some tips
Def.
Make sure ALL of your Defenses are maxed if you are serious. it will help so much more. TH is now most important 'resource' or structure if you will. protect it like you protected your farmed gold! Re-design is necessary, place TH in the Center or close to.. protect well. use storages to tank for the TH. a properly set up base will protect your Trophies and some resource too. but they can have the resource... you want to protect that TH. and thus trophies.
Off
If it starts soon, then start now. you'll be a head of the game, and can use this time to start making a plan and seeking out bases that suit your style of attacking. you really only need enough resource to go into battle, Troops and Spells.. you are playing to win now don't lose sight of that. Win 50% or the TH, resource be damned!! (if you get some cool, but you want to WIN sonn. do not compromise a win for loot!) Losses will hurt as you will lose precious trophies, so plan well.
I started using Dragons (lvl2) toward the end of my push, but if you make them, you don't need to go all out Dragon. 2-3 per raid was good. backed with Archers and Giants, or Barbs. (1 Barrack to make a few Giants and rest Archers; 3 barracks staggered to make dragons, got one every 10-15 min, by then I had some Archers and could raid; plus now at least, TH8 has 2Dark Barracks to supplement.. be aware of extra A/Defs now though.) also, ask clansmen to get u some good CC troops to help with the plan. like Giants would help tank for your Barb/Arch combo. then you only need to make a few but can release like 5-10 on a base every 20 min. depending on how many you make for yourself.
Go for the TH. its guaranteed win. if its buried deep, WB and a Rage spell maybe BK too.
Otherwise work for areas with the most buildings, but the fewest defenses. or easily disabled defenses. (exposed or in archer range)
if you want reso, make some Gobs/minions to finish up after the proper defenses are down. but get the win at all costs.
Make adjustments and you should be ok.
Good Luck monn.
