How are you going to 3 star without hogs?

So the sneak peak say that Gaint bombs will be getting a buff, if we assume that this buff will take the extra 75HP that causes Level5 Hogs to survive a Double Gaint Bomb trap and are now unable to live though said trap. How is one suppose to 3 star anything that employs this trap basically TH8 and up.

One cannot loon a max th9
One cannot GoWiWi(TH9) a max th9
One cannot Hog a max th9

So what is this one to do to be the 6 star warrior one wants to be..... Attack mid TH9's and below?

interesting times ahead whats your thoughts?

Use valkyries and jump spells to pwn?

Let's give SC's newly offered options a chance BEFORE complaining about what they're taking away.

If that's the case with valks, it'll only be a matter of time before the whiners say it's OP and they get nerfed.

See the trend?

Hogs are a special case because you don't need to use anything else with them. Is there a mass-Valks strategy...

You aren't supposed to be able to 3 star people that easily.

Have you actually tried hogs against a decent base? Its really hard and you'll need lots of skill for that.

And for the OP: I think ill keep using hogs during wars, ill just upgrade them to lvl 5 and will try adjust my attacks to the new update.

Hypothetically if said update happens, people will adapt. Everyone enjoys a new challenge

Is there a place to see updates and what is changed in the game? I know with call of duty, they post the exact details of things changed and didn't know if SC does this too

It used to be air attacks....but now since most have all upgraded air bombs and Air seekers...kinda hard to 3 star a base with only air attack...even with lvl4 drags and freeze spells.

There was also the old skool Giants and Healers combo...but that died off when the ordinary Hogs became 'Super' Hogs after the changes

This. I am of the opinion that you are not supposed to be able to 3-star people as good as you (how many people in Champ get 3-starred?) unless you're a ridiculously good attacker. Either focus on 2-starring, become an amazing attacker, or start picking on weaker players.

The only thing this will do is make anti-hog bases stronger. Hog spamming will be prone to exploding but skilled hoggers will be fine. Seriously, hogs walk all over th9 bases right now. This simply means that you might actually use more than 1 comp for 3 stars - and yes other comps do 3 star

This update will just make more people ghost in cw to locate the giant bombs...

I really hope they fix this issue or I promise ghosting will get even more rampant.

Mass anything doesn't work, you cant take only hogs either my wizards and barbs are a very close second most vital thing of my attacks.

so reward farmers over people who have learned the finer details of the game, anyone can farm collector raids all day.

ive been using hybrid attacks in war as I started my war career as a looner and just recently come to hogs 10 wars ago.

hybrid loon attacks need a certain base layout, Baconmaker is prime for loon/hog hybrid for example

yet you cannot stop from being starred, thats the whole thing if this game was a defensive game then no one would play they would build a base max it and get bored. Maybe 2 stars will become the new 3 but it does not reward those who are great players it just handicaps them down to average level. Anyone can 2 star a max TH9 with simple GiWiWiz combo

on a spread base you will never know where DGB lay, bases will change to use this new buff. My base just became super OP because I already use a spread that doesn't allow for DGB sniffing
