How do you use wall breakers now?

I attempt to attack a poorly designed box village, I have 8 wall breakers, barbarians, and archers. I place barbs down to distract the defenses, then place down 2 WB's who immediately run off to the left of where they were placed only to get shot by cannon. I repeat this pattern 4 times, each time the WB's would go left or right of where I placed them, making the barb distraction useless. At least on the 4th attempt, ONE WB hit.... Soooooo, how do you use WB's? Has the game been manipulated to the point that if Supercell allows, a WB will hit a wall?

sounds like you're just planning out your wb pathing very poorly

I just don't.

I use them to blow up walls. What else?

At this point I've nearly figured out where WBs would go, so unless I'm tired or feeling arrogant I usually will get a sucessful hit.

Breakers will always go towards corners if close enough. This is why a good base design can deter good attacks. I would suggest changing the point of entry into the base. Each base has several weak and strong points.

It seems like the wb AI has follow the new AI that units target the same wall. Im not so sure but it feels like it

Nope. I have used WB's extensively with success. There is nothing, no skill, no placement that will make any difference when the WB's go on a route that leads to them getting shot. Had the WB's ran straight from where they were placed, they would have hit. I did the same thing 4 times, place down distraction, place WB's and it only partially worked once when really, if the game mechanics were not manipulated should have worked every time, or at least at a better percentage than 1 for 7.

This was not a well designed base... it was a box with everything in the middle.

Wow! Your coordinates of ur wb are waaaaaaaaayyyy off! It is not an ai change it is that u put ur wb's on the wrong coordinate!!!

Yeah... That is how it should be, but that does not explain why WB's would so wildly veer left or right from where they are placed. What is the point of placing a WB in an area with a wall directly in front of it only to have the WB run off in a different direction? This really is a little thing, haha troops be stoopid, but it is a PURE example of the game being manipulated which brings into question the integrity of the game manufacturer. Why should we pay money for a product that don't work right?
