I have really not had any trouble with the queen kill. I actually noticed the less I focus on her the smoother I am. As long as you path over her and rage around her, she should die. Your loons and hounds need to be moving together as well so pups have some sage areas to do their work. Clear the defenses quickly so they doing shoot all the pups before they attack the queen.Quote:

That being said, I cannot get this attack to work for me. I end up with the AQ still alive or something else knocking down my loons. It's ridiculously frustrating, as I really want to use this!
I think it's related to poor loon pathing, but I'm pushing surgical approaches with 2-3 loons trying to get to the ADs to free up the hounds. I'm kind of at a loss, but am still trying it. Any tips on pathing might be useful, at least for me. Thanks for all you do and your availability.
Is the queen too far away from an AD here for this to work.

The biggest problem I see is that people get their hounds too deep into the base and loons take too long for them to catch up. I will have some videos coming out that further show this issue. To fix this usually requires sending the loons from as far from the defense range as possible, making sure you send them in an order that they will all reach the base usually at the same time. Then when they get close to the base you send the hounds in, and since they fly fast you can make sure they reach inside the base around the same time. The one thing you want to do is make sure the hounds are the objects that the Queen will focus on first. Also sending each hound at a different angle can make sure that you cover a wide range of trap spots and get the defenses focusing on the hounds first not the loons.Quote:

Also doing a surgical drop around so each defense has loons headed at them is key. The base seems weak but will take some work. Make sure to as much defense fire focused on your hounds and use spells wisely.Quote:

Just tried this attack out for the first time in war, used it for both attacks against their #1 and #3. Both maxed out TH9s defensively. First attack I choked big time and forgot to use the cc hound. Ended in a 1 star. Can't really expect much more than that with that big of a blunder but oh well.
Second attack though was a crushing 3 star in under 2 mins. Guy had a hound in his cc so that was nice. Didn't even need my heroes at all until the end, and I still would have threed it even if I didn't drop them at all. It was fun watching the queen die in 5 seconds to all the pups.
Really liking the attack so far, and I'm excited to keep practicing with it in future wars. Thanks for the videos man.

This has been around awhile but you take the time to explain it much more than previous threads/videos I have seen
Tried this strategy for the first time in last war and got 3 stars!!! Though 3rd and 4th lava were released much slower than anticipated but job still get done.
This strategy is not as fast paced as GOHO so there is more control in the attack.
Thanks Casts for the sharing!!!
After I came up with this strategy and it tested out better than I had even originally hoped, I knew I was on to something. I am happy to share it with the community and I love to hear all these success stories.Quote:

I know this attack is still fairly unknown, I just need to figure out how to get it out to more players. I am sure it would help alot of young th9s and even higher th9s that are having trouble with war attacks.
Thank you again for the feedback and I hope you keep having success with the attack. Don't be afraid to swap out a few troops for clean up troops if you have clean up issues.
