Attack Strategies in Clan Wars!

Spells!

1.Lightning- You can zap away Clan Castle Troops with ease,shove them aside early in the raid before they effect the raid and ruin your 3 star and have you bite the 0 star dust.
2.Rage- Makes your flock of troops into a enraged flock of destruction.
3.Jump- Saves your wall breaker lives. Main draw back is that it's expensive and for higher ranks.
4.Heal - Great for all troops that will be slowed by walls, especially useful for hog attack.
5.Freeze- For higher ranks, expensive. Best use is to Freeze Inferno Towers.

Strategies! 

GoGHWWA - Giant + Healer + Wizards + Wall Breakers + Archers
Use Archers to lure CC troops. Have Healers heal Giants after Air Defense is down, heal Giants in the process of destroying the Air Defense using a heal spell or rush it using rage spell.Drop Healer and spam Wizards behind the giant.
Spells: Use lightning,heal and rage spells,maybe jump?

GoWiWI - Golems + Witches + Wizards + Wall Breakers.
High rank attack!  Take out CC troops,heroes if you can,using Witches to keep them busy, if no use them for raid.  Use Golems to take the damage,while Wizards and maybe Witches clean the base, have Wall Breakers break into the center of the base. Use your heroes to get to the center and take out the TH. This attack is meant for 2 starring and most likely will not 3 star a TH 10.
Spells: Use freeze, rage,and lightning.

GoWiPE - Golems + Wizards + PEKKA + Wall Breakers
Resonable lvl 5 attack, cheaper compared to GoWiWi. Same thing as the GoWiWi pretty much,but treat PEKKA as extra heroes.Also built for 2 stars on TH 10 bases.
Spells: Use freeze, rage,and lightning.

All Dragons
Explains itself.Try to take out Air Defenses and maybe Inferno Towers and it's a rather easy 3 star usually.
Spells: use all rage or some lightning to take out Clan Castle troops or Air Defense.

Balloonian - Balloons + Minions
All air raid.Again,take out Air Defenses and Inferno Towers.Have Minions lure Clan Castle Troops then use lightning to destroy them Make sure Balloons go first then Minions.Barbarian king cannot attack air units.
Spells: rage,maybe freeze or heal spells.

War Base Design

Please post  your thoughts regarding war base design. What works and what doesn't work and why.

The base that Alex designed is great. During a war he was attached (7) times and only gave up (1) star. Fantastic!

During a war you do not lose resources (gold/elixir/dark elixir), think about pushing these outside your walls. Inside your walls have gaps (no larger than 2X wide) between buildings and defenses. A spread-out base design will slow the attached and defend effectively against hog and dragon attacks. Place big bombs and jump traps inside inside the gaps to stop hogs.

Air Defenses should be behind one or two walls inside your base. Possibly in the inner ring with your clan castle. This is very effective against dragons, balloons and minions.

Maximus Pireus - Ototronz Army - LV8 base

Interesting level 8 base with lots of gaps between defenses.
Would you attack this base?
