I'm sure that there are TONS of ways of attacking but I'm just going to go over the ones I know. It depends on what you want, resources or trophies.
If u want the trophies, one way to attack is to find a village with an unprotected Town Hall and destroy it then "end battle". You may have to search awhile to find a village like this. This results with one (1) star and with a few trophies. I personally hate it when I gain trophies, but to do this only Archers and Barbarians are enough. The best way that I know is to create an effective mix and try to completely destroy the enemy's village. Personally, I use 11 Giants(lvl 3), 45 Archers(lvl 3), 25 Goblins(lvl 3), 5(lvl 2) wallbreakers(I don't always use them all), and sometimes for fun some wizards or balloons, now I have a level 6 Town Hall. With this mix I win about 80% of the time.
But I also use this mix for farming, but with 35 archers and 40 goblins. Even if many tend just to use goblins, archers and wallbreakers, I add the giants to take out the nasty mortars and wizard towers that can 2-shot-kill your troops.
What to attack? Well you have about 30 seconds to analyse your enemy's base before you attack it or move to the next one. Key aspects to notice, where is the money? Look at the gold mines and gold storage closely to see where is the most gold, sometimes the storages are almost empty and the mines full. And always keep an eye out for mortars and wizard tower, they are anti-plunder defenses. Elixirs? Well yeah some of that is nice too, not my main focus but it's the same principle, look at storages and extractors.
To not earn too many stars I sometimes "end battle" before my army takes out the enemy Town Hall. I also lower my trophy count when I see I went to far. I just enter a battle with just goblins, if I can steal some resources then I deploy them, if the enemy is too well guarded then I just spawn 1 goblin and then surrender, and keep doing that 5-6 times, depends.
Hope this was useful and you understand it. If you have questions just post them in comments or when you catch me in the game chat. Peace
