Couple of things
- hogs as a first attack are very risky. A very small number of bases fit into being able to be 3 stared by hogs on first go... Th9 vs th9. A missed hog attack is 1 or 0 star.
- quad/penta loon... yes...working great
- some bases just require we get 2 and move on. It is pointless to try and 3 star every th9 (unless sandboxing, which we aren't). . We need to identify the 3 star bases... And then go for 2 on the other bases with first attacks.
- GOWIXX is great comp to ensure 2 stars. Some bases require we hit with this the first attack.
Mindset needs to be going in that first attacks from our +X are 3 star attacks or they are failures. 2 star solutions are saved for second round.
Better to try for 3 and get 0 than shoot for 2 with no shot at 3.
Gowixxx is garbage since the 4 mortar update. If you need evidence watch the last clan just flail away with it over and over. We are better than that now, we have better skills and our heroes are going up. You win wars with 3 stars, not 2 with a safe gowoppy.
I mean you say their gowoppy was garbage but they got 111... Not that garbage. I agree it's not a 3 star strat, but like I said sometimes 2 is fine.
We could have won (I think) if we didn't have so many failed attacks that we had to clean up and get 2 on. By that point we HAD to play it safe and get 2. I was going to try and 3 star a Giza base, but we couldn't risk it.
Yes it's tamtam, Quad/Penta is great, I've had some good attacks with it. But not every base is good for it. The base I attempted last war was not a good one for it.
