The following attack strategies have proven to be the most effective in war and are the ones advocated by our clan. For most strategies the objective is to get 3 stars. However, for some 2 stars is the goal and 3 stars is a bonus. These 2 star strategies are used in specific situations and are always coordinated by a Co-leader. During war, if you want to use an attack strategy that is not listed below, please speak to a Co-leader in clan chat.
Our strategies are divided by the Town Hall level of the ATTACKER. To access the guides for your town hall, select the appropriate level below. Note that attack strategies for each town hall level may be similar but given different army compositions, the strategies may vary. Therefore, be sure to review the appropriate guide for your level. As well, no one strategy works on every base. It is important to understand not just how to use a strategy, but when and on which bases.
One further note... the two most effective elite level attacks in the game are Surgical GoHo and GoLaLoon. Both have 3 primary versions depending on the number of golems used. These two attacks and their variations are being used the "go-to" attacks by the best players in the game at TH9 and above. However, the game changes as players adapt their bases to better defend against common attacks and when Supercell releases updates. The recent introduction of a level 5 dragon, a second air sweeper and dark elixir spells will likely have a dramatic effect on attack strategies. So please don't learn one attack below and simply stick to it because it worked for you at one point. To be a good attacker you must adapt as the game changes.

After reviewing the attack guides here on this site, you can find even further videos of actual 3 star war attacks using the above strategies at the 3 Star Clan Wars site here. Be careful however as this is not a curated site and therefore contains a lot of junk and one-off attacks that were successful either because the attacker was lucky or the specifics of the enemy base were suited to the attack. In general, the strategies above are the highest percentage attacks and you should master them before using anything else.
