It really depends on who you're attacking but I sometimes use Dragon (Drags & Loons) on my alt, which is a TH7. 6 Drags, 10 Loons and the rest Archers and I've been having a lot of success with 2 & 3 stars on TH8s (they weren't very leveled up of course.) If you just want to use one or two Drags, I suggest just using Giants and Wiz to take out some of the Air Defenses and then dropping your Drags afterward. A few of them still pack a punch if there aren't any Air Defenses smacking at them.
Dragoon [My Fav] & Dragoonion with Heal & rage Spells
I am th7, my clan is too small to war, but I want to farm dark elixir, because I plan on using minions extensively.
For wars, what works best for TH 7s is, 2-3 Dragons with the rest Loons along with a few troops to take out the CC troops. Take 2 Heal spells & 1 rage Spell. Dragon Lvl 1 will work okay but for Loons, you will need to upgrade them to Lvl 4. Then, you can 3 star even maxed out TH 7s. I've done at many times when i had lvl 1 Drag & lvl 4 Loons.
If you use Dragoon like this, you can easily reach Crystal League by 3 & 2 starring other players in Multi-player. From there, you can farm DE for anything. You will get 100 DE from the win bonus & so many bases have 500+ DE to give.
If your Clan is a small one, try changing it because you can get around 1k DE per war if you win, as a TH 7.
If you don't already have the King, get the King before thinking about using the Minions.
I'd recommend you get more drag barracks.. at least 3, that really helps. Mass drags are good, but theres also seperate types of dragoon attacks that work exceptionally well provided you know how to use them.
with this boost i have been seeing success with 8 drags, 20 minions and 3 lightning.
much like a mass drag attack in war, you hit the strongest or best placed AD then go in. I drop a drag to opposite points, fan the remaining 6 and then the minions clean up behind.
GREAT for raids when your selectively hunting DE or gold. TRASH for elixir raiding because lvl 3 drags cost so much.
To farm DE, use giants, wall breakers, wizards and archers.
I like using BAM for farming DE.
Lately, I've been having luck with a modified BAM where I replace 10 of the minions with a single dragon. In most raids I don't even need to use the dragon, but when I need to push through to a DE storage or something that my barch army couldn't QUITE push all the way through to, having the dragon on standby really helps. Basically, as long as the barch can take out the nearest AD, you can push through to pretty much anything. Sometimes even if they can't quite take out the AD but clear a path to it, dropping the dragon to draw it's fire followed by the minions to do damage more quickly will take it out before it can do any real damage, and leave the surrounding storages up for grabs. Best of all, I still have some minions on hand to perform their usual "drop a couple in areas not covered by towers/AD to get that last 50%" function.
