Champion league - what are some attack strategies to deploy here?

[arunt]

First off, I am a relatively new TH10, with lvl 2 infernos, other defence max TH9, lvl 21 BK, lvl 20 AQ. Troops and spells are mostly max TH9 level, with lvl 3 freeze (upgrading soon) and max lava hounds. Walls are lvl 9.

Things get tough only after 3000 trophies. I lost one attack at 47%, when I was around 3170! My TH was outside the whole time and I was never two starred. One TH9 did try but the infernos fried his giants

I thought that the push would cost me a lot of gold, elixir and DE. But in reality, I have been making huge profits on both. Millions of gold and elixir were wasted due to being storage capped even when I used 4-5 spells per attack from 3100.

So now I am here in the Champion league, and every attack is a war attack! Losing an attack really hurts. I am planning to stay here for some time so that I get some practice in attacking TH10 bases. So what are some attack strategies to use here? I have used 3 Golems, 12+ wizards, some hogs for CC lure, 2 pekka, with the heroes backing them up. CC has max golem or giants. But I have to use 4-5 spells with this army.

I am really liking it here as the game is exciting. There is always a chance of failure, and every attack counts. The league bonus makes it so that loot is not a problem. I would like to stay here, but I always try to upgrade at least one hero per week, and I really doubt if I can manage to win here without my BK. I boost my spell factory if needed.

What are some other attack strategies to use here? I am also considering doing some air raids, but I don't know if that is reliable for 2 stars. No barch/bam please. Any other suggestions about the gameplay here?

I believe many up there use lava hounds/balloons or a variation of gowiwi or gowipe. YouTube has some great videos of how to do them also.

During my push to titan I used:

GoWiPe with 3 golem,3 pekkas, 13 wizard, 8 wb,2 minion and 1 arch. Lost about 5 attacks 2 because of connection & rest were because of mistakes. But I have max troops.

Spells: 1heal,1freeze,1/2 rage & 1/2 jump

Heroes: King if available but queen is necessary

Yes, I am scouring youtube videos during my free time. Any channels you can suggest? Everyone has lvl 40 heroes though, and mine are just lvl 20

Yeah, the difference in our troops and heroes is huge. My lvl 3 pekka do not survive long enough if all the teslas are in the core. With my lvl 20 heroes and TH9 level troops, I don't think trying to push to Titans would be a good idea. But if I want to stay in the 3200-3500 range, that should be very doable right? I guess I will put off upgrading heroes for this week and upgrade both heroes next week.

Thanks to both of you for replying.

Some use air, but you will still see primarily ground.

Strats can vary anywhere from standard gowipe, gowiwi, gowiwipe, Laloon, or even 6/7 golem attacks.

Standard comp that I use is 5 golem 1 pekka/wiz core with 3 jump 2 rage.

Being that 99.9% of the bases you see now are ring bases, this 2's pretty much any of them with ease (with max troops of course).

Quake spells also work great on heavy condensed high lvl wall bases though I personally prefer jump as they can cover more ground and works better for the vast amount of ring bases out there.

As a new TH10 though, it may be best to stay in low champ (even drop abit below 3200 but still stay in champ league for win bonus). Titan will have juicer loot and more maxed 10's who are fully stacked that don't care about loot and just want cups, but the bases are more difficult and cloud times will be worse the higher you go.

There are still a good amount of mid/low lvl 10's farming in low champ, and the loot is still pretty good there.

War armies are heavy up here, indeed...but loot is also pretty stacked and you have a pretty nice league bonus as well.

The occasional easy snipe for the free cups and 200K/each 1500 de is nice too, and some Th10's even leave a fully maxed DE storage beside the TH for you to prevent further cup loss.

Is it possible to actually push without gemming troops/spells, or even without boosting because cook time can be insane? (I can boost just curious if this is possible)

It is but also depends on your army, as well as your current league/trophy count.

TH10 gowipe takes about 2 1/2 hrs to train (spells the longest). Loons can be a bit more efficient time wise, but again depends on your skill and if you prefer ground or air.

I haven't boosted lately and I've been climbing gradually. My TH is out so I'm usually never losing more than 1-3 cups on a loss being hit by a 4300+ titan player while I am steadily gaining between 12-16 cups per 2 star raid win.

This is at the higher end of champ 3 and going into 2 though (3400+). Cup offers only get worse the higher you go and boosting is pretty much required at a certain stage if you plan to make progress where every base only gives 1-3 cups on average.

1-3 cups per 2 1/2 hour army sucks lol, as do long cloud times.

Thanks for the reply! Isn't spell time a bit less now so it evens out with troop cook time a bit more or no (and you can que). I have never actually pushed higher than Masters 1 but I plan on doing it soon.

You are welcome

Yes at that range you will be ok with non maxed troops. Just look for people not maxed and the base design is not the of the open type as you would fail more on that.

Go for bases with closed smaller cells where jump will get you into townhall after breaking one layer of walls (there are many). Keep in mind that wizards are the key to win attacks so use heal to keep them alive from mortar/WT hits.

Until 3600 I used purely barch so you could try it if you are used to barch. 4 light & 1 heal/rage. Go for bases that suits barch.

I'm only a fresh spawn in pushing in Champ, but rolling out the GoWiPe just as I do in war. I'm at the point where I can consistently 2 star max bases in war so just transitioning that into pushing.

Always at least 4 Golems & 2 PEKKAs with my max heroes. Rest varies slightly with Wizards, WBs and sometimes an extra Golem or PEKKA.
