TH9: Safe 2-Star Strategy - The GoWiPe ("Go Wipe")

Strategy Overview

Scouting

• Typically with a GoWiPe you ignore the defensive Clan Castle relying on your Wizards to take out anything inside.

• Attack the base from a side, preferably with the Queen, and even better if it is the Queen and the Clan Castle - this design is perfect for a GoWiPe.

• Be wary of Moat design.  The inner wall can be hard to break and the Army won't break it until almost everything else is destroyed.  4 quake moat designs for maximum success.

• See if you can use a quad-quake to destroy the walls through to the TH.

Army Roles

• Golems tank for all troops, even Pekkas.

• The Pekka's job is to hunt down the Queen and destroy her, as well as being the heavy hitter in the team.

• Heros make for the Town Hall and clean up.

Attack Summary

• Spread the Golems wide to distract the defense and allow the wall breakers into the middle of them to break the wall.

• Use the wizards behind them (wide) to tear down the perimeter buildings to create a funnel for the pekkas.  

• Pekkas up the middle.  They will take out the Queen and helps drive for the Town Hall with the Heros.  It is ideal if you can get a wizard or two to follow a Pekka.

• All your troops should be down quickly.

Attack Plan

• If quad-quaking, this is always the first thing to do

• Get the Golems out wide - they are the perimeter

• Get the few Wiz down behind the Golems, extending no further than 1 Wizard past the outside of each Golem.

• The key is breaking the wall...
  

• Depending on wall strength, drop a Rage and use Wall Breakers.

• Keep your eyes;on the Clan Castle. When the troops pop out, if you do not quad-quake, one poison on top of the CC troops and another poison between them and your troops, but don't stack poisons on top of each other.

• Get the Pekkas in once you have created the funnel - the closest building (or the enemy Queen) should draw your troops into the base.

• Drop the Heros and prepare for clean up.

• Use Healing whenever groups of Pekkas get low.

Option B: Jump Option

Practice a couple of times before using this attack in war, but it is a reasonably straight-forward attack as long as you remember:

• A failed wall break at the start can destroy the whole attack - it really is the key

• Get your golems wide enough to draw defensive fire and create that funnel by clearing the other buildings with your wizards

• Get your troops down quickly

Game hard.
