So I decided to raid some Level 8 Battlegrounds and post the results. It is difficult to know how much of each unit to send so I decided trial and error would be best. I couldn't find any strategies online so I figured I would make this one and players could just post their own strategies as comments.
So the first seven Raid attempts on Level 8 Battlegrounds were successful. These included Orcish Altars, Orcish Encampments and Catacombs. The last one listed here was a successful raid on a Level 9 Catacomb Battleground.
Experience: With each successful Raid I received 50 - 60 experience, depending on the amount of enemy units killed.
Spoils of War: There is a chance to gain resources/units as Spoils of War each time you Raid a battleground. In all eight of my attempts combined I gained around 10,000 total resources, 2 Wyverns, 50 Pikemen, 12 Dwarves, 4 Necromancers and 49 Silent Ones (I gained 49 Silent Ones on one Raid).
Losses: Throughout my 8 Raid attempts I lost 1 Wyvern, 4 Knights, 14 Wraiths, 208 Pikemen and 2 Paladins.
These are the eight separate Raid results:

Analysis: In about half of my Raid attempts I received some kind of Spoils of War. The best units I received were 2x Wyverns, 4x Necromancers and 49x Silent Ones (All on separate Raid attempts). I lost some Knights and a Wyvern I probably should not have sent. The reason for this is that they are harder to come by then Pikeman. They either cost Sapphire from the Black Market or you have to wait until you get enough scrolls to research their specific Lost Art. In addition to this, you only will lose around 10 more Pikemen at the cost of not sending Dragons, Wyverns, Knights, Necromancers etc..
My Current Strategy: Only send Offensive units that you can train to battlegrounds (Eg. Pikemen, Wraiths). Risk these units for a chance at gaining more powerful units from Spoils of War. As you continue to build up your army you can Raid higher level players for more resources. Use these resources to continue building lower level units in order to raid Battlegrounds.
I currently have 1x Dragon, 2x Wyverns, 5x Necromancers and I've only been using this strategy for a few days now. Note: I bought the Dragon with the Sapphire I earned from Feats of Valor, Offers, etc.
Please comment below with your questions, results/strategies for raiding battlegrounds. I will probably write an article on Defending battlegrounds as well if this turns out to be useful for other Stormfall players. Thanks for reading!
