Ideally, your base moves the giants around the outside, and your xbows and tesslas in the core destroy the wizards when they move forward, however good use of spells and heroes, and weak defenses, means this isn't guaranteed. Even level 3 xbows and level 7 tessla won't necc. do the job, if the attacker throws a really heavy army at you.
Just get out there and raid lots, then spend asap to upgrade defenses...
