?

How I do it (and most people) is:

1) Lure CC (since the golems are weak at lvl1, so are the pekkas) and do the usual drag into corner and eliminate with ️️archers/barbarians. Try and spare a few archers or barbarians if possible.

2) Place golems (apart or together, I would do them apart) and open the walls with your WBs (save some, don't spam them all)

3) Place wizards in a straight line to clean up any excess buildings that may be in the way of the pekkas.

4) When the buildings are gone, deploy your pekkas so that they go into the base alongside the golems.

5) The wizards should either going into the base with the pekkas and golems or off to the side. Try to avoid that but if it happens then you're still getting percentage points.

6) Use 1 rage spell if the golems and pekkas encounter any difficulties (like defences attacking them while golems are punching a wall), and use the other one when the troops enter or get close to the core. Place the heal spell when the pekkas/golems are low health (around half health and lower).

Exactly how I do it. Well said my man

You mentioned a rage and heal spell. What's the third? In the videos, I saw lightning, to easily wipe out clan troops. Or do you bring another rage/heal?

great advice.

some bases you might have to use up too many troops to lure cc, so a well placed heal where the cc troops initiate battle will help (must make sure you have enough wizards following your golem to help fight the cc troops).

One thing I notice is that people tend to drop wizards late make sure you try to drop wizards slightly spread out as soon as all the defenses target your golem (position them so they don't get hurt by ANY defenses.. the more wizards that live, the higher probability of getting 3 stars).

Here's several 3 star attack replays of th8 GoWiPe along with troop composition used that might help you with execution.

If you lure their CC then there is no need for a lightning spell. I think rage spell is so much more effective and efficient personally. just lure their CC troops to a corner and drop barbs and archers or a wizard or two behind the barbs. But once the golems get in near the core with the wiz and pekka behind them, a rage spell will make easy work of their CC troops.

And is this a proper GoWiPe composition:

2 Golems (60)
3 PEKKAs (75)
11 Wizards (44)
8 WB (16)
1 Archer (1)
1 BK

2 rage, 1 heal

Anything different? 2 PEKKAs and more archers?

And what do you normally bring in your clan castle? I have 20 space there.

What I would suggest is make 1 Golem yourself, and have your CC loaded with higher level Golem from a clan mate. That way you can build more Wizards/Archers/Barbs for cleanup and your CC kill squad.

Thanks, that's good advice, but I'm in a bit of a beginner clan and I'm the only one with Golems or Valkyries. I'm on my own there. I'll ask for five wizards. Also, a golem is 30 space and I only have 20 in my CC.

The biggest noob mistake is dropping your pekkas too early. They will go in crcles around the base and you get a one star.
