Is GOWIPE the best TH9 clan war strategy?

I'm a TH9 and I normally use mass lvl3 dragons for clan wars.
However, I used Gowipe for the first time in my last war and managed to get an easy 3 star on a mid level TH8.

My hogs are lvl4, balloons lvl5, minions lvl4, Pekkas lvl1, Golems lvl1.

Right now, I'm deciding which troops to upgrade so that I can get 3 star victories in clan wars.

Are hogs lvl5 still the best, since there was a giant bomb buff?
Should I upgrade my balloons and minions and go Balloonions?
Or should I focus on my Pekka and Golem and go with Gowipe?
Or forget all of the above and keep using lvl3 dragons (I can only get 2 stars on other TH9...and sometimes only 1 against max TH9)

i'd definitely upgrade those golems asap..

also @th9 i find the best strat for the 3star is gowiwi.... the one u didnt mention.

yes later on gowipe becomes stronger than gowiwi... however that change happens @th10 when pekkas get 2 more upgrades.
i think once you upgrade ur golems u will find gowiwi is the more consistant 3star strat for th9 on other th9's.

I haven't tried Gowiwi yet, I will soon. Thanks for your advice!

Actually, if you are a th9, stick with gowipe, not gowiwi. Gowiwi depends upon on high level heroes. Generally, town hall 9's dont have level 20 heroes. But if you do, then both strategies are suitable.

I'd say balloons and minions. Why? You can use them for casual farming, too. I have never seen someone using golems and PEKKAs while trying to farm.

Would TH9 Balloonion army be able to 3 star a mid-level TH9 base? or would it be only capable of getting 3 stars on a premmie or weak TH9.

The whole point of the game is to develop a strategy tailor made to your opponent's base to gain maximum advantage so what you meant by 'best' is just 'generically good' at best.

My general farming army is balloonion. Work's great. It also can be effective for getting 2 stars on mid, to semi-high level TH9s depending on base layout.

GoWiWi is by far the best, but i find level 2 witches to be a significant bump, and the whole army seems pricey for clan wars (for me, trying to get AQ and BK to level 20).

I use gowipe regularly because

1. It's fairly low cost on DE. You can get away with 1 golemn and 4 pekkas.
2. If you can get your pekkas to behave, they are devastating as they get to the core
3. you can 2 star almost every base, 3 star the mid-weak TH9s and take on some of the less mature TH10s.

I found that lvl 3 golemns and lvl 3 pekkas is where i really started to be effective in CW with gowipe. I switch up between 2 golemns and 3 pekkas and the 1 golemn and 4 pekka combos.

Fun army, watch a lot of videos before going live. GL.

I'm a fresh TH9, so my BK is lvl10 and AQ is only lvl4. So that's why I'm going Gowipe.
I'll give 2 golems, 3 pekkas as well as 1 golem, 4 pekkas a try.

Thanks for the tips!

It depends on how good you are with bloonion. If you do all the right steps you should always be able to 2-3 star a mid-level TH9 base.

Try gowiwipe cause i tend to get consistent three stars with that. It has 2 golems, 2 pekkas, 4 witches, 10 wbs, 5 barbs, 1 archer, and the rest are wizards. In my cc i bring 1 witch, 4 wizards, and 2 barbs.

Deffo get those golems up :) can lead to very versatile builds:

Here are some examples. There is a hog and drag attack too, post update:

GoWiWi is working best for me

Gowipe isn't really necessary until th10. Hogs are still effective against th8 & 9 as long as u lure castle and rage past heros

I think you are absolutely right. At first i was very skeptical about using hogs since the new update, but I really think you are correct. When you can't mass drags, mass hogs!!! I thought the unlurable BK would eat hogs, but he is just too slow

Once you get closer to more maxed out th 9 you will see that 2 stars is accually the best youl be able to do (if yr th9 yourselve) balloonians stratagie wont get you 3 stars ever same for dragons, mayby with max lvl troops youll be able to 3 star maxed th9 with gowiwi, gowipe also maximum 2 star(youll run out of time)

I'd say loonions

I think this is what I have a hard time accepting, as well as alot of people. At low and mid levels (everything up to th8) anything less than 3 in war is a fail. But, as you rightly said, 2 stars at maxed TH9 is really great (unless ur probably a big th10)

Yeah... Gowipe can get you 3 star.

GoWiPe, GoWiWi, Loonian, and Drags are standard 2* armies at th9. You can also play around with valks, jump spell and mix and match that with GoWiPe for example. Or go mass valks/wiz for some fun shinanegans.

I love using mass dragons because there's little skill involved, but usually I get only 2 stars on mid-level or maxed TH9 bases.

With GOWIPE(lvl1 Pekkas and Golems), I'm getting 0-3 stars on maxed TH8 bases.
I'm still learning to use this strategy. When I get better at it, I will try premmie and mid-level TH9s.

I haven't tried Balloonions yet, as my Balloons are only level 5. But I'm considering upgrading them before my Pekka and Golem, just so I can give it a try and get some experience with the Balloonion strategy.

I'm a fairly new TH9 with Level 2 golems and level 3 pekkas (BK10 and AQ4). Other then a really crummy attack last war where everybody ran sideways I've been getting pretty reliable 3 stars on max Th8's and lower grade TH9's and 10's. (2 golems, 3 pekkas, 10 WB's, and rest wizards).

Thanks for the feedback. I can't wait to upgrade my Pekkas and Golems and consistently crush TH8 and premmie TH9s in clan wars.

It's funny, when I maxed my TH8, the only 2 units I didn't upgrade was Pekkas and Golems!
I did Minions and Hogs to lvl4 because I thought I would be using those for TH9...but at the moment I'm passing on them.

for my clan, Im always faced hitting a max or near max th10. As a th9 with lvl 1 golems, lvl 3 pekka, and lvl 5 wiz (1 lvl 20 hero) Its very doable. Plan the attack, and go for it, a 2* is unlikely, but if its in the top 10 its fine. normally 11-35 are easy to 2*
