I think this last war proves more than ever that Golems backed with any combination of wiz/witch is a 2 star strategy at best. It took them by my count 30 gowoppy attacks to get a single 3 star and it was a luckbox 3 star on a base with weak-ish walls. (Scott)
There are two viable strats right now until they nerf/change something:
-Hogs
-Hounds
Regarding the death of gowi* :
Maybe I got extrememly lucky, but when my target was scooped late in the war, I spammed my gowiwi army at a max TH9. I didn't plan it much beyond watching the replay of a previous attack which revealed the traps, CC, and teslas.
To my surprise I got 3 stars. And though I am now TH10, the army I used was a TH9 gowiwi. 4 spells, TH9 troops. The lone exception was that I had 260 troops instead of 250.
I don't think they were particularly strong attackers, so I wouldn't translate their failures into proof that gowi* is dead.
Now, it
absolutely requires that you have both heroes awake. So in this regard, and hoping that most have heroes upgrading often, it may be a rare attack for us. But I don't think it should be removed from our arsenal.
Finally, there will come a time when the pendulum swings back and gowi* is more useful again. When that time comes, it would be nice if we had guys that were good at using it.
