Balloons upgrade, Unlock Baby Dragon, Upgrade DE troops Upgrade Decision

Hey guys. It's getting a bit harder to decide what to upgrade the higher I go and the better I get at TH9.

I know there are plenty of very helpful Upgrade Threads out there but this is more specific and based more on player experiences.Also, Elixir and DE is not a concern.

So, my question is,
which upgrade will have a bigger impact on any and all WAR attacks. In other words,from one level to another, based on my remaining troop/spell level, will be the most likely to be a noticeable game changer.
As many opinions or experiences are welcomed and appreciated.
Thanks mates.

Balloons: LVL 5 to 6
Unlock Baby Dragon
Lava Hound : LVL 1 to 2
Minion: LVL 4 to 5
HASTE: 1to 2
Earthquake: 2 to 3
Poison LVL 2 to 3
Again, thank you.

To me it looks like you already have upgraded de barracks so I would go for unlocking baby dragon, 2 reasons why, it's the cheapest upgrade from the list and it gives you another troop to play round with.

Glad to hear some1 is getting better at th9 I'm 2 months in and my farming is sorted but my war is atrocious lately

Loon upgrade. The hounds are mostly pointless without the loons. Minions are not really war troops - just the odd one to funnel, and level probably not important even then. Haste is some use... only IF you have upgraded loons. EQ is totally pointless - there is no need to upgrade it further, ever. Poison doesn't seem to make a huge difference to me. Sure it's worth upgrading one day, but level 2 is perfectly usable.

And then baby dragon... again it's mainly a funneling troop. It has uses, but they are usually secondary to the main attack. Baby and hound would be my choices after the loons though.

It matters what type of attack that you want to do, if your aiming for air attacks then i would have to say upgrade your loons. Otherwise I'd say go upgrade your haste for better ground attacks or baby dragon because if you use it correctly with ground troops it is quite helpful.

Baby is a great funnel and support troop.

Loon -> Hound -> Haste opens up some very powerful, LaLoon and GoLaLoon attacks.

id do them in that order followed by baby 2, poison, minion, eq

i agree loons are better now with the new update so u should upgrade them

Hey guys, thank you for the insight. Very helpful. I ended up Maxing my loons, Hounds to Lvl 2, and will upgrade Haste next. I mainly focus on Ground attacks. GOVAHO variations. But, I need to perfect the Lavaloon 3 star War attack. I am finding it harder than I thought. I know u take out CC,QUEEN and AD with Hounds, followed by 9 or 10 loons behind raged. But, I still find my Loons getting taken out before I can clear bases yet.

Lavaloon is not good for war. Other Lavaloon-Hybrid attacks are more preferred, such as GoLaLoon, PentaLoon (Yes, basically Lavaloon but with 5 Hounds), etc. One of the best tips is to place the Hounds and then most of the loons quickly, placing your Haste and Rage where the loons are about to reach, not on the Loons themselves. Keep about 1-3 loons just in case if you need to get rid of the Archer Tower in the corner sniping off your loons, instead of the Hounds. Heroes are kept for cleanup, don't place straight away, that is the main reasons why people get 99% cuz of that sneaky builderhut/tesla in the corner

Loons
10loons

For laloon types of attacks, u need to deal with cc and queen. Golaloon, queenwalk laloon variants are good and consistent ways to talk out of a few key targets. The other way is to take out queen with the lava pups and rage, check the queen pop laloon guides for this strategy.
