Early TH7 - Dealing With Witches

I feel like I should tag this as TH6, because, when I was a TH6, I encountered a clan that mainly used witches in their defensive CC (or it was only that one war, but two of the bases I've attacked, which are notably in the bottom of their roster, used witches). Lured and tried using a lot of archers (wizards?) as usual to no avail - or maybe I used that strategy incorrectly (I don't have the replay anymore - it's old) on my first attack -- the attempt was so terrible that on my second attempt I used a lightning spell to destroy the witches.

What worries me is that I'm using a lot of healing spells for my current strategy, and the mass-dragon strategy involves destruction of an AD (from what I understand) - wasting one lightning spell on clan castle troops might mean I'll get two stars instead of three stars - ADs require three lightning spells to be completely destroyed.

Granted, of all of the, more or less, thirty wars I've participated, or seen, at the least, one war used witches, but still, I'm terribly worried the next war that uses witches I'll do horribly. What should I do? Use the regular archer luring tactic and spam archers once they get out of range? Use wizards instead of archers? Use archers to distract the witch/skeletons while the wizards do all of the damage? Keep in mind -- no dragons, no DE troops.

Witches not effect much when u use full drag.. Skeleton cant fly right :s for kill her with some troops i should recomend for have some barbarians too, lure to corner and when the skeleton far from witch, spawn barbarians beside her, 3 for each witch should be enough ;)

Just ignore the witches when you mass dragon, and poison them at 8 and above.

If you don't have dragons, bring a lightning. Make sure the lightning hits the witch so she can't spawn more skellies.

If you have dragons, ignore the witch as her and her skellies will burn in glorious dragon fire.

Request for a level 4+ dragon in your CC and that should help with any enemy cc that you come across. (If the enemy CC has a dragon then add a few archers to the mix as well)
