Hi everyone! I am looking for some advice. I need help with this base, how to attack it with dragons?
So I have dragons level 2 and Rage spell level 3. If anyone knows 3 star strategy for this base please reply to this post.
Thanks!
There are lots of three star strategies for this base, none if which involve th7 level troops. Why people think they're entitled to being able to three starb 8s with th7 troops is beyond me.
I wouldn't go that far, my friend.Quote:

Here, you can try and lightning the AD at ~11:00 and funnel drags into the AD4 and AD5 (perhaps bring CC loons). Or, perhaps, you can just bring 11 drags and some combination of rage/heal and just try and muscle through.
This base has been seen manyyyy times. You cannot (please prove me wrong) drag this base with level 2 drags. Just wont happen...
The poster above me pointed out your best options though. Goodluck.
Yeah they can do bad ones.. best way to hit this one but I think we'll executed he ca. Maybe expect 70%. There aren't enough obvious vulnerabilities to 3 star this one with 5 5 5 adsQuote:

I believe he/she has at least a fighting chance.
While it looks like a good candidate for L2 dragons...it isn't. I'll wager you also have TH7 level hogs, also...so that's not going to be any help...
One of the first things a TH8 should do immediately...is upgrade the laboratory, then upgrade the dragons to L3, then upgrade your lightning to L5, then upgrade your balloons to L5. Build the dark spell factory, and upgrade it to L2 to get Earthquake. Pretty much in that order. Then run your drags while getting your hogs up to L4.
That will help make bases like what is pictured in the OP a piece of cake. TH7 level dragons, 'loons, and lightning MAY (with excellent execution, and no mistakes) get 3 stars on it, but realistically...you are likely to have to settle for 2.
Edit: You can try going 10 dragons, CC==5 max balloons, 3xlightning. Use all 3 lightnings on the AD to the north of the TH, funnel your dragons in broadside to the other 2 AD's. Release the balloons when one/both AD's begin firing on the dragons.
Alternatively, you can come with 8 dragons, 8 'loons, and 5 max 'loons in the CC. Same entry strategy. You can even use a balloon as a lure for the CC dragon with this one.
Either should get you far enough into the core for a 2 star.
What you really need for this base:
8 L3 dragons, 8 L5 balloons, 2 L5 lightnings, 1 earthquake, 1 rage; CC = 5 L6 balloons. 2xlightning, then earthquake, on the AD north of the TH. Lure the CC dragon with a balloon; then funnel your dragons into the base core and cc dragon, broadside to the AD's. When AD's lock on to the dragons, release the balloons and cc balloons. Rage the balloons into the core. The rest is clean-up at this point.
Just my humble $0.02...
Why is that?Quote:

Because the L2 dragons don't have enough tanking power to get past those storages before the AD's, seeking mines, and teslas take down the dragons.Quote:

Same base 3-starred by TH7 2 days ago.Quote:

Really not impossible. Bring max loons. What you're facing is simply a well(ish) designed TH7 with an extra AD. Rage heal from the left.
Different, check storage locations. Not saying its impossible, but imo his chances are less than 25%...Quote:

Granted, the setup isn't the same, but L2 drags are, in my mind, often simply underrated. 2,100 HP is still 2,100 HP & often are just fine for tanking into AD54 (if 3-light is used, otherwise he has 3 spells, but 3 ADs) & weak point defenses as shown here. I bet the teslas are very weak as well.
No guarantee at all, of course, and I'm not saying it will be easy. I just disagree that TH7s can't 3* a whole host of TH8 war bases, including this one. L2 drags can do some serious work. Stated another way, I disagree with the sentiment that it's, "L3 drags or nothing!" for drag attacks at TH8.
Switching gold and elixir storages makes it different base?Quote:
