Hogs are NOT dead.

[Sefirot33]

After luring CC, with 40 Hogs and 4 heal spell, I suppose we can 3star any th9 base (with no double Gbomb)
2 Star a th10 with discos, is now impossible.

The reason hogs were a problem was cuz the one troop in mass could 3 star many bases along with spells. I don't know any other troop that could do that. When most of the th9 bases on this forum were to combat one troop and those bases didn't work for me anyways, I'd say their op. I used Lvl 1 hogs nd three starred a th8 as a th7. A maxed one at that so. I think it was needed.

Hogs will always survive! Low level hogs taken a hit tho.

BUT Level 1 hogs are the kings of TH8...look at this ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥

A decently designed base at th9 and up will still poop on hogs. You raided a base with not a single interior giant bomb which means you didnt even have to deal with the biggest nerf. Try that same raid against a base with bombs on the inside in many possible locations and you wont have any results.

Thanks for the criticism. This video was before the nerf but it wouldn't have mattered. Like I said in the video, its all about placement and trap prediction. Also why I said that they are the kings of TH8 where the amount of traps are odd and easily predicted. If my hogs can take out 2/3 of the defenses then I have won because any good player will have back up troops.

I have been working on replay screen caps all day. I plan to update the thread some time soon, when i have enough. I have been looking for th9, lvl 10+, central heroes, with active bases. I have some decent examples and some bad ones.

heroes really arent too bad. The BK gets outrun and is mostly a non-issue. The queeny however, can kill lvl 4 hogs in 2-4 shots, even under a heal. Added to her range, it makes her dangerous. If you can keep the hogs moving, she isn't much of an issue, but if the hogs linger in her zone, aided by xbows and WTs, she will really hurt your hogs.

Big bombs, big bombs really hurt. You need to be quick with the heal for single bombs, and forget double bombs. But don't dispare, it just means probing first for bombs and setting them off first is very important.

I have been able to two star antihog designs, fairly consistantly, with lvl 8-10 heroes and bombs(not many th9s have much better than that, from what im seeing). Probe for bombs and clear more than half the towers, maybe two whole sides worth. Then deploy heroes and wizzies, along with whatever else you have left, to goto the center. The BK/AQ combo, along with wizzies, is often enough to clear the core and grab the TH, even if the center towers are still intact.

When i have enough captures, i will update the thread.

of course a good design will still hurt, hogs didnt get a boost or anything. Taking on a good, antihog design, with hogs, was a bad idea before and even more so now. But i have been getting good success, even with good designs. I plan to update the thread when i have enough to share.

edge bombs can be probed for. The winning punch isnt the hogs, it is the heroes and back up you deploy after the hogs have cleared many of the towers, 50%+. A solid BK/AQ combo with wizzies going into the core is doing a great job grabbing the TH and gaining two stars and much of the loot.

bases and results like this, only level 4 hogs...

Next time post some vids/screenshot of you 3* someone active with either
- a decent base design
- heroes lv15+
please.

I had a look at those people you listed, and I found this:
-None of them has even a remotely good base design (no double bombs whatsoever, and I don't even talk about the level of those bombs)
-None of them has heroes level combined equal or higher than yours (most have heroes far from the cores, average about lv3-7, those are way, way too weak to clear out hogs)
-Some of them are inactive for a while, so no traps/cc troops either.

Facing a bit more challenging base, and your hogs are dead.

well.... obviously

with the new update, attacking anti-hog base with mass hog is stupid
it's like you attacking a th with double single inferno+max airdefense+up max xbow with mass dragon

choose target wisely

Hogs are certainly not dead. 35 lvl 2 hogs just got 100% on my maxed TH8 base.
