Lava hound 3-STAR attack strategy (destroy max town hall 10)

[Saukin94]

I usually release 1 or 2 minions in the most likely air bomb site, if no luck, hopefully the hound will trip them --- they are there to take fire/heat away from minions afterall.......

(Plenty of 2 stars with hound/minion, but have only 3 starred lower th bases .... so far)

2 stars vs what strength? I must say it sounds like a fun army might try it myself 😂

Managed 2 stars against TH9... (midish, not max)

3 stars against a tough TH8

.... Max rage helps though, Raging minions can be awseome, esp when a hound is taking all the hits from AD/Whizz towers etc.....

can't wait to get hounds maxed out


(TH9 myself, minions lvl5, rage maxed, hounds still only lvl1)

Sounds more fun than feeasble. That army would cost 2k+ de!! Haha I will 100% be trying it for fun though!

Trying to get Balavion down but feel the balloons aren't strong enough and hounds don't last! will try some more and keep researching I have faith in my air troops, there is an air army combo as reliable as GoWiPe (apparently it's a reliable 1/2 star on virtually any base if used right). My determination will pay off!!

Yes.. it's more for fun..


There are a few youtube videos for it... (using maxed troops..but you get the idea....)

p.s ... video not me, I need to find out how to do screen grab/recording

So I tried this strategy for the first time today during clan wars, snatched 2 two stars. I'm currently warring in a war clan with most ppl being th 9 and a few th8, about only 7 peeps being th 10. Very limited choices for my attacks, both bases had max defense and multi-mode infernos on. I released two hounds first to take out all the bombs, they are kinda more effective in that sense as ground bombs wont trigger unless you step on them ( hence big bombs well placed can be deadly) , air bombs will find those flying piggies. Definitely a very fun strategy and versatile!

Thanks for replying back! I'm yearning to learn a new technique, and lava hound seems to improve my favorite bloonion strategy -- maybe they are not useless at all!

So I spent sometime last night going through your videos and a top player's videos posted in the first page of this thread. You guys happen to have the 'opposite' strategy. You prefer to drop the lava hound behind balloons but the other player drops lava hound first (he calls it flying piggy). I guess ultimately it's a personal choice which ones you protect, and it hugely depends on the layout of opponent's base design. Thanks again! We have a war happening soon in my war clan and I may use the lava hound and see how it turns out, excited!

Great man, your posts very detail, appreciate this. And yes, dropping lava hound before or after loons is depend on the base which we attack, we must investigate the base carefully before real attack . And I'm making the new version for Lava Hound, with a some different versus previous chapters

Only getting a chance to reply now busy day haha! No worries buddy thanks for the effort! My King is lvl 10 Queen is 4 days away from lvl 16! also to the other poster about hounds and minioms do air bombs not mess up that army? Haha my golems are only lvl 1 so GoWi__ doesn't work for me at the moment haha

Yeah, upgrade Golem & Pekka will take a long time, so just use air troops first, then upgrade them later

Lvl 1 golem is not the end of the world, gowipe and gowiwi really depend on timing and placement of spells. As for the seeking air mine and air bombs, the heal spell will definitely help. Also with so many balloons, you will need to split troops up instead of dumping all of them in the same location (eggs vs. baskets!). In the tutorial he posted, the troops were split into at least 2, sometimes 3 batches.

Strongly agree with u, don't release troops in the same location, they will die all lol.

Haha, this will great if minis can distract some air traps for loons lol
