Going For Champ!!

[MICTYSON187]

Been playing for 2 years, farmed for the most part but finally deciding to make my first push at going for Champ!!

If anyone has any tips they would be appreciated!!!

I would use balloonion 20 loons, 70 mins and just go for 50% on bases with 30+ trophies to offer until 3150, and then at that stage go for 24+ trophies.

it's the easiest way IMO

Was also thinking about pushing with those troops... but do you manage to keep your elixir to an acceptable level with this army ? I'm a bit worried about my elixir dropping quite quickly with the price of the loons and spells to go with it.

How many spells do you use per attack ? Do you go for the TH, or only take the outside building with your minions after clearing air defs around the edge ? Do you go for the loot as well sometimes to compensate for the training cost of your army ?

Easiest way is barch. You can go for the 50% which is easy with lvl7 and you can raid a lot more frequently for less elixir than balloonion. This way you make faster progress and don't deplete your resources. I barched to Champ and it was pretty painless.

Best if you can find a couple days in a row where can play for 6 hours in one session(I know it's a long time to play at once). I used loons,hounds and minions. And like others said only go for bases with 30+ cups on offer and less nearer 3200. I always went for 2 stars when ever possible with usually only the spell factory boosted, very light on gem usage. With the new league bonuses lix shouldn't be too much of a worry.

Now I'm slowly farming my way up around 3900 trophies.

Patience is your best friend, next a base if you're unsure about it, no point losing and wasting 2-3 hours of work.

When I pushed a couple weeks ago I used the Balloonion army to pick off perimeter building for 50%. If you come across a off centred TH you can try fr 2 stars but be careful as this can often be a trap.

If you can manage to use minimal spells (0 to 2 spells per attack) the league bonus will help you keep up the loot and once you get up high you start to see some poorly defended storages you grab as well.

Lavaloonions is hands down the best strategy at the moment in my opinion. I am using this strategy 90% of the time, and I am currently at 3544 trophies, still climbing rather quickly each day.
This combo is way safer than the "traditional" balloonion army because it got a larger potential of going deep inside bases. Outside teslas are not as devastating for this combo either.


Troop combo:
2 lava hounds
25 balloons
24 minions
3 wallbreakers
1 archer
CC full of balloons
3x Rage, 2x Freeze

You send in the lava hounds first, quickly followed by balloons and CC widely spread. Rage spells only inside the base, do not waste them to rush your balloons in. Freeze spells on infernos. 12-16 Minions behind balloons to clear stuff.
Wallbreakers are for guiding your heroes towards the TH after your balloons and hounds are dead. If you lack some percentages for 50% after your balloons and initial minions go down, use your remaining minions and archer to pick off any easy buildings. Last phase is to try to get your heroes to the TH.

Extra tips:
- Use your CC balloons on the side that will meet the defending queen, so that you have a few extra balloons on this side.
- Once your balloons get inside the first layer of walls, drop rage spells, but do not overlap them. Freeze on infernos whenever they get in contact with the balloons.
- Those bases with only one layer of walls with a huge "square" filled with buildings and the TH inside of that layer, are super easy to annihilate with this combo.
