How to DragHo (Clash of Clans War attack strategy guide for TH8) With Dragons

As I'm still stuck at Town Hall 8 (nearly maxed), I've been experimenting some more with random attack strategies and happened to come across this one.

 The DragHo strategy is excellent for Dark Elixir Farming and trophy pushing alike, and with a minimal number of flaws, it seems to be the best Town Hall 8 Attack Strategy I've ever tried. It uses a fine mixture of Dark Elixir and Elixir resources and doesn't deplete your storages at all if you use it right.

So now, here's how to go about it : 

Stuff you'll need : 

8 Lvl 3+ Dragons

8 Lvl 4+ Hog Riders

2 Lvl 5+ Lightning Spells

1 Lvl 5+ Heal Spell / Rage Spell

1 Lvl 1+ Earthquake Spell

CC - Hog Riders Lvl 5 + Poison Spell [CC not required]

Execution : 

Start of with identifying the kind of base you are attacking. If the Air Defenses are near the sides, then there's no need to worry at all. even if they're near the center, you can pull it off easily. 

As a matter of fact, Air Defense positions rarely ever matter in this strategy, what matters more is the amount of resources you're getting. 

I use this strategy myself only for raiding where I take more than 2500 Dark Elixir in a single raid. It's great for saving up DE.

So to start off, you will drop the 2 lightning spells on the most centrally located Air Defense. If all Air Defenses are on the sides, take down the one closest to the Wizard Towers, as your hogs will have trouble with those.

(NOTE : This will work only on Lvl 6 and below Air Defenses, unless your Earthquake spell is Lvl 2)

As soon as the first Air Defense is down, drop all eight hogs on the Air Defense closest to maximum number of Archer Towers, the Heal Spell is for your hogs, heal them until they die. 

If you're lucky, the hogs will go ahead and take down the second Air Defense as well, in which case, you've practically won the raid.

This entire procedure shouldn't take more than 40 seconds.

Once you're through with that part, the real raid begins. Drop one dragon close to each standing Archer Tower, you should have maybe 3 dragons left, drop them to assist the first set you put down, and that's pretty much it. The raid is all yours.

It's a bit more tricky at Town Hall 9, with an extra Air Defense and higher level archer towers, but I've 3 starred many of those before with this strategy, ,so it should work.

Complications : 

The usual stuff, builder's huts in the corners, CC troops  etc. Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do about the builder's huts in the corners, except save two dragons and take out two of them opposite in direction to where the dragons are heading, to save time.

As for CC, only your CC can counter that. You should have a poison spell in there if this is a war attack. Besides that, CC doesn't really matter as they can't harm your dragons, just worry about your hogs.

Modifications :

If you're a really skilled clasher, try splitting the hogs into groups of four, one for each Air Defense, that's how I do it sometimes. If you can successfully pull it off, the raid is definitely complete...

You could also try increasing the number of hogs by four for one less dragon, to make the raid easier. It all comes down to if you're pushing trophies or saving DE.

That's all for this great strategy, try it out and if it works don't forget to share this post!

What's Music Mean To Me?

What does music mean to any of us? A passion? A hobby? A getaway? 

A sense of freedom?

Looking into the past year, I think all the different varieties of beautiful sounds I was lucky enough to hear made me what I am. 

Those pieces of music, all mixing up into each other, silently, never wavering, tried their best to turn me into what they were; Simply beautiful.

They play in the background, opening different windows in your soul, giving you feelings you never knew you had, making you feel light, above the rest of the world.

As I listen to music, I realize that my heart is beating in a sort of fascination, excitement, pleasurable anticipation, a waiting that never ends, for the perfect piece of music, until you realize that every one of them is perfect.

Just like humans, every piece of music is perfect in its own way, and these perfect pieces of music are what make you feel perfect as you listen to them, they make you feel innocent, guileless, like nothing could ever go wrong again.

I have a thought, a certainty rather, that listening to music is a feeling that's incredibly close to being with GOD. Maybe that's why people praise GOD with music, opening doors for GOD to enter their hearts, to purify them completely.

Here's the music I was listening to as I wrote out this article, listen, enjoy, and share it for the good of others as well...

Reality Scares

Hey guys this is a poem about...well life in itself. Sometimes it can all be a bit overwhelming and at times like that I think all we can do is keep trying.

try to be good, try to succeed, try to be amazing.

we don't need to be terrified because someday we will touch the sky. :)

Reality Scares

Do you always catch yourself staring at the stars?

Because you don't know how to hide those scars?

Somehow you are stuck where you are

And the finish line is still pretty far.

You scream, you push

It's all just a rush.

You just want to cross that bridge

Lunge and jump off that ledge

But what do you do?

Where do you go?

Do you look upto the skies

Or down to the lies?

Is it easier to fake it

Or braver to face it?

It's terrifying to be lost

But it's fearsome to be real!

The world's a big place,

With big people who always ace

I'm a little shy, a little quiet

Maybe I'm too polite?

Or maybe I'm too bright?

All I know is it's going to be a fight,

A fight between me and I,

Between staying put and touching the sky.

Until it's time for me to succeed,

Time for me to take the lead.

A Smile (Poem)

She locked herself in, screaming and crying,

And the thunderstorm raged on outside,

As he tried to reason with her,

To just open the door.

Even so she kept on weeping,

As the rain fell harder,

But he wouldn't give up on her,

He kept knocking on her heart's door,

Soaking, drenched in the rain, until finally,

Something he said made her heart melt,

And the rain was gentle till just a drizzle,

And she opened the door just a little,

A smile and a rainbow,

Both worth waiting for...

That Level Again - Insane Brain Bending Game!

Here's a game that's a bit "different", where instead of progressing in levels, you play pretty much the same level, over and over again (64 times!).

There's a guy, he has to make it to the other end of a room, and has to press a red button on the way, easy enough? But what happens then?

This game truly has NO boundaries at all! It can change the controls from on-screen to motion based, and you'd have no way of knowing except for a small hint in the title of each level. 

For example - [DON'T READ IF YOU MIND SPOILERS] 

In one of the levels, the title is "Save Your Soul", which means that you have to go to the red button, stand on it, and then tap out the morse code for SOS on the screen, crazy right?

Another great one is where the title goes "Like on a Plane". To solve the level you just have to turn on Airplane Mode on your device! 

To be honest, this game is guaranteed to fry your brain, to a certain limit, and keep you occupied during those drab moments in life.

Additionally, if you hate leaving stuff unfinished, every level also has a hint available, if you watch an Ad for it. 

The game's size is only about 14 MB, surprisingly small, so go ahead and blow your mind as well!

How To Get Rid Of Permanent Marker Ink (With Just Another Marker!)

I don't know how many of you guys have been in this situation: 

You're in your class and you see a whiteboard, and next to it are a bunch of markers... I'm telling you not to touch the board, but hell, you go ahead and write something on it.

 Hmmmm... all of a sudden, the smell of the ink, the thickness of the writing blah blah blah makes you look at what type of marker it is, and it says 'Permanent Marker for CDs, cardboard surfaces etc.'!

(I told you not to touch it...)

Now, all you've got in this room is a bunch of other markers, a desk, maybe a cloth or a whiteboard eraser and a few chairs, all unhelpful in this crucial moment of trying to save yourself from the wrath of your teachers, right? Left!

Solution:

What you think you need right now is a perfume bottle, glass cleaner, anything with 'Spirit' (Acetone) in it, but there isn't any around, or is there? The thing is, your regular bunch of white board markers all have some of it in them, which makes them easy to be wiped off the board with a dry cloth.

 So, it's as simple as scribbling over what you just wrote with permanent marker and wiping it off with anything at all!

I got this when my sister and I were sitting around, waiting fro  class to begin in the classroom and she drew on the board, and we found ourselves in the same situation. She came up with the marker idea though and saved our... yeah.

So that's what I've got for now,it's highly unlikely that you stumbled upon this post when you're actually in a situation like this but I hope this idea can be of help to you at some point of time, (if it does, I told you not to touch it!).

Thanks for reading, don't forget to share this incredibly helpful post (even if I say so myself). You just might save someone else's donkey.

Have fun and Be Random!
