Unlocking golems

Hi everyone im relatively new to the forums and I am planning on unlocking golems next week. Can you give me any advice on how to use them and with what troops. I have never been attacked by one or seen them in action. Also yall can check out my village my username is Dalto??? And i am the leader of stx

I want to thank everybody in advance for their help

The golems are awesome as a pure tank, think uber giants. I've had them for awhile but rarely use them for farming but for fun make them once a week or so. Make sure you have straight path towards base, try to clear any buildings on outside with a few barbs or archers. Once cleared I throw a few Barbs to attack wall and draw fire (3-5) than i drop Golem once all defences target the golem, I will throw a few wall breakers near the golem but a little away to avoid mortar damage. Than flood with whatever troops you use, the golem will take a beating by all defences leaving your troops more time to take down those wiz towers and mortars.

Have fun I'm sure you will like them.

Thank you iron999gary one more question though. Is it a good idea to use a healer with golems because I love using a healer with giants as it makes them last much longer

Don't use healer with golem, pekka or heroes. It really becomes a waste of a resource and housing space.

Most use golems as mentioned above as a tank (meat shield). Supporting troops are pekkas and wizards. You may try other troops, but performance wise - golem, pekka and wizard are best combo.

Some higher trophy players use golem with dragons as well, but this combo is bit tricky and requires even more supporting troops i.e. wizards, archers, barbarians etc. It is however fun to experiment and find best suitable combo for your attack style.

Use the golem with healer,minions,archers/wizards and some barbs and of course wallbreakers. The Minions are covering the healer. Try to aim for an ad and take it out fast - if you need drop a rage spell.
But Healer isn't needed since the golem has huge hp.

I have a clan member in the masters and they always use golems as tanks. A golem witch combo with other creatures is often used. Rarely do I see healers or wall breaks in both their attacks and defenses. Giants are not used either. Minions often used. Never seen a hog rider. The odd dragon.

Anyways if you can watch the videos of higher players it gives a good idea of whats to come.

I'm not a big fan of the healer, I have her maxed out but whenever I use her she never goes where I intend. The use of Golem all depends on trophy level, if your just playing with a new troop and farming in low ranges you can pretty much use whatever army composition you want with a GOlem in there for fun. If your trophy hunting, Golem, Wizards pekkas are the norm with rage spells.

Ok thank you all again I think that I have enough info to use a golem effectively.
