I like to get lots of practices in.... with goWiPe i will gem my barracks, BK, and spells for 2 hrs and i'm able to squeeze in 7 attacks in 2 hrs.


so with GoWiVa whats the theory on valks > pekka. are 3 valks better then a pekka? Its actually intriguing thinking about it. 6/9 valks instead of 2/3 pekka. the real drawback that jumps out is DE cost. that will push the DE cost in the 1800 range (UGGH).... but i'm still intrigued if it can cover some bases that a pekka cant. or even using a hybrid of the two. a few questions if you are familiar with the attack.....

• Does their splash damage help keep them central? Pekkas REALLY like to stray. I could see the tendency of valks to go in between buildings to keep it going more towards center
• how long to they last?? Its more units but less HPs. I see this as having to use heal earlier. The reason i like GoWiPe is that i can use my two heals after the half way point. and when well timed, i have full HP on my pekkas and king for the second half of the attack. with valks i see the heals being used much earlier to keep more of the group alive
• their DPS and HPs are fairly equal when broken down to unit cost. Are valks more efficient in any way? I see wiz tower being the biggest problem for valks. Even though small, their splash damage could add up quickly on a group of 5+ valks
• Is the attacks strategy different? Or does it follow the same general strat as a Wipe

I'll prob think of more... Honestly, thinking it through in my head, i like it. I just dont see it as a regularly used attack solely based on DE cost. and rarely being able to practice in on regular bases.... and any attack i regualarly use in war, i like to "play" with a couple hundred times on regular bases...

You can't gowiva like a gowipe. Now the bulk of your dps is coming from valks and you don't need as many Wizards, and heal spells are far more effective. Typically we run earthquake govalo where we beat up the core with all the ads (eqs to get there) and heal the valks in the core, so you have 12+ max health valks while loons or hogs surgically take out the remaining defenses tanked by the valks.

I think that GoWiPe is not a 3* attacks. It's designed to be a guaranteed 2*. Some people just get lucky when they GoWiPe and get a 3. I prefer to use Mass Hogs or GoHo.

I think the reason its a "2 star" attack, is because people treat it as such.... they target the TH, focus on breaking through to the core, and getting the TH down.....
When I attack, I pay no attention to TH... 90% of the time I hit the CC dead on, to clear it, and go with my attack from there... not caring about the TH because it will get cleared like any other non-defensive building. I rarely, if ever, lure the CC...

And the streak is on again, 4 in a row..... including a crappy TH9

This base is not an easy or lucky 3 star with gowipe to anyone that thinks this. You have to know exactly what you're doing to 3 star this as th8.

I'd be utterly delighted to see videos of just, say, the past 10 straight 3* attacks & also clearly document that this is from the past five straight wars...

Its not unbelievable, I've had 4-5 perfect wars in a row and could say how someone could do 20 in a row.

You've got to be kidding me.

I've gone on a streak of ~6 wars being perfect too. 20 is a far cry from that, 4x that to be specific. How you can correlate 4x-5x to 20x makes me shake my head. This isn't algebra and simply generating a slope of the line and assuming it happens all the time. No one is perfect and ♥♥♥♥ happens.

I have far less a problem saying he's consistent with it. 40 straight 3* attacks? Hell, he could use any attack in his entire arsenal and that would be something I'd very much like to see

Further, videos of these attacks are what interest me.
