TH8 Mass Hogs - How to deal with bases with multiple potential Giant Bomb spots?

Depends on base. Ofc, surgical and goho works, but it's base dependent.

If you can reach the DGB, always use Goho. If you can't, I'd use surgical and really watch for any GB's that trigger.

Also: surgical doesn't work too well if even one or two (non tesla) point is not on outside. Well, it's still doable but it's a bit more dangerous. Works best if all (non tesla) point is either first defense it targets or if it targets it directly after.

I like going surgical for simplicity reasons, but if it's a tough base, nothing a goho can't do.

Fast surgical on any enemy base style including dgb's are not a threat in my clan...we are a pro clan and all our th 8 are required to learn surgical..32 hogs, 8 wizz, 8 archers.... Drop 3 hogs each on enemy's outside defenses and heal hogs when needed...learning surgical is one thing, but knowing where to place heal is another thing, and both need to be practiced. In surgical the dgb will only affect a small number of hogs..
Like i said before there is no th 8 base design with dgb that my clan's surgical cant handle

Why do you bring so many non-hogs?

My clan leader can 3 star any base with surgical hogs... EQ goho, queen walk goho, standard goho. If u are skilled enough u can take ANY base with hogs.

It is just matter of time, when will they add something that will stop that OP strategy.

Scouting attacks is one way sure. Our clan just came up against a clan full of these though, so cant scout them all.

Dont want to waste heals on spots without a bomb obviously. Where possible I would trigger them with a few hogs, but when theres multiple spots, this isnt feasible...

So yeah, what do you guys do? or what do you advise?

If you are learning the pathing of hogs, then an excellent strategy to employ is the surgical hog. Drop a few on each defense clockwise or counter clockwise and see how they are going to path. If some of them blow then you minimize your damages by having them spread out. Having the max hogs in the CC is also a great help.

My th8 base has 5 possible double giant bomb locations.

1 location is the real double giant, 2nd, 3rd and 4th pocket are teslas, 5th pocket is giant bomb with 5 little bombs.

They all surround my core. Spring traps placed in between all defenses to spring out hogs.

Bases like mine not very good for hogging or air but it is an ideal candidate for gowipe with 6 large pockets surrounding core and just 2 layers of walls to punch through and boom, you reached the core.

Not all bases are made the same, I guess the point is there are bad bases to hog out there sometimes and its best to just skip over it unless you wanna drive yourself nuts, unless youre the type of guy that loves to spend time solving crossword puzzles..ill pass.

Because you dont really need to bring more hogs because you will still get the same result if u bring more...32 hogs plus 5 max hogs in cc is sufficient enough to drive a th 8 base to the ground..
The remaining wiz and archers are for killing cc and outside clean up.
Fast surgical deployment is the key.. 3 hogs per outside defenses either clockwise or counterclockwise then heal as needed as they reach the core

Hey show a screenshot of your base... My base has 3 dgb spots and is anti drag. It has 11 compartments which is key to stop gowipe attacks, the more compartments the better... I try to make my base anti-3 against those attacks as much as possible
