Share your GoWiPe experience as a TH 8
After getting my Wizards to lvl 5 & getting my Golems + Pekkas unlocked, I really wanted to try out the GoWiPe strategy.
After boosting my barracks, setting a builder on upgrade & starting an upgrade in the Lab, I had over 3 Million elixir & 10k+ DE to waste. :p So, I thought of trying out the GoWiPe strategy.
Though before the raids [shown below], I tried it out once before using it in my War attack & it went Okay, giving me a 2 star [70%+] on a Mid TH 8. I did get disappointed since my Pekkas messed up & so a few of my Wizards but I still wanted to try it out in my War attack. Surprisingly, everything went well in War giving me a 3 star on a TH 8 [Stronger than the one I attacked in raid on whom I got 2 stars]
So, to waste my resources [& to have Fun Ofc] I started using GoWiPe. I would keep my army trained & would attack when my shield was about to run out giving me a chance of making a GoWiPe attack twice a day & giving a chance of donating wizards to my Clan-mates [Which I don't usually do :p ]
What I learned from my experience is that as a TH 8, even if you mess up, you can,
→ 3 star a Mid TH 8 easily
→ 2 star a Maxed TH 8
→ Make it to the center of a low-Mid TH 9 base.
Below are the raids I made.

Details of the above attacks;
King Carl: An almost maxed TH 8 base with TH outside
[He avenged me taking 15% loot]
Putra: a Mid TH 8 with TH outside [I didn't attack the cornered TH]
[Skull walls but defenses not maxed]
Densus 88: an almost Maxed TH 8 with TH outside [I didn't attack the cornered TH]
[Avenged me with mass Drags taking 100% loot]
King Kamil: A Low-Mid TH 8 with centralized TH [With maxed TH 7 defenses]
[Golems went in the same compartment & messed up the attack]
Zhuwenxiao1121: A new TH 9 with centralized TH [With maxed TH 8 defenses]
[Luckily, Pekkas executed perfectly on his base]
eddz: An Mid TH 9 with centralized King+Queen & Unlureable CC
[Got to the centralized DE storage ;) ]
Overall, it's kinda fun using GoWiPe even if it fails since I found it cheaper than Mass Drags [I'm not really saving DE for anything] & even if I get attacked, I know I can get back the amount stolen from me as long as it's not a strong TH 9. Though being in Gold 3/2, I have to use at least 50+ nexts to find a base worth attacking, Strong [But not too strong] with good loot to cover up the cost.
I'm still learning & hopefully, before I go to TH 9 [Which is a long way to go] I'll be better at it. :p
