I Stole this(copied) from the Ketkat clan page, please feel free to add more things to this thread
People are always asking, what troops should I use for war? Here are some recommendations to get 3 star attacks. I am providing links to videos and guides about how to do these.
Please post your own favorites as well!
Town hall 5:
Please see alberta's guide on town hall 5. docs.google.com/presentation/d/1ZuIILQXMBZocINqvW6CRItI9zUrDsmmb0yGYoYGVL6o/edit
Town hall 6 and below:
At this level probably best options is giant/healer/wiz/wb. Key is to clear the clan castle troops. Look out for high level valkyries in the war cc because they can ruin your attack. Max loons or (level 4 if you are in greeentea ketkat or level 5 in main) hogs are great in the cc so ask for these.
Town hall 7:
As a new TH7 you should focus on getting your army camps maxed, then unlocking dragons, then getting them to level 2. Early in TH7 you can continue the same attacks as at TH6 or below, but you want to get to all dragons. The TH7 dragon strategy is simple: Use 3 lightning spells to kill an air defense, then release dragons in a spread out manner on the side closest to the remaining air defense. This is virtually guaranteed to get 3 stars on any TH7 and also on some early TH8 too.
Town hall 8:
At early TH8 you should get your dragons upgraded to level 3. This will let you 3 star any early TH8 and some max TH8. This strategy becomes a little weaker later in TH8 since you will start seeing a lot of bases with 3xlevel 6 air defenses. You should NEVER be using giant based attacks at TH8.
There are four main variations on the dragon attack. Try to learn them all.
1. 105 (10 drag 5 max loons in cc, 2 Rage one heal). Works well against bases where AD are tightly clustered in the center:

2. 11 light (10 drag one drag in cc). Works well when 2 of 3 AD are in center. forum.supercell.net/showthread.php/466945-CW-Tactics-TH8-11-Light-Dragon-Attack-Style?highlight=wryhorn
3. 813 (8 drag, 8 level 5 loons, 5 max loons in cc). Works well against bases with spread out air defenses when none are clustered. forum.supercell.net/showthread.php/448871-CW-Tactics-TH8-813-Dragoon-Attack-Style?highlight=wryhorn
4. Dragons with hog snipe style. When one or more of the air defenses is very exposed on the outside. forum.supercell.net/showthread.php/474450-CW-Tactics-TH8-Dragon-Snipe-Attack-Style?highlight=wryhorn
TH8 hogs: You really want to have level 4 hogs before using this (level 3 hogs has too mainly fails against TH8 imo). It works well against bases which are very tightly packed and when the giant bombs are obvious. Here is a great guide: www.youtube.com/watch?v=29XjUFmmdik
TH8 gowipe: This strategy only works well against bases that are very spread out. IMO this is weaker against most bases but will do well against those very spread out bases which are annoying for hogs and dragons. Here is a decent guide: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6URcbB-Nhxs
Town hall 9:
At TH9 war gets much more complex - you can't just expect to 3 star any base with mass drag anymore. Mass dragons won't work, anything involving giants won't work. There are many different strategies which work against different types of bases. Most strategies require some combination of hogs, loons, lavas, golems, wizards and witches, so try to get these troops upgraded to max asap (yes, this takes a ton of dark elixir and time). So here are the main 3 star attacks.
Gowiwi: This only gets 3 stars against bases that are very spread out or that have low level walls. Works better with high level golems and lvl 2 witches. Against high level TH9 bases with high level walls and lots of compartments, this will be 1-2 stars. Here is a guide: www.youtube.com/watch?v=m72NtxAE_tQ
Gowipe / Gowiwipe: OK these are NOT 3 star strategies against most TH9. In my experience it is strictly inferior to Gowiwi for getting 3 stars against those spread out bases. It is good against TH10 for getting a 2 star though.
Penta laloon: 5 lava hounds, 20 loons. Requires max loons and lvl 2 lava hounds. This works well against bases where the air defenses are lower level, and especially when all defenses are in range of air defense. Here are a couple guides:

Shattered laloon aka Golaloon: This works well against bases where two air defenses and the queen are closely clustered together, basically your goal is to take out 2 air defenses, the queen, and the cc troops with a strike force composed of 1-2 golems, some wizards, and a kill squad in the cc. This just leaves 2 air defenses for your remaining lava hounds and loons to take out. The catch with this strategy is that it does require high level heroes to pull off since they are doing most of the work (level 15+). Here are some guides:

Classic lavaloonion aka laloon: Works well against bases where the air defenses are not in range of each other. This attack requires max loons and level 2 lava hounds. Here is a nice guide.

Holowiwi: Works well against bases where all 4 air defenses are tightly clustered in the center. Requires level 5 hogs, lvl 6 loons, and level 2 witches.

Goho: Works well against tightly packed bases with lots of compartments - notice how this is the opposite of Gowiwi? Requires level 5 hogs and preferably higher level golems. Here is a nice guide: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlZ3Vg9rYjM
Gohowiwi: Requires level 5 hogs, level 2 witches, and preferably high level golems. Thanks to omair for sharing this strategy!
