Need Strategy for TH8 War Base

Not sure what the easiest attack would be for this base- I'd be happy with 2 stars because its above my level. I am not thinking dragons, unless someone has a very good strategy. First thought was GoWi-based attack, but I'm doubting my troops can get into all those compartments, given they are lvl 8 walls.
So maybe GoHo, dropping the Golem at the 7'oclock AT, using it to lure the cc, then sending hogs in at 5:00 and 10:00?

Level 2 golem, level 4 hogs, level 2 pekka, level 1 valks

At first, Dragon Snipe looks good and it's probably your easiest attack.

I also thought that this base was very hoggable, but then I saw all the spring trap locations. I still believe it can be hogged, but you'll likely hit a lot of traps.

But the inclusion of all those spring traps also means that there isn't the number of compartments you think there is. He really only has 4 showing (a tesla pop means you might have a few more, but that isn't a deal killer)

I think you have a really good shot with a simple GoWiPe to really put a hurting on this base. Will you clear it? Not sure, but you've got a heck of a shot at making a mess of things. The pekkas don't have a lot of ♥♥♥♥ in their way. Hell, a golem will walk right into the corridor, and, if you funnel well (which looks fairly easy), so will the pekkas. And they will head straight to the TH and the entire base for that matter

I three starred a similiar base a couple wars ago. Gowipe or gowiva should work. Time your first rage spell with your wall breakers, and they will get a super charge and rip the first two compartments. Its not the same base but I hope this helps.https://youtu.be/NV2d06JUgYk

Very helpful actually. I had reservations about using hogs, but the walls scared me. I have been using GoVaPe a lot and I quite like it. Best cc troop- max pekka or witches?
Regarding dragon snipe- do you mean balloons to take out the bottom two AD's, and dragons for the top one? Or lightning for one? I can never get dragons through a base like this without rage/heal. Uh, well I've never 3-starred a base like this with dragons, period, lol.

No, I'd use hogs if I was going that route.

Not sure why the walls would scare you about using hogs. Mistype?

Best CC troop is your preference. I love witches in some situations, pekka in others.

No I mean I didn't want to use hogs straight off, but I didn't think my troops could get through all the walls.
So a GoWi-something is my best bet? You'd use hogs with what route?

If you're looking to just get 2 stars, I'd almost certainly do something like GoWiPe. A 2-star seems like almost a guarantee. I think, if you execute it well, you'll come close to 3-star. This base just doesn't have many compartments and the golems and pekkas will just move freely through most of the base

Hog that sucker my friend, so easy once you get pasted the first line

I don't necessarily disagree with using hogs either. Not sure about, "easy" but I do agree it's a solid option.

Check the radius of the defenses. My initial reaction was to NOT use a GoHo, but, per a little closer examination, I feel that a Golem that gets to walk right in the base and distract, potentially, a bunch of defenses, might be well worth it.

Unless I'm missing something, a single golem distracts at least 5 and potentially more at the 8:00 AT and it doesn't appear you have to use any WBs either.

If you go GoHo, I'd bring 2 Witches and Barb in CC.

Watch out for spring traps, as GoHo isn't nearly as loaded with hogs as a straight hog run is (which could be a better option--need to map it out carefully to estimate which one is better)

To have more troops available for the attack, you could kill that cc without lure if you know what you're doing, but its risky. But I would go with some form of gowipe, gowiva, or goho.

Yes- I was looking at the interior compartments when I thought hogs, hoping that they would be able to clear the brunt of the defenses before jumping on traps. The reason I thought Golem with WB's is to use the Golem as my cc trigger at that 7:00 AT, then have him lead the kill team in towards the TH. Now, my kill team always gets killed taking out the cc, so the golem probably won't last long and the hogs may not have much cover. When one of my hog runs goes wrong, it REALLY goes wrong, lol.
