‘Spam’ BoWitch vs AQ walk BoWitch , which BoWitch works for you?

[AxsMan]

All the talk of ‘spam’ attacks making the game too easy/predictable/boring set me to thinking, well which strat works best?

my usual war attack (th12, 60/60/30 maxed troops and spells) is AQ walk with BoWitch, primarily because its a pretty certain 2 star (certain against anti 3 bases) and sometimes gets me the triple. It also burns DE which I don’t have any use for these days.

but I wondered if the AQ walk section of the attack really made much difference?

so I spent a couple of hours today FC attacking my clan mates and minis, with different combinations of BoWitch with and without the AQ walk to start it.

the end results were quite clear cut. Lose the healers and replace with a golem and a few more bowlers , send in golem ahead of ww with heros, spam out bowlers and witches behind and I got a higher percentage 2 star almost every time along with a couple of triples.

so maybe the lesson is that my queen walk needs improvement? Or maybe spamming in the BoWitch is actually a better strat?

Anyone else tried making the comparison for themselves?

Don’t honestly think it matters a whole lot either way, with biggest factor being whether you’re actually spamming it or not. If you remove certain objectives with the queen charge in a timely manner, the queen charge attack usually bests the straight up bowitch. If you’re honestly throwing hail marys with blind drops and no thought, then you’re probably wasting troop space with the healers, and better of letting luck run its course.

We are a casual clan doing both at clan wars.
From my experience, aq walk intro creates a good funnel on one side, thus narrows the bowitch path, thus makes bowitch more effective.

But the tradeoff is that it s more risky. Black air mines, single infernos, multiple xbows.. all a threat to your aq and healers... You need to have an eye on such things. Easier and less risky to just spam them all...

both good for high percentage 2 stars most always.. more 3 stars with aq walk intro (for us)

I use spam BoWitch when a base is clustered together or symmetrical, AQ BoWitch when a base has islands or other compartments where the main force can't access easily. But it's really frustrating that I usually run out time with AQ bowitch, since the queen walk uses alot of rage spells, so the main force only has a few rages left which means it's a slow attack.

I use queen walk on one side and golem/wizards on the other to create the funnel and bowitch behind the WW, king and warden.. works out well ..usually..

Anything with a queen walk / queen charge is a better attack than a spam attack. Probably a question of how you're using the queen. you want to use her to clear out as many critical defenses as she can reach, for bowitch it's going to vary quite a bit by base design and townhall level.
