Everyone want's to win in clan war's and the key to win it are getting 3 stars in attacks. In low level players and those with Town Hall 6 and below are mostly common attacks with ground troops like giants and wizards, but the attack strategy changes and at Town Hall level 7 & 8 people mostly attack with air troops like dragons. Dragons are really powerful troops and can be risked only form air defenses, making the a bit superior in clan war. Here is a tutorial on how to attack with dragons in clan wars.
When attacking with dragons there are a few pros and cons about it :
Pros about dragons in clan wars :
- They don't cost any dark elixir.
- Walls aren't problem for them.
- Have good health and damage.
- Can 3 star most of Town Hall level 7 and 8 bases.
Cons about dragons in clan wars :
- They are expensive
- Time to train them it's high.
- Are highly vulnerable to air defense.
- Need a bit of practice.
Here are some tips and tricks to use when attacking with dragons in clan wars.
1. Use the scout option on the preparation day before war.
Before the war you have 24 hours to prepare for it, so use the scout option wisely. Search for an oponente that you can get max stars out of him. Below are some examples of which bases you should attack.
Air Defenses in this base layout are really close so if you concentrate
your dragons to go straight in the center then you have a good chance to
take those Air Defenses down.
In this base Air Defenses are spread and for a
triangle formation making it risky for your dragons
because there is a high chance that
they will get exterminated before reaching the
center of the base.
2. Make the right army composition
If you are Town Hall level 7 or 8 then I assume you have 200 army spaces available. If you don't then make sure to upgrade as soon as possible. There are 2 army compositions.
First army composition :
- 5 Barbarians
- 15 Archers
- 9 Dragons
- 1 Dragon in Clan Castle (if you have level 4 Clan Castle then request 1 Dragon and 5 Archers)
- 3 Rage Spells
- Barbarian King
Second army composition :
- 10 Dragons
- 3 Rage Spells
- 1 Dragon in Clan Castle (if you have level 4 Clan Castle then request 1 Dragon and 5 Archers)
- Barbarian King
3. Take out defense troops in opponents Clan Castle
Before attacking in clan wars make sure to check if the opponent has any troops on Clan Castle, since they can make quite a big trouble and distraction. If you have the first army composition then simply follow these step in order to terminate those defense troops.
Place one or two barbarians in a place where is covered by
the range of the Clan Castle.
When all the troops are out place a barbarian in
the nearest corner of the base.
Make sure the troops are going to the
selected corner of the base by placing barbarians.
When Clan Castle troops reach the certain corner
place archers and Barbarian King if you want
around them to make a trap and kill them.
4. Start the attack with Dragons
After taking out the Clan Castle troops you can start the actual attack with your Dragons. Don't deploy all of them in one place because they will be very vulnerable and will destroy one building at a time, but instead place them in a line so they aim at the buildings next to each other. This way they will deal more damage and destroy more buildings at a time. Don't forget to deploy your Clan Castle with the Dragon inside.
Deploy Dragons in a line in order to destroy buildings faster
and be less vulnerable against defenses.
5. Use the spells
After deploying Dragons don't freak out and place rage spells instantly, but instead wait for the Dragons to destroy at least a line of buildings and when they reach out near the Air Defenses the place a Rage Spells in front of them so when they reach the spell ring they'll destroy Air Defenses faster.
Deploy Rage Spells near Air Defenses so the
Dragon takes them out easier.
Final conclusion about attacking with Dragons
So i hope you understood how to make your best attack with Dragons, now all you need to do is practice and in a while you can 3 start a Town Hall 7, 8 or even 9 easily. The key to success is to upgrade your Dragons and Rage Spells as soon as possible.
