New to TH 9, Ground or Air for Clan War?
Hello everyone,
I'm new to TH 9 and I'm looking for advices on laboratory upgrading priority for Clan War, mostly a choice between ground or air troops, or more specifically, hogs/golems/pekka/witch or balloon/minions/lava hound.
Now, I understand both ground and air troops can be useful at some point and a composition of both according to the base is the best attacking strategy as demonstrated in hulk's channel. But getting all these upgrades will take a while, and I want an army composition I can use in a few weeks.
Some factors to consider:
- The opponents I'll be facing will be mid-to-low TH 9's and strong TH 8's.
- I don't use programs that allows me to "practice" before actual raid.
- My clan mates mostly donate lvl 3 dragons, lvl 4+ hogs, lvl 6 balloons during Clan War, rarely golems.
Hogs was originally a common choice, but after several patches it seems too risky to use. But other ground troops compositions (like GoWiPe) seem to be very reliable to use (at least 2 star) and hogs can work well with them.
Balloons and other air troops take less total time and resources to upgrade, which is a really good thing, upgrading minions will allow me to do BAM farming, which is another good thing, but it seems more difficult to use and less reliable in general. (The best attackers in my clan use hogs and I have seen some loonion fails, so I'm may be biased in that aspect.)
How comfortable is it to start off with balloons? What's your favourite Clan War army composition?
Any advices/thoughts are welcome.
