TH9 Raiding Strategies?

I already know a few setups, but it would be cool to explore around..... any strong raiding setups you guys can think of?

It would also be very convenient if you included a description of the strategy, thanks!

TY for ur help :)

Barch bam loonian mass drag and hogs are the best ones i know

barch bam wam bap pem gom gam wom wam warch gowigo gopego

balloonian: use balloons and minions....dont know the correct number for each at th9 tho....There are two strategies, one is a push strategy (go for 50 star) and the other is a 3-star against lower bases strategy. In the push strategy, you drop bunches of balloons strategically around the base to take out archer towers on the perimeter. You then drop minions to clear up the outside buildings to get 50%. Note: you may have to use rages to take out some of the archer towers. You also may need to drop your heroes at the end to get the 50%. Look at tutorials on youtube....The 2nd strategy is to basically drop a line of balloons on a side of the base, then drop rage spells, slightly ahead of the balloons. Follow the balloons immediately with minions. Use 1 lightning spell for CC once they come out.
barch: Barbarians and Archers. Drop barbarians as mini-meat shields and Archers to help do damage and take out buildings over walls.
gowipe: Golems, Wizards, Pekkas. Lure Clan castle and heroes, then drop your golems and use your own cc and whizzes o destroy cc. Use wall breakers to try to create a clear path to the town hall and then drop pekkas/heroes. I would use 2/3 golems and 2/3 pekkas. make sure you have a good 12+ wall breakers.
gowiwi: golems wizards and witches. No idea how to do it...look at tutorials on youtube :rolleyes:
valk-healer: drop valks, then healers....
val-wi: drop valks as mini meathshields and then wizzies for damage.
bam: Barbs, archers, and minions. similar strategy to barch.
giant-healer. Drop giants and try to take out any exposed air defense, then drop healers to help heal the giants. Then use archers or wizards to do some damage. Remember to bring wall breakers.
garch: drop giants as meat shields and archers to destroy buildings
hogs: drop your hogs and use heal spells to heal them.. It is crucial that you destroy the cc troops first
drags: Drop drags and rage spells (pretty easy)
wizarian: Similar to barch but with wizzies instead of archers...

Hope this helps :)

barch Surround base with barbs by drawing a circle with your finger. I do this two or three times, then repeat with archers. Getting 50% is really easy but you use your whole army for the 50%. Good for collectors if you dont have spells. I have 2 starred war bases and gotten loads of storages by using this strategy by adding a heal spell and some wbs.

gowipe The name is misleading,you need to bring a lot of wbs or a jump spell tbh. Heres what i do. Lure cc and heroes. Kill them with archers(or lightning spell) (bring 20, maybe use a wiz or my AQ) Pick a side to attack (i usually pick the side i lured the cc troops from). Drop barb king, use his spell to clear outside buildings. This is to insure that the pekkas dont go around the base. Once you think it is safe, drop your golem(s), drop 2 Wallbreakers to break the wall. Wait for the mortar shell to drop, deploy more wallbreakers. Deploy pekkas now, sprinkle in wizards, make sure they go to the middle of the base, not the outside of the base. Drop jump spell if you see golems and pekkas struggling with a wall (or maybe you could just bring a rage tbh). I never bring heals when using this army, its either 1 lightning,2 rage and a jump spell or 1 lightning 3 rage.

gowiwi Instead of stupid pekkas, you are using more DE to use witches, which skeletons overwhelm the base. Splash poses more of a threat but if you use golems correctly, splash wont be a problem

valk-healer never used this before but it seems like a giant healer strategy but you are using DE troops. Wouldnt reccomend it

val-wi Same as a giant and mass wizard raid. You let go of healers in turn for more army camp space but need to use heal spells. This is a DE hunting/cup hunting army, and using valks is just stupid if you are gonna use a ridiculous amount of them (which this army does) and hunt de


bam Barch with minions, this just decreases training time so you can raid more often. Doesnt need spells for storages (in my experience). Neither does it need wallbreakers as minions fly over walls. I attack from one side using this army though, unless its collector raids.

giant-healer- Best army! Cheap but powerful. ever since The update where traps can be upgraded and seeking air mines costed gold, this army has been nerfed into oblivion unfortunately. You cant use one healer because TH8s have 2 seeking air mines and TH9? FOUR. So you would need to bring FIVE healers if you want ONE to survive from the seeking air mine madness. Either that or attack from one side, the side closest to the loot. This means you will probably never get 3 stars.

garch Barch with giants. Giants reduce splash damage threat.

hogs This army has been talked about plenty

drags Mass drags? Use all rage, 1 freeze if you can hold 5 spells. Use heroes to take out the corners from where you are attacking from (i can update this with a pic so it makes more sense. After the corner buildings are taken out, deploy all drags in one spot and rage them, as they near the core, rage again. (optional, when they meet cc troops, freeze cc troops and/or infernoes/xbows.) When they meet CC troops, rage them again. I usually have a cc of balloons with the drags. The balloons go for the air defenses while the drags are busy smashing a gold storage. Balloons help drags not get taken out so easily. Drags serve as a target from air defenses so the balloons can go there safely and not get taken out. Really fun army

wizarian Silly army, its a cheap mans Giant Wizard.

TY, what a long reply... :);)

You can use Barch dude, its really efficient

For regular play I run a heavy load, and then barch.

12 Giants, 8 Hogs, 8 WB, 8 wizzies, 18 barbs, 54 archers and 4 heals. I use this set to full on attack a base with full storages to pick up a lot of loot and 3 star to maintain trophy level.

While the heal spells cook, i switch to barch with 8 wallbreaks, great fast cheap army for grabbing loot and most times grabbing a single star to try to maintain trophy range.


For Clan Wars, use Loonions, GoWiWi or Mass Hogs, depending upon the base I am attacking.


In regular play it's all about finding a base to match your army. In Clan Wars, it about designing your army to match the base you are going after.

Cheers!
