It really depends on what type of base you see/attack more.
Valks are more for open bases with buildings clumped, where hogs are for small "compartments" with 1-3 buildings in between the walls. For example:
Hogo

Govatch

There are more 3 star strategies involving hogs. Plus hogs are cheaper to upgrade.
Eventually you'll need both to be versatile in your war attacks.
Tbh I don't really pay attention on base I attack. I love farming and I farm a lot. But wanted to try new troop composition, specially in wars because using GoWiPe and GoWiWi makes me bored :)Quote:

I don't understand how opinion is so divided in this thread. Upgrading hogs to 5 will allow you to 3 star far more consistently than valks.

Oh I totally agree. For war the most important troops for a th9 in this order are
1) loons
2) hogs
3)golem
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay less important
4) witch
5) valk or hound
>_>
honestly a good hogger is the most dangerous warrior in the game
well im sorry to say but surgical hogs are the best threestar strat vs th9s along with golaloon currently...Quote:

also with hogs the chance at threestar is way higher once you learn how to use them while valks can only three star certain bases, so if you confined yourself to valks you would only be able to three star aginst a small percentage of bases. with hogs you would be a better asset to your clan.
against th10s hogs are also a viable strategy to threestar with a couple of golems to tanks inferno beams, but when was the last time you've seen a max th10 get threestarred with valks...yeah i dont remember either:p.
i dont know when you last used hogriders but in the current meta valks simply dont stand a chance against them.
EDIT: heres a video showing a max th10 getting threestarred by hogs

That was a nice raid, i give credit where its due, but that base wasn't 3 starred by hogs, as advertised, it was 3 starred by Max Heroes Bro. Not to take anything away from it but its easy to smash a base up with MAX heroes man.
You said:
"surgical hogs can three star almost any th9 base, but you just cant say that with valks."

That is a MID townhall 9 clannie of mine 3 starring TH9 on his way to CHAMPS
A few of the bases were even maxed, but if you want me to lay it on with full replays of Maxed Th9's getting 3 starred no problem.
The OP didn't ask "Which Troop is better" he asked which troop should they upgrade to max first. I never said hogs sucked, i gave them credit where its due. You should do the same with valks instead of talking out your rear end and taking away from your own credibility.
If Valkyries were such a bad troop, would Daddy have visited us 3 times to make videos?
Here are two of them:

Even your Top Guy, The Hulk, who is really cool, came to visit our clan out of respect for what we do.
Please stop embarrassing your clan who we respect, and start making informed comments about troops you have experience with yourself.
Lastly, Hogs are Great, Valks are great, but to the OP upgrade Valks first:thumbsup:

Currently I have 3 stared 3 bases with VaLo, Shattered and Stoned (the 1st two were weaker Th10 but the last one was decent strength)
EDIT: You do know OneHive does VaLo attacks at Th9, right? I run \/alhall and we occasionally get a OneHive member. Milanese was one of our originals from their.
Though, watching your video you do give me some ideas how to get my HoVa attacks from 75-90% to 100. :)
I'm an avid valk user and have been using VaLoon and VaHoLo (even VaLaLo...not anymore) since probably December but there is no way you should ever upgrade valks before hogs or loons.
valk hybrids are a specialized attack used only for certain bases (2+ ADs in same compartment, queen and dgbs in same, GoHo able bases with a hard to reach queen etc). Plus you can get away with lvl 2 valks you can't get away with lvl 3-4 hogs
Valks beed loons ions or hogs to get the third star
ps who is this daddy guy I keep hearing about?
