Any tips for defending against witches?

I believe that the only method for beating a witch attack is a highly segmented base with centralized splash damage. This will be a good form of damage control and prevent three star witch raids. My base has only been attacked by a witch raid once and it got 2-starred. The attack was 16 lvl 2 witches, 6 lvl 6 giants, 9 lvl 4 minions, a rage spell, a heal spell, and both heroes (low lvled). When this attack happened I had a mortar and three wizard towers down. Here is the base I use now...it doesn't look neat or pretty and seems like it was put together by a five year old but I believe it actually works.Attachment 14771

However, I do agree with your splash+xbow combo as a potential (partial) defense.

Are you above 2500?
Because just today I've been hit 4X with anywhere from 12-16 Witches and 2 lv 5 golems.
I've given in and will drop to 1800 by the end of the wknd.

Not now, no. I was above 2500 for a couple days, but I quickly saw what was going to keep happening (that and I forgot to fill up on elixir before going up :rolleyes:)...

I can see why protecting your mortar with a wiz tower would work.

I have 2 ideas,but seeing as im not at a high trophy level defending against witches I cant try them out.

1)put ur cc in a corner completely unprotected,hopefully the attacker either wont realize it or cant lure it out,and with any luck the witches will trigger it and not the skeletons because their on the outside(due to their longer range). I understand this is a long shot...

2)have flying units in cc.only the witches can attack them,and as we know the witches themselves are rather weak. with any luck the witches will die because they moved in to attack the cc troops

Ive had decent success against witches.only one 2 star so far. There's 2 ways to do it: A- you can make them bunch up on strong defensive layers or B- you separate the skeletons from the witches. Ive gone back to a th by itself surrounded by walls with a layer outside of defenses and a few storages that makes a ring around the th. then you place the wiz towers on the outer ring to kill off the skeletons that run ahead. And then rely on my xbows to hit the witches in those few seconds before the skeletons come back. My defenses aren't great for a th10 either lol.
anyway hope this helps

hmm that maybe will work, surround the th with walls,so the witches will stop and shoot over the walls at the th,while the skeletons run around the walls killing w/e.

So the townhall can die?

down hall wont die,witches will be separated from their huge pack of skeles,and vulnerable to be killed by whatever defence...

also,witches have a very low dps so they can probably shoot the th all day and not kill it.

25x18=450 that means all witches attacking th takes 11 seconds.

Thx SC for addressing the issue in the new update.
