Max Hogs or Max Valks/TH9 Upgrade

Valks are my favorite unit and I absolutely crush with VaLoon and VaHoLo but they only work on certain bases. Hogs completely wreck on most bases but the learning curve is higher. Go hogs....also you can VaLoon with lvl 2 or 3 valks. You can't hog with lvl 3 or 4 hogs :p

First, I respect your opinion. Quick question.. You said "Valks only work on some type of bases"..?

Can you show me a base where Valks 'wouldn't work?'

Im from the Valkyrie clan \/alhalla and we currently have several champs using Valks compositions. I only referenced that cuz u brought up OneHive raids. They are an Awsome bunch, The Hulk visited us roughly a month or 2 ago. Right now we are pushing back to top 200 with Valk Comps. Some of us include hogs from time to time cuz like I said they are a great troop, but mainly for support at this cup level.

Not advertising, but since you brought up YouTube, you can also see some Awsome Valk raids on Daddy's channel from us the 3 times he visited and from a few other members/visitors that recorded their experiences :)

Again, we don't know the OP's TH level or Cup level (pushing or farming) so idk what his goals with troops would be.

Lastly, I will repeat what I said my last post: I'd rather have Maxed Valks to help strip an enemy core plus kill cc troops than have Max Hogs who need a heal spell after taking a few hits, or worse, hit with a GB :/

valks work on bases with large compartments and cores, they also work insanely well against bases with 2+ ADs in the same compartment. You need back end troops with valks (loons, hogs, or both). I like valks bc you don't need to cold blood with them or lure the cc. Valks can take out the AQ, CC troops, and ADs/DGB I typically use 1 golem (purely to tank for the Wizards to break the funnel and then tank a bit for the girls), 11-14 valks, 0-3 wall breakers, 3-10 wizards (you really have to clear a path for them, they like to go shopping). And then 14-20 back end loons/hogs/both my spells are almost always 1 jump 2 heal 1 rage. I heal when they engaged CC then rage/heal in core/high does area that I want to take down



between Shattered LaLoon and VaLoon/VaHoLo (and sometimes GoVaLo) I can three any 9...in not the greatest hogger so valks is what I worked :p

The he game isn't what it was before with hogs, and while they are a great troop to have at level 5; Valkyries have some Awsome stats when maxed and can be more versatile, depending on your level and area of play.

Since you mentioned clan wars, I'll speak on that. I don't know what your town hall is, you didn't mention, but I'm guessing either 9 or 10. Either town hall allows you to Max Valks and Hogs.

The reason I said to upgrade Valkyries first tho, is because they are the best troop in the game pound for pound when it comes to stripping out the core of an enemy base, there isn't much room for debate.
<SnippySnip>

last thing I will say is this, to sum it up. I'd rather add 4-5 Max Valks to your existing comp, headed to the core, than add 4/5 maxed hogs, who need a heal spell like an asthma pump after a few hits. Valkyries are true Warriors.

Just Curious, what is your VaLoon Compo? for a TH9 with L1 Valks (Max hogs, and Loons, L6 Royals) my Rusher acct, and for a TH10 with Max Valks,Hogs,Loons? almost all my camp space filled will have 235 in a day or so..

I am growing an affinity for the Glamazon Vixens in War, and for farming tbh, WiVaBarch FTW!

but would like to know how you go about deploying this VaLoon. (CB or Shattered with it?)
Thx in adv boss

Mass Hogs and valkyrie tornado are both good strategies. But it is advisable to upgrade hogs to lvl 5 first since many bases are closed type.

Depends on on the base trash buildings but

1 golem
13-14 (these two are pretty much standard for me)
3-10 wizards (depending on the funnel needed. Funneling them is the male or break portion of the raid)
0-3 WB
14-18 loons

1 jump
2 heal
1 rage


You ou don't need to lure cc or Cb the queen (the golem really just tanks for wizzies while they clear trash and does a little tanking for royals as well) valks under heal will shred queen and CC (ideally you won't hit them both at the exact same time. If you do rage/heal)

valks dont work well on highly compartmentalized bases since their power is from being able to destroy multiple buildings at once, but on those highly compartmentalized dragonflower bases surgical hog is usually the best strategy. and also im assuming he's a th9, if he's a th10 valks would probably be best

Thats my standard comp too. I used valks quite a bit. I choose to lure though...after having attacked a base that had a max dragons and 2 wizards...valks can be susceptible to that...given I did not bring a golem that time, which may have helped.

Max hogs coz they can be used more!

Do you bring your own Gol, or is this a CC req? if its your own, what do you bring in your CC, and how do you adjust the #s?
