Simplest/easiest TH10 War Attack for 2 Stars

I'm looking for some advice to pass along to a fellow clanmate who is having trouble with war attacks. For context, we are a fairly competitive war clan comprised of about 50% TH9s, 40% TH8s, 5% TH7s, and 5% (2-3) TH10s.

One of our TH10s is a 60 year-old guy (let's call him "Bob") that plays CoC on a smartphone screen, has somewhat poor eyesight, and has a low ability to learn advanced attack strats. Bob is extremely enthusiastic when it comes to war, great for morale, donates a ton of troops, and just a really nice guy who thoroughly enjoys being part of the clan, particularly the comradarie of warring together.

The problem we have is that Bob has a very tough time executing any remotely challenging attack strategy, even a relatively simple attack like GoWiPe. We're structured such that we only really need him to 1-2 star a TH10 and 2star one of their top TH9s, but even this is difficult to accomplish. His main struggles are 1) keeping track of a large number of different troop (loses track of them on a small screen) , 2) remembering the appropriate timing & order for troop deployment, 3) switching back and forth across different units on the troop bar, and 4) spell timing & placement.

Does anyone have any suggestions I can use to coach Bob into consistently attaining 2stars on TH9s and 1-2 stars on TH10s?

I'm looking mainly for a low number of district troop types and spells, straightforward deployment with a low level of variability, and infrequent need for improvised attack decisions. In the past, Bob has preferred mass drags because all units can be deployed early in the attack and there is only one troop type, but obviously this attack strat is not really viable above TH8.

Thanks for any advice in advance!

Actually GoWiPe is the easiest 2 starring method at town hall 10. Just make him watch some youtube videos about it.
make him practice and share his attacks with you guys so you can give him some advice on what he did wrong or what he should do.
its a pretty simple attack. Deploy your golems try spreading the golems out. Then use wallbreakers. Destroy the wall at the front of the golem. Then deploy the wizards. Deploy them in a straight line at the back of the golem. Then put your pekkas and heroes at the middle. plus the spells differ on the base. its harder to teach someone with explaining make him watch a video about it. Its gonna be fun!

Thanks For the comment KazieL.

We've already tried to get Bob proficient with GoWiPe and he's had success at times, but never consistently. Despite explaining the attack mechanics mentioned in this previous post countless times, he still gets the troop deployment order and location wrong. This often means deploying pekka before the wiz funnel is created or deploying pekka in the wrong spot (not in the center of the funnel behind tye golems/wiz), or sometimes the golems will be all in the same spot or conversely spaced so far apart that they nearly cover the entire base.

Before you say to simply review the correct deployment technique with him until he gets it right, I kid you not when I say we've tried this for months at a time and the end result is still an improperly deployed, messy GoWiPe with poorly placed spells that does not yield the consistent 2stars we need.

Is is there anything you guys have seen a kin to mass drags for TH9? I agree that GoWiPe is the simplest viable TH9 strat, which is why I've come here for help, but we need something that's more along the lines of mass drags. In other words, an attack that doesn't require deployment of 4+ troop types in a very specific order and doesn't contain multiple stages of the attack.

I'm at a loss, but I really want to find a way to get this guy involved in war because he's an older guy and being part of the war crew means a lot to him so I want to do whatever I can to include him.

I guess if he cannot improve more, it's up to you and the rest of top players to step up by Producing 3s attacks to cope up his inability and incosistency. Right now he's more of A liability than an asset. So since you cannot boot him or exclude them at war. Always have A back up clean up guy. Although his two fail attacks will be a loss every war.or you can set a number which he can effortless 3s even he messes up. Suggest that he should upgrade his drags to max or even lvl4. Drags may wonder but with overpower could wipe a base. No extra timing required. Assigned a lower th level attack. Have a scheduled attacker for every number. In that way his attacks are not put to waste.

Maybe he would be a better scout, than an attacker? Information about Traps and the enemies clan castle troops could help others to get more stars.

12 Lvl 5 drags with 5 spells and a hound or some loons in CC should destroy any mid lvl Th9 (AD 6/6/6/6). Even with 7/7/7/7 he should be able to at least 2 star.

I'm not a fan of drags, but it seems to be the only option other than mass witches, which are highly base dependant.

Throw in some more hounds and he should be able to take weak TH10 with mulit-infernos for 1-2 stars.

Teach him maxed out Dragloon its the next easiest 2 star but could not yield a 3 star. Level 5 drags and some max loons would do the trick. ive even seen people using it for pushing in titans league i guess that's the best troop advise i could give, though practice makes for improvement! Just make him practice some 4 troop combo from time to time he'l get it just let him be confident using em. You can also teach him the farming method GiBarch its the most basic troop combo it requires giants, barbarians, archers and some wallbreakers. its for farming and it trains quickly. It can be a good way to practice troop deployment using 4 types of troops. It also has the ability to go through cores he can practice his spell timing and funnelling so as his skill at using wallbreakers to destroy walls to make his troops go inside plus! He will have the motivation to get better because of he fails he wont have any loot hehe good luck.

if its a box type base - which are pretty common i guess. i'd go for mass witches:

2 golems
12 witches
6 wiz
wall breakers
2 freeze
2 rage
1 jump

the exact troops can be give or take. golems in, wall breakers, wiz & witch & heroes - rage when engaging CC, jump into core, rage in core & freeze on multi infernos as needed.

try searching 'hocus pocus' on google for a fully description

hope that helps!

Thanks everyone for the thoughtful responses.

Bob's already got lvl5 drags and he prefers drags over any other troop, so I would definitely consider a strategy that relies heavily on drags as the primary unit. With his poor eyesight and the fact that he's playing on a small screen, drags have the natural advantage of being highly visible (flying above buildings) and containing a small number of total units (12 camp units in mass drags vs 40+ camp units in gowiwi/wipe).

If we go with the drag approach, are there any other major differences in the technique of a TH9-10 version compared to the standard TH8 version of mass drags/dragloon?

I and many of my clanmates are proficient in 106/909/813 dragloon strats, including the lightning & rage/heal varieties, but with the extra defenses at higher town halls, I'm not quite familiar with any modifications to the attack that may be necessary to applying the attack post-TH8. Any thoughts on this?

I'll also float the idea of hocus pocus. I've seen a few YT vids on this so I'll watch a couple and see if this looks simple enough to teach him.

One last note...obviously having him sit out of wars is an option and that's actually what's going no right now, but since he's an older guy that truly gets a lot of enjoyment and brotherly comradarie out of being 'part of the gang' by taking part in clan wars with a bunch of us guys half his age, we want to find a way to include him. Participating makes him feel young again because he feels like he's part of a team, and enabling that experience is worth leaving a couple war stars on the table from our perspective.

We recently kicked a TH10 from our clan because he wasn't a team player during war, but he was very consistent 2-star against mid-max TH10s with 4 golems, 30 wizards and a CC of random ♥♥♥♥ (don't get me started). He pushed with this army, so he always had it at the ready and used same army for war without every varying.
He would just drop 2 jumps at start to path to TH, 4 golems backed by all 30 wiz spread out a bit, then both heroes. He usually took poison and a lightning and used both upon CC engagement. Couple of rages to get to core and on the core and that is it. No pekkas to funnel, 2 spells done with before raid even started.... pretty simple. Heroes were high teens so nothing special.
Not the best attack, but he 2-starred virtually every time with only 2 troop types and half spells deployed without in-raid pressure.

I saw one video with a very poor max dragon attack and haste spells VS a TH10 that just missed getting the 2 star. With just placing cutters to and keeping the dragons under haste, should be a solid choice.

Ill see if I can find the video.

P.S. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTsw0cS9Q8M

This is not the one I was thinking of but this will give you the idea.

We have some attackers that can't properly deploy a GoWiPe or anything of the like but they resort to dragons and typically do well to two star some lower-level TH10s. Basically they use 3 zaps to kill one AD and go into the base with a CC Hound followed by their 12 dragons. They use a rage spell on the Queen and another rage over the TH while bringing a poison for the CC.

This can be a little tricky if the opponent has single infernos but is a great strategy for multi infernos. If they do have single it's usually better to bring some loons in the CC and/or a Freeze in place of one of the rage spells.

I really like this suggestion and think it may be a good option for our particular situation. Do you have any replays available to share?

4 Earthquake spells is working wonders right now for guaranteed brain dead 2 stars. Blasts open all walls to th, use a 2+1 Golem GoWiWi (easiest - use 5 witch), GoWiPe (3 Pekkas) or GoWiWiPe (2 Witch 2 Pek). Carry only 2-4 wbs to open outer most wall. I use 1 heal 1 rage and 1 poison (prob need 2 freeze for th10).

But yah. If that's still too much then spam max drags with freeze and haste and cross fingers

Kind of curious how he's got to th10 with so much difficulty attacking

Going to make a video today of a consistent 2 star strategy using earthquake spells. Will post on forum once uploaded.

You may want to try the earthquake spell to open the base and then go with the Golem, Giant, Witch and Wizards. Though the town hall is rushed still the mirror but still 3 star by Th9 would not have been possible if the base was not opened up with the spell.

Have him try 7 golems, 3 jump spells, 2 rage and rest wizards. Not a lot of switching. Spread out golems drop jump, and drop wiz (and create funnel with wiz) and heros. Rage them as they funnel, rage them.

Heres another look at the EQ spell on a higher level th10

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lp0pzKRmMaM

Th10 Strategies

SuperDragoon(Modified for Ease-Maybe even stronger, but more costly)

Army Comp: 12 Drags, CC: Loons
Spells: 3 lightning, 2 rage, 1 haste

Order:
Lightning AD
Drop CC + Haste (near other AD)
2 Drags on Left, 2 Drags on Right, Other Drags Plus Heroes in Center
Put Two Rage Leading to TownHall

I use this with Lvl 4 Drags. Needing a little experience, I can easily two star. At beginning, you definitely get the fifty percent(because u automatically knock out one AD with Lightning)

OR

Mass Golems(Idk what its called really)
Army Comp: 6 Golems, Fifteen Wiz, CC:Golem
Spells: Four Jump, One Rage

Order:
2 Golems on Right Put Jump Spell,
2 Golems on Left Put Jump Spell,
Three Golems Plus Heroes In Middle Put Jump Spell

Fifteen Wiz Spread Out Behind All

Fourth Jump Spell In Middle to Get into Core

Only Rage Near TownHall

Th9 Strategies:

There is Goho, but rather complicated, I mess up too :/

So Then There is Surgical Hog.

Army Comp(Modified for Ease): 43 Hogs, 25 Archers,CC:Hogs
Spells:5 Heal

Put down Three Hogs To Lure CC
Use 2-3 Archers to bring CC to side.
Circle with Archers, Then put down AQ(activate ability immediately to make it more straightforward)

Put Hogs Down In Groups of Five On Two Sides of Base(Top Left and Top Right For Example-Try To attack from side of Queen)

Then also Put CC

Predetermine Spots of Heal(4 in each corner area and one in core perhaps-Have him place heal when area is occupied by hogs.A simple order would be 2-1-2, two heals at same time on two corners, then one on core, then two on other corners)

Put BK When Hogs Have Done the Job(I would suggest when Hogs have halfway cleared the base, but perhaps have him put BK last when all spells were deployed so its simple)

What clan are you in? I see you havent been active on the forums lately, I truly hope you see this. The replies everyone has given are fantastic.

i know this is dated but easiest way to get a star (almost guarantee getting 1 star, 2 stars prob won't happen) is max loons with rage spells approaching ADs and wiz towers, hitting from two perpendicular sides at the same time.. Then send in his higher lvl heroes behind 1 golem to get that 50%.. Almost ♥♥♥♥♥ing really..

For that drag attack, get him to try 4 lightning, 2 eq( one in cc) and a rage spell. 1 eq and 2 lightning for two of the air defenses, deploy drags on the other side where the other 2 air d are, use a cc hound to take the heat on approach, rage drags as soon as they enter air defense zone.

edit: swap 1 drag for 4 loons, send those loons at the air d that isn't being taken care of by hound, but behind dragons so they live to kill that air defense.

For 2 stars the easiest strategy for me is to use mass golem, 6 tanks should be easy to 2 stars any TH 10 base like this one :
