TH lvl 6 and getting my ♥♥♥♥ kicked in attacks. What am I doing wrong.

[Eaglehide]

As the title tells, I have been lately VERY ineffective when it comes to offensive. I'm not contributing to my clan and am getting nothing when attacking outside of war. I have got

Lvl 3: Barbarians, archers and Giants. ( I will have lvl 3 wizard in day but i doubt it will change anything)
Lvl 2: Wizards, balloons, minions and wall breakers.
Trophy count: currently at 1037.

I'm totally completely ineffective against the TH5's. Can't dare to attack anything higher but that's what game is pitching me against in the match making. I can barely go beyond 20% or so when it comes to attacking someone at the moment. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I usually go with 4 wizards, 10 or 15 Giants and rest a combinations of barbarians, archers and wall breakers. My troop count is 130 at the moment.

Shouldn't your army be getting stronger as you progress? because I don't feel that. The game just feels unbalanced at the moment at my current level.

Learn to giant/healer. You'll never look back.

[mustahaha]

Yep giant/healer is the best thing to do in TH6 , you can 3 star almost all TH6 bases in war if you learn that strategy (search for giant/healer TH6 in the forums or youtube )
and if you want more loot , there are tons of it in silver 1

I completely agree with the Giant-Healer Strategy! It's the best possible TH6 attack and I have very fond memories of it.

But another thing that helps , and I don't know what your base includes, but it's just a thought: Perhaps you haven't been using your TH's maximum offensive capacity?

Have you completely upgraded your Army Camps?
Have you Completley upgraded your Lab/Troops in the lab?
Have you completely Upgraded your Spells?
Have you completely Upgraded you Barracks?

--Remember that spells play a big role in the success of your raids- especially as you go up in TH levels!

Otherwise, I wish you the best of luck in trying out the Giant-Healer raids!

Lvl 2 Minions? I think you meant Goblins.

Anyway, Giant Healer is a good combo against TH 6s if you are trying to 3 star them. When I was a TH 6, I started using Barching for the first time against TH 5s & 6s. It turned out to be efefctive since most TH 5s/6s are inactive for a long time & you can easily go for collector raids.

For your trophy range, stay below 1000 if you want to keep your loot a little safer.

Just try to keep your troops [Except Giants] safe from Splash twrs & never bunch them up at a single point. & never depend on your Giants to do the damage. In groups, Giants can do a lot of damage but their main purpose it to tank for other troops to damage the buildings.

Heal[Spell or Healer] + Giants = 3 Stars.
