Since the latest update, I'm curious what your most effective 3 star strategy is in war? I know it can depend on the base, but what do you have the most success with overall?
Is anything better than GoVaHo now? Typically 2 Golems, 6-8 Wiz, 6-10 Valks, 14-18 Hogs, 4 wbs, 3 heal, 1 jump, 2 poison (or instead of jump/poison, 4 EQ)
Anyone find that air attacks are better such as GoLaLoon? Maybe some still find GoHo is best? Are some still using Queen walk effectively?
any opinions out there?
Before the 30'seconds was removed Ida said goho by far. That 30 seconds really made a difference in the post attack cleanup. Still if u save a few wiz cleanup isn't so bad. GoHo or GoVaWi for TH9 in my opinion
I have a few opinions on this attack. Before the last update I would say GoHo hands down. GoHo has became a bit more tricky but if you were used to using it before 3 updates ago then you should be solid. That being said I run 3 attacks now on 3 different TH9's. On my max th9 I have started using different types of GoVaHo, and I have started a new series of videos on them. On my new Th9 I run low level Shattered GoHo, and on my defenseless I run Queen POP and Queen POP only.
I would say Queen POP is where every new TH9 should start. You can 3 star a wide verity of max bases without many upgrades. Check out the thread on it here http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...STAR-MAX-bases
Here are a few videos too in case you haven't seen it.

Hope that helps sir. Good luck!
GoVaHo, and other Valk variations are hands down the strongest attack strategies at TH9.

Lower players still make up a large portion of TH9, and with minimal upgrades I still find low level GoHo effective. Of course Queen POP has still been widely effective over all the skill sets.
I still GOHO for 3 stars all day regardless of time constraints. with the speed of the valks they can help so i have begun bringing 3 max valks in my cc and they really help core the base.
On my th9 alt (who is a new-mid th9) i can 3 star almost any base within +/-3 of my range with GoHo.
Our other top th9 players seem to be finding success with GoVaHo
I would easily say GoVaHo and GoHo are the best th9 strats for most base types.
Just my opinion though.
I agree, although I lean towards GoVaHo, as it gets you further into the base. Mass valks does well too at the momentQuote:

Further, GoVaHo can be utterly brutal. I can direct you to a clan that can execute that attack so well, they'd be hard pressed to miss on a TH9. GoVaHo is definitely one of the strongest TH9 war attacks and can be utterly brutal in the hands of someone that knows what they are doing. Not only did the aforementioned clan remind me/my clan of that, but, especially after watching them use it, we dust it off from time to time and just smile... It was a nice reminder of an attack we moved away from for unsound reasons
I concede to this point... but in my experience, I've had far more 3 stars with bowlers compared to valks since th8... to be fair i don't really like valks so I'm possibly biased...Quote:

In the end, it depends on the attacker i guess, but I'll pick bowlers all weekend long... if it's restricted to ground only
I'd like to visit this clan you speak of, dont mind a goboho v govaho showdown
To date, myself/clan have had more success with bowlers than valks as well. If you can funnel bowlers, I'll take them almost every single time too. Note the operative, "if" there though. They are insanely harder to funnel than valks (& I'm utterly convinced, at some point, their AI was messed with from earlier versions of them...), easily the hardest troop to funnel in my/our mind.Quote:

In terms of which attack is better...meh---splitting hairs in my mind. Both are/can be brutal.
As far as the clan I was referring to, I can PM you their name. They are, "closed" though and I have no association to them. If you were able to join them/they were willing, I'd be delighted to see them actually miss using GoVaHo, especially if they get a couple whacks at it. That's not a shot, I/we were impressed by them. I only wish I was as good at the attack as they are/were & I/we are very good with hogs at TH9. It isn't often that I like watching our TH9 war bases go down, but that was one of the exceptions where I was watching saying, "Damn, these guys know what the hell they are doing." We knew it was going to be tough---they have like 88% win rate over ~550 wars.
