TH8 attack strategies

What attack strategies do you use while pushing?

Use archers barbs and if you want to, minions. use these troops to get open town halls and to get 50% victorys. The reason for useing cheap troops is to raid more. Hope this helped

What attack strategies do you use while pushing?

Well, there's a lot. You can go with hog rider strategy, you can go with mass dragons, you could go with Balloons + Minions, you could go with a simple BAG 50%ing army, Giant + Healer, etc.

Mass Dragons:

x10 Dragons
x3 Lightning Spells

Simple. Look for poorly defended air defense, take out hard to get AD w/ Lightning, summon your dragons and let unleash hell. Though not cost affective, pretty much guarantees trophies and can push to crystal.

Balloons + Minion:

I'm not too sure of how to use this strategy, but I know it's the big thing right now going around. Google or search forums for in depth guides.

Giant + Healer:

x20 Giants
x2 Healers
x10 Wall Breakers
x52 Archers
spells of your choice

Deploy a couple giants near a relatively exposed AD, wall breaker into it, take it down, throw down your healer, put archers behind 'em to mop up.

BAG:

x67 Archers
x67 Barbarians
x66 Goblins
x1-3 Rage
Barbarian King helps a lot.

Use barbarians for damage + distractions, deploy archers behind them for added DPS, use goblins to clear storages, and try to keep a decent amount for coring a base (getting to storages and wiping them out for loot).

Good luck.

In the list above, only mass dragons attack is applicable.

As a TH8, you still have weak baloons and weak giants. So Barch or BAM for quick 1-2star attacks.
If you're in Crystal 1 or higher, I would recommend Hogs + Heals, Mass Dragons or even GoWiPe. Search about them.
