I hear that witches are pretty strong at higher levels... but how do you go about using them. A few things i'm wondering:
1. are they even worth using at level 1, or should i hold back using them untill they're maxed
2. do we need to use them along side golems (mine are only lvl 1). Can they be teamed with giants - will that work
3. what other attacking troop needs to be used, wizzards? archers? barbs?
Thanks... looking forward to trying out some new attack ideas!
Personally, I don't think I'm that great with witches, but I've used them before. I used giant-healer with 3 healers, 17 giants, 10 WB, 2 witches, about 8 wizards and the rest archers (expensive I know) I found the witches great for the support, as their constant skeletons (even only the 12 I had with 2 witches) did a lot with the giant (no pun intended) distraction. As for your questions:
1. You can, but be wary of cost and training time. Even with 2 maxed dark barracks that's still 20 min training time for 2 witches (training time really only applies with using a large witch army, but still).
2. Teaming with giants works. Teaming with golems works but is even more expensive and more time consuming. You can get 9 giants (from 1 barrack) in the time it takes to get a golem.
3. It really depends on how many witches you use. As witches themselves are a support troop, you have to find a balance. Use too many witches and you risk losing them all and your attack failing. Use too few and you risk not having enough firepower to take a base down (if you lose your archers to a giant bomb, etc).
Hope this helps!
thanks for the reply, really helps.
What trophy range were / are you in with that army, were you 1, 2, or 3 staring. Just trying to get a feel for what armies i might use when i trophy push
Yup theres only 2 levels 2 witches.
You have to combine them with other troops. The idea is that they sit behind other troops and continually spawn skellies which distract xbows and infernos.
If you arent hitting bases with xbows or infernos I wouldnt bother with them.
You should max your witches,golems,wbs and wizzards first because GOWIWI is the best combo for witches but it is only useful in cup chasing.
i'm planning on staying at TH9 for the challenge.... i've only maxed minions & hogs, so looks like golems & witches next. That will take some time!Quote:
