Not complaining just looking for some advice with disco fever.

I use ground troops but am starting to hit the wall. I am finding a lot of crappy th10's but the disco balls alone pretty much make the base unbeatable, freeze would make a huge diffrence but isn't an option as th9

So far I haven't seen a true discussion on trophy pushing post-disco update. Instead of flooding the forum with more nonsense and complaining, I would like to ask advice from people who have braved a trophy push post disco.

A bit of background:
I have started to push in preparation of my clan's trophy push to take advantage of the cheap boosts. I have made it to 2808 which is much better than my previous record of 2656. I'm proud of myself so far. I am a slightly premie th9 with max loonion and max teir one(giants/wiz/Wb/dragon included). Sadly with level one golems, hogs, and witches; my options are limited. I have a level 17bk and 15aq backing up my army.

Discussion:
In my opinion, many players are in a similar boat as me. Bases are getting harder and th9s are a rarity. I would like to know how others are dealing with the disco fever that has taken over clash. So I guess the questions I'm asking are;
1) what is the current landscape like above 2800 base wise, inferno wise, etc.
2) how have you been dealing with the discos
3) are 2-stars a thing of the past for loonion due to discos
4) [expansion on #2] is there a trophy range where people fear golem and max hero attacks enough that a decent number have double single target infernos
5) what is the upper potential for th9

Sorry for the undoubtedly poor post, I am at my internship attempting to not work hard. I hope this thread doesn't get trolled with raging, flaming, and obvious poor advice from th7s. I would like to say thanks in advance for advice and or discussion from people who have done a recent trophy push.

.... <---- I have some spare full stops. You're welcome.

If you're TH9 you're going to struggle against them because you don't have Freeze spells. They're really the only thing to combat them successfully. Most bases have the Infernos tucked in the centre so you can get 50% relatively easily outside but two stars would be next to impossible, they just cut through small air troops...

Dragons are another story altogether though. They've been boosted over and update or two and are currently extremely efficient against disco infernos. A lot of guys in ITD on our trophy push are using them to 2 star bases with relative ease. It's an expensive option though and not so sustainable. For TH10 with 240 spaces we can have 12 and that's 504k elixir plus spells. Just another option for you though.

I was two starring plenty of bases with two disco inferno's over 3k last one I pushed.

they aren't quite the balloon killer they are made out to be, though they obviously make things more difficult. If a base has exposed ad and xbows down a two star isn't all that hard. They take time to take out balloons, and if you have wiped out the relevant ad and wiz towers early on then you will get time to take out the infero's.

Obviously you need to neutralise the inferno's pretty quickly, but they are far less of a problem than buried ad. I increased my balloons to 32 and that helped as well.

Pick the right bases with easy patching to the infernos and don't get too overawed by them.

Sounds like air is the only way to go. I am going to try 12 witches with some PEKKA's and see how that goes.

Dragons would be good but as a th9 getting that much elixer in masters it tough now, maybe with try every 5 raid or so.

i like most of the game will bite the bullet and upgrade to th10 way earlier than I would have like if they aren't nerfed in next update.

I think discos are easy to beat IMO with good heroes. It does less damage than a cannon. Bringing some witches and skeletons wouldn't be a bad idea to distract the discos while golems distract everything else. Leaves wizards and queen untouched. The king might be useful to tank though

Doen't quite work in reality heroes only take 2 of the ten beams. While the other 8 rip through wizards etc, plus even L30 heroes drop fast if they have all defenses on them and can't be healed.

One beam may do less damage than a cannon but there are ten of them (from two towers) and you can't heal through them like you can with cannons.

it is quite frustrating as a th9 since plenty of people have them together and a freze spell would make it an easy 3 star.

From my last push, and from watching the replays of others,
the scene beyond Masters II actually gets slightly better for miniballing as far as the infernos are concerned.

The players up there were quick to realise that GoWiWis / dragon attacks were a bigger threat to them than miniballs,
so the higher you climb, the more single mode infernos you see.

Back to miniballs & Studio 60,
I am still able to 2* the occasional base here & there with the right combination of base selection, spell placement, and well, a suppression of my noob attacking skills.
But usually, I stick to the safer bet of 50%
- which is well and good in M3, but got a little tiring in M2: I ended up losing more trophies on defense than I did winning on offense so my climb was painfully slow.

But then again, I was @ TH9 when that update happened,
meaning that my base was an insta-hog-3* every time I logged out.
@ TH10 my current climb is a lot easier as I tend to win a defences here & there.

1. IMO I see more double multiple mode infernos from 2900 to 3100. Probably becoz hoggies are common for that range but beyond that its almost Gowiwi attacks with max heroes 90% of the time.

2. Basically just base designs.. It's all about the AD placement and infernos placement... And also if AQ is awake and some luck on the troops that comes out from the CC (do be careful with lvl 6 wizs and lvl 2 witches). I did try freeze spells but as mine is only lvl 1 and the balloons are really slow so its hard to get to the centre of the base with that short freeze time before they get toasted lol..

3. For some reason, above 3100 i began to see more infernos being set on single modes or maybe 1 x single and 1 x multiple. So i was getting quite a bit of success 2 starring lotsa bases with 2-3 rages and 1 lightning spells.

4. I would say above 3100 where most bases are more towards against Gowiwi so infernos are on single modes and poor AD placement. But it could also be a case where more people realize multiple modes doesn't work at high trophies so began to switch back to single modes as i did my trophy push.

5. Personally.. I would say above 3000 is a damn BIG achievement for TH9.. But maybe u can strive better lol..

Good luck for your push!

Cheers~

I can confirm. Also climbed up to Champ during disco.
It was a lot harder than last time, had to adapt my strategy.

The highest a TH9 could get in our clan was 3020. Balloons minions.
Each defense you will loose, so don't think you can play a bit and log off. You need to play long sessions to maintain your rating + never loose. Go for 1 star. A small win is always better than a loss.

3200 would indeed be a very very nice achievement.
