Nope, I have been fairly consistent with 3 starring th9s. Not able to give input on whether that max hound will affect that result as lvl 3 is the min our clan can donate

It depends on the attack. Queen Pop Laloon relies on taking 1 AD out with Zap/Quake.
Other LaLoon attacks don't use it.
One think I found that generally does not work is taking out 2 ADs with Zap/Quake as you generally don't have enough spell slots to carry the attack through.
I'll keep practicing it untill I perfect it along with the govawi queen walk
CC bowlers, loons, and hogs are the best 3 troops to use at th9 in a variety of different war attacks. HGHB or GOBOLALOON will 3 star almost any max th9 war base. Practice both strats after watching videos and you will learn how to adjust troop numbers depending on the base layout you attack.
Also just straight up laloon and golaloon works but usually better war bases will defend it. If you use valks try GOVAHO. Don't rely on just valks or valks wiz only. LVL 4 valks don't seem strong enough for good layouts of max th9s and you'll have trouble getting the last 20 percent. Plus so many people use anti valk war bases. Also stay away from drags not a 3 star strat on stronger th9s.
Bowlers, loons, and hogs are your best friends.
I have no access to bowlers wish I did seems that's whats workin these days.
If your getting placed with a max th9, you are too war heavy.
Reason-
You have placed the xbow on your base and thats the last thing I would do if I'm a new th9. Those things have a lot of war weight.
You have placed all the new defenses on your base and started upgrading them. Again war weight.
To correct this cancel and upgrades for defenses and get ur efforts in to your troop upgrade and the heros. You will win.
