TH8 Shattered GoHo (TH: 8, Trophies: 2000-2600)(Instructions)

By:	Lokirivalle
Town Hall Level:	8
Trophy Level:	2000-2600

Introduction:	Works great against near to maxed out Town Hall 8s in war, a good substitute for Mass Dragons if you want to balance the consumption of Dark Elixir and Elixir. Trivia: Shattered is a term commonly used by war clans, which is using two Golems as a kill squad to take out Heroes and Clan Castle troops.

Army Composition:

Barbarian King must possess Iron Fist as the regenerated health is crucial when trying to stall and take out CC troops. Minimum Troop Housing Space Required: 225(Hog Riders in the Clan Castle) Minimum Spell Housing Space Required: (not specified) Troop and Spell Type Quantity Min Lvl Housing Archers 2 5 2 Goblins 2 5 2 Wall Breakers 4 5 8 Wizards 12 5 48 Hog Riders 21 4 105 Golems 2 2 60 Healing Spells 3 5 6 Poison Spells 1 Any 1 Totals - - 225+7 (No army notes)

Execution:

(No execution intro) Deploy the Golems in the same manner as GoWipe to attract most of the defenses in the area, use the Wizards to create the funnel to lead the Barbarian King inside. When the Clan Caslte troops start to come out, drop the Barbarian King, the remaining Wizards and the Wall Breakers to access deeper into the base and eliminate DGB threats. Send in one Hog Rider to a defense distracted by the Golems and potnetially the Barbarian King, make sure it is not in range of any inactive defense, otherwise skip this step. Deploy Hog Riders in mainly two ways. 1. Surgical Type of deployment where a few Hog Riders are sent per defense if the Double Giant Bomb threat hasn't been taken out. As Town Hall 8s can only get 3 Big Bombs then the risk is lower and is pretty much doable both ways. Reinforce Hog Riders as they take out defense by defense. 2. Mass Deployment Hog Riders sent into one or two main packs, done by a lot if the Double Giant Bomb threat has been removed. Drop Healing Spells within heavier concentrations of defenses. Drop the remaining troops to speed up cleaning process. Be sure to be able to take out at least the Clan Caslte troops, the opposing Barbarian King won't matter much as he is melee and needs to chase Hogs whereas a Queen can shoot at a range and is deadly. Use Poison Spell only on low hitpoint units as they'll stall your troops for a longer time, if the CC contains a Dragon save the Poison Spell for Skeleton Traps later.

Conclusion:	Most of the time, it results to a three star unless you screwed up.
