TH9 HoWiWi - How to Guide
I have seen a lot of people talk about hog and witches so I decided to do some experimental attacks with it and I think important keys are the combo, deployment, and most importantly post update is base selection for using HoWiWi. Because not all people read the forums or have their bases set up to combat this strat.
*my hogs are only lvl 4 currently. Lvl 5 is next.
*not everyone reads the forums and centers heros and cc or places double giant bombs inside base.
This guide is mainly for TH9's against other TH9's, can be applicable for th10 just change spell combo adding freeze against IT's.
Base Selection
1. Need to find a base where AQ is on edge or can be easily taken out of the picture. BK is too slow and not much of a factor. The Archer Queen can kill your hog raid if not dealt with or if she is centered.
1A. If the queen is centralized you can still just about do it with using WBs to get the witches into base:Credit to Kruzkal
2. CC that can be lured out with 2-4 hogs.
3. No obvious locations for a possible double giant bomb inside base. Even post update a lot of bases do not include this trap in their base as they are relying on the level of their defenses to stop hogs.
4. Another good thing to find is grouped defenses especially Wiz Tower where one heal can cover multiple defenses.
Troop/Spell Combo
32 hogs
4 witches
3 wizards
CC full of wizards
4 heal spells
I used to use all archers as cleanup with hogs but the ability of witches to just continually keep spawning skeletons can easily raise total troops deployed considerably.
Deployment
1. 2-4 hogs to defense to trigger CC.
2. Lure CC over to AQ area
3. Deploy CC wizards with witches behind them to take out enemy CC and AQ.
4. Deploy hogs on same side that you took out the AQ/enemy CC. Deploy in two groups so each group takes out one side of the base as they make their way through and keeps defenses from being able to target witches/wizards cleaning up.
5. Heal placement is more important than ever. Be able to identify the giant bomb location to heal hogs b/c even one giant bomb takes out signicant health from hogs.
6. Use heroes towards middle of attack to either target the th for the 2 star or for cleanup and the 3rd star.

Conclusion
Everyone does things their own way and to a lot of experienced clashers this may seem no brainer to a lot of people but when you have watched multiple replays of people using rage on hogs and they die running into one giant bomb, or forgetting to lure and kill cc wizards and whole hog raid goes to hell.
Hope you hoggers who had lost hope in hogging find this useful and clash on!
