Useful cc troops

Ive been in a bunch of wars now and ive realized that everyone has different opinions on what to have in war cc and normal cc here are the good and bad things about some of the troops,

Giants: the good things are that they have a bunch of health, and they are powerful. The bad thing is that they take 5 housing space and only attack ground units.
Archers: the good things are they only take 1 housing space, they can take out almost anything if they are in lagre numbers. The bad thing is that you need a bunch of them.

Wizards: wizards are my personal favorite, the good thing about them is that they do a bunch of damage on multiple units. Another good thing is that only a perfect placed spell can kill them and you dont see many of those. You can take care of them by as i said a perfect placed lightning spell or using other wizards. Dont try to destroy wizards woth archers or else you will lose at least 40 of them.


There are so many others like witches and dragons but i lost everything in the middle of writing so i just made it short. Tell me what you guys prefer in your castles:D

I have never participated in a clan war but giants seem to be a bad troop. they are slow and easily taken out

They are i hate them but all my mates loves them so i decided to put them on there. Also just because i wanted to make them famous.

giants are the worst possible troop you can put in the war cc. even WBs are better.

they do very little damage per pop space and move really slow. I have no idea why someone would waste their war cc with giants.

for real, WBs will do more damage.

Well true, i could have added 59 more bad things about them.

Giants are horrible CC troops; I find high-level wizards to be best.

Giants suck. Low speed, low dps, high housing space. It's not like you have a healer in the CC with them...

Archers or wizards are best. Range, ground/air targeting, and are worth the housing space. A few wizards can obliterate a giant-healer attack, due to the splash damage. Archers are good too, if your clan mates don't want to shell out wizards' high training cost.

Giants are not ideal for defense; although some prefer to use them during attacks due to their "expensive" elixir price.

Of course, the most useful CC troops are archers and wizards hands down. Good to use both ways - defense and offense.

Dragons are great too - just make sure you have an unlureable castle, :cool:

Actually I don't prefer a group of Wizards as defense cc. The pictures tell it all.

Witches. They rock.

Why is the fact that you need a lot of archers to fill your Clan castle a bad thing? Archers are actually one of the best troops for CW. If your clan castle is in an unlurable position, it takes attackers HEAPS of troops to draw out all of your archers. And if they leave some inside, they will start to panic 99% of the time and will mess up the raid.

Giants are the worst possible troop for CW, I cannot understand why anyone would want them haha.

Wizards are pretty good, but the truth is everyone expects them. They take like 5 seconds to draw out even if your Clan Castle is in an unlureable position. However, if they are not drawn out, there is no way an attacker can win - unless he has a lightning spell.

Valkeryies are absolutely amazing for CW as well. Nobody expects them and if the attacker only brings tier one troops to take care of the valkeryie, they will need about 20 archers per valkeryie. A Clan castle of 25 spaces can hold 3 valkeryies, so that is 60 archers aproximately that can't be spammed on the valkeryies either, because they will be taken out in one hit. Definitely something to consider - even at level 1.

You mean golems "rock"?

On a related note, my clan has experimented using valkyries in CW. It has worked with varying success (has defended some raids brilliantly, others... not so much *cough dragons)

But I like witches and wizards, because skeletons can tank for days, and wizards take no time to mop up plenty of troops.

Just my thoughts.

I Used 15 Archers and Destroyed 6 Wizards :P
you just need to spread them out

Valkyries and wizzards are best troops in cc,either normal or clan war.

valks + wizards

Agreed, giants are absolutely horrible. they cant hit air units, they do no damage and too slow to keep up with anything but a pekka. absolutely useless for defence.

Archers are awesome for defence!^

Valks are good, but not for war unless you are up against town hall 7 or less. This is because at town hall 8, balloonion and mass dragons are probably the preferred attack strategies. they wreak havoc with any ground attacks though, I was barching in crystal 2 recently and 2 valks came out of the cc. I undersetimated them soooo much and ended up wasting almost a third of my troops on taking out the heroes and cc.

Dragons/wizards/minions are the best possible troops in any clan war clan castle. Archers are ok too. minions and dragons are probably the best because you can't lightning spell them :)

Aussie power!;)

I prefer lvl 5+ Archers for CC as its fast, versatile and deadly against giants standing just behind the walls :)
