Today was the first day I used hogs since the update. I sent out 14 level 3 hogs. I got hit once with level 6 mortar, a couple cannons hit a couple hogs, and a level 2 giant bomb went off, and all my hogs died.
In all past hog attacks, level 2 bombs would take my hogs to 1/2 health or so.
Ive survived double level 2 bombs in the past, and now I see 14 level 3 hogs evaporate after 1 single level 2 big bomb.
Hard to accept.
Just goes to show you didn't place your troops carefully enough and assumed you would win :rolleyes: Giant bombs do 1.5x damage on hogs, so a lvl 2 giant bomb does 300 damage on a hog.
In the last update, giant bombs now do 1.5x damage to hogs.
If that's the case, troop placement doesn't mean squat. Most people I attack have 4 bombs. And if a bomb is that powerful (let alone a crappy level 2 bomb), I find it near impossible to avoid all four bombs.Quote:

Yep! That is the nerfing Supercell did, i have that happen all the time! It gets me frustrated.
Unless the base sucks, it's pretty hard to manage with anything lower than level 4 hogs.
spread out your hogs it actually works with level 1 hogs even dont bunch them up unless you use lots of spells which are a waste
attack from multiple directions and try and trigger the giant bombs with other troops.
edit - or 1 hog.
anti-hog base: attack at your own risk, you might want to change strategy like attacking with full dragons
I'm already 2 days into my level 4 hog upgrade.
But taking my dragons to level 3 looks like the best option as far as war goes, especially now that everyone has sucked their heroes into the deepest part of their bases.
Just really frustrating to see hogs get phased out like this.
