Anyone confirm that lava pups will once again kill queen if they are raged up? (like the used to before they got nerfed)

I'm going to penta on the first decent-loot premie TH9 I see, so I 3 star even if the queen lives.
The nature of this update seems to be reviving air attacks, as dragons have been useless the whole time and now may be viable at higher levels, and lavaloon variants were killed by the second air sweeper. With a better poison spell, lavaloon users no longer need to worry about dragons in the clan castle (which they previously needed to use their queen to deal with) and the 25 walls will force more air attacks.
Hopefully Penta will make a come back, used to love that attack.
What I'm really looking forward to though is the AQ actually maybe attacking defending troops before the entire area is cleared.
On the contrary I've played in quite a few high level clans now, and I can tell you that the second air sweeper did not kill laloon. The update and bunny nerf did IMHO, the laloon attacks stopped within the hour of the update, midwar. Overnight people switched to hogs. Most guys didn't even have their sweepers built for a couple weeks. Some guys kept on the laloon raids, but on the whole, especially for a first attack, it just wasn't the same, not even close. NOTHING else had changed. You still find the odd guy good with a shattered on some bases, but prior to the update, it was the strategy to use at TH9.Quote:

1st attack 3 stars no cc but didnt go for AQ kill cos I wanted to see how the pups work. AQ was L10. Pups killed her. 3 stars.
2nd attack 2 stars. enemy cc was a max golem. Chose enemy AQ position where shes not sandwiched between defenses to see if pups chased her and she will not get killed by loon splash. She was pretty deep in core and owned the penta killing loons and pups as the hounds burst. I was going for the DE tank and brought in heroes last to cleanup. Got TH and DE. But yeah main thing to tell was no 3 stars.
verdict is.. if there was a dragon in cc u cud lure and kill with heroes as KS, u can spam pentalaloon if the AQ is within defenses. But if shes not, and you dont lure cc, goodluck.
I attacked on war just after the update with Pentalavaloon and yes, lava pups killed the AQ! ;) (AQ was near the core of the base)Quote:
