Sneak peeks!!!:d

They looked overpowered.

[MoustacheMike]

Yes, unlike a Golem - the Lava Hound has traps to worry about. Plus its path is super easy to predict


EDIT: It will be interesting to see how this dog is best used. As with the golem its power is in what it protects


Minions - probably great with these since the hound dog seems to be melee, that means it will dis distract those pesky wizard towers. But minions are still inferno bait

Balloons - again probably a good combination as loons take pretty significant damage trying to close in on those AD. But with 30 housing space and both targeting defenses it'll be different than wizards and golems


Dragons - I think they will continue to suck. VS th9 they might make a killer combo but Dragons are already great tanks with low DPS. Its not like dragons are the PEKKA to the lava hounds. Still a combination of all 3 of these troops may prove very effective.

My prediction

2-3 Dogs with 16-20 loons plus minions. Possible 2 dragons worked in.

Lets see...

3 Dogs - 90 Space

20 Loons - 100 space, total 190

2 Dragons -230...., lets put one in the CC here 210

15 Minions with another 7 in the CC

Hmm....

2 Dogs

20 Loons

2 Dragons

30 minions

Yup that sounds interesting with some rages and a freeze worked in. Dragons can deal with the CC, Loons, defenses, minion provide the DPS

Or

3 Dogs - 90 space

6 Dragons - 210 Space, put one in the CC... 190

25 minions plus 7 in the CC

That could be killer... maybe. But like I said dragons aren't big damage dealers. Still this should spank a base with infernos fairly easily with proper deployment and bad AD coverage

Very well put, I was thinking about the exact same comps. Looking forward to trying it, but it will take a while to max them. I expect 10 days for level 2 and 14 days for level 3. With DE costs too match. Which isn't helpful atm, since im doing heroes But I'm loving all the new doors this opens. With the raids I'm seeing today from the best of the war clans, this could be the beginning of airborn 3 stars... We'll have to wait and see, I guess.

Cheers, Rock.

I've personally parted ways with two very dear clans since CW came out. I definitely get that Clans can be about more than competitive Clashing because that is not how I play the game. The Clash team understands this as well.

Leaders selecting who can go to war presents it's own set of cons. For example, a leader could abuse that power of selection to the wrong end. A leader could consistently leave out a single player that he/she does not particularly like. I honestly think the solution you are suggesting would make the problem ever worse, and that's what we'd like to avoid.

We're extremely aware that this is something we need to look into, and we will, just not until we start working on the next round of Clan Wars features in the future.

Wouldn't the leader just kick them out of the clan if they don't like someone? They already do that now if the person doesn't want to be in the war...

Since when were dragons not viable? They might not be the most powerful attack out there but they are one of the easiest to get 1-2 star. If anything the only reason why they might not be viable is due to the high cost.. I usually use them just to keep my storages low on elixir after completing all elixir items/upgrades on my th10. Although that changes in a few days and now I don't have to waste it on drag attacks.. Time to upgrade walls. Such a game changer.

Educate yourself jr.

64 stars in 12 wars and I'm a poor attacker?
LOL...

Lots of clans don't participate anymore in clan wars. Just because your little clan does then great for you.
If you actually got out and visited some high lvl clans you would learn this but my guess is your a th08 that has a big mouth and thinks the world is your oyster.

Carry on troll

12 wars with 6 clan war wins? Mediocrity. Gross.

[Bodhilv]

thats not whats being said, i read the op as being aimed at people who have written off the troop already


well in your analogy you havent had a chance to see the movie yet, only the trailer

We'll see. I don't use air troops myself but my clan does use them in wars. I want a new, dark troop which can be used broadly and effectively. This could be that troop, but insisting that it shouldn't written it off is just as unfair as insisting that it's a complete flop.

What I'm saying is the the initial, organic reaction suggests that this reveal is underwhelming to the majority of active players.

Apparently reading is not your strong suit.

New attack strategy: Lava hound mass attack plus rage spells

[Tchoa]

Watch chief pat vids on lava hound ..

Imba air troops , crazy hp although dmg looks low ..

able to tank and distract air def untill loon tear down outer tower , and take down the air def as well..

air def are usually place deep inside base , sure within range of cc , 1 hound can tank and lure all cc troops out , next loon minion hound to eat the base .. (Cc troops is biggest threat to loon minion atk , hound solve all the problem )

And th9 can get hound zzzzz .. If sc no intro better def for th10 .. Just update purely on offsense .

All base can hardly win a def ..

You're RIGHT !

We need more than a new lvl on Arc Tower !

I agree that its underwhelming but its incredibly frustrating seeing 80% of the people on here whining for the sake of whining, and strangley enough it leads to threads like this which complain about that. Then what happens? The people who were crying about whatever (it's not exclusive to this troop by any means) start whinging yet again
