hey guys can you help me 3 star this th8

Yo guys I'm a max troops the 8 but not sure what strategy to use to 3 star this please help http://i.imgur.com/hajsOfw.jpg

GoHo

Use a Golem + King combo on bottom with wizards and maybe 2-3 hogs.

Deploy hogs ontop to converge in the middle of the base. Drop heals in heavy splash damage/ tesla ridden areas with giant bomb compartments.

Zapquake heal draho.. Heal+9 hogs for the southern AD, zapquake the right AD, mass dragon the remaining AD.

Note: CC must lock onto dragons before launching hogs. Use king to tank in front of hogs.

Super easy hog. 8 wiz, 3 Archie's, rest hogs...3 heals...2 poison for cc troops...hogs in your cc. Lure and kill cc, king on king, 3 hogs on bottom cannon, hogs split evenly at bottom on both sides in front of lower archer towers and cannons. Heal as needed on the ascent. Dot wiz in for quicker cleanup. Be a massacre...good luck!

How are wizards good clean up troops here? What good are they if the hogs fail?

You should *never* be taking wizards for clean up any more. Ever. Want to know why? They're painfully slow and get stuck behind walls, and the buildings that don't get killed by hogs get double damaged by the much faster goblins. Wizards are your third best clean up troop now, behind goblins and the troops you should just bring more of, so there is zero reason to bring them in TH8 mass hogs unless you like being stuck in an old mindset and what should theoretically be enough hogs most of the time.

I'm still taking wizards and archers, although fewer thanks to double poison.
Once you hit lvl 4 hogs, any base is surgically hogged for me and my.clan mates, 3 hogs per outside defense and then heal where needed, 3 star guaranteed. Come check my clan out, you look like you have great analogies in various posts I've read..Respond back :)

What if there is a loon in cc, it will kill your hogs that are trying to take out that southern AD...i suggest dragloon zapquake, rage and haste...zap one of the top ADs, rage dragons to the other, haste loons down below.

Or simply hog it surgically

Hogs kill fast, loons take forever to get there and another couple seconds to lock onto the target and actually drop it. 9 hogs will take it out before the loon ever gets a shot off.

As for wizards and archers.. why? If you insist on bringing something else, other than an archer for a corner hut, why would you choose something other than goblins?

I know the reason, it's the same as the conventional wisdom that says Valkyries are terrible and to not level them.

Lol! I wouldn't take anything other than hogs and a couple anchor archers. However, the guy is a novice or wouldn't be asking about the base. Wiz will help in case of a cc kill fail or similar catastrophe. Wiz were never good for anything but kill squads and funneling in war. Carry on... ;)
