Death By Dragons (War Recap: Dragonblood vs Hawa Pawa)

Hey guys, I'm calling this post Death By Dragons.  We got absolutely annihilated this war by dragons on both the offensive and defensive end.  On offense we only managed to get mostly 1 star per attack with our dragon attacks while the enemy got mostly 3 stars per attack with their dragon attacks.  Consequently we have roughly used the same amount of attacks as the enemy yet they have double the score of us.  No es bueno mis amigos.

We're getting 1 star attacks with our dragons

Enemy is getting mostly 3 star attacks with their dragons

 

Enemy is getting mostly 3 star attacks with their dragons

So what does this mean?

• The enemy knows how and when to use dragons and spells better than we do.
• The enemy has better designed anti-air bases than we do.

What can we do going forward?

• We can refine our dragon attack strategies to turn them into guaranteed 2 & 3 star attacks.  Dragons are not recommended against TH9s, but on TH8s mass dragons should be mostly 3 star attacks.  Watch the below videos to see how it's done.
• Some bases are easier to attack with GoWiPe or Hogs.  Last war I got 6 stars on TH8 attacks using GoWiPe and Hogs.  The bases were strong anti-air so I gave my dragons a rest.
• We can work on maxing our anti-air defenses and base designs by upgrading our air defenses and air sweepers and ensuring that our bases are as difficult as possible for the enemy to 3 star.  Triangulate your air defenses so they are not near the edges and position your air sweeper to give your air defenses more time to go to work.

So with that said everyone please watch the below videos to see some great tips and attack strategies for TH8s.
