Why does this continue to come up?

Against max/near max TH8 bases, it isn't easy. If you disagree, please record some videos of your attacks and let's evaluate.

And it's hardly the best way. As a matter of fact, it isn't even close. Putting anything above hogs is extremely hard.

No, I can assure you that people who are quite good do/have done this attack and struggle against upper TH8s.

Record, say, your last 8 attacks (4 wars) and let's evaluate just how good they are in your hands.

we rarely see TH8s 3 started by mass dragons unless they have a poor base design or don't have maxed ADs. Once a Th8 has 3 ADs 6/6/6/ and a sweeper L3 or 4 mass dragon even with your combo does not have a high success rate.

I will say that a good base design is hard for drags even with eq/lightning. If your consistently 3 starring every th8 base with drags then something is wrong. I will say that i consider myself great with dragon attacks and wont attempt using dragons anymore on better base designs since the odds are not in your favor. If your going up against a base that has a sweeper pointed in a bad spot then im sure it is easy, but most bases i run into have adjusted their sweeper to actually be effective.
