Clan castle defence troops

What are the properties of the troops that reside in the clan castle when your village/ base is attacked, and how to kill them when you attack

here are 2 i know:

archers, really good, but generally can be killed off by a smaller number of attacking archers, or a single dose of lightning spell. Great against giants, as they do not fight back and can slowly reduce their numbers

Wizards: very good, and seem impossible to beat, the lightning spell does not kill them, and they kill any troops before they are in range. Unfortunately take up lots of space in clan castle, so unless it is a high level one, only a few can be kept

i was interested in Wall Breakers and if they are any good in the clan castle

This partly depends on your town hall level.
Wall breakers are not good in the clan castle.
Generally, you would want wizards or dragon at a lower town hall.
If you want the troops to be easy to use for attacking, as well as defending, you can go with archers.

Healers heal any buildings....
wallbreakers commit suicide against enemy troops
everything else acts pretty normal....

Wizards can be killed by one lightning spell of level 6.

Wall Breakers have to be the most useless troop to have as defense in your clan castle. They will just run towards the enemy and blow up causing a very small amount of damage. Compared to Wall Breakers, the Goblins will chew on giants legs quite fast if given the chance.

Good defensive troops basically boil down to Archers, Wizards(splash), Dragons (splash), and Valkyries (splash, but ground troops only).

Crappy defensive troops are Giants (slow, weak dmg), Wallbreakers (one shot weak dmg), Healers (easy to kill and don't heal bldgs fast enough to make a diff), and Golems (slow, weak dmg).

IMO wizards and witches are strongest in CC.

Wizards because of range, AoE and also large damage. However, they are easily demolished by nearly anything.
Witches because of range, and skeletons which CAN keep troops distracted for days on end. However, lightning and wizards will wreck them.

As for worst CC troops... healer vs WB. Both are horrendous

Generally giants are awful in the clan castle especially lv 1-5 giants. however lv 6 giants are the exception. there high health and 40 damage in low bases severly hinder attacking forces as they spend valuable troops killing them or dont at their peril. in higher bases they can slow the attack by valuable seconds giving your defences extra shooting time. imagine the shock of a raider when they cant lightning them.

Hey imo wizards are nice most people usethem so they are easy to get.Witches are good also but people will not always have them bassicly any range troop and splash troop is a good cc defence

Thought wall breakers would be pretty bad
inhave seen other using healers against me, and they seem really good, making it really difficult to get trophies, since the buildings get rehealed often faster than you can attack them
giants have often been good as well, since they can quickly kill troops attacking a building, who remain stationary

I am curious about the same, as well, curious about Minions. I will reply with results of my testing after my clans current wars, so it will be at least a day or two...

WB are just stupid, believe me. Wizards, minions and barbs and archers do well for defending

Imo, the best are archer, wizard, and dragon for clan castle defense
Pros and cons
Archer : easy donate, high dps, comes in number, 1 kill lightning
Wizard : hard to donate, splash, high dps and damage, few number, 1 kill lightning
Dragon : hard to donate, immune to lightning, high hp, lower dps, splash, flying

If the clan castle is really unlurable by wall breakers and hog rider, i'd say the best is dragon. Because dragons are immune to lightning, flying, high hp tank, etc. Basicly they will last longer and can only be killed by archer, wizard, minion, dragon, archer queen. Which means hogs, giant healer, and balloonion will have a hard time against dragon.
