In this post, I will give an in-depth how-to on the very popular
Clash Of Clans (Town Hall 8, mainly) War attack strategy, HoWi (Hogs And
Wizards) for three starring any Town Hall 7, 8 and most Town Hall 9's.
Every army composition in Clash Of Clans has a basic strategy
behind it and the strategy behind HoWi is : Bash out everything that hurts
first! The Hog Rider character is an insanely OP troop if you know how to
use him right, and he is the spotlight of this attack strategy. This army
composition is just a modification to the Mass Hog Attack Strategy so you can
save some Dark Elixir and clean up faster.
Requirements for a successful HoWi Attack:
Hog Riders level 4 (minimum)
Base shouldn't have too many spaces between defenses
Clan Castle Troops should be taken out in the beginning
Heal Spells level 4 (minimum)
Wizards level 4 (minimum)
Now then, let's jump right to it.
Stuff You'll Need :
26 Lvl 4+ Hog Riders
17 Lvl 4+ Wizards
02 Lvl 4+ Archers
03 Lvl 4+ Heal Spells
01 Dark Spell Of Your Choice
01+ Android or iOS Device(s) with Clash Of Clans Installed
01 (ONLY) opponent.
Execution:
First of all, take out the Clan Castle troops as they could pose a serious threat to your Hogs if they survive.
Secondly, look for small spaces in the base where Giant Bombs are likely to be placed. If you see any, try to reach them with one hog each. (Do NOT use more than 4 hogs for this...). If you manage to take out all the giant bombs before the attack begins, you've won most of it already.
Then, look for one side of the base where there are a maximum of 5 defenses in a line, and spread your Hogs out to take those defenses on all at once (You may drop 3 - 4 Hogs to check for Giant Bombs in their path first). Don't send your Hogs in behind each other in a line as you need only about 4 Hogs per defense and grouping them up, like most people do, just makes them vulnerable to splash damage, the only threat to them besides Clan Castle troops.
You won't need to heal your Hogs anytime soon so drop you Hero and then all your Wizards in a spread out line like your Hogs right after. The Wizards are just for clean up so don't spend any spells on them. It's most likely that you will need spells when the Hogs get close to Wizard Towers. Drop the Archers on Builder's Huts / Other corner buildings, or just randomly place them anywhere...
One thing to always remember while placing the spells : Even a group of FOUR Hogs is worth being healed, if you see a group like that low on health, don't hesitate, drop that golden ring of light immediately!
Intelligent spell placement is key to three starring while using Hogs and Wizards, especially during Clan Wars. If you are taking on a Town Hall 9 in Clan Wars, you would be better off using 30 Hog Riders and 12 Wizards + Archers for fillers. Town Hall 8's can be 3 starred with just two heal spells, but take 3 anyway.
Town Hall 7 on the other hand, if you have Lvl 4 Hogs, can be dealt
with completely without spells of any kind. Just drop the Hogs and you are sure
to win!
Many Clashers say that Lvl 3 Hogs are enough for such a strategy, but that's actually a huge risk. If Lvl 3 Hogs are exposed to a Giant Bomb, there health will drop massively, after which even a regular bomb could take the entire group out at once... Use Lvl 3 Hogs at your own risk!
Besides all that, the HoWi attack strategy is great for Wars and regular raiding alike, it's a very viable option for looting gold and regular elixir as you can get a lot from Town Hall 9's and other strong bases which normally are tough to 3 star.
That's all for now, I hope this guide helps you in your game and don't forget to share and +1/like.

ReplyDeleteBest to take hogs, if you are confident that you can handle your opponents' Clan Castle troops with your own wizards. If you're not sure, then take wizards in your clan castle for extra firepower.
