Most foolproof and efficient strategy for (new) TH9 to 3 star any TH8

[TheJ]

Barch



In all seriousness though, lavaloonion with 2 hounds or flat out hogs should work. Surgical works best at TH8 as there is usually little to no point defense in the middle in most bases, eliminating any use of golems.

You actually saved that

Funny since it was against an anti-3 star base...

just use about 10 wiz 5arch/barbs/gobs for clean up then rest hogs

first thing i did on the lab as new th9 was dragons lv.4. i attack max 8 with 10 dragon, 5 loons in cc, and 3 lightnings/1 rage or 2 heals / 2 rages depending on aa displacement... king and quenn, no matter the level, used to cut the conrners to funnel dragons where i want... i cc is lurable i use 1 giant 15 archers to lure and kill the obvious dragon...

i cleaned 20 max th8 so far in war, never had a problem or a risk of failure

10 wizards is WAYYYY too many, and clearly you have never met a double giant bomb when we're talking about a foolproof strategy.

No 9 should EVER do level 4 dragons first. Had you done loons, you'd have an OP troop against TH8s (just dropped two heal spells and had about 20/32 loons left on a maxed 8 in our latest war) that costs half as much as dragons, and is critical in the TH9 three star strategy of laloonion, AND can be used as a clean up troop in every other TH9 3 star strategy.

As for risks of failure with dragons on maxed 8s, one of their 9s just blew an attack with dragons on one of our maxed 8s.

I'm sure I'll catch a lot of flack for saying this, but with heroes unusable in war while upgrading I have zero desire to grind out my heroes since I play the game specifically for wars and don't get enjoyment out of farming. I know id quit the game before going without my heroes for the combined 40 weeks or whatever it would be at th9 and the game isn't worth the amount of money required to gem the hero time.

Up to level 15, you can have 1 war and 1 upgrade per week, because the updates take less than 7 days.

After that, I will tend to aim to start an upgrade at the end of one war, miss a week for the upgrade, do the next war, then same again (we war twice a week).

that way you aren't missing the heroes completely, but you still eventually get them to useful levels.

That's a good compromise, and a warring hero upgrade window for all of us could be a great thing if we can organize it.
