Yeah, not much can be done. But that is good. A decent TH 9 should be able to beat any TH 8. Far as I am concerned, a TH 8 crushed by a TH 9 should happen, and it is a somewhat moral victory if the TH 8 kills off most of the troops and or forces the TH 9 to have to use spells to get by. I will hate to see defenses ever reach a point that it becomes a struggle and incredibly difficult for a higher TH to beat a lower TH level. This whole defense mentality of being able to build a base that wins ALL the time, no thank you.
Let me ask you this OP, have you ever seen a TH7 base you couldn't smash up with gibarch as a TH8? I'm TH8 and i havn't. If i have my King there's no chance, the base is going down and all the loot. Without the King i get most or all of the loot most of the time. I'm assuming it's the same for TH9's picking on us. Having said that, sit at just below 2000 trophies, i've been here for weeks and not 1 full on attack. Everyone sniping to get those crystal league gems i'm assuming.
EDIT: i forgot about the CC. CC is the only thing in my experience that can stop a gibarch dead in its tracks, as i'm sure you know since you carry cc troops when you log off. If they forget to kill it they are in trouble, other then that.....
LOONS IN CC!!! thats ur only hope. literally. Unless im the th9 thats gibarching u then u have no hope XD
Search for Ashe Hypercube. I had an variation of it for TH8 but my net is slow and I will not build it again.
Take some wizards in your CC and make it unlurable. You will find that most TH9 attackers are over-confident and forget to draw CC
i'm a relatively new th8, around 2 months in. same thing happen to me too at the beginning. now i think the last time th9 gibarch hit me was around 3 weeks ago, mostly snipe now. what i did was to never hold more than 500k gold at a time when i'm breaking shield, and to leave a builder free to dump those gold into walls. now all my defenses are still max th7 levels but i got 90% skulls. even with my mediocre defenses, those skulls somehow intimidate them, plus with puny gold offering to them, they just nexting past me.
This !
Even a bad th10 attacker and you are safe!
usually I can break the de storage of any th8 without king and queen with just gibarch + one rage + one jump.
What is your league now?
honestly the best defense for you is pushing to crystal and higher leagues. then people more snipe you.
There is one way, to keep no loot when you log off. Just dump all your gold into walls, DE into heroes and lab, lix into anything else. A completely maxed TH8 cannot stop a new TH9 from wrecking you, but a TH8 with no loot will not lose loot to even the maxest TH10 attack.
Of course, most TH8 will think that leveling defenses would protect you, but getting wrecked is part of the game and no defense level is ever safe, until you're TH10 (because there's no TH11). So learn early that the best way to protect loot is not have any in the first place
Just get a base with more compartment and a deep cc
it is hard to defen against a good attacker plus heal spell it is almost hard to defense against it
I myself have beeen using this strategy since I have lv6 giant
