Low level clan beating high level CC troops in war.

Hi, we are a clan of mostly level 5-6 town halls, with our top five to ten players being levels 7-10. Just having a war, and the thing that is giving us trouble is the opposing clan has a lot of high level CC donations.

At at first many in our clan thought we had an easy matchup. The enemy cla has thirty member, probably 20 level sic town halls and a couple of fives and a couple higher.

however, the war is al out done and it looks like we will lose.

The he enemy has one Valkyrie in all of the bases for defense surrounded by barbarians, and a dragon for attacking.

this is my first encounter with a a Valkyrie and I was one of the first to attack. I had a giant and wizard army, mostly wizards. I was planning on hitting fast and quick. I a, level five, close to six, and it seems wozards are my best choice at this point, although the second attack I took a more balanced army.

when the Valkyrie came out she just mowed through a lot of my guys. I led her out, as did a lot of my clan mates and surrounded her, but she really did a lot of damage. Some of my mates had hordes of barbarians that just got sliced through like butter.

What at could we do better next time? How do you counter a Valkyrie?

second is the dragon. Just one I think alone could walk through an entire level five base. Even some level sixes. They just don't seem to die. I just watched one getting hit with air mines, three archer towers and a wizard tower and it did not die. Mwhen it came close they use a healing spell.

how can you stop these donated drogpms in a war? Or can you just not at town hall level five and six? Thanks for the help.

Valkyrie: distract with a giant, then kill her off with three or so wizards behind her. No point circling valorise deal splash damage in a circle as they spin.

Dragon: They are OP up until TH9 basically, you can't really stop them unless you manage to whip up an anti-dragon base (centralised AD)

These are usual tactics used to foil lower level 3 stars. I suggest you adopt them as well. For Valkyries, you can lure them out, kill other troops, and kill Valkyries with air troops. Or use a giant or two, and wizzies behind. Barbs die in a second. And dragons.... Yeah, nothing you can actually do about it.

Ok, good ideas about the Valkyries. So these are common low level war tactics? I think I've been in a out five wars now. Since we aren't a big time clan, they don't put us against the other big time clans. So I haven't yet learned all of the common tactics.

nothing I can do about the donated dragons huh? I can't think of anything either. I will be level six in about a week, and i can't really think of anything I can do about it of another level six, along with the rest of their army, brings along a donated dragon. I watched as the anti air defenses, from towers to balloons and everything tried to shoot them down, and they didn't do too much damage. It wasn't super close.

The only thing I can think of is that they may not be able to three star you if you take out the rest of their army, because a dragon alone may not have time to kill everything by itself.

Draw out the dragon with a giant surround the dragon with archers
