So after looking at a lot of raid guids, i noticed that they where very specific and where not able to be changed. This guide should help people making their army without being too specific.
So before you begin the actual guide there are a few things you should know before reading.
I put every troop in the game in a group:
Tier 1 Troops: Barbarian, Archer and wizard
These troops are low-medium price, and can be very strong in groups.
Tier 2 Troops: Goblins, Giants, Wallbreakers, Balloons, Healer Minion and Hog Rider
These troops have their own specification(exept minion and hog rider), ex. the giant will attack defenses before attacking anything else, they come at a medium price point, and have medium-high health and damage.
Tier 3 Troops: Dragon, P.E.K.K.A, Valkerie and Golem
These troops are the strongest troops in the game, they are all so the most expensive and take alot of housing space.
These troops can be just as powerful as 15-25 tier 1 troops, though they will last just as long but will attack the same at all time
Heros: Barbarian King and Archer Queen
These arent regular troops, they can both be used in attack and defense and are imortal, though if they lose all health of their health bar they need to sleep before they can be used again these are extremely expensive to train
I also splitted the guide in 2 diffrent versions, one for people who wanna gain loot(BLUE), and one for people who wanna gain trophies (RED)
Loot Raid
The first thing you wanna do is to have the right troops with you, this should be a mix between tier 1 and tier 2 troops, since tier 3 is very expensive and you would not be able to get that much loot
First of all you will need some shields, this could be barbarians or giants, the next thing you will need is somethig to gather all of the loot nothing is better than goblins for this, so make sure u get some of those with you, wallbreakers are the key to get into bases so make sure also to take those with you.
Its your choice if you want to bring some archers or wizards with you, but if you dont you can bring more goblins or meat shields with you.
Then you have gathered your army the next thing to do is to find the right village to attack. Since you want loot you of course want to find a village with a good amount of loot, but before attacking you need to make sure where the loot is! the loot can be found in both storages and collectors, there are two ways to see where the loot is, if the amount of loot is an even number, it will be in the collectors if not it will be in the storages(of course there can be a bit in both).
You can also see a change in the graphics if you dont know what an even number is.
Then you are looking for loot you should not think about trophies, but its a bonus if you can get both trophies and loot.
Therefor if you can see the loot is in the collectors and the collectors is out of range of the defenses attack it!
Another thing you want to look for is where the mortar(s) and wizard tower(s) is placed, if you attack the storages with 20-30 goblins and the storage is next to a mortar or wizard tower, they could die in on single shot with their splash damege therefore use meat shields while destroying those storages!
Thats it for loot!
Trophy raid
The best troops for getting trophies is tier 2 and tier 3 troops, if you dont care about loot.
There are many diffrent ways to easy gain trophies or "cups" as people like to call them, one of the most known and best strategys is the "GoWiPe strategy" this attack incudes Golems Wizards and P.E.K.K.A's
another way to gain cups easy was the way Jorge Yao did, he used lightning spells on the air defenses and used dragons to destroy the rest, but i would anyway suggest you keep 5 spaces for archers, these archers should be used if you run past a farmer and the town hall is out of range of defenses, then destroy the town hall and end the battle, its an easy 4-12 trophies
I hope you found usefull tips in this guide or think there is some good stuff for people who are new to this game
