Hello, I have all troops and spells maxed for TH9 except valkyrie, and I heard that surgical hogs is one of the best strategies at TH9. I am great with hogowiwi but not so great with any other strategy involving hogs so I am asking for some tips on how to 3 star maxed TH9 with any strategy using hogs except for gohowiwi. Shouldn't be that hard right? Thanks :cool::cool::cool:
Using only hogs and wiz for clean up as TH9 is a big NO! Specially when the queen is centralized.
You are already using Hogowiwi that can 3s even a MAX TH9.
Just the basics for Hogging.
1. Kill CC
2. Kill Queen
3. Let the hogs do the rest.
Surgical Hogging watch and search in Youtube "OneHive GoHoWiWi".
Basically you use a mini army with a golem or two and your heroes backed by a few wizzies to get in and kill the queen, right as the queen is about to go down, you send your hogs in. Heroes and golem killed queen and as a bonus they tank for your hogs.
Mass hogs is the out of date strategy. But you can three star th8 with it.
Basically you tank with Golems and have your heroes then Wizards follow behind. The idea is to get to the center and kill the AQ and CC troops. After that you tank the other 3 sides with Giants followed by Hogriders. If you do it correctly its a very effective strategy.
Mini GoWiWi ( 1 golem, 5-7 wiz, 1-2 witch) and hogs. Let this destroy cc and aq but as aq is about to go down send in hogs. Spells should be 3 heal 1 rage or 4 heal. Use 1 spell for you mini GoWiWi. Good luck. This is a 3 star strategy if done correctly but the golem should be level 3.
hogs are not really much use now at higher levels, loons are much better and dont have to contend with ground defences
Thanks everybody, now I know why I one starred a TH9 last war :smirk: but yeah I didn't know mass hog didn't work anymore, so i pulled the cc troops and killed the bk, and used rest hogs. no extra troops went into the base, so bad idea. thanks guys :D
I am gonna disagree with that statement. If a base has a very strong anti air layout and defenses, hogging as explained by the previous posts is very effective and a viable 3 star strategy against many maxed th9 bases.Quote:

Agreed, its very obvious that mass hogs as used in the olden days (you know, the time of Attilla the Hog :facepalm: ) is a dead strategy only employed against very weak and poorly designed bases. Goho/Gohowiwi/Holowiwi, etc is still a very viable strategy if done the right way as you mentioned.
