so the main provlem I see is that you used a farming/push LaLoon composition.

In war for LaLoons to work (and by work I mean three star) you need to do the following

1) Kill the Archer queen...she will wreck you
2) Kill the CC (I know I said dont use witches I'll get to that in a bit)
3) Have 1 hound per AD plus 1 additional hound

so sure you could lure the CC then use witches to kill it and what not but it will take up way to many troop slots and the queen is still alive.....

what you should do is this

use a golem kill squad (1-2 golems, 0-3 wall breakers and 3 wizards...cookie cutter set up...might need to tweak it) and send it towards enemy archer queen. Use the golem(s) to tank for wizards while they clear a path allowing your King to head towards enemy AQ. Use wall breakers and a jump as needed. You King kills the their queen.by this time the CC should empty and lock onto your golem. Drop a lightning on them and if theirs a dragon use queens ability your King and Queen will mop up any left overs
Next
Now your queen should take out 1-2 ADs. If you use 1 golem she takes out 1 if 2 then 2....


now all of those things should happen quickly...

next send in the hounds. If you used 2 golems you take 3 hounds of you used 1 golem you take 4

lets just say you took 2 golems and have 3 hounds

there are two ADs left and they should be somewhat next to each other.

Send 2 hounds towards one and release your loons 1v1 against all towers that the hounds are tanking. Use a rage to get loons to first AD while releasing 3rd hound to the last AD and some more loons. (You'll have like 10 loons so save 4-6 for 3rd hound)

work them hem in a clockwise manor. This helps keep your pups alive. You'll have a few spots left over so use them as trash clean up. Release them at this point.

Here is a typical Shattered (2 golem) LaLoon build

kill squad

2 golems (1 golem plus 1 maxed golem in CC. Golem level>hound level)
3 wizards
3 wall breakers
1jump
1 lightning

Main force

3 hounds
16 loons
2 goblins
2 rage

This is the way to go. Excellent advice and works well for me.

The AQ problem will usually take care of itself. If the pups aren't close enough to be attracted to her, there's a still a pretty good chance she'll be standing near a defensive building and the balloon splash will get her anyway.

Not really a sure-fire method, but Dart's Penta setup is much easier for LavaLoon beginners to get the hang of, especially if they are a low-ish level TH9. Fewer moving parts and more room for error IMO by not using a Kill Squad and burning two spells just on CC and AQ kill.

Recommended Setup:

4 hounds [Bring 5th one in your CC]
20 loons [a couple can be substituted with Giants/Hogs for CC lure]
4 Rage

Penta is much easier to pull off if the lure isn't very expensive or difficult. Use the Royals to take out the CC in the corner after luring, and your AQ will most likely stay alive for mop-up duty.

2 hounds per AD from the side you are deploying your loons from, then release the fifth Hound on the remaining AD nearest the AQ side.

I'll be the first to admit I need to step up my game and learn the CB/Shattered attack style, but I've never been the greatest with zapping the CC to begin with, and it's just so fun and easy to exploit bases with Penta while I still can.

Simple! U lured bad! Bad troop deployment. And spells just got wasted so as the heroes.

pentalaloon would have killed that base without a.q kill and the a.d kill with hogs.
no nid to a.q kill as the xbows are down pretty good chance that some of the 52 lava pups would last and live longer for it to maim and kill the a.q not mentioning the splash that the loon might give to the a.q of the opponent.

should've lured cc with 2 hogs and compressed with single cap troops. then kill with balloon kamikaze the groundtroops use a.q or minion to kill the cc balloon.

and voila deploy the penta lavas and the loons.. With good spell timing and placement should've 3 starred that no sweat.

16 loons 4 lava 2 hogs/giants(luring) 3 arc 2 barb.
4 rage spells
CC lava hound maxed.

pretty standard pentalaloon composition.
