The Mass Hogs attacking strategy can easily three-star any Town Hall 8 as the focus of the Hog Riders is to clear all defensive buildings first, allowing other troops to clear outside buildings. This strategy aims to clear the enemy's clan castle troops using Wizards, Archers, or Dragons before using all Hog Riders.

The army composition of Town Hall 8 Mass Hogs attacking strategy is as follows:

• 35 Hog Riders
• 5 Wizards
• 5 Archers
• 3 Healing spells
• 1 Poison spell
• Hog Riders (clan castle)

Players may change the army composition based on the enemy's clan castle troops, clan castle placement, and base formation. It is advisable to replace all Wizards with Archers if the enemy's clan castle has Valkyries.

If the clan castle is placed in the middle of the base, then some Hog Riders can be used to trigger the clan castle troops. Similarly, if the Barbarian King is placed in one of the base corners then players should reduce the number of Hog Riders and replace them with Archers and Giants to take down the Barbarian King before implementing the Mass Hogs strategy.
