Champions at TH 9. Need help!

Okay so in April 7th my clan (RegulatorsELITE) is having a trophy push. I really want to get to champions for two reasons. One it would make our clan look good ;), and two I want to have the extra 3000 gems for reaching Master then Champ. The last time I trophy pushed was back in December and that was when I was still a noob :p, so I am confident I can reach masters. I do need help on reaching champ though.

My balloons are level 6, and my minions and rage are level 5. Should I use balloonions? Thanks for ideas, and any response is appreciated!!!!

Also, if you have gone to champion yourself please point out specifically how you did it. Or if you know of another thread that has a TH 9 guide to champion, a hyperlink would be MICH appreciated !!!

What level are your heroes? Pekka? Balloonion/miniball might be good though.

My King is level 10, and my Queen is a weak level 2. If the Queen is important I can focus all the de on her and quickly get her up to maybe level 8-10 for trophy push. My Pekkas are level 3, and what is mini ball?

Another name for balloonions I saw someone use. I think balloonions would be good for you, I am sure you might find a guide somewhere on balloonions.
GoWiPe might also be good, GoWiWi too. GoWiWi needs higher level heroes. GoWiPe takes a bit of practice with Pekka's stupid ai.

I think I am getting a hang of balloonions and I started a thread earlier about it. I definitely would not be able to do GoWiWi because that requires at least level 18+ heroes to do successfully. I may try GoWiPe. What level heroes should you have for balloonions? And what level heroes for GoWiPe?

Both sky nine clans (both top 200) have th9's in champions. I looked at their bases and they all use balloonian but I know from experience that it only takes one mistake to ruin a raid, so. My advice to you is that in crystal and masters PERFECT your strategy and what works best for u. And you should be successful my friend

Thanks! I will start practicing balloonions right away (again lol) and will try to master them. So it seems like people agree that balloonions are the way to champ
Thx!

Any more ideas?

You can have a look at my thread (http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...ps%29-as-a-TH9) which is the exact same as yours :-D.

I'm currently at 2877, still pushing, and here are the advices I can offer you :

As an attacker :

• I use 24 balloons, 50 minions, 2 rages, 1 heal, 1 lightning. All maxed of course, along with lvl 12 AQ and lvl 13 BK.
• Aim one star. If you try to two stars up there, you gonna go into the core, face the multi infernos lvl3, and have a baaaaad time. Use your balloons to destroy AD, AT, WT, an then, just drop one minion/building to get 50% (as an example, my last ten attacks were 9 50%, and 1 50% + exposed TH).
• Bring AT LEAST 3 spells. Those are a huuuuge help, if not mandatory.
• Bring your CC filled with ballons, minions, dragon, wizard or witches.
• If you have to wait 10 minutes for your hero to wake up, wait. If you 49%, get back and they are alive, you'll be mad.
• Lure AQ & CC. If you send all your balloons and lvl 6 wiz get out of the CC, you're gonna have a bad time. Use a lightning spell on the CC (will not kill lvl 6 wiz though). Use the minimum amount of minion that you can, you'll often need the 50 to get 50%.
• Attacking a base without an AQ is a plus.
• If you have to drop your heros, end the battle ASAP after 50%. They sleep way to much else.
• If you are willing to use gems, boosting spell factory/heroes helps a lot (I don't gem but I still got the 1000 from my latest push to Masters)
• With time, you'll learn how many balloons each building/area takes. If not attacked by anything, one balloon will kill one AT. This will help you a lot.
• Remember that up air x bows have a freaking range and will destroy you minions.
• At 49% (happens more than you think!), remember that a lightning spell will destroy a builder hut or an hero base.
• TAKE YOUR TIME. 3 min is very long, especially using baloonions. Lure the queen/CC to a good place with only a few minions, take the time to deploy your troops, see which building you wanna destroy, how many balloons/minion it'll take.
• NEXT. NEXT. NEXT. Until you find a base you're comfortable with. Really. Don't attack a random base because you're bored.
• If you come from farming land, FORGET ABOUT THE LOOT. You'll often see bases offering easy 400k. Don't go if you're not 99% sure you can have a star.
• A lost will cost you probably 26 trophies, so at least 3 attacks, around 3 hours of clashing. Just be sure.

As a defender :

• You'll probably can still win defenses around 2700 if you have a maxed TH9. Else, you'll get attacked and raped very fast (within the next 10 minutes).
• You'll get hogged. Often. Very often. If you don't have an anti-hog base, you'll get 100% each time, and you don't want that. 100% will make you loose around 25 trophies. Mine holds up pretty well, I often only get one starred. The only one who two starred used GoWiWi.
• Have your CC full when you log off, hard to lure, with lvl5+ wiz or witches. This is probably the most important part of your defense.
• If you can, log off with both your heroes awake.
• If you break a shield, be sure that you can win more trophies than the next attacker will take from you.
• Don't hope not to get attacked while your troops are cooking (48 minutes).

GL&HF anyway!

Barching could be extremely effective once everyone puts buildings outside... Bamming too..

DC that was an amazingly helpful post man! Thanks

thanks for the help! This is much appreciated. If you don't mind can I have a picture of your base so I can copy it?

What type of base do you recommend to attack if I am using Barch or Bam? Also what level of troops is ideal if I am going to use this strategy?

bumping for more ideas on how to get to champ. Maybe some videos would help;)

Good luck. ideally you need level 15 heroes, miniballs are brilliant, is you know your stuff and how to use them. Barch got me to 2400 just playing causally. Its an easier way to 50% IMO

Thanks but I need to get to 3200 not 2400 :(
so miniballs are just like balloonions? If so I will practice them

Try going to the clan LOONATIX for a few days to get tips for your loonion raids

Goodluck to your Journey

Yup no prob, I took it from the "Let's build a TH9 for the new loot system" thread.
You can get a pic here : http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...ps%29-as-a-TH9.

About barching / baming :

• I'd go for barching. Especially with only 220, every single troop counts. If you use 20 minions, that means that you have to cut 40 archers.
• If you're not gemming, it probably won't be much faster than balloonions : you'll need to wait for your 4 lightning speels (2 hours).
• I suck at it, so I'll stick with my balloons :).

Anyway, I hope you'll go the champs !

EDIT : My base juste got 100% last night :-P, by a champ, who definitely was good with hogs :
33 hogs, 10 barbs, 15 archers, 14 wiz, 2 witches, lvl 16 BK, lvl 19 AQ, 5 heal spells. Anyway, I'll stick with it, I have the feeling that no base will prevent me from being 100% all the time :-P.

thank you for your detailed replies! So I don't think I will do Barch because of the spells either:p
Thanks for openly stating your defensive loss of your base, it makes your base seem more realistic. Thanks for all your help!

Thanks for your very detailed reply about BARCH! I don't think I would be using it either because of the spell time :p
And thanks for openly stating the loss of your base, it makes it seem more realistic. Thanks for all your help!

Sorry for double posting hehe, my internet flew away and I decided to re type it lol

Zerdonex i think u should use barch strategytill u get 2600 trophies.Barch startegy contains Barbs,Archers.And When u reach Crystal Use Minions With Barch.Then use hogs or balloons.I would prefer hogs if u have them atleast4-5 lvl else do balloons.And Make Some archers along with minions and balloons.It Would Help Alot. if u Want To Ask SomeThing Else Feel free bro:)

Thanks a lot for the help! I got to Crystal 1 using Barch last December. I am positive I can reach Masters just th sniping. The hard part is going to be the next 600 trophies after that to reach champions. For that I plan on using balloonions since my hogs are only level 3

I'm stepping way out of bounds as a new TH 7 but recall watching a Daddy Youtube video with the miniball/Loonions method (same thing difft name).

As I recall he used two fingers to release ballooons first, then as they moved in to base quickly put down two rages in front of them followed by a quick release of minions. That was with level 6 loons and I'm guessing lvl 6 minnies but U would only have lvl 5 minnies I think. Anyway, thought I would name drop Daddy since it looked pretty effective up there.

Ah here it is, go to the 5:30 or 7:50 mark or so for the Minnies ballooons attack:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fhnSmtWRO4

I'm new to forum so hope that link works. Good luck on your march upward! :D Looks like I didn't describe it correctly but U can watch it and pick it up (he raged first it looked like). BTW just noticed his minnies were level 5 in the vid.

GoWiPe doesn't matter as much, that is what Pekka are for. Balloonions, I am not very good with. I think level 5 might be good for hero abilities though. Get both to level 11 if you plan on using them, though.

okay I will immediately start leveling up my AQ

I agree balloonion is the best trophy pusing strategy for th9. Imo the best at the balloonion for th9 is witelightingHWD. His channel name is MYSTIC7. I highly recommend watching a few of his videos, as he is currently the highest th9 in trophies around 3650. Good luck with the push.

Thank you for describing his Chanel. I will go check out some of his vids, and see if his and daddy's match :)

Your Most Welcome Bro.if u Want any help about running a good clan just check my forum thnx

I recommend Stitch's youtube channel, the youtube name is JollyBoysCoC. I like it more than others not because who's better than who, but simply because how well organised and clean and straightforward his vids are. No extra talk, just pure loon raids, 4 raid every vid.
