I have heard that there are techniques to minimize barb king damage. I don't understand, because they would target the barb king because of his huge HP.

Send him last?
Well, when I'm farming I will drop him after all the defenses are taken care of. Sometimes I use him as a shield, and more commonly I will use him sort of how you'd use a PEKKA when reverting someone or before I train a dragon army.
Meh, I only care to not damage the Queen, so send him in to tank for her. All that matters.
Or only use him to attack Town Hall or mines or any buildings in corners.
So basically don't try to put him into my attack strategy, that will result in me waiting for him every hour?
I can think of one battle that he actually made a difference in defensively (took out a few giants) for me, so I'd say if you're going to use him use him for offense.Quote:

Every once in a while I'll use him to get the last % to make 50 but that's only if there's an unprotected camp or builder's hut
send with 4 or 5 giant
Drop him when there are no defences attacking him or all the defences are down
I find him a bit of a dope really. He just barges right into trouble, not much of an IQ for a King! He'll go for something random and pointless while being pelted by canons or towers. Send him in last with some giants.
A bunch of giants [level 3+] > BK.
if anyone hasn't got him yet, don't bother.
Send him with couple of giants? Or... Send him with a healer? Or... Use the healing spell? There are many strategies..
In a normal attack, I just save him for speedier cleanup. If it's a tough base with good loot, then I'll use him as a part of the full-on attack - basically a free PEKKA that doesn't take up any camp slots.

Except you're not really choosing between giants or BK. The BK doesn't take up any slots, and you can send him in along with the rest of your troops. Granted, if you have to choose between gold/elixir for your regular troops and essential defenses vs dark elixir, it's a no-brainer - farming troops come first, then your critical defenses (mortars/wiz tower). But if your regular troops and other priority upgrades are done, and you are able to farm for DE, I don't see how extra firepower is ever a bad thing.Quote:
