AQ is very exposed, take her out with your king. Lure (king might get that too), kill, then hogs. Good luck!Quote:

That said there's nothing wrong with hogs on this base :bad AQ placement and those scary looking empty spaces don't matter much with surgical -my guess is based off this guys walls the GB are lvl2 or3 so your studly lvl5 hogs and lvl6 heal shouldn't have much trouble.Quote:

You barely even need a kill squad here, meaning I'm not sure you couldn't just build an army of overwhelmingly hogs and wiz, as the AQ is toast with your BK.
Ultimately, however, might as well bring at least 1, if not 2 (max Golem in CC, and one of your L1 golem). No less than 30 hogs.
Seldom, if ever, use GoTurd, err, GoWiPe, unless you are satisfied with 2* attacks.
Ignore the "no kill squad' as the purpose of kill squad is not only to kill queen. It's to kill cc and set off any possible double giant bomb places.
2 golems 4 wb 8 wiz heroes = kill squad
Rest hogs. A couple archers for clear up
Get one golem to go archer tower - mortar - air defence (while setting off one giant bomb)
Hogs u need to plan path to set one bomb off the other side or avoid them completely
Hope this helps
People worry way too much about DGBs. If you look at this base all the bomb spots will result in glancing blows if they are even triggered and if this guy even put doubles in. I mean if you intended to do two finger drop you would have to do some clearing, but with surgical even if his dgb gets you your looking at 3-6 hogs(I'm pretty sure its teslas around th and one double below southwest AD)Quote:

If this were a better base with a harder lure and dgb spots that looked threatening I wouldn't leave the golems at home even with an easy queen kill but on this thing...no.
Not that you couldn't three star this base with a GoHo(probably pretty easily), just hogs would be even easier.
And even less often will You want to bring dragons on a 9.. you spend enough time here, how do you have level 4 dragons and level 1 golems??Quote:

No, actually, one should ignore this.Quote:

Yes, you certainly need to deal with the CC as a high priority on a hog run, but you can easily pull the CC on most bases, this one included and be done with it. You sure as hell don't necessarily need a KS to destroy a CC. People do it all the time on TH8 hog runs or Penta attacks at TH9 & this base appears to have the elements of exactly that.
Hell, a TH8 could likely give this base a run for it's $$$, to say nothing about a TH9 with 220 troop space and L5 hogs.
Save for L1 xbows, the defenses are all max TH8 defenses or less, the AQ is sitting on the outside, where you can distract ~2 defenses when you drop your BK to get her and a surgical hog attack doesn't really care about DGB.
As a matter of fact, the more I think about it, the more I believe a mass hog attack WOULD be the best way to attack this base. That base will not stop a surgical hog attack with ~42 L5 hogs, L6 hogs coming out of the CC, 4 heals, and an AQ...
Well each to their own methods. I speak as a experienced clasher with about 1200 stars to my name.
I'm sure either way would 3 a base like this. Mass of hogs is not good practice in my eyes for when you come to better designs
Thanks for your resume. :smirk::smirk:Quote:

Overwhelmingly, attacks should be tailored to the base you are attacking, which is what I was attempting to recommend here.
One does not design attachk strategiesthat work on better base designs, one tailors his attack strategy to the base. This base calls for a simple mass hogsQuote:
