What‘s this strategy called, and how do I implement it best?

[TullSadum]

Hi all,

in my legend league, I was racing another player, and we have been keeping head to head. But recently the other olayer managed to pull away significantly. I actually prefer ground attacks, but that other player is using air, their combo is
3 Hounds
30 Loons
rest is funnel and clean up
8 Minions
1 Babydrag, 1 Bowler, 2 Super WBs, 1 Wiz, 2 Arch

Now I‘d like to try that army too, but I do not know how, nor where to look for info on how to use that strat.
I do not even know, which Siege is best to go with that composition.

Please help me out.
Thanks!!

Depends on what the spells are too but that is either a zap lalo army or a sui lalo army. I would bet that he is using a zap lalo army since it is easier to use since people who can use sui lalo successfully in legends are generally very experienced lalo players.

If you wanted to try zap lalo, I recommend practicing in FCs and wars first, especially if you don't have much experience using lalo. It is a lot harder to pull off a zap lalo 3 star in legends because 30 seconds is simply not enough to plan any lalo attack, unless you are a very experienced lalo player. But here is usually my thought process when doing a legends zap lalo attack.

1. Determine where to zap. In higher legends, there are rarely any bases with juicy zap targets around the CC. Thus you need to get creative on where to zap. Often times, you will find that you need to zap somewhere else and need to engage the CC with your sui and left over lightning spells.

2. Determine where and how to best sui with your heroes. You have to look at the locations of the sweepers, TH, RC, AQ, BK, SS, EA, inferno towers, CC when determining this and decide how to get the most value out of your sui while creating the best path for your lalo stage. It is essential that you have a plan on how to take out the RC and AQ, whether with the sui or with headhunters in the lalo stage.

3. Decide which siege to use, which is usually a blimp to take down the TH or if you have already taken down the TH, then you can use a stone slammer. Crucial to remember that TH activates at 50% damage and your lalo army will fly past it if it doesn't activate.

4. Deploy the lalo army after the zap and sui stage. The deployment and pathing of the lalo is VERY important. You can have the best zap and sui in the world but if you don't know how to deploy your lalo army, it is useless and your loons will all clump up and die fast. You need to be fast, accurate, and calculated which only comes with practice. Spamming loons doesn't usually end up well and you will need to recognize exactly how many loons you will need to deploy on each spot to get you past a section.

5. Deploying minions for clean up after defenses are down, don't snooze on this or you will time fail.

So yeah as you might imagine, I usually only have enough time to plan the zap and sui portion. I need to wing the lalo deployment on the spot usually. zap lalo and lalo in general is very intolerant of errors and you need to be very precise in order to 3. All stages need to go perfectly usually, so zap lalo in legends is not as easy as it seems. Especially when you hit past the global 10k ranking and all the bases become extremely annoying to lalo with.

thank you very much, but as it is 5.600 cups, it‘s an experienced player, and spells are
5 freeze
3 haste
3 bats

so probably suiside Lalo.
(dang still don‘t know how to work that one, but now I can go looking in YT)
