What is GoHoWiWi?

GoHoWiWi is an acronym which stands for Go – Golems, Ho – Hogs, Wi – Wizards, Wi – Witches. However, even though they are not included in the acronym, Wall Breakers are also necessary in this army composition.

2.) Attacking using GoHoWiWi:

First of all, if the Clan Castle is easy to lure then you should do it. Always lure Clan Castle if given the chance. The Clan Castle can be easily killed with witches and a few wizards in a corner. Also, always attack from the Archer Queen side. If there's one objective that you ALWAYS have to do in a GoHoWiWi attack, it's attacking from the Archer Queen side. You have to get rid of her as quickly as possible because she is another threat for your hogs besides double giant bombs.

The Attack:

Everyone knows this, but Golems should be deployed first. Whatever you do, do not deploy them too close to each other because that minimizes the damage that they'll soak up and can result in a bad raid. You want them to soak as much damage as possible for your wizard to clear trash buildings.

After Golems you'll want to place wizard spread out appropriately between the area of defenses that your Golems are tanking. Like I mentioned just now, your wizard clear outside trash buildings so nothing else gets redirected. You want your GoWiWi to be funneled and advance to the core. After deploying the wizards, it's a good time to deploy wall breakers. Make sure you don't place your wall breakers in line with a wizard tower because they'll automatically die from splash damage. Also take timing of placement into account for mortar fire. If there's a mortar around you're going to want to wait until it's finished its shot. After the outside buildings have been cleared, you're free to deploy your witches and heroes. If you weren't able to lure the Clan Castle in the beginning of your raid, then you're going to want to deploy a rage to rage your kill squad through them. Once your GoWiWi attack has done some significant damage to the base, or has done whatever you wanted it to do, immediately deploy your hogs. Your hogs are a crucial part of a GoHoWiWi attack, and deploying them at the right time is what determines the outcome. Do not wait until your GoWiWi attack is dead before you deploy your hogs. You should set an objective for the GoWiWi part before the raid, and when it has done that, release your hogs to work alongside them. Your hogs are helping your GoWiWi stay alive while cleaning up the rest of the base. You need to have GoWiWi cleanup troops remaining at the end of your raid, because remember, this isn't a straight hog attack, and you’re carrying a limited amount of hogs. Even if the hog part of the raid is executed properly, if you don't have cleanup troops other than your hogs remaining, your hogs won't be able to finish off the rest of the base by themselves. I would try and deploy your hogs knowing that the last defenses are now focused on your Golems/Kill Squad so that your hogs take as little damage as possible.

3.) Troop Combination:

I always prefer to take at least 2 golems (one in Clan Castle so it’s maxed), and spread them out appropriately between the side I want to attack. But that doesn't necessarily mean that you have to always carry 2 Golems. When looking at a base you're planning to GoHoWiWi, you have to think about your objectives and determine your troop count on that. You have to determine what the real damage dealer is in your army. Are you planning to take out the Archer Queen in the center and hog the rest? Are you planning to take out a difficult side of the base and using hogs as the powerhouse? Are you planning to GoWiWi most of the base and using hogs to clean the few defenses that remain? Are you planning to set off some double giant bombs in the center to minimize threats for your hogs? All those questions should be running through your head, and that's what determines your army and spell composition. If your hogs are going to deal the majority of the damage in your raid, then you should have at least 20 hogs and minimize your wizard/witch count, or maybe even drop a Golem. If your GoWiWi is going to do most of the damage, then you should have at least 10 hogs to cleanup, and you should have at least 4 witches.

4.) Spell Combination:

If GoWiWi is the powerhouse, bring 2 rage, 2 heal, or 3 rage, 1 heal. Depends what you want your hogs to clean up. If hogs are the powerhouse, bring 3 heal, 1 rage.

Never ever bring lightning to kill Clan Castle. That is a waste of a spell that could be used to rage your GoWiWi or to heal your hogs.

5.) What base you can use GoHoWiWi?

There really isn't a right or wrong base. Just like there isn't for GoWiPe. GoHoWiWi is just such a big powerhouse that it can be effective against any type of base, as long as you use every troop for what it's supposed to do. It can be most effective against spread out bases because for spread out bases you'll have less defenses shooting at your Golems making them tank more, and last longer.
