Easy TH8 armies — no Clan Castle needed

Simple plans that work with just your own army. Good for farming, Legend League and wars when nobody donates.

    air · easy · no CC

    Put all 7 Lightning on the Air Defenses, drop the King on one edge to funnel, then line all 10 Dragons up behind him and bring the Queen in with them. Keep the Dragons moving toward the core so they do not stall on outside buildings.

    Mass Hog Riders

    ground · easy · no CC

    Pull the Clan Castle with an Archer and funnel an edge with the King, then drop the Golem first to soak the hits and send all 26 Hog Riders in one tight pack right behind it with the Queen. Wall Breakers open the first walls, Rage and Heal go on the Hogs at the core, and Poison the Clan Castle troops if they come out.
