Ive heard of holowiwi, but mainly for th9. I just have a few doubts....
1. What (estimated) count per army troop should i have (2 witches in CC)
2. Are lv5 loons strong enough?
3. How would you attempt a holowiwi with a compact base. Ive seen a lot of open bases get destroyed because .... They're open.... Wouldnt it be harder to holo a compact base where every defense is being guarded with other defenses?
Thanks for any help 👍

Level 5 loons are barely strong enough to hold their own weight up. I woudnt even bother considering using them unless they are against ground or wizard towers and completely out of range of any arch tower or air defense. They are just absolutely useless. To answer your third question though, yes, much harder to holo a compact base. Youre much better off with mass dragons with 5 max loons in your clan castle.Quote:

Holowiwi takes more loons due to them being weaker, add in 20 less troop slots at th8 and you will be running significantly less hogs then a th9. Most of the time holo is not the best strategy for th8 although if the base is right go for it.
I wouldn't HoLoWiWi at TH8.... The balloons just aren't strong enough. I would stick to hogging and mass dragons in war.
Holowiwi is stronger at th9.
Please explain how you are gonna use witches at TH8 ?
Yes I realize you can put ONE in the CC.
2 actually, a witch is 12 housing and max lvl CC for TH8 is 4 and can hold 25 housing which means you can hold 2 with 1 spot to spare.Quote:

The risk while using loon 5 is due to teslas & bombs.you may need to take more loons in case they show up near your target.
At TH8, you really only have 3 effective war options.
1) Hogs (lvl 4's can pretty much 3 any TH8 equivalent maxed or otherwise)
2) Drags (mass drags still very effective at Th8)
3) GoWipe (for late Th8's and only on bases you can't 3 with hogs or drags. Its the safe 2 star option, though clearly not as good nor effective as it is at TH9/10).
Holowiwi is a TH9 strat, and lvl 6 loons are a drastic increase over lvl 5's.
Stick to hogs/drags as a TH8. Those are your bread and butter troops for war.
