GoHog 101 for TH9
Popular against th9 bases. Army is divided in 2 groups. The kill squad and hogs. This attack ONLY works on certain base designs that have closely placed defenses with no gaps and no double giant bomb locations in the hogs attack path. Best chances of success when used as a 2nd attack after trap locations are known.
Exact army composition varies by the base you are attacking. Ask a clan member for help if needed. Here is an example of a typical th9 GoHog army of 250 troops (220+30cc).
Kill squad - 2 golems, 7 wizards, 4 wall breakers, 1 pekka/3 valks, 1 rage, 1 jump, 2 poison.
Hogs – 25 hogs, 2 heal
Cleanup – 4 archers
Kill Squad: OBJECTIVE OF THE KILL SQUAD IS TO TAKE OUT THE ENEMY QUEEN, CC AND AT LEAST 1 XBOW. Knowing how to funnel is imperative in deploying the kill squad. If these initial objectives are not accomplished, the attack will most likely fail. Since time is a factor, luring enemy cc is not recommended in most cases. Funnel and deploy your kill squad using the spells assigned for your kill squad. Use poison on the enemy cc and queen. Using poison on a queen greatly reduces her attack speed, which is a huge benefit for your kill squad.
Hogs: Once the queen and xbow are engaged, you can deploy your hogs. Do not wait for the kill squad to completely die. If a few strong troops (like a hero and a couple of wizards) are still alive while the hogs are deployed this significantly increases your chances of a 3 star. If your kill squad manages to take out both xbows then 3 stars is almost a certainty. Hogs are deployed in 1-2 large groups (use 2 finger drop if needed). You can deploy either left or right of your kill squad. Pick any side and deploy all hogs on that side. If all goes well they will circle the base and clear all defenses while your kill squad clears the center. Deploying hogs in small groups of 3-4 is NOT recommended for beginners. This is an advanced attack called surgical hog. There are several other conditions that must be met and a particular deployment sequence that is required for this advanced attack to succeed. Keep it simple. When deploying hogs place heal spells over areas where there are single giant bombs and wizard towers to keep your hogs alive.
