    lv 1 hogs
    lv 2 drags
    lv 4 spells
    200 army space
    no golems
    lv 4 loons

    i shoudn't even have to say anything more than that but i have a lot of haters forum stalking me so of course theyll DEMAND & REQUIRE an explanation
    you are able to get hogs to level 2 at th7 but the simple truth is most people don't bother because A you can't use lv 2 hogs. and B dark elixer is pretty much hard to come by and being spent on the BK so arguing whatever you want to argue the simple truth is that the VAST majority of players enter th8 with lv 1 hogs.

    now to upgrade a hog to lv 4 from level 1(i personally dont think they should(not could) be used before they reach this level) takes a minimum of 30 days+ the lab upgrade time with no downtime so in reality about 35-40 days.

    now lets have a look at the dragon. from lv 2 ( i feel a very decent number of people who aren't blindly rushing get their drags to level 2) to level 3(max for th8) take 10 days plus the lab upgrade for effectively 0 downtime.

    dragons: 10 days hogs 35-40 days need i say more? its really no debate when it comes what to upgrade first. i personally went with drags lightning and now balloons(just to donate myself) because in the long road of upgrades that are due at th8. which is the easiest the simplest. that can 3 star max th8s with relative ease(with skill and practice) while you spend the next 90 days upgrading your other fancy troops?

    lv 5 lightning x 2
    lv 4(5 is better of course but you're a new th8) rage x1
    eq spell x1
    10 lv 3 dragons
    5/4 max loons
    you're all welcome.
    Please re-read my initial post:

    TH8 has become a very CHALLEGING TH to war at and that’sa good thing. I still agree with manythat Drags should be the first troop upgraded at TH 8 because at early to midthey are still #1 strategy.
    And NO you can't 3 star MAX Th 8's with "relative ease" with drag. Fantasy world.

    No, it's not. It's called someone calling you out as well.

    What you should do is: (1) Look in mirror, (2) speak aloud, "This is what a douche canoe looks like" then (3) Take action to stop being a douche canoe.

    i personally don't think th8 is challenging at all. perhaps because ive maxed th9 and now working on perfecting my strategies there. but yea i feel th8 is no different than th7 at least for me at this point

    Just stop. You're sounding more ridiculous by the post.

    Really don't get why every other topic around here is made a meal out of.

    Simple questions should be followed by simple answers. Its no wonder SC doesn't take forumers seriously cause half the people here are idiot nitwitted ♥♥♥♥s.

    ...

    As a fresh townhall 8 you want to invest into level 3 dragons. All drags with light quake is a great strategy and even better with maxed cc loons. Once you perfect Dragoon, upgrade your hogs to at-least level 3 and start hogging as hogs, GoHo,HoLo etc. will be your long term 3 star strats, especially against maxed th8s.

    Best

    Theres not a lot of options at TH8...
    Earliest TH8:
    Drags (2 light + 1 eq + 1 rage)

    Mid TH8:
    GoHo (3 heal) - NEED lvl 4 hogs

    Late (Mastering) TH8:
    GoWipe (2 rage 1 heal)
    GoWiVa (2 heal 1 rage)
    GoVaLo (2 heal 1 rage)

    GoHo and mass hogs is, easily, late TH8 as well. I'd argue they are significantly stronger than any of the, "late" you listed above (in my mind, it's not even close), but, this entire thread has morphed into a discussion about how EQ Light, which you refer to as an early TH8 attack is an all-around attack at TH8 and can, easily 3* max TH8 war bases...

    Even before EQ came out, he was 3* max TH8 war bases with 3 lightning. The rest of us must really suck...

    as for reserving the bases. yea im ok sounded good at first but as a leader i don't feel itd be fair to my clanmates we do assign bases although im trying to push away from that and only assign bases to the greedy ones who don't know how to choose the correct base to attack. also the best way to recieve the gems? i reccomend a google play card in which you can pm me the neccasary details. ive never bought gems for my account and would love the oppurtunity for some easy free ones. let me know if theres a bonus for completing 10 wars with no fails lol id like that

    Jesus so much random ♥♥♥♥ in this post

    But I'm gonna have to argue with the hogs being late th8. I'd get started learning hogs as soon as possible, but until then, Dragons and loons (and maybe hogs) are your best bet.

    Very base dependent, but I've almost completely walked away from using loons in my dragon attacks. Especially the air sweeper- that thing kills dragon raids. Loons are even worse. The only thing I would use dragons for is where you could easily get one to two air defenses with CC full of hogs (and 4 lvl 4 hogs in army camp if you can get 2), and zapquake the second. Last spell goes to rage. Dragons are incredibally tanky, and with just a little boost, they can get to the last AD relatively easily. Again, base dependent. Either that or clearing CC or getting past a ton of point.

    All during this time, GRIND OUT DE. Seriously, hogs are going to be your main point of focus during th8. Get them to 4 AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. If you get dragons first I'm fine with that, maybe even loons, but as soon as you finish those get those hogs up. They're seriously overpowered at th8. I'm at the point where I'd hog almost any base, and it's working out great for me.

    For war strategies, if you have lvl 4 archers, then 40 arch 32 hogs, 5 hogs in cc. 3 heal 1 poison. If you have lvl 5, then 30 arch is enough. If you have lvl 5 wiz, I'd transition into 7 wiz, 7 barbs, 5 arch, and 32 hogs. Watch a couple OneHive's elite eights for the barb+wiz cc kill. It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

    Also, golems. If you find a base with a dgb that you can't pretrigger with the lure or something, Goho is the way to go. A single golem is usually enough, even at lvl 1. I like dragging then using golem walk to distract cc. Couple wiz to kill. Funnel, break in, and drop BK and rest of wiz down. I'd say even before king aggros, start with hog drop. Either do 2 finger drop, asian wall, or surgical. Heal when needed.

    Again, those are sorta mid-late th8, but it's by far your best bet on getting 3 stars.

    I just don't like gowipe and it's risky. 2 star strat anyways.
