for a TH8 with CC 25, what are the best troops to put inside the castle for defense?

Yea, the title pretty much sums up my question. lol xD

I'm a TH8 who just upgraded her castle to a capacity of 25. I normally ask for archers since they can shoot down pretty much anything (unless you know, a lightning spell decides to kill them all off..which really really sucks).

With clan wars coming, is it okay if I stick with all archers or is there a better troop that can be put inside?? Sometimes I ask for wizards, but not a lot of people in my clan have them at a good level yet...so I'm worried that they might not help much at all if a high-level attacker attacks my war base. The only solution to this is to have all of us with level 5/6 troops donate to all the people participating in the war, right? But then that'll be a bit hard on us then..sigh. .__.

Any advice? Thanks in advance!

Much love,
Creed

Witches would defenitely be best, but I doubt you've got that available. Wizards are second best for defence, but as you said they aren't used much either. Dragon is another solution, non lightningable, can toast sooo many archers/giants at once, has alot of HP, but if lured and surrounded by archers it's still pretty easy kill. I usually prefer wizards or dragon. Currently got a witch lvl 2 in there, survived several defences in a row, and even tho the rest died, it's pretty awesome ;).

If your attacker doesnt lure first then witches are fantastic.

Archers simply because of the number are a great one to have.

Valks will splash damage your attackers.

Sad to say, as much as I'd want to get a witch it there we don't have ones yet xD aww I want to get one of those awesome troops soon! Maybe I'll just spam my leader to give me his wizards/dragon, and in exchange I'll give him mine lol

thanks a lot!

The day our leader makes witches is the day I bug him to give me one lol xD I think nobody in our clan makes them yet, sadly.

I was also considering valks, but practically most of the people who can make them in our clan think they're pretty useless and won't even bother making them sigh.

Archers it is then? xD

Thanks for replying btw!
Happy clashing!

There are so many different ways to answer this. It depends on what is attacking. Ive seen people have issues with dragons, wizards, witches, all archers, and golems (although you cant hold them). This being said. I guess you cant really go wrong with a dragon, a wizard, and an archer

1 dragon, 1 wizard, and 1 archer

Wizard/witch combo IMO if available (on the witches).
