Lol I've never even trained one... :p
I agree they are fairly useless. But, the ai is really good. On eggshell bases, she will position herself so she will hit a building behind her and in front of her. I think it could be a good troop at some point but right now, it just doesn't work. A speed increase is a must. Maybe a decrease in training time?
They can be good in defence but in attacking they dont impress me
never botherd to get one
never seen 1 even on defense but might upgrade to lvl 2 which is maxed for th8 because I suspect they will get buffed next.
I use her when im bored
I used to use one of her as a aide to my farming army, she does surprisingly well if you send her after barbarians, it's good to have a troop that packs some power. I recommend trying it, only 8 space taken away, and some extra power. I've stopped now due to it being a bit too costly but it was a fine way to make use of the Valkyrie before.
If you look at some of Unity Sharp's videos in his DE farming thread he uses them on offence to increase DPS and reduce overall training times a bit. Apparently he figures the extra time makes up for the DE cost. They would also work well with his strategy of using CC troops to pull his attacking army in. He is the only person I have seen build them regularly though, and even then it is only one at a time.
Come to think of it, that was from before the hog upgrades too, he may have switched over to those by now.
I used them a bit to replace giants as they have more hp on level 2 and do more damage, plus it helped save me elixir. What i didnt like was that they, like wizards, seem to just run all over the place. Even if i blow a hole right in front of them they just run to the sides. Also i do like the fact that giants target defense, so march on the hog riders
I used them for a while, farming around 2000 cups +/- 50. Mainly, because I was upgrading barracks and conserving elixer, so I used them as a kind of goblin/giant hybrid i.e. they can tank somewhat, and/or help collect resources - as above, it helped cut down the total army training time, and I wasn't farming for DE I was farming for 6M elixer - typically, I'd only have 1-2 in my army as their training time is quite long and I used one barracks for valks, one for minions.Quote:
