Are Lava Hounds worth it?

[Untamei7]

i'm not at that level yet but the idea i've gotten is that the lava hound is the golem of the air strikes?

[Pete82]

Yes, possibly but the hounds will need to be maxed as well as maxed loons, minions, freeze spells and Hero's.


Don't fall for the "it will 3 star maxed th10 bases" hype.

Yes, they may help 3 star a maxed th10 base, but they're just a small piece of the attack.

Well yeah, no one 3 stars good TH10s without a lot of maxed troops/spells. The point is it is possible, which is huge.

But should we listen to you..? You're a dirty trickster....

Don't be fooled...I speak only the truth.

Quite true man.

By that same logic, level 5 troops and spells aren't needed at th 8 because they're "just a small piece of the attack."

From what I've seen, as a th 10 defender, they're one of the most balanced troops Supercell has introduced. I've won plenty of defenses against them, I've been 1-starred plenty of times, and I've been 2-starred once in a while. I've seen them almost exclusively as an add-on to balloonion, so it is quite possible that as time goes on, someone will figure out an even better army comp for them.

Try QuatroLavaLoonion(Loonion with 4 Lava Hounds)
You can 2 star any maxed TH10 without heroes

Yes I know they are only part of the strategy but try three starring a maxed TH10 base with just loons and minions.

After having watched Godson's YouTube video on quatro lavaloonion attacks, I decided to try it out for myself and I absolutely love it. Great for loot raids, awesome for wars. Basically 4 lava hounds, 14 balloons, 25 minions, a cc of 7 balloons, 3 rages, and 2 freezes. The obvious downside is the spell cooking time but as someone who was playing way too much, I am actually enjoying the 4 hours between attacks. If there is a 1 gem spell factory Xmas boost, I will be one happy (and rich) camper. Easily 2 stars maxed th10s, can 3 star as well but not that easily (my heros are level 20 and level 23).
