How about some Penta raids with the new post-sweeper update AI?

You don't need both of your heroes for Cold-Blood LaLoon or for Shattered. It depends on the base. You definitely need at least 1 of them. Also, remember that Shattered is just a Cold-Blood with two golems. You only use a Shattered if you think you could take out 2 AD's with an extra tank.

Hey Geordiedan, I did a video on the Sweeper and how I think it will affect air raids. Check it out!

Thanks for the earlier advice back in the thread. I Turned TH9 on Tuesday morning. Lab (w times healer upgrade going on to finish as it does), spell factory and clan castle upgrading. I opted out of wars until my spell factory comes back online

Question is what troop to do first for war. Hogs or loons? Wanted to use DE to quickly get my Queen up to snuff but are loons still viable post sweeper? All troops maxed th8 except Valkyrie, Golem, Minion 3, WB 4.

Thanks

It all depends on the sort of attacker you are, Stannis! I would recommend Loons because you can start to 3-star people using GoWiWi/GoWiPe with Loons. Loons also set you up to level your Lava Hounds next which means you can start to use Cold-Blood LaLoon and Penta LaLoon which are the two strongest attacks available right now in my opinion.

Hogs are also a viable option! GoWiWi/GoWiPe with hogs added in or Cold-Blood Hog raids are definitely ways of achieving the 3-Star.

You just have to decide which you want to start using first!

I just released a video about the sweeper, check it out! I also released a video today of me 3-starring a person using a Cold-Blood LaLoon and they had a sweeper in their base.

Hey everyone! I'm not familiar with Reddit. I would really like to grow my channel more and I think that Reddit could help me out. If anyone out there uses Reddit and thinks they could keep a thread active there for me it would be really appreciated. Send me an inbox to discuss the details!

Great vids Castle!

While I'm not TH9 yet, I'm eager to learn and help our existing TH9 players.

Question: In Cold-blood LaLoon, why are you going with Cold-Blood when it seems like your meeting your own criteria for Pentaloon? (i.e. AQ < L10, AD < 777, etc.)

3-star Cold-Blood LaLoon! In this video, you will learn:

• What the heck "cold-blood" means and how to do it!
• What the heck "break the funnel" means and how to do it!
• The perfect army composition for a TH9 cold-blood laloon!
• Warning: This is my first video ever! I may have used the pause button too much!

Also--quick correction on your Dragon video (see here):

Cold September ("CS") Series!

Hey Town Hall 8's! You wanna 3-Star with Dragons? Check this out! In this video, you will learn:

• How to 3-star with dragons and loons.
• How to path dragons!
• What to path loons!
• How to deal with centralized and non-centralized air defences!
• How to maximize Rage Spell benefits!

For Choda you say that he waiting until the AT dropped before dropping his CC loons. This isn't correct. He correctly waited until the last AD started firing on the dragons coming from 6:00 before releasing his CC loons. The AT wasn't even being attacked when he dropped his CC loons (he did it correctly though)

[Castles]

Thanks for the reply, Lunaticfringe! Occasionally a base can meet my criteria for a Penta LaLoon but I decide to hit it with a Cold-Blood LaLoon anyway. Why? Well, sometimes I am just in the mood for a Cold-Blood... that's all there is to it, really. In my opinion, a Penta is a safer attack than a Cold-Blood and that is why I gave the criteria — so that newer players/improving players would have a guideline upon which to base their decision that would more often than not lead them to use a Penta instead of a Cold-Blood.

As for the Dragon video, you're right — Choda did wait until the AD was focusing a Dragon. But he did also wait for the AT, as I said While he didn't want the AD focusing his loons, it was simply a bonus that the dragon took aggro. 5 max level loons could handle that ADs aggro. What they couldn't handle was losing their pathing!

Nice work!!

[ItsJustBrian]

very nice tut op! I have learned alot about the pathing of troops and how that works. Many people will show attacks but they don't explain how the AI works. This thread can really help anyone. Thanks
