Intimidation.
Harder to Barch.
Intimidation.
So i pay 3 million for intimidation ?? I think WT and Mortar do better job with barchQuote:

Put those two things together, and it quickly tears troops apart. Just keep them in range of your splash towers and you are golden.
I'm a barcher --- did it all the way to Masters as a 7 --- now that I'm an 8 I STILL bypass those bases with a Bow when barching. While they are not the end all to beat all they do add another defense turret.Quote:

That's faster than cannons, archer towers, mortars, and wizard towers. Teslas are the only ones that compete. But considering how xbows have a large range and they can attack air troops, they are ideal anti infantry defense, and they do work.
one word/phrase: killing wallbreakers- best are xbows and high level teslas but xbows have bigger range and look cool at lv. 3(I have two of those beasts)
Any new structure is worth building, regardless of how much damage it does (more HP on your base, harder 50%).
Is it worth upgrading over other defenses? Better question. I think wizard towers are the top priority at TH9, and after that I would focus on xbows. A level 1 xbow isn't much, but a level 3 really starts to help.
Actually it helps alot... 100 dps combined focused on your troops during most of the battle because of it's immense range.Quote:

range and when it is upgraded it does good damage also. keep it set to ground and it will do serious damage on every attack that hits you. not getting them asap is very dumb.
it has gotten to the point they are now underated on this forum. people talk like they suck. they are a very good deffensive structure.
they also have a ton of hitpoints.
agree. Set up your air defenses well so you can leave them on ground, keeping their excellent range where they are most effective. Also, the hit points is something that isn't talked enough about; they have over 3 times the HP of an archer tower! Get them built and upgraded earlyQuote:

If anyone says Xbows are bad... I have nothing to say...
They obliterate BARCH faster than the other guy's fingers can lay them down.
All farmers love wimp th9s without xbows, period.
Walls are for intimidation too. How much gold have you sunk into your walls? 3 million is a bargain by comparison.Quote:

The X-bow kill giants and hogs even with the heal spell on them because of the fast rate of fire.
I think it's much better than a mortar against barch because the mortar has to be very lucky to hit anything. By the time the shell touch the ground, the troops had already changed theyr position. With the x-bow that won't happen, they take big numbers of barch in no time.
I have to disagree. Let me explain.Quote:

Only 1,100 HP between 1 and 2 but if you have 10 compartment that's 11,000 HP! And that's 56,000 HP from 1 to 4! A level 5 wizard with 170 DPS needs 411 seconds just to breach every compartment in the 4th base - under fire from multiple defenses.
If you add the numbers enough you will reach the point of near impossibility of breaching a base.
