TH 8 HOGS! 3 STAR ATTACK FOR CLAN WAR. by Cast n' Blast

[Rapnrx7]

Lol, we can definitely tell the multiple TH levels since it's a TH9 optimized attack :P


Honestly, that probably had more to do with proper healing than anything as you learn how to better handle your hogs. Look at the stat bump to level 6 giants, that's why TH9s incorporate some giants for the early parts of their attacks.

Wow, really? You think? Of course the proper heal placement is essential as it is in ANY hog raid.

As you gain more knowledge of the game, you'll figure this out... umm maybe..

The cc kill is an important part of the attack. I usually use 6 archers and 6 wiz or 7 and 7 for the whole attack. That gives me 3 or 4 wiz with the archers to take down the whole cc then they double as clean up troops. I see way too many people use those troops to take down the cc then let them run straight into defensive fire and die. Choosing the spot where to do the cc kill makes an important part of the whole attack because once it is under way I will start at that side with my hogs letting those troops start to clean up the base.

I apologize for my delayed response. I have a bunch of videos waiting to go up, I just got busy with work and the holidays. Expect the rest to be up this weekend. Hopefully they can further demonstrate the cc kill and hogs paths.

You clearly didn't understand the point of my statement, that learning how to heal better means that slightly less than optimized armies are more effective than runs with optimized troops but poor execution.

Agreed, but properly executed you dont need any more non hog clan up troops than the cc kill squad (if you split them to go opposite directions)

Hey guys I am in the middle of a huge amount of uploads now. I should have a ton of great TH8 hog videos up this weekend. I figured i would post a few I have now. I have been running this method and now have a few clan members doing the same thing. We are wrecking TH8s with it left and right. It works.

This first video shows a fail and clean and how I made the hog path into a fairly easy double bomb set.



This base didn't have any double bombs but it show the method that just keeps working for me. It is also an internet base so i figured I would record it.



I have some more internet bases uploading now including a version of th8 "gamatrix" and th8 "dragon flower". Hope these videos give you an idea how we are working the attack.

Hey guys thought i would update with another base that I see every war. This video has 2 replays. Both bases are maxed out and one has a double bomb. You can see the plan is still working great.

..... Why aren't you double poisoning the CC where it comes out and just releasing pretty much nothing but hogs?

Video is already outdated lol.

Don't worry. I just hit the same exact base with a double bomb using 2 poisons for the cc. It worked all the same if not better. I will make a video of the attack today for you. Thank you for your observation.

It works better, and also means you can change the troop composition. More hogs means a larger buffer between you and failure. Better players can go without the buffer, but bringing more hogs will never hurt them and when you're making videos lesser players will be better abe to emulate them with a larger margin between their strategy and failure.

[castnblast]

You are correct. For the average to lower player this attack has went from great to fairly unstoppable. I didn't want to keep you waiting, so here is the exact base that i posted before but with the update. I see this base almost every war now, so it was not hard to find another to hit. This base has double bombs as well. I did not know that going in, but it doesn't matter, the attack always works.
