Dragons – Cancer of Clan Wars

[o0oAnnyo0o]

Please, before you complain about Dragon, just google about it.

There are many many thread about it, and most of the time, people's respond is the same:

Dragon's are not OP. It's OP at TH7, just right at TH8, weak at TH9 and seriously Under Power at TH10.

And no, you can't always 3* a Th8 with Dragon, no matter how good you are at it.

And most people who spend time agrueing that Dragons are OP would realize that they are wrong in coupe of month after they complain.

Greetings,

I am the leader of a very active war clan, consisting mainly from town hall 7s and 8s, all of which are experienced players. Lately we've discovered an unfortunate phenomena; all-dragon attacks. 80% of our losses are due to this troop composition. Three starring a nearly maxed town hall seven with level 2+ dragons requires no planning whatsoever.
Furthermore, at town hall 7 it's practically impossible to design a viable anti-air base. The two air defenses available go only to level 5, providing the firepower to take out two or three dragons before they overrun the base completely.

To counter this flaw, low-level air defense should be somehow buffed. Increasing the amount of seeking air mines at low levels would balance the problem to some extent.

true that mass dragon is great for maxing out th7 and non-maxed th8 defenses. but that as far as it could go.
dragons are useless for th9/10, maxed-and-smart th8 base, and also time wasting th7 bases.

so don't give up. won't take long before your clan equals all dragon clan

But I will have a bite at the obvious inconsistencies.

How can you be a very active war clan which consists of TH's where dragons are most prevalent and only be bumping into this phenomena now? Complaints of this have been happening since the hogs nerf mid last year or almost 9 months ago.

Dragons aren't op. U grow u get stronger troops and more challenging bases to deal with. Our th8s who r almost maxed have switched to gowipe cause dragons dont always cut it and if th lvls r slightly skewed in a war match up we can rely on them 2 star lower th9s. Drags have their time and place at a certain th lvl. By your reasoning we would all b attacking still with giants and healers, because it wouldn't b fair to grow and get stronger troops if a 3 star was a possibility

I'm at the end of th8 and I dragloon. It's extremely effective because people refuse to make ad a priority. If you're th8 and have lvl 4 ad you're gonna get wrecked if the attacker has any idea what they're doing. Once you see level 5/6 ad that's where it gets tricky, and you have to gameplan the base to use those backend loons. Not every th8 can be three starred by dragloon if ad placement is good and storages are placed right.

As far as th7 goes if you play the game much you know they don't have a chance in hell to stop a mediocre attacker with mass drag.

U can stop lvl 1 drags at th7 with ad. If u r getting hit by a th8 with lvl 2/3 drags that knows what they r doing then no it's a diff story. It's a poor attacker with maxed troops who can't 3 star a th below them. Having said that we just had a war with a rusher clan. We had one player at th8 who was hit by th9s and 10s who couldn't 3 star him. Was comedy gold

These threads are annoying...they keep popping up. New OP or necro-thread...same whining complaints...

TH8 and below are extremely weak vs air raids. Deal with it,. Place your skele traps strategically and set to air, put all AD/s in middle, and pray. Upgrade so you won't fall to this strategy so easily.

Mass drag can 2 star a nonmax th9 with a skilled attacker and an exploitable lay out...after that it requires a lot more luck even with a good dragon attacker and a prime lay out. Those extra archer towers, AD's and xbows make a real difference for TH9/10's.

No, dragons do not ruin clan wars because they are largely phased out by end game...and end game (TH9 and TH10) is where real clan wars and competition begins. Sorry, but TH8 and below is easy when you apply the tactics TH9/10's use (here i said TACTICS not armies, bc a TH8 or below obviously cannot use the same armies).

Enough with this dragon nerf thing. They're nerfed at the higher levels. If supercell was to nerf it at th7, then what's the point of unlocking dragons? SC nerfs troops at some point, but that doesn't mean they want to make it not usable by nerfing a troop right away. I agree th7's have no way of defending dragons, but if that's the case then why not use dragons yourself?

I found this funny

Dragons suck at th9 and 10, and max th8. Nerfing them or buffing th7 AD would make the whole troop useless for all levels, which would suck even more IMO. My best advice for you is to suck it up and push through, and if you hate it that much then get to max th8 or higher asap. Dragons are only good for 1 and a half town hall levels
