I'm about to build my first dark barracks and I'm particularly interested on hog riders. Are they any good and would they be more effective to send straight in with a group of raged giants or to use them to flank along side archers

I have been attacked with minions a few times but never with hog riders or valkyries. I also rarely see the latter two in villages. Have these been a huge flop?
I've also been attacked by minions, they seem ok. I really want to build Valkyries but I can't since I'm th7. I hear they are great at dispensing ground cc troops. But hog riders seem really good on paper. Nearly same defense as giants, and about twice the damage output and speed. I don't see why they wouldn't be popularQuote:

Well said, get the hog riders because you have to on the road to valks.Quote:

Just to try them out.

And one thing is sure.
You need to clear the buildings outside the walls before launching them!
Otherwise what's the point?
But after that they did a wonderfull job getting defences and resources that was hard to get otherwise.
Specially on very segmented defences :cool:
I would use them again!
I love Valks but they take too long to train so I don't often use them. I use minions with my all-air army which I use from time to time to break away from the monotony of my barb-arch combo. I think I can find some use for Mr Ts but I'll wait till I've leveled them up to try them out again because they die fast.
I used to use valkarie to dispose of CC troops but then I realized that she is too expensive for her purpose so I stopped using her.
Hog riders absolutely SUCK! They might be better when upgraded but that will take 2 months and 140k DE.
However I think they may be useful with the Golem. While the defense is shooting at Golem send in the hog rider to jump over the wall to destroy it... but why? When you could just use archers to shoot the defense down while they shoot at Golem... why not just use a wall breaker so that all your troops can progress into the base...
So Again I will state that the hog rider SUCKS and is useless!
I used a few hog riders when I unlocked them and haven't used one since. I think the other troops do the job better and more efficiently.
I love and use lev 2 minions! Dropped behind dragons the work great in an air attack . Drags eat the air bombs and minions, while weak in health inflict pretty good damage. I have a few archers In the attack to take out an air defense if exposed. I may try HR with a ground attack. Good tip on disposing of exterior building before deploying Mr. T!
