so today i atked in war with dragloonion.however,i got no stars(was soooo close to 1).see this is what happened:
dragged out cc troops and killed em with a drag and like 6 minions.then i atked with evrything.
my army was 4 drags,15 bloons and 20 minions.im not sure if the atk went bad because i atked to high or cause i used to much on cc troops.can someone tell me what i did wrong and if my dragloonian army is good?i have 195 space atm
TH7, stick with mass dragon. Against another TH7 it's almost impossible to fail. Level 4 loons and low level minions are nowhere near as powerful as dragons.
^ agreed
3x lighting on the highest level ad or hardest to get to
mass dragons on the remaining ad
impossible to fail against th7... its literally stupid
I just recently been doing Dragloonion during war, because I can't sustain always doing Mass Dragon per war attack plus the long training time, since I only have two barracks upgraded to level 9. so I've been thinking of alternative strategies to 3 star bases.
Here's a little computation
Mass Dragon (lv 2 Drag) plus 3 lightning spells (lv 4 lightning) cost 360,000 Elixir per attack. You attack twice on war which will cost you 620,000 elixir.
While a Dragloonion army
My army comp is 6 Dragons, 8 Balloons, 20 Minions, 2 Rage, and 1 Heal and it cost 288,000 elixir plus 140 DE per attack.
I realized that it's not a huge reduction in cost but it kind of alleviates my training time because I can dedicate the two barracks to training dragons, two barracks to balloons, and dark barracks to minions then I log off do something else and comeback with my troops ready for the attack
well i never recieved notifs for this but anyways...
yeh after testing i did realize mass drag is better
however,i like to use 2 heal 1 rage rather than 3 lightning spells.its more opinion rlly but i prefer rage and heal
A dragon's worst nightmare is the Air Defense, and you have 2 of those to deal with at TH7. You are guaranteed to take one AD out with 3x properly placed, adequately leveled lightning spells. The remaining AD is no match for 10 L1 or L2 dragons, especially if you add another dragon in your clan castle.Quote:

3x L4 lightning also uses less elixir than 2 L4 heal and 1 L4 rage.

3)i'd only use 3 lightnings because its cheaper.except tht idc bout loot matters during war,i care bout winning
just saying a few things,not mad or anything if i did sound mad
this thread turned from dragloonion to mass drag lol
so i recently tested the final 2 mass drag variations i was told to do by u guys and people irl.one of them was 2 rage 1 heal,the other was 3 lightnings.
conclusions:
- 2 rage and 1 heal was horrible,worst of all 3.only got 2 stars
- 2 heal 1 rage the best 1 imo,got me 3 stars
- and finally 3 lightnings.it did get me 3 stars,but i figured its only good against th7 and below cause th7 and below has 2/less AD to deal with
i tested these 3 in war,not in normal battles so it shouldve been more difficult than normal bases
There is no question that 3-lightning, mass drags (you can mix in CC loons as well, which I would 99% of the time), is the best against TH7. Whether or not mass drags is affordable or not is up to you, but 3-light is easier, less risky and cheaper. 2 heal, 1 rage can never be better.Quote:

Some person on this forum once said something along the lines of, "Press nose to screen [to deploy dragons] and smile at 3-star" in reference to 3-light, mass drag attack against TH7.
He's right...
You don't need to test. You'll 3-star 99.5% of the time using this method. One AD5 can't possibly down that much material.
Also, your comment that 3-light is only good against TH7 and below is a significant incorrect statement. You'll often use this strategy well into TH8 as well.
like i said earlier,its more opinionQuote:

and yes the air sweeper is easy to get around,unless u using loons then they aint doing much
At TH8, you need to consider many more variations.
3 light + 11 drags works well if the ADs are spread out, or at least 1 AD is well separated from the others.
If the ADs are all in the core, use 10 drags + max loons in CC with either 3 rage or 2 rage 1 heal. Line up the drags along the best approach, then rage the loons and drags into the core to take out the ADs. Be sure to cut the sides to make sure the drags funnel to the core.
Sometimes you need to mix it up a bit, but just knowing those will get you through most TH8 bases. Of course, the harder ones are going to need higher level drags.
