All dragon raid

I recommend the all dragon raid for only town hall 8 players, because the lava loonion attack is so much better for higher townhalls. If you are a townhall 8 player then this is probably the best air raid out there. In order to do this raid properly, you have to create a funnel, so that the dragons go to the center of the base and don't just go around it. First place one dragon The idea of the funnel is to place one dragon to attack one building and then let that dragon take out the building and then place another dragon on a building next to the building that was just destroyed but in the opposite way that the dragon is going.

blue- base
green- dragons that create the funnel
red- main attack

So basically the idea behind the funnel is to create a path for the dragons to get to the middle of the base, because if you just place down dragons randomly, then they will most likely just go all the way around the base until they get killed. With the funnel, you take out some of the outlying buildings, so that when you place down dragons afterwards, they want to go to the center because that is where the closest buildings are.

The best spell to use with dragons is the rage spell, although the heal spell could be useful too.

Air attacks

Things to look for when raiding with air units (in order of importance):

1. how many defenses against air are upgraded

2. Air defense placement

3. X-bows are pointed to ground, air or both

4. Archer Queen placement (outside is better so that you can lure her out away from defenses)

5. Clan castle placement

6. Wizard tower/archer tower placement

7. Town hall placement

8. Other buildings placement

what to look for when doing air raids

When doing air raids make sure you always have minions or something similar to take out the clan castle troops/archer queen/barbarian king. You can also just use a poison spell, lightning spell(s) or earthquake spell(s). To lure the clan castle troops, archer queen and/or the barbarian king just place down a troop and wait for them to come after it. Keep doing this until they are away from any defenses and then you can take them out with your troops/spells.

Barch (Barbarians and archers)/Bam (Barbarians, archers and minions)

Barch is mostly used for farming but can be used for trophy pushing in some cases. This is useful if you are planning on playing for a long period of time because it takes a very short time to train.
All you have to do to use barch is to place down your barbarians to distract the defenses and then place your archers to shoot at the building and to also shoot over walls.
I recommend that you use two camps to train barbarians and the other two camps to train archers. If you have three camps then use one camp to train barbarians and the other two to train archers and if you have two camps then use one to train barbarians.


This attack is the same exact thing as bam except with bam you have the dark barrack(s) training minions.
With bam either use one dark barracks to train minions or both depending on how many you have.
When attacking, do the same as barch and you can either send in the minions at the end away form air defenses or with the rest of your troops to act the same way as archers (they shoot over walls and barbs distract defenses for them).
This is personally my favorite attack because I am either not on clash at all or on it for a long period of time.

Lava Loonion

This attack is an all around good attack. It can be used for trophy pushing and going after loot in storages.
With the Lava loonion raid it is recommended that one dark barracks is used to train lava hounds, another one to train minions and all of your barracks train balloons.
When attacking, send in all of your lava hounds first and then immediately after send in all of your balloons, then lastly send in the minions. You might want to save a few minions for the end so you can get some outlying buildings and get the 50% or even the 100%.
