Best army composition for double zap quake?

As many of you know, with the new dark spell donation, a TH9 can now take down two AD's guaranteed before deploying a single troop with 4 lightnings and 2 earthquake. So after that, you need an army comp that can survive taking down 2 AD's, the AQ, CC troops, all remaining defenses, and traps. With absolutely no spell support. And hopefully enough troops remaining to destroy every other building in time.

What do you think the best troop composition to handle that task? I've already tried 2 golem + 8 wiz + 4 WB and heroes to take down the AQ, CC and 1 AD. Then 2 Lavas to distract the last AD, and 18 baloons as main offense. The balloons couldn't handle the rest of the base without dying even with no AD threat (note I sent the lavas from 2 opposite directions on the last AD to soak up as may traps as I could).

How are you deploying your loons?

I'm yet to experiment with the double zapquake; finally have a reason to upgrade my LS. I really just hate the thought of loons with no rage or haste though. Seems extreeeemely situational.

ive seen youtube replays using dragons instead of loons, and no hounds.

right base of course..

Hmm. This seems equivalent to the good ol' all dragon + 1 AD zap for th8. Even then that was hit and miss, and that was without extra th9 defenses.

One hive has good army comp for double zapquake.
I did it once and run out of time because I took 2 lavas, should have took 1 lava and minons instead of 2nd lava.
Get dragons to 4, zapquake 2 ad, one with cc golem queen and king, 4th you can do with dragons and 4 loons.

I think this attack depends heavily on numbers. I was successful in pulling off this attack against a mid-TH9 last war with no issues. I used 26 balloons, only one golem and one lava. I had my king, so I used it to tank instead of a second golem. Since I did not have my AQ, I used more wizards to take care of the CC. Had to also use more WBs too, because his AQ was deeper in and no more jump with this strat.

If you have both heros, I think you will be fine with one golem in most cases. Also I think two lavas for one AD was overkill. You need more balloons now and you need to spread them so the traps do not take down groups of them. Remember, you do not have the lavas to tank all of the traps anymore, so strength comes from numbers. Try and use as much balloons as you can.

This strategy does not work for max Th9's unless the base is really exposed to it. Your average TH9 this wont work. You're literally sacrificing ALL your spells for 2 defenses... This is like a max attack without the Max part.

Well, Jake did it, quite easily. He could have done it with max attack too I'm sure.

Gonna give his comp a try.

I would like to point out that the replay you posted WAS a prime target for this, like I was saying... He was fortunate enough to be able to get 2 airdefs with his golem phase, had he not, this raid is over

Depends on the level of the xbows as well and whether or not they are set to ground, u also need to consider how deep into the base the archer queen and cc troops are, if ur kill squad need to get deep into the base with no spells it almost defeats the object of the whole attack. Ur actually better off using a mass dragon/dragoonloon attack in this scenario as the dragons are gonna take out the archer queen and cc troops in the process. If anything replace the 2 golems 8 wizards and 4 wall breakers with dragons, come in from the side the 2 air defences have been destroyed wait until the dragons have taken out the cc troops and queen and then deploy the lavahounds and loons
