Currently sitting in Masters 1 at 3040 cups. Any advice either offense or defense to make the final push into champions? I am a th10 with max troops and decently upgraded defenses, if that helps. Thanks guys :)

You can easily GoWipe, GoWiWi, Loonion, or Lavoonion your way to champs! Good Luck!
Just made it to champs and am now farming here, I used loonion. If u want replays to learn just drop by and we can show u pointers!
I just made it to Champ from Master1 and I was using these (2) troop combinations...
All Air Raid:
(2) hounds
(30) minions
(20) balloons
(20) archers
K&Q with full (35) CC
All Ground Raid:
(2) golemns
(12) hogs
(12) wizards
(12) WB'ers
(48) archers
K&Q with full CC
All troops max level, good luck
You must have patience, if you don't, use gems.
Always use spells, your heroes and count your defence always as a loss.
Attack only when you can win and if the trophies are higher than 24 for a two star.
Good luck.
P.s. a good clan can help a lot.
As others have said only attack if you are absolutely sure you will win, the next button is your friend.
Also you often lose less trophies (and definitely less resources) if you leave your TH out. In low Champ and when approaching it if your TH is out then 4 out of five defences will be TH snipes from players often hundreds of cups above you for a 1 or 2 trophy loss. Occasionally you will get someone who does a full out attack anyway and gets two stars but if your TH is in then more than half your defences will be two stars anyway.
It is very easy to stall at 3100 cups. Use the attack you are comfortable attacking with that is reliable in your hands, and don't go in a base you are unsure of. Try to find bases the offer the greatest trophy reward as well that meet the above criteria. Any loss at this point will demoralize you and set you back hours, so do not get impatient. As for leaving your town hall out if you are near max TH 10 you will be inviting a two star attack. I have never stopped with just the town hall when I am trophy hunting, and the majority of attacks on me when I have had my town hall out have gone for two stars as well. Some TH9 clanmates in our recent trophy push had good luck leaving the town hall out. A max town hall 9 has little hope of defending but in low champions a solid town hall 10 base has at least a chance.
Try to raid in a set that is long enough to more than cover anticipated losses when you go off line. A one star mostly will cost under 10 cups, 4 to 6 has been pretty common for me.
Be patient and don't get sloppy and you will make it.
Just did the same thing a couple of weeks ago. There are a couple of base designs that can get a defence win, perhaps check them out. The town hall clearly free to snipe is another great tactic... i've done that since being in champs, the most cups i've lost is 4, normally 1-2, which is easy to get back, plus my elix has not been raided.
I barched to mid masters 1, then switched to lava-loonian, 2 hounds, 20 minions, rest balloons plus 2 wall breakers & balloons in CC. Most raid 1-2 stars, & depending on base didn't need heroes. Used 5 spells - 2 freeze, 3 rage. I used a few gems to finish spells off when i was very close to champs (lack of patience!).
Note: the southern / northern teasers with 1 AD centrally placed in the teaser section are often 2 stars, especially when you find ones without heroes, - these turn up often, and a number have less than maxed air defence. Just need to watch wiz tower placement - ideally the wiz towers need to be nearer the edges, so 2 won't be an issue for the balloons.
GOOD LUCK
I find TH in is best when you are below 3300 - it's pretty annoying to get sniped by some little TH for 10+ cups, and you might just get a couple of wins on your way up. Over 3300-ish is when more high-up champs will find you and gladly take a free 1-2 cups to save them some gems etc. So I only put my TH out over 3300, at which point it's a good 90% 1-2 cup snipes.
In terms of how to get there, you can find 30+ offers all the way to 3200, so just keep pressing Next until you find a 30+ offer where you are sure you can get 2 stars (1 if you mess up). Oh and of course take every TH snipe you can find with your AQ - free cups, and a precious elixer top-up - just be sure to watch out for the occasional person who thinks its smart to trap their TH (these are pretty much always not right in the corner).
I got to Champs for the first time using this tactic, and it only took me a couple of weeks (starting in low M3) raiding literally about 3 times a day - almost always a single raid per session, so no gems required. I used GoWiPe, keeping my CC troops for emergency use and defense, but the army isn't that important - what's important is you know how to get 2 stars over 50% of the time vs a good TH10...
