Kill Squad in GoLaLoon (Need Advice)

[arunt]

If you use 1 golem you need to get 1 ad, the queen and the cc troops. With 2 golems you have to get 2 ads.

As a TH9, yes. But if you are a TH10 attacking TH9, with 5 spells, 4-5 extra loons and max hounds, it is okay to get just 1 AD even if you use 2 golems. I was apprehensive at first, but those extras at TH10 make mincemeat of 3 lvl 7 air def - all you need to make sure is to get the queen, CC and at least 1 air defence with your kill squad.

EDIT: Of course, you should aim to get 2 ADs when taking 2 golems. I am just saying that you will be fine even if you take out just one because something went wrong.

With some bases, given that you have high level heros, all you need is a golem with both the king and queen and it will get the job done just as well. Some people even throw 3 level 4 healers in there too, and it kicks some serious butt.

Thanks for all the advice guys and gals

im confused, the army composition that most of you explained would require more than 240 army spaces...

lets say I chose to take 2 golems in my kill squad (shattered is the term I think) that's 60 spaces. Now let's say that the kill squad is successful they end up killing 2 ADs

which means for phase 2 of the attack I need 3 lava hounds, that's 90 spaces.

So far the "tank" part of my army is taking up 150 spaces, which leaves 90 for balloons, wiz, minions, wbs, etc.

most of you said I would need between 14-18 loons for phase 2 of the attack. Let's go w 16 balloons, that would be 80 spaces of pop count.

This is leaves only 10 spaces left for wiz and wbs.

is this correct or did I get something wrong?


thanks for all the help

Golem
9 Wiz
16 Balloons
3 Hounds
4 WB
3 Minions

And you don't need two Golems as King tank aswell.

Goal is to kill Queen and one AD. Why? Because Queen fks over air attack and by destroying one AD, Hounds will rotationate the base you're attacking.

Ok thanks.

I don't recall you specifying if you are trying to 3 star th9 or 10, as it makes a huge difference. For th10 shatter laloon, you need to take down aq/ at least one AD/cc and likely one IT. I don't think you will have room to bring minions and will likely have to rely on pups. Typically you bring 2 golems if you are going for 2 AD.

I would like to be able to 3 star most th9s and occasionally 3 star th10s in war

[Azen4114]

Are you looking to 3 star th10's? That's a tall order using fair play ... you may end up with a bunch of 1 star raids and that will kind of screw your clan in wars.

I'm glad to see an intelligent comment in this thread and you're correct,stick to 2 star strategies if you play fair. 3 staring th10s relies on you attacking that base over and over and over until you work out the best way to attack. It cannot be done in a real attack unless you are EXTREMELY lucky. ( like winning the lottery,it happens but very rare)

Yup, and thanks.

1) Have a clear and achievable objective.
2) Go about it.

For th10, I don't recommend that you go for 3 stars. Can't believe all the youtube hype/koolaid. Unless the base has a bad design obvious flaws, very premee, or you are going to spend hours using illegal methods to get a 3 star on a th10 base, I highly suggest you go for a safe 2 stars instead of 3's. Now, for th9's ....

One golem per AD you are taking out.
Try to have one more hound than AD that are left.
Don't bring mins, you have pups for that.
Pretty straight forward after that.
