The usage of GoWiPe and variants since the introduction of the lava hound have declined noticeably but it still remains the most popular attack at the TH 8-9 level; Due to the fact that lavaloons can three star max base. As of the July 2015 update, the earthquake spell has shed new light on this powerful attack, with 4 of them smashing walls of any level regardless of the spell's level. It eliminates the need for wall breakers, freeing valuable troop space for wizards, pekkas, etc. However it takes up spell space and hence I do not recommend earthquake x4 for clashers new to GoWiPe I strongly suggest obtaining level 3 pekkas and level 5 wizards and rage spells before doing this attack to a large scale. Upgraded golems and earthquake spells are advisable but not entirely essential.
Army Composition:
(No army intro)
Minimum Troop Housing Space Required: 200 Minimum Spell Housing Space Required: (not specified)
Release 2 golems on the same side of the base. In between mortar shots, release the wall breakers and deploy a rage spell to cripple wall defenses.
Deploy wizards to clear a path for the pekkas and barbarian king. DO NOT RELEASE THE PEKKAS UNTIL THIS STEP IS DONE!!! Otherwise they will go "shopping"-circling the base cleaning up trash buildings while being pummeled by point defenses and teslas. TIMING IS VERY IMPORTANT TO A SUCCESSFUL ATTACK.
Before your wizards obliterated by spare cannons and archer towers, and after they clear outside "junk" buildings; deploy your pekkas all at once. Release the barbarian king along with the pekkas. As they approach the center, deploy the heal spell on the pekkas/wizards/king to keep them alive.
Deploy your rage spell on the townhall to help your remaining golems/golemites and pekkas(if done right all or most of them should still be alive) take out the townhall and other key buildings.
Watch your troops GOWIPE(corny joke had to be included) out the enemy base and do the happy dance after you get loads of loot and trophies.
(No execution notes)
Conclusion:
Correct timing and placement of troops is key to the success of this powerful attack. Although troublesome to master, this attack will give you the ability to completely obliterate seemingly impenetrable bases at the TH 8 and 9 level and can terrorize bases from Gold III to the Champion league. Your faction will love the epic 2-3 stars you bring them when used in clan wars.
