I thought hogs were nerfed when the big bombs got their upgrades? Yet I see a lot of people using them again, which Im happy about:) Go hog riders! There should be special forums for the different attackers: hog riders, balavanians, gowipes, barchers, healer/giant/heroes, and whatever army combos I've missed. Once again, go hog riders:)!!!! Ride on my friends, ride on.
Hogs were never gone lol. People just got ♥♥♥♥♥♥ when mass hogs became obsolete and stopped using them because they weren't willing to learn how to attack post-update.
^^ This for sure. They didn't nerf hogs, they buffed giant bombs. You are no longer able to /faceroll deploy hogs for a three star anymore. It takes more skill now to use hogs effectively.Quote:

I have recently had trouble against th9s with max hogs. I never used to. What tips can you give me please?
Jstella8. Th9. LVL 104. Max hogs.
Clan. Clowncar Riders. LVL5
Pick a base with minimum tile space between each defence. If unavoidable, wait for a GB to pop up and deploy heal spell immediately. GL!Quote:

You cant really use strait hogs on Most TH9s. At least not on any of the "good" Bases.
You either have to Hogowiwi, or Surgical hog.
How to use Hogs in the present:

Even as TH8 I'm using surgicals now and than or hybrids like GoHo, HoLo or GoViz-Ho a lot - sure mass hogs still work, but why start using better tactics first when being TH9?
That way I think I can just go on, with smaller changes, instead of learning from zero again.
Already started successful hog attacks back when they were just level 2, they are 4 since a couple weeks, have an average above of 5 stars every war with hogs.
Also using GiBarch-Ho for farming/trophys, got about 8-12 hogs with, ok that way I need to raid for 800 DE or more, but it works fine.
Think Hogs never been outrolled...
HHOOOOOOGGGG RRRRIIIIIIIDDDDDEEEEEEEERRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!
Edit:
since I almost 3* every war attack I started fight the clock - hogs are great for that, in last war blew away a almost max TH8 within one minute.
Were they ever really gone? :smirk:
