What kind of troops should be used as defense for clan wars???

We are currently using archers, wizards, and dragons for defense (all level 4 or above, but usually 5 or maxed).
We fill any clan castle under 20 troop capacity with wizards and archers and any clan caslte with 20 or above troop capacity with a dragon and archers and wizards. My question is: Should I fill the cc with more than 20 spaces with something other than a dragon? Or is my strategy good? I works well but the dragon survives the attack (most times) and any extra troops get killed almost instantly. Also, I have noticed minions have better DPS and HP at level 1 compared to archers at level 4, would they be a better alternative? Thanks!

Are best cc troops. For the players with 15 spaces I do x3 lv5 wizards, and x2 lv5 barbarians because the barbs get close to there troops and meat shield wizards. For 20 spaces lv3 dragon or 5 lv5 wizards are key for 20 space. For 25 spaces, 5 wizards, 5 barbs or dragon and a hog cause it makes it hard for them to target the dragon cause hog jumps around and distracts. Hope this strategy helps you as much as it does for me

A valk in ones where a drag won't fit totally pwns

seriously...the cc lure is the most annoying...

Witches can really mess up a ground attack. Just one would do it with some wiz and arch her skeletons are a great distraction.

Agree.
I filled pretty much the whole raid with lvl 2 witches the other day, with the flowing results:
In the TH9/TH10 match ups, they were really useful, as most attacks were gowipe or similar, and the witch minions kept spawning and it was a real distraction. For the TH8 and lower, most attacks were dragons, and the witches were killed very quickly.

Yes, but minions also take up twice as muck housing space as archers, so to find comparative DPS you should multiply damage of archers by 2, corresponding to the housing space.

Anything that targets both ground and air can be used to defend a castle. If u want, have a Valkyrie along with a dragon to kill those archers trying to lure it!

Loon 4 wiz couple arch for th8
witch loon 3 wiz couple arch th9

i would use a dragon or wizards :) *Since many clans use that
