User blog:Desiclasher/GOVAHO strategy guide - after 2016 october update



Dominated by dark elixir troop GOVAHO (GO – GOLEMS, VA-VALKERY ,HO- HOGS) is one of the deadliest strategy to score three star against TH8. As many as thousands are already using them but there is still some left in the shadows and this is for them. gui



Now lets dicsuss step  by step process in this strategy :

STEP 1 : Break the core walls

You need to break the core walls with 4 eq spell that you are carrying.

Core  walls are the one that protects the core of the base. This is done to help

k ill  squad to march in to your core  without an y walls stop p ing them.

STEP 2 : Lure the clan castle troop
This is a quite tricky step in every strategy, because you never know what’s inside a clan castle but its important that you must be prepared for what ever that comes out of it and that is why I prefer taking a dragon and 5 archers in a <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman",serif;">  <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman",serif;">clan castle. Lets just discuss possible enemy CC troop COMBO and how we can tackle them

<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0.25in;text-indent:-0.25in;"> ·<span style="font-variant-numeric:normal;font-weight:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:7pt;line-height:normal;font-family:"TimesNewRoman";">         <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">Dragon and loon or archers <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif""> –  we can use our CC dragon against their dragon with the support one or two wizard

<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0.25in;text-indent:-0.25in;"> ·<span style="font-variant-numeric:normal;font-weight:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:7pt;line-height:normal;font-family:"TimesNewRoman";">         <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif""> 3 Valkeries – archers in the cc will trigger Valkery to the corner and our CC dragon can kill valkery as they kill the archers.

<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-left:0.25in;text-indent:-0.25in;"> ·<span style="font-variant-numeric:normal;font-weight:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:7pt;line-height:normal;font-family:"TimesNewRoman";">         <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">All wizards or all archers <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">  - Now this is tricky ,there is where you need take  assistance from wizards that you have already trained for attack, as Enemy CC wizard can easily take out a dragon with their super fire ball meanwhile you  need to use 2-3 wizards to take them out.

<span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">
STEP 4 : Creating funnel <span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%; font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif";mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language: EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA">You will release your golems shattered and once defence starts firing at them, you put wi <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman",serif;font-size:11pt;">zards behind golems to take outer building and meanwhile 3 wall breakers will sneak in  between all these to create the funnel by breaking walls. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman",serif;font-size:11pt;">

STEP 5 : Release Valkyrie and Heroes  <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">Once the funnel is created deploy valkyries and heroes but make sure that they target inner building so that they can march in to the core.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">STEP 6 : Hogs surgical drop  <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">Once valkery is set on motion ,its time for Hogs Surgical attacks. You will deploy 2 or 3 batche <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman",serif;">s of hog <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman",serif;">s targeting defences from the other side of the base. I also recommed to deploy hogs in  a V formation as represted in the graphic below,  i have found this as an effective method to use heal spell as hogs will pair up with valkyries in the core.



GOVAHO is mainly used for war attacks as it cost quite a few dark elixir to cook but dont forget,Timing is the essence,it is  everything, if you miss time any of the procees

it might be difficult to make up for it and that's what i love about this strategy. If wall breakers are killed golems will be stuck forever by the wall, if you mistime valkery they will end up circling outer base and hogs in a double gaint bomb is the last thing you want.
