Luring Clan Castle troops

So during clan wars I had something interesting happen to me that's never really happened before.

I scout the base, I know the spot to send my troops to draw out the clan castle.

I send a hog, clan castle troops get drawn out, but my hog dies pretty quickly, so I send another one to the same area to make sure there are no more left. The hog stays there for about 8 seconds, then dies, but, no more troops come out. I kill the troops, then proceed with my balloon attack. As soon as I get in range of where the hogs were just at, 3 lvl 6 wizards come out and lay waste to most of my balloons, my attack now ruined.

So, my next attack, I send some archers to clear way for a Dragon to draw out the troops...had to use a Dragon bc of how centralized it was and I wanted something to stay alive long enough to draw out the troops. The troops get drawn out and actually kill my Dragon, I then proceed to kill the CC troops and begin with my attack. I send giants this time, and as soon as the giants get through the walls, 2 level 6 wiz once again wreck my ♥♥♥♥, and my attack is over before it even starts. It was like the wiz were throwing a surprise party for my troops.

2 things...since CC troops are basically defense, why can't hogs, giants, balloons target them...and two...how come it takes like 25 seconds for them all to come out?? This is irritating...and I'm a veteran of clan wars, so it's not like I just rush in...I make sure to draw them all out before I even begin my attack, and I'll even send in another troop in after I kill them off just to make sure.

Has this happened to anyone else?

You have make sure you get them all out. Better to waste troops making sure you got the castle than to spoil the raid all together :rolleyes:

What a lot of people are doing is filling a 25 castle with 17 archers and 2 wizards. This makes it take forever to pull everyone. I would just throw in 2-3 hogs for the pull.

A veteran for clan wars eh? Then you should know that troops deployed from the same spot may attack a tower from a different angle which may be closer or farther from the CC. Deploy 2 hogs, one attacks the tower from an angle farther away from the cc than the other and only 1 hog may be doing the luring.

Also just count the troops that come out. If the CC holds 25 and only 10 archers come out, obviously it wasn't a full lure.

On my second attack, I seriously thought I was golden bc of the fact that the clan troops actually killed the Dragon....much to my surprise the lvl 6 wiz were just waiting for me lol.

Just irritated bc this never happens to me, as in always warry of CC troops in clan wars, so I always make sure..then this happens to me back to back lol. I'm a maxed out TH7, and I almost always get between 4-6 stars, usually attacking TH8s with horrible air defense (not centralized).

Needless to say, I've never felt more like a noob in my life on this game lol

It was a ♥♥♥♥ load of archers..that came out...didn't count them all bc they were kind of bunched up...just assumed that was all of them. I realized my mistakes...and I feel like such a noob for even posting this...was maybe trying to get some good pointers for luring out centralized CC troops, since obviously my last two attempts were utter failures

It happens. I have failed to lure full CC and drop 28 hogs, whom died in about 7 seconds to CC wiz.
