Hi Dragontamer, thanks for the compliments and sorry for the late reply.

Yes, I do attack potential double giant bombs bases, but that's because most of my attacks are against TH10s. Most TH10s I came across don't have double giant bombs 'ambush' because they usually just set their infernos to multi-mode and centralized their heroes.

Nowadays I seldom do pure hogging raids unless the base is asking for it, (lousy base layout, poor heroes positioning and few or no traps inside the base, etc). I mostly do hybrid hogging, which is basically hogs riders plus other army combo, usually GoWiPe or GoWiWi. Normally I would use my GoWiPe army to trigger the traps and bombs, distract and take out heroes and some core defences before releasing my hogs. Golems and Pekkas has very high hit-points. They are 'immune' to giant bombs and spring traps thus making them the best tankers for your hog riders.

Hope this answer your queries, I will also be sharing more hybrid hogging videos in future. Cheers!!!

Sharing a recent clan war attack on my base.

The attacker used a very popular strategy called the Lavaloonian that is currently very common in high level raids.

Sadly, my base was not designed to defend well against air assaults and was smashed to pieces. My core defences were completely destroyed by the combo and his maxed heroes just swept through the remaining of my base for the 3 stars..

Damn it, I really need to learn and master this strategy quickly!!! http://i.imgur.com/kAmiu1F.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/kAmiu1F.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/kAmiu1F.gif

Not much pro hoggers nowadays, especially after the heroes & giant bombs update. You are really good with them, liked all your videos and tutorials. Hope to see more, will be great if you can add in some commentary. :o

Hi ClashQueen,

Thanks for the support, really appreciate your kind words.

Like I had said earlier, its not easy to do pure hogging raids anymore. I am doing hybrid hogging mostly now, currently learning how to use the lavaloonian combo.

Will definitely be making videos with commentary in future. Cheers.

Level 5 hogs will be optimum because the increase in dps and hitpoints are great.

Level	Damage per Second	Hitpoints	Training Cost http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2...rk_elixir.webp	Research Cost http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2...rk_elixir.webp	Laboratory Level Required	Research Time
1	60	270	40	N/A	N/A	N/A
2	70	312	45	20,000	5	8 days
3	80	360	52	30,000	6	10 days
4	92	415	58	40,000	6	12 days
5	105	475	65	50,000	7	14 days

Some of my clannies which were previously using level 4 hogs can 3 star a maxed TH9.

The key to perfecting the art of hogging a TH9 largely depends on spell timing and placement in my opinion.

Hope this answers your queries. Cheers.

My hogs are only level 1, and I have only gotten a max 1 star in clan wars. Do you have any suggestions for me?

Hi Protitans,

From your signature , I am assuming your a TH8. For a TH8, there really ain't many 'strong' attack strategy available. My suggestions will be GoWiPe, Mass Drags or Dragloons and Hog Riders if you are attacking TH8s - TH9s.

You definitely need to get your hog riders up asap if you are considering to use them. You will need at least level 4 piggies and level 5 heal spells in order to be effective against TH8s to mid TH9s,

To be good with them, you need to master the basics in using them:

Step 1 - Always identify possible giant bombs position and try to trigger them early if possible.

Step 2 - Luring and killing the CC troops is a MUST. If you ain't sure you can get a clean lure, its best to skip.

Step 3 - Break the anti-hog ring if there is one, to prevent your hogs from going round the base instead of going core.

Step 4 - Use your heroes (in this case your BK) to distract and take out enemy's heroes (if near the edges) and other defence buildings.

Hopes this help. Cheers.

I have shared your youtube channel with my clan mates and they love your videos too. Will you be making gowipe or gowiwi videos in future? Hogs are so hard to use after the updates.

not allowed to join your friends in a clan :D

Thanks ClashQueen, really appreciate your support.

Yeah, I will be making some tutorials on GoWiPe and GoWiWi. There had been some requests for me to make videos for TH9s already. Still in the process, hope to share them soon. Cheers!!!
