Giant+Healer guide?

Hey guys,

I'd really like a comprehensive and in-depth guide on the giant healer attacking strategy. I'm using this to farm DE at th8 and quite suck at it :/

If anyone could drop a link to a thread(not the one on the main page) or even explain it themselves that's be really great.
Thanks in advance :)

If its against th7s then just do the same as you did against th7s when you were a th7 using gibarch but stronger.

8-12 giants
2healers
6-10 wallbreakers
Personal preferences on archers and barbs for rest
Add a minion or two for those storage snipes with dead defenses.

Use all Heal (After your Healers die or during heavy fire from 4+ defenses at a time)
---

th8 vs th8 would probably be around the same thing
BUT

-you pretty much need th6+ giants in clan castle to really get into those mid-max th8s.
-At least 1 rage is a must to quickly take down the villages DPS on your giants. (It'll beat out the would be Heal spell)
-lv 4 wallbreakers work fine for mid th8s and lower, but skull walls laugh at lv 4 wallbreakers (they need 3)
-King is mandatory in raid to get a good chunk of the NUMEROUS storages now present.

Hey thanks for replying, Yharo
I sort of use the same army composition while farming, but what I mess up on is the deployment. In most of the bases the AD's are behind a second layer of wall ; they take out my healers quickly and the giants just end up beating a wall and my barch army getting picked on by every other defense in the base.
How do you work with the deployment?
And what does. "-At least 1 rage is a must to quickly take down the villages DPS on your giants. (It'll beat out the would be Heal spell" mean?

If AD is deeper inside base, use heal to sustain giants and spawn healers when safer. Spell choice is always a gamble. Rage does help and I prefer to rage both giant and wb at the first wall by dropping wb in pairs, you csn often get two/three layers inside.

I don’t wait on spells usually.

If they're deep in the layer then attack in the angle where the Giants are FURTHEST away from ADs

Use the Healers as psuedo heal spells for the 1st half of the base until you start losing healers to ADs.
The Rage spells in this case will probably be used to rage the giants to punch through some defenses/walls (you can time wallbreakers with this for extra boom).
Also the rage spell will then hit your healers, who are following giants, so they can super heal your giants for the more dangerous defense filled core under effects of rage.

Then use your Heal spells to take over the healers job in 2nd half of the base while ur BK, archers and barbs take care of the base and storages while ur giants are ahead tanking/disabling unprotected defenses.

---
The reason you use a rage is because the rage helps giants LOWER the village's damage per second against your giants by helping them destroy defenses rather than a heal spell having a healing per second effect on your giants.

THe DPS of a village with fresh defenses targeting your giants all at once will probably outperform the healing effects of a heal spell so a rage works better (plus rage helps heal your giants if you let the healers get effected by it from behind too)
