A Great Way to Defend Against Hogs?

Thanks Jetlife, I'll be requesting these troops from now on.

Nice.

10 char

Update: We just got three more defends in our clan using 2 balloons in their cc. One had wizards in their cc the other had minions.

The first replay showed our clan mate who is in Masters III, just like my defense, 2 lvl 6 balloons quickly getting rid of hogs in a matter of seconds. 44 lvl 5 hogs were used against his base. There were about 5 hogs remaining but the wizards cleaned them up while the balloons were chasing them. He got 25 cups out of his successful defend.

The second replay by our clan mate in Crystal I also used the same strategy but he had minions instead of wizards in his cc. The balloons somewhat missed the initial blitz killed about maybe half their hogs but had to play catch up the rest of the time. 44 lvl 5 hogs were used. Eventually they caught up but had made some significant damage but not enough to cost him the match. The balloons one hit KO did help towards the end when they managed to have them in their target. He got 29 cups out of his successful defend.

Now for my seconds experience. My cc was lured out by the attacker using a couple of hogs and taken to a corner. There my balloons were destroyed and 40 lvl 5 hogs destroyed my base and 3 stared me. I didn't get an opportunity to see if it would work again but another effective factor would be to have a cc that's difficult to lure.

Regardless, I will continue using balloons in my cc mixed in with other troops so I can document this and see how effective they are against hogs. So far the finding are favorable as long as the cc is hard to lure. From our replay there hasn't been one as of yet where the hogs completely avoid the initial balloon onslaught so their hog army gets significantly damaged and don't manage to win their attack. Cheers.

I'm glad you are finding success with this.

Hopefully this isn't like treating an infection with penicillin. In the end all that will remain are the evolved ones that know how to combat it.

good idea... but hogs are so fast and bloons are so....


....o wait

Just had a successful defense against hogs with 2 loons in the cc at 2650 trophies. One bomb drop and 15-20 hogs dead.
