New Giant Bombs Make Hogs Completely Useless...

Hello Supercell,

I just have a minor complaint about the new change to the giant bombs. Now, with the 1.5x damage against hogs, the giant bomb (even at level 1), when placing two side by side, can completely wipe out maxed hog riders. I agree that they needed to be nerfed a bit (the hogs), but this makes them completely useless. After spending so much dark elixir on maxing out my hogs, they die to lvl 1 giant bombs that are placed together?... C'mon.

I just don't think that was really fair because that completely defeats the purpose of hogging.

I don't think your post is really fair because everybody wanted hogs to be nerfed before. Also, it's your fault you placed your hogs in a stupid location. Why can't people put on their BIG BOY PANTS and use some strategy.

Just use a new stratagy and you wont have to worry👍

Why are people such d***s for no reason?
Anyways, I see your point about it being a total bummer when a bunch of your (extremely pricey) hogs get wiped out by something so cheap. But I recommend sending one or two out first to test the path. Then send the rest.

Then you've learned your lesson. Don't spam hogs. Have strategy

Most of the hog complaint threads have been nonsense, this however holds weight IMO.

The fact that two giant bombs at LEVEL 1 can kill a pack of MAX HOGS went too far.

If I could see into the future I would never have upgraded my Giant Bombs.

They should nerf the extra damage to hogs to something like x1.25. It is indeed stupid that level 1 giant bombs can wreck hogs. (unlike how lvl 1 Wizard Tower can't one shot skeletons)

The heroes update was to encourage new strategy, people have had to completely redo BARCH because of it, it encouraged a new way of thinking than the old strategy that everyone copied.

And what does that have to do with the fact that two level 1 giant bombs can kill max hogs?

Test bombs, send hogs in waves, or check out the guides the forumers have made! Here's one
