HELP with GoWiPe TH8 3 stars?
I've been having trouble recently GoWiPe'n in war. I cannot get a 3 star on a TH8. not sure where i am going wrong. can I get some advice from GoWiPe specialists please?
what I bring
2 Level2 Golems
1 Level3 Pekkas
2 Level2 Hogs to lure cc troops
5 level5 WBs
rest wizzies and a couple archers to top it off
CC Troop level 3 pekka or higher
2 Level5 Heal spells 1 rage (max) 1poison
I think my biggest problem is when i know theres a lvl 4 or higher dragon in the cc.. i get scared and not sure how i can successfully kill it. usually i lure it to a corner then send in my golem so it chases after my golem and then murder it from behind with the archers and wizzies. i think that's my problem then my golem dies too quick?
Looking forward to your advice and your gowipe attack strategy!

gosh only 2 stars for second attack
so i hit a base which looked too easy but i am thinking i hit it from the wrong end/... the base looked long so i went bottom up and it couldn't clear enough.. what went wrong? how do i know if the base isn't good for GoWiPe??
thank you!

Both are 2 star strategies....again unless it's vs the right base.
GoWiPe not a 3 star strat!
Wow i guess someone needs to tell my my troops that, and take away a couple hundred of my war stars that I earned on my way through TH9, lol. Maxed out TH9 and on my way to TH10 as we speak, now I did not use only GoWiPe of course, but I will use it if that is what will work, and it will work. Not to mention GoWiXx will be the base for all these other so called 3 star attacks, might as well learn at an early point to use Gosomething.
replace some wizzies with hogs?
Hi Tyl3t!
thanks for your response again..so i should replace some wiz with hogs? i am in th8 and most of my mirrors are th8..i am almost maxed so most of my opponents same... so the hogs is better to replace some wizz then?
right now i am suffering sometimes i get three stars sometimes i get 2... arghhh.. i need my usual 6 stars for war >___< good news is my hogs finally going to lvl 4..

However this will no work well against max bases as GoWipe is poor when you get to th9. Learn better strategies now for when you upgrade town hall.
ok. which attacks do you prefer?
Luna,
Thank You. What do you suggest and what attacks do you like for TH8 any level?
Thank You again for taking your time to comment :)

But, by the same token, no way do I just blindly think of GoWiPe either. The base has to really call for it. But I'm looking hog first and foremost at max TH8 levels, for it really takes a DGB to stop most hog attacks and even then variants (like GoHo) can deal with DGB locations.
Most of the work on a dragon attack goes into the planning. Once you deploy, you're almost on cruise controls. In other words, it's often an easier attack as well. This helps younger TH8 players execute (hopefully) solid attacks.
And, once again, dragons probably appear more viable because people likely see far, FAR more 3-stars with dragon attacks than GoWiPes over the course of their TH8 career. Granted, the introduction of the leaf blower does change things, but low to mid TH8, it's still just too easy in many, if not most, wars to get 3 from a drag attack
Emphasis on max bases...
Yes, barring a dragon snipe attack (or similar), I don't even consider drags against a max/near max TH8. But a GoWiPe will often struggle, big time, against a great many (most?) max TH8 bases as well. A true GoWiPe often requires a specific base to execute elegantly, otherwise it loses serious steam once it powers to/through the core. There's a reason why serious clans like, say, OneHive, frowns on them (unless the base screams for it)
Right Attacks for the right base
Unlike townhall 7 which mostly revolve around dragons and lightning spells against other townhall 7s, townhall 8 has plenty of varieties of attacks to choose from like Hogs, Dragon and Dragoon Varieties, GoWi attacks like GoWiPe varieties or GoWiVa...Pretty much the right tool for the right job...you just have to make a good call in knowing which attack to use...
Yes, but i wanted to perfect my gowipe... re: the title of the thread.
I understand that Mysterious, and thank you for responding.
i would like to perfect my gowipe if possible. i know there are many attacks which i am exploring. however at this point i have maxed my gowipe troops and waiting for my lvl 4 hogs. therefore i am practicing gowipe and would like to hear from ppl in the forum on their take - if they use gowipe and see how i can tailor my gowipe attack and attempt three stars more often.
again, yeah i have slight confusion on knowing the base which would be gowipe or goho and such. again i am waiting for my hogs to lvl up. i have done a few GoVaPe,GoWiVa etc.
i just like to get my attacks down...
thank you for your response :)

if you feel you need more hogs remove some wiz. 👍
Well another 2 stars only
i have no idea why, but yet another two stars in war... and every time it's that nasty dragon in the cc..i have everything down but killing that dragon.. that dragon really screws me up...
HELP :facepalm:
OR is there another attack other than hogs or gowipe? it's that dragon every time... plus i have to deal with maxed th8 defenses gawd..
