Strongest TH9 War Army?

Hey guys, I'm curious what you guys feel is the strongest army we can field as a TH9? Obviously it depends on the base design, but I've mostly played with Miniballs and Hogs, but it seems to be trickier to get 3 stars with Miniballs. I easily 2 star pretty much anyone, but the illusive 3 star seems to escape me.
Hogs, on the other hand have been doing very well and I've had all three stars with them.

I just finished my LVL 2 witches and my golems are starting on their upgrade path, so I'm curious if there's a viable GoWiWi or WiWiPe strategy that's stronger than Hogs or MiniBalls at TH9?

Currently maxed Hogs, Loons, and Minions, Witches, heals/rage.

Golems are just lvl 1, going to lvl 2 so I'm not looking at any time soon, just curious.

Are you wanting to attack medium - well developed th9's as well?

I'm sure newer th9's fall to hogs/bloonions all day right? I have been having trouble 3-starring anything with x-bows pointing up as i use mainly dragon armies.

I've taken out fully maxed TH9's with lvl 5 hogs and maxed heal spells pretty easily. Granted, they weren't in an "anti-hog" base layout though.

As for dragons, they are at a big disadvantage against TH9's and X-bows pointed up. My son has a TH8 with lvl 3 dragons and he attacked a premie TH9 with very low level AD's and two lvl 1 xbows pointed up. We thought he'd be ok, but he barely got 50% for a 1 star, and that was it. Even the lvl 1 x-bows slowly chewed away at the dragons.

Also, to further answer your question. We've been getting matched with clans that have a lot more TH10's than we have, so I've been forced to attack TH10's. If they have maxed inferno's and heavy air defense with X-bows down my best chance is for a 1 star and fingers crossed a 2 star with MiniBalls, 3 rage, & 1 heal (hero's & CC to take out their CC). If x-bows are up, then Hogs are my only option and they get slaughtered by the IT's so I try to take out a couple sides to get the 1 star.

With lower level IT's I stick with Hogs.

Id say this goes in Attack/Defense log...
just my 2 cents:rolleyes:

I've been debating this too. I got decent at hogs in the past, but I find a lot of anti-hog bases in Clan Wars, and as a th9 with no freeze spells inferno towers are a big no-no.
I think there is definitely a viable GoWipe or GoWiWi strategy for three stars for th9s if money and time is no option, which is true for me in clan wars. I'm not quite sure of the right combo, but I was finding some success with only level 1 golems against strongest opponents we faced in Clan Wars (strong th9s and weak th10s), so I'm interested when I level them up a few and get a little better at deployment.

I took:
3 rage, 1 heal
2 golem
3-4pekka
15-20 wizards
6 wallbreakers
Rest archers, handful of barbs
Requesting Clan Castle: Wizards, Witches, or Archer as a last resort

I might send in a few barbs or archers to test for big bombs and draw clan castle and heroes to a corner or side I plan to attack from.
Drop one pekka and the wizards to wipe those out. Drop the golems immediately afterward. Follow with 2 wallbreakers, a pekka and a rage spell, rest of the wall breakers, rest of the pekka, wizards, clan castle troops. Careful dropping most pekkas until there is a bit of a funnel into the base. Then set them to work with rage spells in key areas. I bring one heal if I see the wizards in a big group with pekkas taking some fire.

I like that, I might play around with that some.

I have been toying around with GoWiWi and it rips Anti-Hog/Ring Bases a new one.

2 Golems
6 Witches
20 Wall breakers
rest wizards
3 Rage
1 Lightning
You need at least level 5 Heroes

For non anti-hog/ring bases

26 Hogs
18 Wizards
18 Archers
3 Healing
1 Lightning

This composition has given me a perfect 4-4 3 stars in my attacks so far for clan wars. Hope this helps good luck clashing.

if you want an air army comp then try miniballs with a drag or 2. i have never though about using this but it sounds like it would work

I know when I was pushing into masters miniballs with a lvl 3 dragon in the CC was money. Even against harder TH10's I could get my 1 or 2 star on many base configurations. The thing I loved was how cheap and relatively fast they were to train.
However, in CW I'm not at all concerned with build time or cost. I want the strongest army I can field. :)

It really depends on the opponent base you're aiming for, if it's a th9 hogs are the best lol, i looooooooove destroying anti hog base with hogs so funny xD
Against th10 the best you can do is 2 starring them with gowipe and/or gowiwi but with no freeze would be better to take gowipe and have like 1 golem 4 pekkas or 2 golems 3 pekkas and pick a side where you'll have to face the multi inferno one after another, ideally those 5 guys will take the damage from the inferno allowing your king and your wiz to be safe. And i would skip the bases with single inferno
But some th10 designs can be easier two starred by a balloonion army than gowipe, so your job is to identify your target and use the right army. Good luck!
