Do u think Mass Dragon attacks involves no skill??

[Beeplance]

Clan war dragon-user here, and I will agree with what some of the forumers here mentioned. Dragon attacks at TH8 or higher (don't talk to me about TH7) definitely requires a certain lvl of common sense and skill.

You need to pick bases where it will be relatively easier to reach all 3 (or 2, if you use 3 lightning spells) ADs. Even using 10 lvl 3 dragons against bases with air defenses situated deep within the base is suicide. Place two dragons on either side of the path you want to enter by to clear the surrounding structures, then proceed to deploy your dragons in the middle so they'll go straight instead of going around the base. Also, most of the time I don't deploy all 10 at once, I keep 2-3 as reinforcements, depending on the situation I'll deploy them.

For TH7, just throw 3 lightning spells on 1 AD, deploy 10 dragons in whatever manner you want, and it's guaranteed 3 stars. What can 1 AD do against 10 dragons?

TH9 and above.... I don't think it'll still be appropriate to do mass dragons. Still do-able, but it'll be difficult to get 3 stars, considering the fact that you'll have to deal with 4 ADs now.

If you get lucky and spam your drags in one spot and they go exactly where they need to then yes they require no skill. The real statement is that the player has no skill, they just had luck. Drags do require skill to show consistent 3 stars in battle. They wont always go where they are supposed to, the real skill is predicting their paths and knowing where to place them. You can tell the players apart whom you can always count on a 3 star attack, from those you cant, even though they both use mass drags. Yes they are pretty much a guarantee 1 star against th8 and below, but in our clan even a 2 star attack is considered a failure and must be redone when we are in war.

If your clan is a low level one and your highest people are th7s then I can see where you are coming from. But once you get into a clan that is th8 and up you will have another thing coming if all you know how to use is mass drags. Simply laying them all down in one spot and using spells whenever will only earn you frustration and you will go on raging that your drags are so stupid, when all they are doing is following their AI that you were too stupid to learn and plan.

Eh it depends, on cluttered bases you really cant go wrong with deployment. But honestly hogs aren't that better and CoC really doesn't require much of "skill" at all

a little bit of skill: funneling the drags and correct timing and placement of spells

[gringoboy70]

They probably take the last amount of skill for any comp you could run in the game. You ignore heroes, you ignore cc, you drop ten or so troops and that's it. You have no worry about traps. The only reason you might think they take skill is because they aren't reliable for getting two stars and the better you are, the higher your chances are for obtaining those. But dragon skill ceiling is so low, they don't even belong in the same category as gowiwi or gowipe. People think just because you have to funnel your dragons to be successful, it's a skill to be proud of. EVERY army in the game needs some sort of funneling in order to get the townhall, except for hogs. All in all, a pro gowiwier or gowiper can easily transition to mass dragons while I bet a mass dragoner would fall on their face using the other armies.

your wrong it doesn't guarantee 3 stars my th7 base was attacked by 11 level 2 dragons with 2 rage and 1 heal spell but failed and only got 2 stars and i still have 4 defenses left and 2 storages..it's not about just puting 100k putty and wrcked the base like backyard

You need skill to make your dragons centre.

1star ~ no skill
2star ~ a little skill
3star ~ skill

It's a lot harder when you only have a 10-12 unit dragon army to create a funnel and to take down the middle. With Gowipe/gowiwi you have a LOT more units to play around in creating funnel and still having enough units left over to take down the middle. The less move you have, the more important each move is, and the less you can afford any mistake. You are grossly underestimating the skill involved in using a dragon army well, or maybe you have only reach a very low level and gave up. Lastly, you're talking about different arena. Mass dragon is mostly for Th7/8. They are no where as effective at TH9 let alone 10. Pro gowipe/gowiwi are clearly mostly TH9/10. Why would you compare them to th8 strategies?

Because the question is do drags take skill. So I'm comparing them to other army types. Just because you use dragons at th8 and not th10, doesn't mean that you can't still measure the difficulty. That's like saying you can't compare mass archers which you can easily get away with at th5, because th10's don't use mass archers. For the record, mass archers takes no skill.

vs a TH7 - no skill. Zap one air defense and spam... or spam and heal/rage. No matter what it's 3*.

vs a TH8 - A little skill, but not really hard, even with an "anti-drag" base.

vs a TH9 - Depending on the layout of their air defense a lot of skill. Normally always a 2* but a very skillful raid and poor base design needed for a 3*

vs a TH10 - Quite often with good amount of skill a TH9 or TH10 can and will get 2*. I've actually had a few 3* vs other TH10 with IT... but also one 98% which annoyed me!
