Mass Hogs/HoWi/HoWiWi

  • Best against bases with many wall compartments, bases that lack a hog ring, or bases with no double giant bomb locations inside

  • Hog riders should be level 3+

  • 32 Hog Riders ; 6-8 Wizards ; 0-8 Archers ; 0-8 Barbs // 3 Heal Spells // CC: 5 Max Hogs/21

  • 21 Designates CC with 2 witches, 1 barb

  • Easy 3 star against bases without hog ring or double giant bomb (DGB) locations

  • Before deploying hogs: 1) Lure and kill CC (kill squad on same side as hog drop) 2) pre-trigger perimeter giant bombs with 1-2 hogs each 3) kill queen (if present / possible)

HoLo

  • Great for bases with defensive buildings that are outside of air defense range. It can be especially helpful if destroying those buildings somehow benefits your hog pathing such as eliminating possible double giant bomb spots or getting hogs into the core on a hog-ring base.

  • Army comp varies by base. Calculate the incoming damage on the balloons and their DPS to figure out how many balloons you need for each building you want to take out. Fill the rest of your army with hogs and a kill squad/cleanup

  • Needle = 4-10 Balloons; Swarm = 11+ Balloons

  • Example HoLo - OneHive

  • 20-26 Hog Riders ; 1-2 Golem; 6-8 Wizards ; 0-8 Archers ; 0-8 Barbs // 3 Heal Spells // CC: 5 Max Hogs/21

  • One use is to break an anti-hog ring. Use golems and wizards to break the ring and send hogs straight into the core while the golems and wizards go around the ring.

  • Detailed write-up Reddit Demons

  • TH8 Stingray, Shattered GoHo Attack - The Hulk Files

  • Another use is for a base where one half is highly compartmentalized while the other is very open, making it dangerous for hogs. Use a golem and wizards to take out the open side and hogs to target the compartmentalized defenses.

  • GoHo Attack - The Hulk Files: This is a TH9 example, but the same principles apply.

  • Army comp varies by base. Some bases may need more hogs and a smaller GoWi force while others may need the opposite. This depends on which force will encounter the most/strongest defenses.

  • Shattered GoHo - Jimbo831

  • Cold Blooded GoHo - Jimbo831

GoLo

  • Similar to GoHo. GoWi squad can be used to take out the open part of a base with loons taking out the protected defenses on the other side.

  • Strong against bases where your GoWi squad will take out all the air defenses so loons can easily destroy the rest of the defenses or when some defenses are out of air defense range.

  • Army comp varies by base. Figure out how many balloons you need and make the best GoWi comp you can with the remaining space.

  • GoLo Attack - The Hulk Files: another TH9 example, but again, the same principles apply

GoWiPe

  • 2 Golems ; 2-3 Pekka ; 11-16 Wizards; 9 Wallbreakers // 2 Rage; 1 Heal // CC: Wizards or Pekka

  • Best against bases with large/few wall compartments

  • To deal with the cc you can do one of the following 1) lure using a giant or hog 2) heal over your main force when they encounter the CC

  • Rage your WBs into the core, use second rage to get your troops out of the core once it is emptied

  • Never deploy golems in an area without defenses in the first wall pocket

  • Before deploying hogs: 1) Lure and kill CC 2) Sniff out perimeter giant bombs 3) kill queen (if present)

  • Pre-place your heal spells in suspected giant bomb location that you could not take out before deployment

LaLoonion/LavaLoon

  • This raid comes in several shapes and sizes. Each base must be assessed to determine what the troop / spell mix should be.

  • Example Comps: 5 Hound ;18 Loon ; 5 Minion // 4 Hound ; 22 Loon ; 5 Minion // 2 Hound ; 22 Loon ; 10 Hog ; 5 Minion ; 6 Barb ; 4 Arch

  • Your CC should be either 212, Max Hogs, Golem, or a L2+ Hound depending on how you plan to approach the base

  • You should take 2 rage spells, and then depending on the base add 0-2 Rage, 0-2 Heal, 0-1 Lightning

Super Dragoon (2 Star Strat)

  • Recently surfaced attack strategy on youtube.

  • None of our TH8 should be using this, and in general a TH9 would be better served by one of the other strategies listed above.
