Dragon attacks during war Needs to be stopped

[Epthian]

I'm sure like many other clans, I am sick and tired of opposing teams during war continuously using dragon Based attacks. A brainless yet 90% chance 3 star win rate(depending on dragon level and defending base) So how bout putting a limit to the amount of Dragons that a player can use on each attack? (3 for example)

This then forces players to think of a more fitting strategy instead of relying on Dragons and Giving the more legit (strategist) clans a better more fair fight.

Something needs to be resolved about this brainless tactic of dragon attacks during war

Why in the world would SC do this?! The point of clan wars is to get a lot of stars, just upgrade your AD and dragons and stop crying

Strategy of war, use your most strongest troops to decimate the enemy.

The same goes to every wars.

Stop referring to me as upgrading my defences. IM MAX TH 8 so have fun 3 starring unless your a th 9 with extra spells and dragon.

I'm referring to the lower TH levels that struggle against dragon attacks. I agree to a point that placement helps along with spells. But even then your still in hope the dragons go where you want them to go. So it's still luck in a sense.

I don't use Dragons cause I'm not a sheep and like to think my stratedgy to the base design I'm up against. I've used them and I've had my wins and losses just like everyone else.

Yeah it's war and you use your best troops. But I'm demanding to create more the challenge for attackers instead of 90% of everyone on clash now using the brainless no thought army choice of just Dragons to attack.

90% chance of 3 star, you say?

You sound like either:

a) A th7

b) A th8 in a clan with many th9s and 10s

For me it's a 15% chance 3 star. Attack and defence.

Dragons requires strategy, a little bit.


If you just spam your drag you would lose that war for sure. I have seen clans with only dragon attacks and they can only 1/2 star mid TH8s with lvl 3 drags. You are good at it doesn't mean everyone is good at it.

A TH8 base can easily defend dragons. My base has yet to be 3-starred by dragons. In my last war, the enemy's #1 player sent in all level 3 dragons and only managed 2 stars. My base only has level 5 AD's, level 7/8 archers towers, level 3-4 teslas, etc. My aerial defenses are not maxed, and he still didn't manage 3 stars. I was watching his camps during the war, and he kept building all-dragon armies for raiding, so he had plenty of practice.

I only managed 2 stars against his base, using level 3 dragons. I've been using dragons and dragloon(ion) raids in all my war attacks for the last 2 months, and I rarely fail to 3 star. In this case, the enemy's base had all maxed defenses, except his AD's were only level 4. But those level 10 archer towers, level 6 teslas, and level 6 wizard towers sure did a number on me. I managed to take out the two centralized AD's by the TH, but I had to get through the 2 AD's, the TH, CC, and several storages to get to the third AD, and I only managed to damage it. A maxed TH8 is a beast against dragons.

whatever gets you three stars is a fitting strategy, and this post has appeared like 50 times in the forums, its not goina change and supercell have no reason to change it

I've set myself a challenge for my TH7 account. The challenge is to 3 star a moderate TH8 (all level 5 air defence and close to the centre) with an all dragon army. I had my first ever shot at it recently, with level 5 air defence in a triangle shape. Got 2 stars and took out all 3 air defence but sadly my level 1 drags didn't have the legs to finish off the base.

If I eventually prove I can regularly 3 star moderate TH8s, in my eyes I've proven the dragon attack is too strong especially for subtlety required to use it.

I had a similar experience. Got my main account to TH7, unlocked dragons, started trying them out in war. At first only against TH7's, but eventually we started having TH8's show up in the enemy clans. I eventually figured out that I could 3-star early-mid TH8's with level 1 dragons. It usually required careful planning to exploit some sort of flaw in their base layout, especially with the positioning of storages relative to air defenses. I quickly learned that a few balloons could really help guarantee that I don't "miss" an AD by going around it.

When I got my main account to TH8, I also got my alt account to TH7. With my experience of several dragon wars, I was able to use my TH7 (with level 1 dragons) to 3-star the weaker TH8's in the enemy clan, so I could save my TH8 to 3-star the strong TH8's. In most wars, I get 12 stars against the top 4 players in the other clan. Rarely, I'll have to face a (new/rushed) TH9 or a near-maxed TH8, and I only get 1-2 stars against those.

In my opinion, level 1 dragons need to be nerfed. Level 2 and 3 and pretty okay. Level 4 needs a buff, because honestly, why would a TH10 use dragons?

dont be stupid, drag is the only strategy open for TH7 and pre-gowipe TH8s

thank you...couldn't have put it better myself.

this is so stupid. it will NEVER be implemented....and if it is I will QUIT PLAYING COC!!!!!!! because, personally, I LOVE to attack you whiners with 10+ lvl 3 drags and make your anti-barch bases into a little piles of smashed wood......(or ashes in my case...lol).........somehow, I find pleasure in that.

STOP WHINING!!!!!!!
-----------
upgrade your drags and use them
upgrade your air d/air traps
make an anti-drag base
or join a weak clan..........it really is THAT simple.

Level 1 and 2 dragons,I can deal with them.But not lvl 3 and 4.

[Drackos]

Yeah this is the only good strategy at townhall 7. Mortars and archers just destroy Giants. 2 air defenses make quick work of healers. Just wouldn't work out all that well. Drags are pretty effective and I feel fair for the most part. I can 2 star a Townhall 8 with level 5 air defense x3. Once they get to 6; yeah drags get if you're lucky 1 star.

They have their times andit's towmhall 7-8.
