....and the opponents' CCtroops and AQ? Will lavapups suffice or are those part of the job for your CC-Hero team? Sounds a bit dicey, but then I have not seen this strat in action yet.

I've not tried loons and hounds yet. I've got max loons but only level 1 hounds, I'll wait til I level them up (don't like using anything at entry level) still yet to try Ballonion! Even though I have got level 5 mins. Still a lot to learn. But yea that does sound a decent plan.

You guys are far more experienced than myself and I do respect that, just found it confusing when I read that using gowipe is why wars aren't won as its not a war attack.

To be honest though, I've not ever gone out all hogs. I myself use double big bombs as defence and know it finishes hog attacks no problem, but obviously if your skilled enough you can hunt out the traps.

In war I always get the top two of our opponents, yay, TH9-10, and last war I actually found dragloon to be the best option just because the base lay out was in such a way that this turned out to be the most promising. For me drags are no option above TH8, usually, goes to show there is no over-all rule.

I've also been having tons of luck with dragloon ever since getting level 6 death loons. GoWiPe was getting me 2 stars fairly reliably on TH9 and below, and 1 on TH10s. The only problem is that they'd get stuck in the core. But, strategically dropping 4-5 loon clumps and heros as the dragon attack progressed to take out ADs while they were distracted by dragons has paid big dividends. I even tried it on my TH7 account with level 1 drags, level 1 rage, and level 3 loons. It worked very well there, too. I wish I would have watched OneHive YouTube videos a little bit sooner to get some ideas.

You have to target the closest air defence or target the one closest to the archer queen. In the last war I had a drag to contend with, if it didnt go down the raid was doomed however a rage spell on some cc wizards and it was curtains.....Plus take a jump spell to get the golem into the area where the air defence is that your heroes are going to take on.

As long as you kill a dragon (No other CC troops will wreck your raid) in the cc before you send the lava hounds and loons then the rest of the raid is pretty easy. Send in a laval hound on one side of the base, send in half of your balloons. Rage them if you like, then send the other 2 lava hounds onto the next air defence send in the rest minus 3 or 4, let that air defence go down and then its straight onto the last one where you can send in the last 4 loons........Until you try the attack it sounds weird but it is so effective that people are making youtube videos of it now.

No need to wait, lavahounds lvl 1 are still amazing. 5700 HP at level 1.

Because GoWiPE at TH9 is ♥♥♥♥. You don't get pekka higher than lvl 3 at TH9 which is actually useless for serious warplayers. You'd rather try GoWiWi, but again, there can be so much randomness interfering a perfect executed attack.

While GoWiX strategies still are warstrategies, their chances of getting constant 3-stars are greatly lower than Lavaloonion.

Hogs against strong TH9's is a joke, don't use them. Sure hogs can be of huge importance, but only as assistive troops, like taking out an AD, luring CC etc.

Ok, thank you for the advice, and good point about the Pekka level at th9, makes more sense now regarding gowipe not being that great for th9. It's time I started to play with air troops then. Cheers.

Our worst is 10wars losing streak.
what we did is we reformat our clan. coz we all using nice troops already in war. We kick out th rushers in our clan and recruit new members which are not rushed base and that made our clan get winning streaks in a row again coz we getting fair enemy in war. if ever we lose it will be because of a tight war with both clans good in war.

We'd have people pop in and tell us we suck at war after a while. It was THAT bad. Really only stuck around to hang out with a couple of friends that I had made there.

We ended up winning maybe 3 or 4 wars when a few of us learned how to use dragons properly, but we kept running into participation problems that got us back in the losing column. The leader had made almost everyone a co-leader and stopped playing, so there was nothing that anyone could do short of a mutiny to a new clan. So, through mutiny is how RedWhiteAndLoot was formed, and we're at 23 war wins and on a 6-2 run right now. Funny thing is that I just had 4 more co-workers join trying to escape the exact same thing in their clan. They've actually made us a lot stronger, and they're a good part of the reason that we've had some great wars since the clan XP update.

I salute you and the members who stayed through all the losses.
