Ultimate Lava Hound Attack Strategy (video breakdown)

[Ashlain]

Really proud of this one! In my latest episode I basically compiled all the best information I have on Lava Hounds from watching many top 200 player replays and created what I dub the "Ultimate Lava Hound Strategy Guide".

Enjoy! I breakdown my preferred LavaLoonion army composition, deployment order, spell usage, and attacking strategy. I also include a few high champion league replays to help illustrate some of the general strategy keys.


Edit - Revised and added the "finer points" strategy video in place of the original below Enjoy!

Man Ash, great breakdown. I really enjoy these videos. While im working on maxing GoWiPe troops I tend to air raid a lot and this works great.

Thank nk you for all the time you put into this for all of us to benefit from.

Thanks guys!

I touched upon why most top players are using air attacks vs ground as well as included three lava hound replays in my latest road to top 200 video (below)

Also, a small alteration to the strategy outlined here in the guide :

• I now pick off ANY/ALL outlying buildings/units possible with minions BEFORE engaging the village with main attack.
• The reason for this is to help get that first star (50%) before releasing heroes that way you'll have a better idea as to what you'll need them (royals) for later. Either percentage or town hall duty.

Enjoy and good luck!

I've been having quite a more difficult time with hounds post update. The added HP to spell factory, lab, all mines/pumps, cannons and barracks have really clogged up the minion progress and they often lag behind. I think I may have to rethink this guide!

New Video up! Today I bring you LavaLoonion Strategy : The Finer Points. While the replays are all yours truly's, this advice is also perfectly applicable to TH9 as well as 10 (using heal around the same time you'd use freeze spell). Enjoy, and as always, feedback is appreciated!

So are you saying air is dead now?

Nahhh, I've switched back to exclusively air raiding and made a few minor adjustments to accommodate the changes post update. (can be seen in most recent video in original posting in this thread)
