Has anyone reached Clan Perk 5 yet (donated troops get one level boost)? Or ran into a clan in war that had it?

We've been sucking at war lately and are only halfway there.
 
Our Clan (Bill and I) passed Level 5 two wars ago.

I think it's a great perk as now all of our TH8s and 9s can handle the CW donations and not just our 3 or 4 TH10s.

Other than that, the CC only holds 1/10th of a fighting force so it doesn't really help that much. I would rather be able to train max troops than only have them in my CC.

All donated troops are at least at TH8 levels now. We don't have anyone less than that in the Clan.
 
We only have 2 th10's that have high level troops. So for us being a majority of TH8's, it would help tons. TH8's giving max wizards would be nice, especially in war cc's.

Congrats on the perk :)
 
Yeah I have a second account because most of our clan members are on the east coast. It's a TH8 with a sole purpose of donating max wiz and loons
 
Same here. But i got bored with it being a maxed th8, so i started the th9 upgrade. We are still about a month away from the lvl5 perk and i can't wait that long. my defenses are maxed on my main at th9, and just working on lego walls.
 
I just finished my TH9 upgrade and I am going through a slump right now in War attacks.

two wars in a row where I have a combined 4 stars, with 1 attack in each war of zero stars.

I can't remember when the last time I had a 3 star attack against an equal.

I feel like I am not committing to a strategy that will win. I am going to record and post my suck-attack videos and will put the links here and you guys can critique them.
 
1st thing as a th9 noob in war is troop capacity. Without it, you are simply just a th8 attacking.

once you have 220 troops, then you have a decent gowipe that will take out any th8 easily with th8 lvl golems.

What will help you with the lower th9 bases is witches. get them, and upgrade them to L2. That will be a mainstay for attacking. They even help getting 2 stars from a low th10 with L1 Infernos if played right.

Edit: Later on down the line, lavaloonion will be another option to take out higher level TH9's. It's all about the right army for the right base.

Followin up on the bolded underlined part, what is the decision tree that you use to pick the right army?

These are the questions that I ask myself:

1- Are the GB / Tesla positions obvious and spread apart? [hog]
2- Are their spots that could have Double GBs? [Hog]
3- Are key defense structures grouped together? [Hog / Valk]
4- Are AD's exposed? [Drag / Loon]
5- Are there any defensive structures outside the radius of AD? [Loon / Minion]
6- Is the TH less than 2 wall segments from exterior? [GoWiPe]
7- Is the CC lurable? [This mainly helps me decide troop composition]
8- Do AD area's overlap? [Ground attack vs Air]
9- Does the base use "Hog Rings" or other design elements to feed troops away from TH
10- What settings are multi-target defenses set at?

Can you guys add any other decision nodes that should be considered?
 
I finished my max loons and am enjoying watching them wreck in Wars.

I attacked a near max TH8 and got 99%. Ran out of time going for the last corner builders hut.

I have found that they aren't that great against xbows though. I usually run a max hound in the CC, 31 balloons and 3 lvl3 drags. I am thinking about changing the 3 drags to be 12 hogs instead, but I want to max my hogs first. Soon as Giants6 are done in the lab I am doing the hogs.

in 8 more days I unlock hounds in my dark barracks so I will try attacking xbows with one max hound in cc then 2 hounds in army instead of 3 drags. see how that goes.

yeah, don't go dragons. i will take 30 minions over 3 dragons every day. my raiding when i was in masters was 24 balloons and 50 minions, i could 2 star some TH10s and almost any TH9. i would also throw in a lvl 2 lavahound and go 30 minions, the timing worked out almost perfect. my troops/rage/heroes would finish within minutes of each other.

but for war i go 2-3 lvl 2 hounds, 16-22 balloons, 4-8 lvl 4 minions, 4-6 wiz, 1-2 lvl 2 witches, 8 barbs/archers. my CC would be the witches, hound, or balloons. then 2-3 rage, 1 heal, maybe a jump spell. my goal is to take out the queen with the CC. but sometimes if i can get her on top of a defensive structure i will go with the raged balloons on her.

i do get a lot of 1 stars in war though. but i always attack for the 3 star unless i am last minutes needing a star or 2 to win. so this occasionally will leave a xbow defending the TH.
 
i pulled my game out to start my lightning to 5(just got my queen to 10 and healers to 4) to clearr the CC when i do my healer queen hog combo.


my lvl 2 dragon(stopped upgrading them at TH7 when i got lvl 4 minions) 160 DPS, with 2100 hit points
lvl 3 drags 180 DPS 2300hit points

my lvl 4 minions, 46 DPS and 72 hit points.
lvl 5 minions 50 DPS and 78 hit points


lvl 4 minions in 60 spaces do 1380 DPS with 2,160 hit points, lvl 3 dragons 540 DPS with 6,900 hit points.

the problem is the drags only shield the loons for 10-15 seconds before the balloons get ahead. then the drags just run a very slow clean up duty and almost never take any damage. give me the almost 3x DPS troop.
 
I hate minions with a passion. The Air Bombs can take out a whole horde. Even at level 4.

Here are some YT links to my attacks. The recording is skippy because I did reflector over wifi on both devices so it lags, but you get the general idea.

Links listed in Newest attack (this evenings) to oldest attack (last week in May). TH9 upgrade in the middle. So you will see a couple with AQ and newer ones without her since she was down for upgrades.

My Barbarians don't go on the disabled list, nor do they change teams in the offseason and I don't have to mind a waiver wire for archers every thursday.

You always lead with the loons, then follow with the minions. The air traps will hit the loons (which will be healed eventually anyways) Then the minions run cleanup.

With Lava Hounds, i've seen tactics that use # of AD +1 that you can't take out on the edge. Then the Lava Pups essentially clear out the base after.

It's all relative to the base you are attacking and what might be in the CC.

I feel LavaLoonion is the main attack for maxed TH9 bases. it's just a matter of planning. Deploying loons specifically rather than just do the random mass wall. But targetting 3 loons per defense etc.
