Standard Attacks:
The following attacks below are what we call "must-know" attacks. These are your basic fundamental attacks that all players learn before all other and more complex attacks. Players in the TH levels 3-8 should be working on developing these attacks while upgrading their bases towards TH levels 9-10. TH 3-6 should focus on learning how to use the Giant-Barch (Giants, Barbs and Archers) attack method. TH 7 players should be learning Dragon attacks, while beginning to practice using Hogs (TH 7 war attacks are highly effective when Dragons are used). TH 8 is where things start to get interesting. Prior to the most recent few updates, TH 7-8 players were able to use all dragon attacks in war to win 3 stars on most attacks. However, now that air defenses are much stronger and base designs are becoming more sophisticated, TH 8 players are beginning to use more complex troop compositions, such as GoWiPe and GoHog. TH 8 players are also begging to combine together two or more attack methods, creating what is known has hybrid attacks (hybrid attacks become more common the further you develop in the game). A good example of this is a highly effective TH 8 and TH 9 attack called GoHoWiPe. This attack uses methods from both the GoWiPe and GoHog attacks. (I call these attacks "fundamental" because certain techniques used in them are also used in more complicated hybrid attacks later on. For example, funneling and destroying CC troops along with heroes is vital to the success in 90% of all hybrid-surgical attacks. Funneling is first learned at the TH 8 level when a player uses the GoWiPe attack. Destroying CC troops is also important for hog attacks at the TH 8 level. Thus, this is why I choose to call these attacks basic/standard fundamental attacks, simply because learning them early is laying down a foundation for success later on.
