GoWiPe

GoWiPe

             GoWiPe is one of the  most popular and reliable attacking strategies. It features the use of Golems, Wizards and PEKKAs. Many Clashers begin practicing this attacking strategy at Town Hall 8 and use it moving forward in the Town Hall Levels. It’s a very effective attacking strategy that is also a great supplement when your Heroes aren’t high-level and/or during Hero upgrades.

How GoWiPe Works

          This attacking strategy uses Golems to tank damage from defenses while Wizards and PEKKAs destroy structures. The Wizards are not only used to deal damage. Their primary goal is to funnel the PEKKAs into the center of the base.

Town Hall 8 to Town Hall 10 (and TH11 with low level Heroes or upgrading Heroes)

          If your Heroes are lower than Level 20 or one of them is upgrading, you might want to use GoWiPe, instead of GoWiWi. Without the Hero power you will miss a lot of damage and the PEKKAs can make up for that. If your Barbarian King or Archer Queen are upgrading, simply take an additional PEKKA with you.

Main Purpose Of This Attacking Strategy

         Clan War & Trophy Pushing. Farming in higher Leagues also works. The League Bonus & Star Bonus will help make up the costs.
          A solid troop composition to start with is 2 Golems, 3 PEKKAs, 17 Wizards, 6 Wall Breakers, and 5 Archers if you are at TH9.  You will have to make adjustments if at TH8 as you have 20 less troop space.  Of course, these troops should be as high level as possible for maximum effectiveness.  Max level wizards or a 4th PEKKA in the clan castle are great additions.
The main variation will be to choose either Jump Spell or Earthquake Spells. Your choice should depend on the base you’re attacking. When first learning this attacking style, I recommend using Earthquake Spells.

GoWiPe Step by Step

Now let’s take a look step by step. The most crucial part of this strategy is deployment of troops to create the funnel and Spell timing. GoWiPe attacking consists of these 4 steps:

1. Deploy Your Golems & Wall Breakers
2. Create the funnel with your Wizards
3. Deploy Your PEKKAs & Heroes
4. Support with Rage & Freeze Spells (freeze spell is avoidable and can take more rage and healing spells)
   

   Step 1: Deploy the Golems & Crack The Walls

   Which side to attack from?

   Most bases are symmetrically designed, so choosing the side to start attacking can be tough. A good rule of thumb is to draw a line from the Town Hall through the defending Heroes:
   
   
   After selecting where to start your attack, deploy the Golems to draw defensive fire. Golems have a lot of hit points, so no need to rush. They can take a beating. You need to be sure all defenses are targeting the Golems before you release the Wall Breakers.
   
   
   I recommend waiting until the Golems start engaging the outside Walls. If there are defenses outside the first line of Walls, you might want to wait awhile longer.
   Now release your Wall Breakers to crack the first line of Walls.
   

   Step 2: Create Your Funnel With The Wizards

   This step is the most important!!! If you don’t create the funnel correctly, your PEKKAs and Heroes may walk around the base instead of inside. If that happens, the attack is busted. 3 Stars will be nearly impossible.
   
   Not to worry, this sounds harder than it is. You need to deploy a line of Wizards behind the Golems and near the spot you will deploy the PEKKAs and Heroes.
   
   
   The wizards will destroy anything that could distract the other troops from going into the base. Don’t to use too many Wizards; the Golems already take the damage from the defenses, so a couple of Wizards on each side will be enough.

   Step 3: Deploying The Destruction (A.K.A PEKKA & Heroes)

   Wait until the outside ring is broken and then deploy the PEKKAs and the Barbarian King – they should walk straight into the core of the base.
   
   

   Step 4: Destroy The Base / Deploy The Spells

   This step varies depending on your Town Hall Level. You will support your Troops to get through the Walls and boost them with Rage Spells. In higher TH levels you’ll also use Freeze Spells
   Here is a more specific Spell combination list depending on Town Hall level.
   In general, you’ll:
   
5. Drop Poison Spell on the Clan Castle Troops
6. Drop Rage Spells over your pack of troops
7. Use either Earthquake Spells or Jump Spell to get them through the compartments
8. Use Freeze Spells against Multi Target Inferno Towers

GoWiPe For Town Hall 8

Due to the lack of Spell capacity, you have fairly simple tasks:

• Drop a Poison Spell as soon as the Clan Castle Troops appear
• Deploy Rage Spells on or in the path of the PEKKAs
• Deploy leftover Wall Breaker to help get through Walls
