Read more carefully.

I explain why speed is not a problem.

By the way are you tracking my progress? Loot has been terrible

No need to keep up if the job is done on the one hit you get before they run a mile away.

Thanks for the clarification. Posts like this make me think that troops should have two speeds (on offense and on defense).

Kind of off-topic but i check in now and again. I'm finding terrible loot most of the day too. You're doing fine but you still did fib a little about your upgrades. XD

Again, your clan name is safe with me....I just like to know who I'm talking to.

Why bother keeping up with them if you only need to hit them once to kill every...single...one.

No one ever considers lonely Mr. Balloon.

Calculations:

Hog Rider Level 5 - Health: 500

Balloon Level 6 - Damage: 648 per attack(x6 is 3,888 damage in one go)...AND on death 162 damage(x6 is 972).

That means a single balloon can kill an ENTIRE group of max level hogs.

Maybe balloons in an unlurable CC might be a great defensive strategy....just maybe....

No one consider? Lol, my cc request always "love some loons for defense" since hogs are redesigned. I have some great wins against hogs. I made some great screen shots with balloons made huge explosion to 40+ hogs and instantly killed 30+ hogs. Don't get too excited though. It didn't last long at all. I quickly realise how fast people are learning with hogs. 99% hog players make sure your cc is lured. No matter how deep and centralized it is. Have a CC golem to tank and use hero/wizards quickly knock down balloons, release pigs and game over...

Nice try though.

True. This is why I recommend 2 balloons and then other faster things in case the attacker is smart.

No, it wont matter. cc troops will be killed first.

plus, 2 balloons cant kill hogs in one shot. the only chance to win is against an inperienced player which ignored the cc or think it is empty, which is i am praying for every defense, lol.

time to realise hog speed need ti be nerfed, seriously.

A single bomb drop from one balloon does more damage than a level 5 hog has in health. It will one shot it.

To be honest, I hadn't thought about it like that.

I would still stick with wiz and witch though, even if the balloons aren't taken out, they will often simple chase the hogs very slowly and actually making it to the middle in time would be touch and go. If they aren't taken out by AQ or clear up troops.

Luring a couple of balloons isn't too hard even with a buried CC.

I would like to see people test a mix of say 5 level 6 wizards and 2 level 6 balloons and see how it does.
