Most common fatal attack mistakes??

[NF2335]

When a player spams giants without luring the CC troops.

TH7-: How do you make a mistake here?

When a player using 1 or 2 lightning spells in a dragon attack.

That's seriously the most common mistake you see?

Not the most common but it's one that I do occasionally see

A common one in clan is when using dragons dropping them all in a clump and then watching them all go for the same building on the outside and just wondering round without going to the middle

Ugh I hate this one, it's so frustrating in war.

Lol, dragons have been mentioned several times. Using dragons past th7 is a common fatal mistake.

Beyond that, most attacks I see fail, fail right off the beginning. You get a sense for whether an attack can even be a 3 star or not early on. Not clearing corner buildings, poor use of wallbreakers, splitting the cc troops (now a days usually the dragon from the loons), not having wizards close enough to golems/golems entering inside a base alone, dropping heal spells on tanks, dropping heal spells when your target troops are not being damaged, using up your spells too quickly, running into a giant bomb, having splash pick off wizards/witches, approaching from the wrong side, bunching golems, ...

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. There's a million ways for an attack to go wrong, and only a handful of ways it will go right.

...if you know what you are doing and select an appropriate strategy for an appropriate base, dragons can three star quite a few TH8's as TH8. If you think using them past TH7 is automatically a mistake, you simply don't know how to use them.

They do run out of steam as a TH8 when attacking a well designed maxed TH8.

When you are snipping a TH with Archer Queen,you drop her and no Teslas appear. You think to yourself,should be safe,gonna use my skill to save some time,and it happens... the archers that spawn initiate the teslas and congratulations you have to wait about 40mins for your queen to heal. JOYS OF LIFE

On their own, agreed, but in combination with other troops against the right bases, they can be used effectively well into TH10. Definitely isn't as easy as using them at TH7 and the first half of TH8!
