offense is op at th9 and below, and an attack strategy we are using

Thanks, think its the asymmetry of the bases I've tried it on. Trying it with heroes snoozing doesn't help either...

Zapquake is probably a good option for asymmetrical air defs, might play around with that too. I'm generally happier with golaloon or gobolaloon, but I've got some guys that should probably be doing Hail Mary straight laloons.

In my opinion you cant beat a good kill squad @ th9. There is too much unnecessary risk with leaving the enemy AQ up and depending on poisons to kill the clan castle in an air raid. Maybe you can get away with it as a th10 hitting a th9 on a regular basis with lvl 3 hounds, but with the addition of the second airsweeper, straight lavaloon can be really hard to pull off on a quality base.

Penta with rages works on outdated, symmetrical layouts. Queen Pop (ZapQuake, Quad Lava) works really well on anything with AQ between 2 AD, but can 3 star almost anything with practice. Did these with 10/10 heroes. One was 66 defense weight, the other 68.

Tried a bit to replicate the penta attack discussed, anyone making it work? Maybe its the bases I tried, but committing enough loons to get an air def on the pull leaves me with too few to finish so far.

suicide heros, quad lava, more loon. ymmv

also, look for WT that cover a AD. ( huge nono these days )

I one Upped myself. 3 star with 2/2 heroes:

Lol, nice! An end-of-raid screenshot with your army comp would be better than the profile.

The best bases are dipped, 10 bowlers and any TH9 base is done, regardless of what heroes the attacker has, only skill needed. Most common bases can be easily bowler-walked by a TH9, those anti-3 with ADs on one side of the base are easy meat to this strategy. Then once 2 ADs are down, send 3 hounds and heal spells to win the base. Sometimes you can't do that so a zapquake is needed, but heal spells dominate as well. Sometimes cc hog+heal can take out an AD easily and lure cc at the same time.

How does a TH9 bring 10 bowlers against another TH9?

LOL, SOD uses a TH10 to kill off the TH9

I believe the word "dip" was in his post, you're not exactly finding out a stunning secret.

It often takes a dip to clear my th9, sometimes our th9s struggle and we need to dip. Wouldn't need to if we were all 3 star specialist champs, but hey I work with what I've got.
