8 Going After Low 9

I seem to have hit a wall lately and have tried to branch out a bit with different attacks. Everything is maxed for an 8 except for valk (1), golem (1), and pekka (1). I did ok with hogs on my first attempt but everything after that has been a complete failure. I will be practicing more with them a bit in multiplayer to get a better feel for it. So now I have to go up against a few low 9's and I'd like to redeem myself a bit. I think I can do a drag hog combo on the first as they are rushed but the second base is probably going to be another practice session for me. I'm thinking Gowiva. I'm assuming golems will merge into the corner opening and wiz clears out the garbage. There are a lot of high hit point structures there so I'm thinking the CC will be past the remaining wall by the time I can send in the valks. Any comments?

I think you have a good plan. I've only used valks for cc kill so I'm not sure about their potential as an inventory troop. Honestly imo Id bring wiz instead. 2 Lvl5 wiz I think would be a better damage dealer than one lvl1 valk. The side you've chosen to attack from is also a good choice. That corner wall is an easy access into the core. It appears the xbows are set to ground so keep wiz covered by golems. It may pay to throw in just one pekka as well. Another tank troop that can help secure the second star. Good luck. You got this.

Well, I was able to get 2 stars but for my second time running it out there, I had a few correctable mistakes. The first was that I forgot to send in the WBs and allowed the Golems to knock on the wall for too long. Realized it a bit to late and by that time the Valks ran in and took care of it. The wizards took a bit of time to get through the storages so they left the golems hanging for a bit as well. Dropped the heal when the CC came out which had a balloon. Dropped a rage and the TH was down in no time. But then I hit a panic button and dropped a heal a little behind and early. Valks went to the core and faced the heroes and a bunch of teslas with no heal. Correct the WB drop and the heal drop and I may have had a good chance. The golems would have been to the core first instead of the wizards and valks and a good heal drop would have healed up the valks for the back end.

Figure I'll practice with it a bit in multiplayer. All my elixer upgrades are pretty much done and I'm just waiting on the lab to send in a pekka. So in the mean time I can run more expensive elixir troops out for DE diving that will feed these practice runs.

Two starring a TH one level above you is a heroic attack front runner within my circle. Nice work.
