Everyone has their own opinion for defensive CC troops. I know people who want ONLY dragons, and I know others who hate drags on defense.
IMO-
Defending against ground based attacks
1. Witch 2. Wizard 3a. Archer 3b. Dragon
Defending against air based attacks
1. Wizard 2. Witch 3. Dragon 4. Archer
1 dragon 3 wiz 3 arch with 35 space sounds boss
1 dragon 1 witch 3 arch
2 valk 4 wiz 3 arch
8 wiz 3 arch
4 valks 3 arch
It would matter what type of troops you are going to use...
if balloonions : Balloons, minions, drag
If GoWiWi: Witches and Wizards
Giant Healer: Extra giant
And so on, so forth
Wiz with witches or level 6 archers ;)
I agree with many that have said 2witch/1Wiz/2arch, but that is only if you know for sure the enemy is using GOWIWI. I think 1witch/4wiz/2arch is more rounded. I can see a lot of balloonion attackers (experience from FEII :p).
I think I'll use a dragon or wizards. My clanmates can't make witches.
My question is why is the word "giant" even being used in this thread? Who is going to use Giants to try and 3 star a base (maybe THs 5 or 6 but they can't hold a golem anyway). Their DPS is horrible. TH7 is going to be using dragons - So a dragon would be best. TH8 probably will also go with Dragons unless they have maxed out there hogs so again a dragon or wizards would be best for them. TH9 has the most difficult choice with either hogs, GoWiWi, or miniball if the base has a poor AD design - so any number of troops could help in the CC. And TH10, well I'm not th10 so I will leave that up to you big boys to decide.
As a th9 my personal preference is 2 witches, 1 wizard, and a minion or 2 archers. My trophy base has 4 ADs in the middle so I'm not too worried about air attacks. It's the GoWiWi guys with the high level heroes that I'm worried about.
One witch, rest wizards. Guaranteed you'll get loonioned if someone first attempt fails and they see you have 2wtiches and wiz, they'll prob bring a zap too.
edit: I see Angray said the same. Def agreed.. Maybe 1barb instead of 1arch to help annoy zaps. Also considered 1witch, 1 valk, 2wizs, 2arch.
some of the replies in this thread lead me to believe that numerous people have not read the word 'defense' in the OP.
