Is it necessary to kill cc troopz for pentalavaloonion?

[tyler4]

Other than the troop everyone now puts in the CC because everyone knows how the poison spell works, not necessary to lure. Can just drop poison to kill the cc troops. With dragon, can lure & kill using heros. Other high hp troops such as golem & lava will not interfere with lavaloon attack.

There I fixed it. Plan on luring and killing.

Also, this post isn't saying that dragons are the way to go, just that it's all we ever see any more.

I'd lure them out; if a dragon is sitting in there, you're pretty much screwed up my friend. That makes me pose a question: how do you guys deal with drags when using a lavaloonion attack? Do you use the minions? (but that would cut out a lot of your power) or spells? (not enough) or cc troops? (if you have them)

use one loon to lure, drop AQ in one of the corners to pull the dragon there, drop BK, then use special ability on AQ to get the aggro off of her. BK will tank for AQ, and AQ will kill the dragon.

Been using some form of lavaloon for a while now. Here is what ive found.
1. Its the dragon you have to worry about in the cc. More dragons now with the poision spell introduced.
2. Use your heros to take out the dragon. They way someone described earlier.
3. If bk is upgrading replace 2 loons with giants and drop giants instead of bk to distract the dragon
4. If the queen is upgrading but you have your bk use wizards. Have to change the drop order because wizards have no royal cloak.
5 if both heros are down you will need to attack lower. I bring only 4 lavas then with a few added minions.
Air sweepers just attack away from. You still have 2 sides of the base left.
their aq? Bring cc troops to queen side.
if you bring a few minions hold on to them and use for clean up. Many drop them with the rest of the attack. Dont do that.
hope this helps. Ive been 3* most th9 ive gone against.
fyi my clan has another th9 who specializes in gowiwi so we work out which bases are best for our attacks. It really helps to.

In the ideal world, you want your heroes to deal with both the CC troops and the AQ. If you can get this done, you are good to go. In the past, the lava hound pups would kill the AQ and the only thing you did was send to hounds to the AD closest to AQ, but the aggro radius of the pups was reduced, so this rarely works now. Most people use a combo of 5 golems and lava hounds, with the theory being that you want 1 more lava hound that AD left after the AQ and the CC has been dealt with. So if you need 1 golem to get the CC and the AQ you also need to take out 1 AD before the start of the main attack, if you take 2 golems, then you need to take out 2 AD.

If you can, you always should. Without question.

It only gets a bit more 50/50 if the cost to lure/pull the cc outweighs the benefits of not taking it out, which can happen but is less common.

If the cc is harder to lure, consider ditching pentalaloon for golaloon and knock out the cc/AQ and an Air def or 2.

I have only been using this tactic for a short time, but that part of it has only failed once, and that was when I didn't take account of the fart machine, so the hound popped just after being blown back out of range.

Don't use loon to lure, if loons in cc they won't come out. Lots of loons in cc's these days. It is a penta, so loons would effect it little, but a giant(s) or hog(s) should always be used for lure. I love seeing an opponent hogging using loons to lure. Our loons bomb the snot out of his hogs.

As far as luring for penta, ALWAYS lure for lava loon attacks in my book. Use heros to kill as stated above. I would tank for your AQ with the BK, not pull with AQ but to each their own.

if u go with golaloon, yes u need ground troops to lure, but the guy was asking about penta, usually ground troops are not included in the compo with penta except for heroes, so you dont have to worry about loons in the cc.

[andrgin]

You have to deal with cc troops and penta is only an option if the queen has a low level and is burried in defenses so she dies because of splash damage because the pups will not chase her any more. Everything else could work, but is only luck.
Only if you know there is a lavahound inside this is an option but this still means the pups will ignore the queen and attack the lavahound.
