Not sure if you've met culdeus before but it is kinda his M.O.

That clan had extraordinary heroes. IIRC they had more than 8 Level 30+ queens.

Shouldn't need 4 WBs. Probably gonna have to cut down on Wiz and Archer as well. Remember you need hogs for the lure.

Find one single site that says GOwoppy is a 3 star solution vs a TH9. I can point you to probably 10 guides that specifically call out why gowoppy is not a quality war attack for TH9 to counter it.Not sure if you've met culdeus before but it is kinda his M.O.

I also notice reviewing the tape that they were doing it against bases with pink walls. Still, we have seen them work.

When I was looking at the trap layouts I didn't see a great place to lure the cc without it potentially backfiring so just pushed in with the standard 5 hound 20 loon 3 rage 1 zap combo. It rolled the base the first time so was going to go back to it the second time as well. I changed it up though and just went four rage as the enemy had a witch/valk combo in most of their ccs so didn't need a zap.

These guys are nice enough to leave high hp buildings where a minion can anchor.
I think I just suck the cc anchor with a minion kill it with heroes and then release the hounds from all 4 corners.
what could possibly go wrong?

It's not often that the base is set up for it but I've done it 3-4 times successfully.

Never said it was a 3 star solution but as was mentioned, it's a tool in the toolkit (one which I don't have btw) and has it's place. I hog/lavaloon but there are instances when I wish I had a ground & pound solution just to rack 2 stars. Something i'll be working on shortly but I wouldn't dismiss the strategy. I also think that learning different attacks allow you to understand the mechanics of the troops better and gives you a greater ability to diagnose a base with a successful solution. It may involve multiple pieces from all of the attacks and frequently does as you march higher in the ranks. Without the troop understanding that comes from mastering a certain attack, you don't have the full knowledge necessary to take down a high level base.

Nearing end of TH8. I still need to "skull-ize" 57 wall pieces. All defenses are maxed. BK is lvl 10.
Lab upgrades left to do: wallbreakers to lvl5, valks and golems to lvl2.
Should I move to TH8.5, or stick it out to fully maxed TH8?

Interesting video. He has a little different style than I've seen other places.
2x 3-stars on near max TH9s is nice, although they were 2nd attacks.

Curious to know how it differs. This was the one video I watched on lavaloonion before first attempting it in our current war, not really seeing any reason to do anything different based on the results I got.

The biggest difference is that he is the first guy I've seen bring 2 heals for a pure laloonian.

Yea. His argument about raged/healed pups over the AQ made sense to me, but I don't know otherwise at this point. I almost want to not watch any other tactics until this one fails me, keep the plan simple and focused.

100 wins will be an epic milestone. I may have to come over and contribute to at least one of those wins so I can get an invitation to the 100 win after party.

Another item of note in that video is he only took 3 hounds when I think most people would have taken 4 for those bases. Obviously the heal spells helped them last longer.
culdeus
Footballguy
I need to watch these. I wouldn't ever consider healing a hound. In fact, that could run you the wrong way. Most of my non 3stars are linked to hounds not popping and having nothing to cleanup.
I use heals when a pack of loons runs straight at a cluster of teslas with no cover.

I actually had 4 cooked for my attack thinking that was standard, looked up this video, and dropped to 3. It really couldn't have worked better, to the point I'm sure stars were aligning in ways I'm not even aware of. Really wish I could simply record my attack and post here, but it basically is the exact same thing he did so it wouldn't help much anyway.

From my view, the toughest part in that video is replicating the raged pups. You come in to early or late and its done.
Ill take my zap cc, witch loon splash to take out witch. I'm running probably a 60% rate with it. Which is better than any of my other attacks. Yes, I suck

See.. with the hound healed I think it can move beyond the first AD to the second across base, and then die and pop. Hence you need 2 hounds for 4 ADs. The third hound really is for the AQ I believe, wait until it pops then heal/rage the pups over the queen, 4 pups* will melt a level 25 AQ in a handful of seconds.
*- should read 4 raged pups

For base 3 planning on going hound and 5 loons under rage for all 4 AA. Hoping to get enough stuff dead in this initial blitz that cleanup is ez.
Then, heroes deal with whatever cc is left. wallbreak to get close to the TH, then queen backed with healers take the th out. healers.

It's kinda funny that GoWxxx is useless, air attacks and hogs are "in" right now, but there still seems to be a big emphasis on walls. Personally if I grinded out lava walls only to find them being flown or hopped over every war, I would absolutely lose mind.

So being one that has pulled this off in the past, take a look at this https://flic.kr/p/rBeg6K. Looks like a prime candidate for this lavaloon attack, no? It's the base I have to crush tonight, lavaloon first came to mind when I saw it but watching his videos it makes me almost 100% thats what needs to happen.

It's really not that simple. Quattro, and other clans that are not FBGs, are not fighting wars where all of the TH9's are three-starred. Some of us are still learning lavalooning, some are early TH9's who don't have level 2 hounds yet. So often times there's a TH9 on the other team that has zero or one star on it from a failed first attack. If the math works out well (i.e. we're in comfortable position to win but haven't nailed it close yet which I think is most of our wars), there's nothing wrong with picking up two stars on a GoWiPe. You are only "giving one way" if you assume there's an infinite number of 3-star lavaloon attacks in the queue, which just isn't the case everywhere.
That all said, GoWiPe is definitely not something we'd want as a first round attack, nor is it always best for a second round attack. But it can have a role, and it's not a bad thing to have in the toolbox, which is pretty much all that anyone has said.
Additionally, I actually used a GoWiPe to bang out a star on a TH10 last war to get our last bit of XP. Maybe a loonian would've done the same, but I'm not quite comfortable bum rushing inferno towers with skulls yet, so I went with three golems and thre pekkas to make sure I got the star.

That's been my philosophy since TH8. I save all my gold for defensive buildings cuz I figure the only thing walls defend against are gowipes, which are 2star attacks anyway. Only laloon and hogs are capable of 3starring a decent TH9, so I'm leaving the rest of my purple walls till the end to upgrade to skulls.

Koalas are vicious as ####. They have the cute/cuddly reputation, but they've got badass class and teeth and they can be quite aggressive. We had one in a a tree near our old apartment once, one time my wife walked outside and it dropped from the tree and began to run directly at her. She got the #### back inside.
Of course, they are nothing compared to the spiders and sharks.

I've got about 45% skulls, 55% lego. I was going to wait until I got to 100% to push the TH10 button, but I don't really see the point. I have enough walls to make the inner core of my bases lego, and yeah, at the end of the day, you're defending against attacks that you really don't mind seeing.
I'm still waiting to push the button, but it's because of heroes, not walls.

He shows two different strategies. One sent all 3 hounds at the same AD to then circle the base together with 1 popping conviniently above the AQ while going from one AD to the next. The replay vs. enemy clan's #1in the middle of the video. In the other you take on two ADs at a time, then cross the base to take the other two ADs at the same time. His replay vs. enemy #2 at the end of the video. (this is the strategy I used)
On your target I would do the 3 hounds at one AD attack. 3 hounds at the NW AD and favor the west side of the AD so the hounds move counterclockwise around the base. Skulls come in from west. Once your first hound pops drop a rage and heal on the pups (this should happen over the queen). Next rage and heal whenever.
Not sure how I would trigger their CC, but I'd lure to the west corner so AQ follows loons to base.
BTW anyone please feel free to poke holes in mine, I've only done this once.
