The Clan War is about who can three star max TH9

And two star TH10.

Game has changed recently after many clans have discovered dragons are only good for TH7/8, pure hogging is in the past and Gowipe can only get you two stars on mid/high TH9.

Everyone in the CoC community is in search of the next new troop composition to three star more TH9 and nail TH10 with at least two stars. Because whoever can do that will win the war.

After searching high and low even when I was taking my CoC rehab, I came to realization there isn't a one formula fits all anymore. It really depends on the map you are facing. And you really have to construct an army based on the map you are raiding and understand how to use each type of troops.

A point I do agree with is that if you don't use defense targeting troop type, 3 starring a max TH9 will be a real tough task to accomplish.

Before I show you some strategy videos. Let's review the pros and cons of each main war troop comp:
1. Hogs : fast without walls blocking them. Relatively higher HP and damage. But DGB kills them. Needs healing to survive. heros wreck hogs. Can't be healed under infernos.

2. Loons : Very effective with high HP and high attacking power, But you won't survive if Lvl 7 ADs are at presence and it's super slow

3. Gowipe/wi: strong troop strength and attacking power. Witches are the best to kill heros. But pekkas die too fast when near max teslas are nearby. Also walls slow down this troop type resulting 2 stars on near max TH9

4. Lavaloonion: it's either one star or three star. If loons don't survive, minons get killed. No one clears TH. Highly dependable on map layout. Although when you pick the right map, Quatrolavaloonion with 4 hounds can do the job.

A new way of thinking is to utilize all troops strength based upon the map you are raiding so you can end up with an army with everything: Hogs kill outer skirt ADS so you can use loons to take out defenses before sending in Gowipe or Gowiwi or just straight up witch wiz with heros. I also noticed the pros know exactly how to release loons and how many. It is never random. Rule of thumb: Without AD, 2 loons for wiz tower, 1 for everything else. Count precisely how many you need when you are killing defenses.

HoLoWiWi

Ok, so here is a video that talks about the new war troop comp called HoLoWiWi : hogs, loons, wizards and witch. Check it out :




If you have time to read the whole thing and watch all videos including how to scout maps, check out this page :

GowiwHog
Another combo I have tried recently myself is mixing large amount of hogs (at least 16 or more) with Gowiwi. No pekkas. I personally had some success with it.

Here is a link you should read :

here is a video showcase three starring a max TH10


Gowipe/wi with Balloons
You want to find those bases with very centralized ADs, preferably all in the core. If two are in core and two are out, you want to use hogs to kill the ones outside. You also want to find maps that have ADs concentrated on just one side. Send in Gowipe troops to knock out Core and Ads then balloons can trash the rest of the defenses. If Ads are clustered just on one side, you are in for luck cuz the other half of the map without ADs can be owed by balloons.  I have also seen people mixing Gowipe with Balloonion. So they will send in Gowipe first to take out Core and centralized ADs. When ADs are almost done, send in balloons far away from the very last ADs and then swamp some minions behind loons to clean.
