Results: Barch is super useful, an all-rounder tough strat, BAM and GiBarch ARE cheap, get a lot of loot, but siphons more elixir(both kinds for BAM).
Dragons are OK. WAY too costly but today in my rage of getting 48% on a th9 whose BK killed my giants turned my valve and I......TRAINED DRAGONS.

They're overpowered for a TH 8 as they can 3 star every TH 8 base, for a town hall 9, thats when they get severely weak. And town hall 10, they're pure ****

If you're a th8 and you get three starred by dragons, you're a very, VERY bad th8.

You my friend are the one who needs to learn more about CoC if you don't think that dragons at lower THs are OP in wars. Maybe you didn't war as a TH7 or 8 or rushed to a higher TH level(don't know what TH you are at now), but ummmm.....

Every war, all the TH7s and 8s, use mass dragons on both sides EVERY TIME. Well there are a few that don't and get low to no stars, but they are just being cheap.

My point is not that dragons aren't overpowered in the day to day game for lower level THs, they cost a lot and have high training time. BUT in war that doesn't matter and it's sucks that it's really THE option if you want an easy 3 star and be safe. Too easy. Would be nice to have to find a good troop combo or strategy at those THs, but no sense doing anything but dragons.

On this, I do actually think dragons need to be changed slightly.

Lv 1 & 2 Dragon should have their HP dropped a little. As TH7, early TH8 are getting slaughtered by them brainlessly.

Lv 3 Dragon is fine. As that is a late TH8/TH9 troop. To beat a strong TH8 or early TH9 you need to be smart with Dragons to win.

Lv 4 Dragon should have it's HP increased a little. As they die far too quickly against TH10 bases. Lavaloonion is miles ahead as the air troop to use.

Since more buildings (storages recently) have been buffed with more health points, dragons have gotten weaker. If the pattern continues where more buildings get hp buffs, then they would maybe have to rebalance dragons. But for now they are balanced, in my opinion.

The big thing with dragons that makes them so useless at higher levels is that they are only really effective en masse. Not really sure what they could do to change that though.

They are the same as all troops. You need the right strategy and base to attack. In our last war our number 1 player (Lv 135, almost max TH10 except walls) was attacked by a combo of giants, hogs and then a majority dragons. Excellent attack. Well executed and got 2 stars with 54% and town hall.
All troops can suck if you use them badly or on the wrong base but to say Drags are useless on high bases is simply untrue.

Lavaloonion > any dragon based attack against TH10s.

They're not OP. OP is when you deploy troops anywhere you want and they 3-star a base with your eyes closed. That's not the case for TH8 at least.. Yes, lvl 3 mass drag can destroy ANY TH8 (maxed also), but you need a good strat to do that (read: it requires some skill actually).
