I agree that sometimes Dragons are overrated defenders. They wreck farming troops, that's for sure, but in war they don't defend well against other Dragons.

Valkyries are great in low-level defense but when attackers start bringing Archers and Wizards to war (TH7+) and actually learn to spread them out they are not that great of a defender.

You can also use a Wall Breaker to lure out Clan Castles but it's not that easy to pull it off.

I prefer mostly Archers and Wizards in CCs, though maxed Loons work fine against ground attacks too.
