Double zapquake + mass dragons (th9, th10, and th11)

As many of you know by now, the new update will allow th8+ to have a dark spell in their clan castle, bringing the spell capacity up to 8, 10, and 12 respectively.

Army composition:

12 dragons (th9, one in clan castle)
13 dragons (th10, one in clan castle)
4 lightnings
2 earthquakes (one in clan castle)
(th10 and th11) 1 Rage

Drop one earthquake and two lightning on 2 out of 4 air defenses, preferably both on the same side. Drop 2 dragons to clear out miscellaneous outer buildings, creating a funnel. Drop the rest of your dragons once the funneling is complete. (th10, th11) Drop your rage spell once your dragons reaches the core

Despite all this, it'll still remain 2-star strategy, even with double heroes.

TH10 has way too many structures + defenses for dragons to clear, not to mention seeking air mines and CC troops. Do 10 attacks with this strategy and get back to us. Oh, and do the attacks on maxed bases, not undeveloped ones.

That's gonna take me a while to do since my dragons are still level 3 and my golems are done upgrading in 7 days

It would be the downfall of this game if dragon attacks because 3 star strategies across all town hall levels. Right now, it's a 3 star strategy for the low levels, which keeps new players interested and happy. But since it is a completely skill-less attack, it would ruin things if you could just spam dragons at the th9/10/11 level.

Dragons have a hard time going through mid to upper TH8 bases already, besides being eaten up by remaining ADs. I wouldn't see mass drags as being usable at well-developed TH9s, TH10s, and TH11s, even with the new additional Dark Spell in CC. Rage + Heal is also out of the question at those TH levels since 4 ADs will rip apart drags.

Also, this game, like hummer2023 said, would devolve to just watching players place down their drags and be done with it. Not good.

I've got a clanmate right now who is having good success with single ZapQuake attacks. He's using 2L, 1EQ, 2R, 1 Hound, 2 or 6 loons, and the rest dragons. He can 3 star some lower TH9s (not rushed) and he's getting 80% or so on maxed bases. It's still a work in progress, but it's definitely something to look into.

Dragons actually aren't skilless, you still need to find the best place to set up your funnel, actually make the funnel, and use your CC loons or whatever correctly. I do agree that it doesn't take the time and skill of a GoHo or GoLaLoon, but you can't drop 10 dragons at TH8 and get a 3 star without planning out your funnel and stuff.

I think double zap quake lavaloon will become more OP than mass dragons.

I'd say the idea has merit. I would imagine a few well placed loons would go a long way though, especially if they have their storages well placed to tank for the remaining ADs. Ad others have said, their dps might just not be enough to clear the bases at higher levels.

cant wait for 15 dragons at th 11, and the double dragons defense

The other problem is once in the core dragons fall very quickly, you either need to back them up with some balloons while they tank the damaged. so a dragloon is the updated version of a mass dragon if you ask me.

Mass dragons on a th 9 is easy.

Wonder why this 2 year old thread was necroed... but for what it's worth, mass drags with double zap quake still remains a 2 star strategy, unless on poorly designed th9
