Lavaloonion as a TH9 after update

[KJ]

I still easily 3 star th9s with quatralavaloonion , just know the angle on how to start the raid and youll do fine. The pup nerf has made no difference to me whatsoever.

May I ask what army composition you're using with quatralavaloonion...so you're still including some minion on it...
thanks for sharing friend...
220 units ?
4 Spells ?

BTW give us a guide on deploying it...the angle, near CC or back CC? if Centered CC.?
mostly In-line or multi direction? and so forth...again thanks

Cheers,
KJ

nice!! i'll definitely give this more chances..in the current war there are no maxed th9 so we'll see..

Same for me, I'm against a lot of premature th10s with infernos so I might try it but I am more confident in my gowiwi/gowipe against those. I will keep trying on whatever I can find in multilayer. I just got a 96% fail because the queen and cc targeted the pups instead of loons or lavas. That's still 96% with queen and cc shooting my stuff the whole time; I had to use my heroes to kill the cc troops at the end. I definitely have a lot to learn but this is a very powerful attack, I don't think anything else could get 96% on a well developed th9 with the enemy queen and a ton of cc troops shooting the entire time. Maybe bringing a few minions would help or maybe there is a way to time lava death so the cc and queen don't target the pups or maybe I just had trouble this time because it's a farm base and the pups get too stuck on the tanky storages. I am dropping center loons first (drag edge to center and use a map corner for space) then 3 lava hounds then side loons (about 16 total drag away from center) and finally the cc hound (because it's hard to drop) and at the very end put heroes on the back end. (3 rage and end with heal). With this method the defense/queen levels don't seem to make much difference; it's all about if the pups are able to target and kill the cc and queen.

tldr This method seems to easily smash any maxed th9 but if the queen and cc manage to survive it's hard to get that 3 star.

The enemy cc makes a big difference, one with lots of lv6 wizards are trouble. That's why I always lure the cc if I can and I always try to take out AQ rather than leaving it up to luck for the pups and minions to take her out. If the cc and aq are too hard to lure and take out then that base is not good for lavaloonion imo because you will be relying a lot on luck.

Here's a recent quatro I did with lure.




and here's a hybrid lavaloonion also with lure. All after update.

Call me slow but did they nerf the hounds? I haven't noticed any differences

Awesome videos Ruroshin. My clan-mates and I have been experimenting with this a lot today and although some have had success without lures I am starting to think that it is worth it to lure. Killing the queen with loon bombs and lava pups isn't too much of a problem but the the cc can be very unpredictable. For example in one attack i pulled a cc into a group or towers only to have the lavahound pull them out when the AD died. I would recommend bringing just a few minions to kill any max wizards in the cc, I think u had like 10 extra and that could be 4 more loons. A comp I just used was 4 barb 1 archer 5 minions 23 loons and 4 lavas.

Also I just attacked a bunch of weaker th10s with infernos and so far I could not 3 star the ones with single target ITs but I did manage to 3 star one with both multi without much trouble. I did not lure and there were few cc troops in this successful attack (below) but I failed one against double multi with a full cc. If you don't have freeze spells I'd recommend only attacking multi infernos and if you do attack multi IT to always lure the cc because the lava pups die too fast. It could be a good base exploit for those wars where your th9s have to attack a bunch of premature th10s with multi IT and in many situations a better option than gowipe.

This attack is extremely powerful for th9 vs th9 and the method that Asian clan used is an overwhelming force that can 3 star anything. For war I would recommend luring the cc and killing it to be safe but bring 5 minions for this at most just to finish the max wizards and witches that survive. Minions do not contribute to the attack because the hounds spawn plenty and you have way more than enough time for the 3 star. Sorry to post so much but I'm just shocked that these guys are brute forcing maxed bases with maxed heroes instead of exploiting weaknesses like others do. From what I have seen today it should 3 star any th 9 safely if you lure and kill the cc (minimally), plan where the queen will stand, and just make sure the loons spread well and no large group gets killed by a WT.

[Ruroshin]

Very nice John. The extra minions are mostly to start the cleanup process earlier as with luring you do take up a lot of time and run the risk of timing out especially if the hounds don't pop or if the pups pop mostly near xbows pointed up. I will experiment with lower minion count and see how I do for time.

i also think that luring the CC gives much more predictable results..you gotta bring some minions also for the case of a dragon in the CC (unless someone attacked that base already). if it's possible to kill the queen (with the king/few minions) i would recommend doing it too..(even losing the king for that is worth it)..

Just uploaded a few more LavaLoons attacks from this clan.

[JonnyD83]

yep, here's a link to it

good videos....subscribed

[gamer88]

Zen my conclusion is that your clan should stop putting witches in the CC haha. i think that with wiz and arch, those attacks won't have many chances (if they don't lure the CC). xbows can take down all pups as well easily..
