Drags in war cc!

[chewy43]

sorry, wizards+queen+rage

At TH10 you cant 3 star another TH10 without the queen, its difficult enough with the queen.
If you are going for a 2 star the 30 secs you need to kill the dragon dont make much of a difference.
If you are a TH10 hitting a TH9 then you shouldnt have a problem with the extra 20 space plus extra spell and higher lvl troops.

I have pretty much all max troops and I hit a pretty well max th9 and just run out of time. lots of troops left but get stuck at 98% because there is not enough time by the time i lure and kill cc drag and loons.

[Cowbug]

its not the killing of the drag. Its the time that it takes to kill them.

I agree the queen is very handy in killing the drag but my queen is upgrading all the time.

If you were in my clan you wouldn't be in war with an upgrading hero.

Saw it coming a loooooong time ago:

I dont disagree with leaving people out while upgrading. But it takes a week to upgrade either hero and my heroes are upgrading constantly because I need them to be better. Should I sit out of wars for 40 weeks while my heroes are upgrading?

Im a mid range th10

.............& You're complaining about a Dragon......

If you are getting 98% you just need to tweak your army composition and deployment a bit.
If you are going with goho for example you can bring 2-3 wizards more for clean up in place of 2 less hogs.
And you could deploy the wizards faster to begin clean up, as soon as the hogs clear a spot drop a wizards behind them for clean up.

Dresden, that is part of my point. I like not knowing what is coming out of cc. Now I know 95% of the time it is drag and loons.

Dragons are not the best in the CC, because it is relatively easy to kill but with poison out there it fits a role in some matchups.

When deciding what to put in our war CC we break it down into groups based on what we think we will face.

Our TH6-TH7 with weak AD: 2x valks, then wizards. The rationale is that good players who dragon will destroy TH6-7 no matter what, but not all enemy clan members will use dragons. So let's mess up their attacks from weak players using ground troops and force a 2nd attack from those who know how to attack through the air.

TH7 with max AD-TH8 whose mirror doesn't have access to poison: all wizards in the CC. It's the best shot to stop dragons, if someone has to attack down to clean up the first attack, that's great. Force a 2nd attack.

TH8 with good to max AD, and enemy mirror facing us has access to poison: 1 dragon, 1 wizard, 1 archer. It's the best option out there that we've come up with. A good player can still 3 star you, but if we can hold TH8 mirrors to a 2 star gowipe and fend off lvl3 dragon attacks that require some skill in funneling, that's a win. Again, how can we force a 2nd attack.

TH9: depends on the mirror, will they gowipe? lavaloon, dragon?, hog?, or a variation? Sometimes we go dragon/wiz, others valk/witch/wizards. We diversify a little there to make them guess a bit on what they will face. Tried lavahounds once, didn't seem too effective, but we were facing a clan where we were grossly overmatched (and swept for the first time). Basically, if we think they will throw lavaloons: dragon, if they will gowipe: valk/witch. Hogs: valk/witch.

As you can tell, generally our strategy is to survive the 1st attack, use up their chances, and then force clean ups to keep it close: when we can hold them to 2 star and we can get 3, we win. When that deviates, things get hairy.
