All th10s that have failed to 3 star a th9 in war - Gather here!

[Kushster]

Hi Guys!

I still feel so upset about the last war I was in!

Getting the 3 star would have ensured the win but I failed and we lost due to the tiebreaker (91.2% vs 92% total destruction).

Reason for fail: I used shattered goho and was late on a heal spell - too many well placed springs as well :x

Anyone else have an experience like this? I am just so used to 2 starring near max th10 bases. I think this has had an influence on my ability to 3 star th9s. My skills are less sharp now - as a th9 I know I would have wrecked it!

I am going to max lavahounds so that I can ensure a 3 star on a th9! That's probably the safest thing to do, no?

Share your experience!

Edit: ( Thought I'd add my offence for reference)

Heroes 26/26
Max th9 troops and Max freeze.

It depends what level your heroes are as to what options you have.

The proper th9 3* comps are easier with those extra troops and spells, but are inherently risky.

Big enough heroes can GoWi...a th9 in 1.5 minutes, as long as make jumping/quaking/breaking walls the absolute priority.

The easiest stretegy to 3star any maxed out TH9 if you are a TH10 is Quardrolavaloonian (3 Lava, 1x max lava in CC = total 4, 20 baloons and 20 minions)

Bring in 2 giants or hog to lure out CC troops. 90% of the time there are dragons in there and that dragon could easily ruin any lavaloon raid. After u lure out the CC, spawn the king (first) and Queen (2nd) to take out the dragon and any near by archer/wizard towers. In this process your heros will die but thats ok.

If you dont have max baloons, lvl 5 minions or lvl 2 lava then its very risky. All your troops must be maxed out.

Then start your raid with 2 lava on each air defence followed by baloons. Spawn in a 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 manner. After all baloons are in, spawn the minions at the back. Bring 3 rage and 1 heal.

Use the heal for your heros engagin the CC dragon troops.

There are many tutorials for quardro lavaloon on youtube u can check them out.

Probably why I failed. I think I can consider my heroes high level (26/26)? Maybe I should try a gowi with 3-4 jumps.

Thanks for this! Seems to be the safest and will be my next upgrade in the lab for sure! I still think golaloon would be the best because a lvl30 AQ will give you problems! Unless you are lucky enough for the loon splash to take her out? That's too risky for me lol

I've seen max th10 lavaloon fail cause the AQ did not fall.

I very rarely hit th9 the past year with my main, but if I do they are usually maxed with lv20-30 heroes. I almost always do straight up gowiwipe with 2-3 jump and rage/heal. Think I may have failed once in over a year. A few th10 in my old clan only hit th9 as their heroes are still in their teens. One only did PLL, nothing else. His success rate was around 80%-90% no matter how strong the base, never even killed the AQ, just the cc. Another does golaloon but I saw a lot of fails from him as they simply were just not great at it lol.

My mini is a very new TH10 with lv15 heroes and Max TH9 war troops. My spell factory is th10 and full camp cc space is 265. I use gowi__ armies or sometimes GoHo. It could just be me, but I love hitting anti 3* bases with gowi__ armies as I rarely fail to 3* them. I'm sure the usual crowd of GoWi__ haters will flame me, but I 3* often with GoWi__ (3* a th10 last war with gowi__, and 6* previous war with it th9 with mini) and easiest 3* vs th9 imo as long as heroes are above lv20.

Golaloon or other hybrid strategies are very risky. Golaloon are usually done by top players to 3 star Th10s with inferno towers. Not all bases can Golaloon bro. The bases that can Golaloon easily are ones with 2 air defences close to eachother. So when you use a jump spell and spawn your golem followed by heros, this allows the queen to take out the air defences.

Anyway if you are a TH10 u have a higher advantage over Th9 with freeze spells and more troop space.

when i have to 3 star a th 9, i always use hybrid. its the safest and easiest way i think

My th10's used to experience trouble when attempting to 3* a th9 using a gowi- army, since then I have shown them the way of GoLaLoon and trained them up in how to do it. That, in my opinion, is the easiest and safest way to 3* a th9. 2 golems 6 wiz 3 hounds 17 lions 2 wbs and whatever filler, 2 rage 2 haste poison jump heal, so many spells, it's impossible to fail, and a 2 golem KS ensures you get atleast 1 AD, CC and AQ.

So, I suggest learning how to GoLaLoon, the advantage of larger camp space and extra spell, combined with the new dark spells, make it mind numbingly easy 😊

OP, There are plenty of fantastic videos on YouTube explaining how to GoLaLoon, but if you would like to see it first hand, drop me a pm and you may come visit and i will happily run you through our war replays of th10vsth9 and explain the basics to you 😊

While that's all well and good, and you say easy, there are just so many ways for a go-laloon or go-hog to go wrong, even with the th10 benefits.

That's why Terrarist and I have said go the safe route, brute force GoWi...

Gowipe 2* limitations are usually related to getting stuck on walls. With the squillions of jumps and quakes a th10 can carry, you can negate that.
