Max TH 8 - time to push!

[Shadowslayer3120]

I've recently maxed TH 8 (except ~130 skulls, which I'm planning on doing before upgrading to TH 9), and as planned, it's time to push! I'm not going to try for anything crazy like Champions league (I don't have the time), but I do want to reach Masters (for a sense of achievement and the gems haha). I'm planning on just sniping and BAM'ing until the bases are too difficult, then use Dragons or GoWiPe - I feel like I've "mastered" these strategies as a TH 8. The highest I've been is C2 as a nooby little TH 7, so I don't have any experience with pushing. I'll post updates here, and I was wondering if anyone has any pushing tips for me. Thanks!

EDIT: Here's my base: http://imgur.com/MIG8sRp

Hmm, maybe i can come up with some tips.
-Stay on for 2 hour sessions+ so you get more attacks in
-Barching to 2400-2450 seems like a good idea
-I would proceed with mass drag or gowipe to 2600

A fellow clanmate of mine did this and got to masters relatively easy, ANYWAY! GOOD LUCK!

I prefer BAM because
a) I've used it hundreds of times, and
b) it trains much faster

After I finish farming ten more skulls, I'll be pushing to Masters as well.

I figured I can, as well, BAM/BARCH to Crystal II and then I'll Hog/GoWiPe to Masters III.

At ~2130, snipes are very scarce. Luckily there are other TH 8's up here, so 50%'s are easy.

Just hit Crystal 2, continuing to push with 2 boosted rax, 1 boosted DB, and a boosted BK and spell factory.

2300 and climbing.

I hit masters as a th8 Here's a few tips
-Use a trophy base until 2200
Barch from 2000-2400
Balloonion from 2400-2500
Mass drag from 2500-2600
-If you EVER have a doubt about at least one starring a base, next it
-NEVER raid without a full army, clan castle, and king.

Yeah just keep sniping when you can and BAM a base with 50% or more buildings on the outside. Try to carry lightning spells on you because they can save the day. Okay you are th 8, they are th 9-10 so don't try something you are unsure about.

Best of luck it's possible
