GOLEMS!?!?! why you so frustrating?

So with the start of the clan wars, i have been forced from simple farmer, to warmonger. Since i am usually the top guy in the war, i am needing to attack max lvl 9 and lvl 10 towns. I have been trying to use golems, peekas, wizards, which works okay, but for some reason, the enemy defenses don’t always target the golems. on my last attack, the xbow was attacking the archer queen with a golem right next to her, and there were cannons going after my peekas, even with the gloms in range of the cannon. Can anyone explain the game mechanics for golems.

wow your fine with the pekka AI?
practice makes perfect!

Most defenses don't have a favorite target

i assumed that since the golems target defenses, the towers would go after them first. my bad haha.

This is why I don't use Golems. They are unpredictable. What if defenses don't target your Golem? Well then you have a useless 30 housing space running around. I never use tanking units besides Barbarians....

The essential part of a Golem strategy is that you need to deploy them first so that they attract the rear point defenses. De ploy a few wizard to clear a path for heroes and pekka. Once they're close enough to the wall (most of the time at this point, the xbow will target the golem) and all the surrounding building are clear, deploy PEKKA and heroes. You need to use most of your spells near the core so that even if some few point defense don't target the golem, your wz, pekka and heroes still have enough time to clear the townhall.

You can deploy your heroes later to ensure that all defense point at the golem if you want to, but most of the time if your heroes are strong enough to tank a few hits, rushing is the better idea.

It's only unpredictable if you don't know how to use it. troops with favourite target are there for you to control the direction of your army.

they always target your golem you simply have to drop them first and WAIT for all defenses to target them

THEN drop the rest of your troops. the defenses that target the golems will stay on the golems until golems are dead.
it is during that time your wizards behind the golems own their base

I have also used a few golems and sent some hog riders behind them to take out the defenses.

never tried golems with jump spell, that would be fun to see....

Game mechanics...
Golems go for defenses
Defenses go for whatever is closest (exception is the hidden tesla and pekka)

Id rather use giants.
