So, I know this wasn't your question, but I gotta say it anyway -- LEVEL YOUR TROOPS. You basically can not run any good TH8 attack strategy with the troops and levels you have.
If war is your concern, and since you are posting on the war forum about your attack, I have to assume it is, you have to do the right troops in the right order so you aren't a liability to your clan.
Having baby golems might seem cool, but especially when paired with those crappy level 1 pekka, they aren't really going to be a consistent three star strategy. Even maxed, gowipe does not consistently three star TH8 bases. And you wasted a TON of elix doing that which you should have been put toward upgrading drags and lightning spells.
Level 3 drags themselves, especially when paired with leveled up lightning and a low level earthquake to take out an air defense is a really good strategy and can be unlocked very quickly after you get to TH8. It will fail against many higher level bases, but when paired with high level lightning and EQ, is still a very strong attack that can take down maxed bases when the setup is favorable.
While you are doing the drags and the lightnings, save ALL of your dark elix for what you really want -- Level 4 hogs Nearly any TH8 can be crushed with well deployed hogs. You want those above all else.
All that mumbo jumbo you did, upgrading wall breakers, opening valks, that should have been left for later.
I don't know that I can offer much advise on your attack. I guess maybe gowipe, but I can't really say if it will work with those troops.
10 this, your war offense to war weight ratio is beyond awful. All you had to do was upgrade dragonsQuote:

To address the comments above, if war is your focus/concern, I agree that you need to upgrade different troops. Drags to L3 is a common recommendation to be made ASAP, one that I've made many times in the past as well.
Per further thought, however, if one really wants to be serious about war....
I believe that you do NOT necessarily have to upgrade dragons. If you want, go straight to L4 hogs and hog (GoHo, straight hog, whatever) substantially all TH8 war bases. Once hogs are done, you can upgrade golem/wiz/loon/WB/barb/archer (in no particular order), If you want, upgrade valks, but that's dealer's choice (e.g. many people love valks at TH8 and TH9. I don't use them to a significant degree, but many people have/do and have a lot of success and you have to respect that--they are an awfully strong troop in the right situation).
But Pekka? Dragon? One thought might be just to leave them alone and keep your overall war weight down. Dragons, while nice to contribute to CCs in war, quickly play a much lesser role beginning even at mid TH8, to say nothing about max TH8/TH9.
And baby golems are fine for GoHo runs at TH8, even max TH8.
I admit I'm far from an expert in how the war weight algorithm works, but how can you say this if you can't see his war bases/defenses?Quote:

Anyways that base you will attack looks rushed and fresh th 8 which means it might have only lvl 2 giant bombs, so a mass hog would be your best shot.
Glad to see so many of you are in the Christmas spirit... :rolleyes:
Go back and stick to farming? Jesus...yeah, I can see how rude this guy was in his initial post to generate that type of response.
Such a comment should be reserved for someone like neverstopdrooling, not a guy who simply posts for some help...
I said it's bad for war weight because he's leveled the things he doesn't need and hasn't done the things he needs.. yes to gibarch and wb, but level 3 king, super low spells, everything unlocked but level 1, and no usable war troops..
If your troops were decently leveled I'd say zapquake with mass drags. But since you can't do that your best bet is a plain ole GoWiPe. Go in from the bottom with around 4 wb to get through both layers of walls, drop 3 golems 2 pekkas and your wizards in short pursuit and it should go down easy. It only has th 7 defenses plus no compartmentalization. Make sure you send wizzies in waves. 2 rage one heal.
16 hogs + 6 drag + 3 heal spell + 4 max hogs cc.
Let go of 2 hogs from the top to detonate the giant bomb (I think). Then one hog to lure enemy's cc troop. If there is a balloon, drop the bk to lure it out. Then drop dragons to kill the cc dragon (maybe). Then hogs from the top. Place cc hogs at the bottom then drop heal
