What in the hour since I posted? Sorry was busy with having a life.
Thank you for the vids rather than the dumb sniping offered by others. Unfortunately they're pretty useless for tips because 480 resolution is just a blurry smear on my monitor, but I take the point that they can useful at th10. If anyone has videos at a decent resolution I'd still like to see them.
So I'll be more specific because I should have been in the OP, I have a maxed TH9 base and at TH9 I'm not convinced they're worth it at this level with the lower unit cap and no freeze spells. In answer to another reply, lv2 *is* maxed at TH9. And given they're available at TH9 it would be be good if they could contribute, without needing freeze spell and maxed heroes to back them up. If there are decent videos that show I'm wrong, please do share.
As a th9 i use hounds with loons minis and 2 dragons, usually a better 2 star where as just loonion, drags or a combo of the two was a hit or miss for 2 stars. They do help, even if its that slight advantage, its an advantage none the less.
As always its in the base you attack, and placement of the troops. You want videos? Go on youtube or the attack strategy section of the forum.
Unfortunately I think they are only worth it at th10 when paired with high lvl heroes and freeze spells etc... As a th9, I'd rather take 6 more loons in that space.
Like vinny says, the lava hound is a very viable unit. You want replays? Go to youtube, there's tons of them there. Vinny himself has a replay of a two star on a max base with hounds and loons.
The key is in how you use them. If you deploy the hounds first then balloons or drags, of course it's going to die quickly! Strong air defenses and archer towers deal out some serious damage. They need to be deployed after your other units as they fly very quickly and will catch up in no time. I can't truly vouch for them as I haven't unlocked them yet, but I've discussed the hound with enough people and seen enough youtube replays to know that they are a very powerful strategy!
*hounds are a very common two star strategy above 3800 cups*
Godson made a video about this.

It's titled "Clash of clans How to 3 star" (w/ Lavaloonian)
It's pretty much OP (Overpowered).

Honestly need to get up to speed buddy, lot of top level clans are using em atm.check youtube theres a tonne of vids ahowing lava combos starring maxed bases.
They're supposed to distract mainly air defenses, not every defense like the normal golem. Once your loons get close to ADs, sent in the hound. I've never used them, but it's a rather obvious strategy. If you use it incorrectly, it's useless. Use it properly, it's a raid-saver. And those 10 seconds can make all the difference. But I have to agree with reducing the space it takes up, maybe reduce it to 20 or 25 to make it less OP.
