So whats y'all's opinion on gowiwi? Before update i used hogs kinda a hit or miss on those still would lose a few battles with that strat. Well after update i had to swap to gowiwi. Seems this attack pretty much gurantees 2 stars unless i screw it up.
I love it! but I have more luck with air raids, like balloon minion or all drag
I fear it the most. Especially when it's very witch heavy. But I don't use it yet cuz my witches are still lvl 1 and its a very expensive strat.
best way to attack if cup hunting, if you can afford the cost and even the time.
Wish they wouldn't had moved this i brought it up for a reason. Seems to me even though i have moved to this strat is because its overpowered. The defenses in place are not able to hold up against this at all.
I got kicked from a clan asking. Which this lvl 90 thought was better Gowiwi or Gowipe. He said shut up your annoying and I said how is a raiding strategy annoying and Igot the boot
That sucks. But I see gowiwi as the more effective one
Its the most powerful strategy in the game, but the DE cost and the time to make it with spells means that no non-gemmer can frequently use it.
That was what i liked about hogs i could do that raid without gemming other than heroes. This strategy is very pricey. Also looking through ppls def wins since everyone went to this not many winning on def anymore
What does your army consist of? How many witches? How many wizards? CC?
3 gols 20 wb 4 witches 14 wizs rest barbs then wizs or witches in cc
I've used a pretty light-weight version a little bit at TH9: only 2 level 2 golems, 2 level 2 witches, 8-10 WB, 10 barbs, 10 archers, the rest wizards. It's probably a bit less risky than GoWiPe, as you tend to wipe out a pretty wide section as well as the middle (unless you screw it up like I did this morning, and even then I got 50% easily enough). With my light-weight version I can't risk taking on every base layout, but there are loads of tough bases that can be taken on for 1-2 stars, you just pick a couple of compartments to start in (that lead to the centre), and take it from there.
The main problem, on top of the cost (my lightweight one is affordable, if I pick a base loaded with DE), is that it really only works well if you are prepared to throw your heroes into the fray and (most likely) get wiped out.
Hastur, what lvl are your heroes? I ask because Im at 2900+ cups and hogs are pretty tough to run at this point. Ive seen raids using this combo, but not with the troops I have only th9 so mine would be a lightweight version as well, (golem3, witch2, wiz5 AQ 11, BK 12, spells maxed as well) and Im thinking about giving it a shot ... and try to break 3000 ... my th pops in 11 days. Just wondering what cup range you are in currently.Quote:

I have yet to come accross any maxed base / layout that I can't two star with it (aside from the rare and painful newb-mistake haha).Quote:

I also agree that right now there doesnt seem to be any defensive layout that is particularly difficult for gowiwi. My entire defense log is about 95% the exact same army (sometimes 1-2 troop variation in the number of barbs or wb but thats it haha) and after having tried more layouts than I can count, nothing seems to slow this army down.
It's great for trophy hunting, still working awesomely for me at 3884, but always being attacked by it and not having other equally reliable armies to switch back and forth to is making champion league incredibly predictable and somewhat boring.
I've got a bunch of videos on youtube using this army if anyone is interested they are linked in my signature :)
