4 or 5 Lava Hound + Balloon + Rage Spell = Supercell please correct this joke !

In the last 3 wars, we have been attacked by lavaloon 4 times - 1 for 3stars, the others for 2stars - doesn't look like everyone is using it yet, or that everyone finds it easy to 3star any th9.........

(best 3 star strats v strong th9 look to me to be hog based as far as i can tell from our clan war experience.......):facepalm:

Make sure each AD is covered by at-least 1 other ad.
double up black bombs on the ads.

Make sure wiz towers DO NOT cover ADs.
double up red bombs on wiz towers.

Hounds will all rush center, balloons get eaten alive by wiz towers and double red bombs.

Thanks for the advise, we will try this.

And for the war, yes they destroy us :D. Only a few of our member have Lava Hound 2. But if most of you say that Lavaloons is not easy to master, i believe you, i hope i have the higher quality brain that is needing to masterise this incredible attack.

Nothing defensive wise makes a real dent in a lavaloonion Yes wiz help, but what they usually do is pull minions in on top of the th........so you want stuff that DOESN'T shoot air. Valk + barbs.

This is for when the attacker fails at his air 3* and has to drop heroes to get the TH.......3 skelly traps and 25/30/35 barbs will provide the ultimate distraction for those heroes. I've fought off I can't tell you how many 2*'s this way........

Interesting point of view. Perhaps I'll try that and see how it goes.

When I was nearing the end of TH9, i got lavaloon'd in wars frequently because I had nearly finished my lava walls.

My level 25 AQ is buried deep and my ADs are in good position (overlap, can't be picked off easily before the raid starts).

0 lavaloon attacks have reached even 2 stars on me.

When I use it I always like to have some minions. Just the hounds and loons is too much of an all or nothing strategy. If you don't have enough loons left at the end, you might run out of time with a high % 1 star. Also like the mins to rush in and kill CC if you aren't luring.

wait to you see golem heros lavaloon

I think the truth is...

Now that laloon exists you have to decide to protect either ground or air. Choosing incorrectly spawns these posts about how laloon is over powered. LAVALOON IS NEEDED to seperate the great players from the mediocre ones.

I hate to break it to you, but TH9s are easy 3 stars for any established TH10. Any combination of Gowipe, gowiwi, lavaloons, hogowiwi will 3 star it quite easily without much skill involved. So I'm not sure why you're complaining just on Lavaloons, sure, it's the most popular attack right now but I think your point arguing about it is irrelevant when other armies can do the same.

Lavaloon on th 9's isn't that easy. You're implying that's its a 3 star 100% of the time which is very far off

Since you are complaining means your 91 clan war winning clans have no clue how to do loons... Try using the attack strategy come back and tell us if you can 3 star their th9 or other war th9... Its very simple..those who cant use them come and cry..oh lavaloon is op...why dont you use them then and see for your self... By the way, lemme guess (though you wont admit) werent most of your th9 xbows ground ?

chinese clan you say ? I have fought many chinese clans and its not lava or etc etc...any thing they use they practice the attack a lot and thus get those 3 stars..whether they are hogs loon or drag ...
