I have major reservations about ever using healers. They die way to easily. They should only trigger one bomb type. Why have a gimmick tier four troop. The pekka is good the dragon is good, the healer is great on a dead base without bombs but if the base is live you have no shot to effectively use them.
I use them with success. Sure a seeking air mine takes them out every now and then, but it costs less than a heal spell, takes less time to make, and often works long/well enough to save me from dropping a heal spell.
Sometimes I bring two; the second one often lasts long enough be useful.
Bring two, and a heal spell.. If you're hog/giant spamming that'll be your best bet.
When one healer dies or doesn't seem to be dying send the second. Also, if you're able, try not to let them stack.
The spell is just incase both die.
Is it just me or are healers nearly useless at TH9 and above (assume a decently designed base)? Generally speaking there are 4 air defense and they are spread out enough that by the time your troops take out one air def, they healer is now in range of a second one anyway.
Below TH8 healers were amazing and kept my troops alive to regularly 100% most everyone. But TH8 they starting becoming difficult to use and at TH9 its just a complete waste. I recently tried them again a few attacks to see if it would be worth upgrading to lvl 4 and they were useless.
If CoC wants people to take a healer serious at higher TH lvls I think they need to change them some how.
This strategy uses healers effectively with giants and valkyries, give it a try :) That said, level 5 healers are probably a wee bit overdue...Quote:
