Max defense TH9 wanting to transition to 3-star war attacks but needs help

Hi and thanks for looking.

I recently found Akiyume's article about clans getting to their "tipping point" where your clan's defense is improving but your offensive strategy is not, so you are no longer 3-starring all enemies and losing a lot of wars. If you have not read his article, I highly recommend it!

This is the exact situation my clan is in. I want to lead the charge to making us a more serious war clan so we stop losing every war by 4-5 stars. I have recently started reading about a lot of different advanced strategies but am still very inexperienced with any of them. For reference, here are some of the articles I have been reading:

1finite's "How to War at the Highest Level"

TheHulkFiles "Strategy: HoLoWiWi - A TH9 Base 3 Star Exploit"

akiyume's "Metaki Series - Unorthodox TH9 War Bases"

akiyume's "Base Break Down - Guide to 3-Star Meta-TH9 Bases [Creation and Dissection]"

I am still in the process of really absorbing all of the incredibly information and strategy in these articles. In the meantime, war is on! This is where I need help. I am tasked with attacking the following base:

Attachment 102639

This looks to me like a good candidate for HoLoWiWi. Is this a good strategy for 3-starring this base? If so, how would you go about the HoLoWiWi? If another strategy is better, what is it?

Here are my relevant troop levels:

Wizards - level 5
Golems - level 2 (level 3 in a couple days)
Balloons - level 6
Witches - level 2
Pekkas - level 3
Hogs - level 5
Lava Hounds - level 2
Lightning - level 5
Healing - level 5
Rage - level 5
Jump - level 2
AQ - level 15
BK - unavailable (being upgraded to level 20)
220 Camp Space + 30 CC + 4 spells


My HoLoWiWi plan is:
1) Loons on the lower left defenses: 3 on Wiz Tower, 1 on Archer Tower, 1 on left Cannon.

2) Loons on the lower right defenses: 3 on Wiz Tower, 1 on Archer Tower, ignore Cannon because other Loons will kill.

3) Loons on bottom defenses: 1 on Archer Tower, ignore Cannon because AT loon will kill.

4) Loons on top defenses: 2 on Archer Tower.

5) Loons on top left defenses: 3 on Wiz Tower, 2 on Archer Tower, 1 on Mortar, ignore top Cannon because other Loons will kill.

6) Loons on top right defenses: 3 on Wiz Tower, 2 on Archer Tower, 1 on Mortar, ignore top Cannon because other Loons will kill.

7) 2 Wall Breakers to break the corner in front of the Gold Storage.

8) 3 Witches, 5 Wizards, and AQ at the bottom to kill buildings, lure CC, and kill CC.

9) Skeletons, Witches, Wiz, and AQ will go towards the Gold Storage. AQ should pull them to the center. Drop a Rage to help get through the wall and kill BK/AQ.

10) 10 Hogs to clear out the center defenses and mop up the rest of the buildings. Use Heal to help keep them alive.

Total army:
27 Balloons (3 extra from above plan)
10 Hogs
3 Witches
5 Wizards
4 Wall Breakers (2 extras in case the first die to traps)
1 Archer
Spells: 1 Rage, 3 Healing

Concerns:
1) If there are Giant Bombs at the bottom of the center section in from of the TH and they kill my Witches, I am in trouble.

2) Where do I use the other 2 spells? Should I use them with some of the Loons, such as to help kill the top left and top right Wiz Towers? Or should I plan to use a Heal right near the TH while the troops are fighting CC, BK, AQ, and all the (likely) Teslas?

3) Is the kill squad (KS) of 3 Witch, 5 Wiz, AQ enough?

I will post an attack walkthrough, whether it goes well or poorly, after I attack.

Thanks!

Giant bombs are almost definitely located next to the wizard towers in the top left and top right compartments. He's using a fairly standard anti-drag/hog base modified from TH8. HoLoWiWi works. LoGoWiPe would be safer I think.

With LoGoWiPe, you don't need as many balloons because you can use GoWiPe from the bottom.

Drop a golem on the bot cannon (left side of it) and another golem on the bot archer tower (right side of it). Use wall breakers to open up the bot left and bot right compartments as well as open the spot where the bottom gold storage is.
Drop a few wizards to destroy the builder huts, lab, factory, and two defenses in the bottom middle. Let those wizards take out the bot left archer tower and bot left cannon.
Drop pekkas and heroes to go for the gold storage.
Once gold storage is down, drop a jump spell and a rage at the bottom corner. You want the top of the rage spell to be near the bottom of the town hall. Pekkas and king will be drawn to the queen and king. Drop a second rage spell that should be centered between the two xbows. Your 4th spell should be a heal. Use appropriately.

Once all your spells are down, use your balloons to take out the top defenses. Keep an eye on king's health and pop iron fist when necessary. Shouldn't have to use queen's spell for anything so wait till she gets stuck on a wall.

3 witches is too many if you are using such a small KS. Maybe drop one witch, add 2 barb and 2 hogs instead. 10 hogs is quite little to mop up everything.

Also, you only need 2 loons (one drop of bombs and 2 death splash) to kill a wiz tower. 27 loons is a lot to bring in a holo, try to cut down some and bring a few more hogs. If you can squeeze out enough unit space, one golem to lead the attack on core is great for clearing traps and tanking heroes.
