I would seriously consider waiting until you're a very good TH9, with high level heroes. Better as a TH10. The longer you wait, the easier it'll be of course. Better troops, and a better defense. After master 3, you should put your TH outside. There are many that are happy to take your TH and leave, with the 100/100/500 league bonus.
One interesting thing: When you get to high master 2, and master 1, you will get hit by champs a lot, as most other champs have shields, and your base is the next available. I got 3 starred (non-revenge) for -1 trophy. The rest were snipes for -1 to -4 trophies.
I trapped my TH while pushing. While I hate to do it, it prevents someone from putting an archer there, then having a no risk, full-out assault on my base.
Best of luck in your push![]()
