I'm a TH8 with everything max leveled except my King (lvl 5), my Archer Towers (lvl 9), my teslas, (lvl 4 and 5), and my walls (224 lvl 7 and 1 lvl 8). My war base is virtually immune to dragons*, I've made extensive use of teslas to divert dragloon attacks, very hog unfriendly**, but very normal looking in that it is not spread out and not super compact either. I'm not showing a picture because my base is 100% original.
Recently in wars, I've been attacked by TH8's using an army composition of something like: 2 Golems, 12 Giants, 10 WB, and the rest Wizards with 2 Heals and a Rage. I've been 3 starred 2/2 times when the attacker used this strategy. Why is this strategy effective, or why is it used at all in place of GoWiPe?
*A TH9 with 12 level 3 drags and a level 20 king and queen ended with an 86% 2 star. Spell placement was good, not great, and the dragon funnel was good, not great. The base just paths drags to storages that are in range of air defenses.
**There are a total of 4 potential double bomb traps inside the base, all of which are in the second level, where the air Defenses and mortars are, not the cannons and archer towers.
