My line of thinking is my loons and minions will be right behind the hounds and the drag would get torn up by my raged minions.

My reasoning is I really don't want to sacrifice camp space and/or my AQ to kill the dragon if it can be put down with minimal loss without luring it out. At the same time, I really want to 3 star lol.

I have yet to face a drag in the cc in all my lavaloonion raids, believe it or not.

Dragons can be a problem but are usually not a problem. A dragon would focus a hound and if your minions aren't distracted by heroes or out of range to target a dragon it can be a problem. Once one hound dies all your pups will delay the dragon allowing minimized damage. Honestly, as long as it doesn't target your loons then it won't be a problem. If it's possible try to deploy more minions on whatever side the Dragon goes to. You may also want to bring 5 extra minions than normal to help take it quicker.

Thats pretty much much what im thinking. I'll go with my plan as heroes won't be an issue where it'll be at and the mins will get triggered by the drag. I will take a few extra mins though. If it goes to hell then I'll go the lure route next time lol. Thanks for the input! Great guide btw 👍

+1, thanks!

This strat guide is fantastic! One question though, have you tried this against a th10 as a th9? Thanks!

It's not so bad if the TH 10's Inferno towers are set to individual targeting. If they are multi-target, I generally avoid. It can be done, but it takes a little luck in that your balloons target inferno towers without messing around. Get a little unlucky, and you lose, and it's ugly...

I have never used lava hounds before and after reading this guide i tried it. I am a th9 and raided 3 other th9s so far in war getting 3 STARS EVERYTIME. Thank you so much for the sweet guide, i always hated ground troops and this is amazing.

You're welcome dude! If anybody would like a new section or more details just let me know!

i somehow keep failing with this tactic.
i send my hounds and then my loons, and by the time the loons arrive the hounds are dead/almost dead and my loons become useless.
should i send the loons first or what? what am i doing wrong??
