I'm just wondering which is better to use, i will finally have access to golems in slightly over a day but i'm not sure if i should even use them until they are maxed or atleast level 2. I'm th8 and raid mostly developed th8's and th9's that i consider a beatable target.
So my question is simple, 2x Level1 golems or 12x level5 giants?
Depends on how you deploy them and how you attack. I'm assuming you use giants already. You might want to experiment with your new troop. You might find a way to use both or you ought find something new or you might have sort of wasted an upgrade on your new troop.
I will be using them in typical gowipe attack tactics, as of now i use 12 giants to act as golems.

This will allow you to raid much more frequently in the same amount of time, which should translate to more loot stolen.
I tried my golems once at level 1 during a trophy push and have not used them since, but have upgraded them to level 4, as I thought they were kind of weak at that level. This was in Crystal 1/Master 3.
However, if I were you, I would experiment with the new troop and see how it does for you.
Hope this helps. :D
I will definatly be giving them a chance but i plan to use them rather than giants when i do heavy ground attacks for clan wars, i will be sticking to giants when i'm farming for the cheaper cost.
Thankyou for your opinion!

For you I would say use 5 giants no need to waist de on golems that are not maxed. Over all thought golems are better... very frustrating to see all 5 giants go flying due to a spring trap.Quote:

I'd probably stick with the giants, the reduced training time, cost and increased quantity will make all the difference.
give them a go though - they're cool to watch.
If you are attacking a strong base, i recommend you to use golemns as they have alot of health. If you are farming, then use giants because its cheap.
My thoughts exactly, but i'll see how they do.

Don't forget that golems turn into two golemites so doing just a comparison of HP, we get:
1. 2 L1 golems = 4500 * 2 + 900 * 4 = 12,600 HP
2. 12 L5 giants = 12 * 670 = 8,040 HP
That's a really simple analysis because it doesn't take into account the greater effect of splash damage on 12 giants versus two golems, the fact that giants will do more damage, or the fact that golems and golemites do splash damage when they die.
This is extremely helpful, thank you. I can't wait to give the mighty golem a go and see how i do with it!

I prefer giants unless im doing gowiwi. Giants deal more damage in groups. (You can have more due to housing space differnce. And they distract more infernos. Also the build time and de is very valuable for most people.
I only plan on using them in clan wars, i never really trophy push because i find it pointless unless you're going for some kind of low th in champion record or you are a maxed th10, From the information i have gathered in this thread they will be alot better for my CW attacks because they are immune to spring traps and giants are more prone to splitting up anf being flung off the map.

I use my lvl 2 golems in clan wars and they are a much better meat shield then giants. Sometime i use gowipe as an overnight build also. They are great and do not need to be maxed i dont know why people say that wbout like every troop. I got them lvl 2 at th8 and they were great.
Depends on which one do you use ofen.
Yup! Spring trap immunity is a big plus!! And really, I don't see the training time being as issue when both Dark barracks are upgraded to level 4. If training Gowipe, it take about 45 mins to train both Golems, 45 mins to train both Pekkas, and about 40 something minutes for the wiz etc. So it pans out perfectly!! I unlock Golems in a week btw!!!

The attack strength of the golems is kind of a non-issue. They really are a tank unit to attract attention so your "glass cannon" wizards and do the spanking and open up a nice corridor for the pekkas.
And as mentioned, immunity to spring traps is a massive advantage.
😘😘😘🙈🔫😱
the training time isn't even that big of an issue. If you make a gowipe or something, if you use giants, it'll just take longer since the dark barracks aren't even being used
It seems like Gowipe is more reliable to me. the golems cant get sprung out by spring traps. not to mention a golem has the health of 9 giants so if the giants split they wi die much quicker
Check the date before you post.Quote:
