Hello, I am a mid level TH8 and have recently joined a clan that wars a lot. I have completed all my elixir based upgrades, have a level 10 BK, and only have dark elixir upgrades left to do. In war I use GoWiPe the most along with mass drags but I would like to know which would be better to upgrade first. Hogs level 2 or golems to level 2? Thanks in advance
golem 2 - it actually gets a useful boost at lvl 2.
hogs are pretty useless before L3 but become very powerful at L4 v other TH8s.
I'd do golem 2 then do hogs 2, 3, 4 back to back
Whichever you are planning on using more. Personally I would go hogsQuote:

Either start working for them to get to 4 or do golems
Since you already use the GoWiPe strategy, I would upgrade your golems first to give your attacks a boost.
In my opinion, hog-based attacks at TH8 vs other TH8s are better than GoWiPe, but you will want your hogs at L4.
GoWiPe is typically a 2* attack whereas hogs at Th8 is typically a 3*. I'd work on upgrading the hogs to level 4 asap then learn how to use them effectively.Quote:

To hog or not to hog? That is the question.
Do Hog Riders, get them to level 4. But, if you don't get that much Dark Elixir just do Golems, you can GowiPe Town Hall level 8s in war and 3 star easily, it just takes skill to 3 star and proper placement.
In the long run you are going to have to do both if you plan on warring well at TH9. So I would choose the one that will provides shorter term first.
Golems only take 10 days to max for TH8 and hogs takes 30 days.
The difference is whether you want to have a viable hog attack 30 days earlier and have a less stable GoWiPe for 40 days.
Or
Have a more stable GoWiPe in ten days time that will see you through the 30 days that your hogs are upgrading.
Eventually, you are going to need to upgrade both and become proficient with both attack strategies. But, in the short term it is best to upgrade the troops you are using the most. You are more likely to be successful using a strategy you are comfortable with.
