I'm always "wondering" something lol. But ummm.... I personally have no fear of xbows on this game. They don't seem to hurt me as much. I'm "wondering" if anyone else will not a skip a match based off xbows...
Things that will make me skip:
level 6+ wizard towers
level 7 mortars
level 15+ heroes
Level 10 walls
Well placed Level 5 clan castle (without lightning)
for me x-bows mean I have to change my approach dramatically, i like to take my time with bases, think it out a bit, pick off the outer buildings and then in for the loot, but these firehoses of death mean speed is of the essence.
I've had a LOT of 30 second raids against xbows, usually ending up at 25% but hopefully with cash in hand....rage helps if it's worth it.
I like to do all archer and barb attacks but if I'm in like the 2000s I normally have some giants to soak of up the damage. Only thing i don't like about xbows is I have to use all my troops everytime. I try to do some lazy farming but xbows do mess that up.Quote:

X-Bows I have perfect tactics for them, albeit different from my original, they work and seem to disarm the defence quickly. I agree with Daddy though, speed is key when dealing with them.
xbows have tremendous range and fire very rapidly making mince meat out of things like wall breakers and other incoming troops. They are all about attrition.Quote:

I personally have a lot of respect for bases with xbows. I realize that in order to be successful against a base that has them, I have to get in there and get the resources within 30seconds to a minute after I start my main assault. Bases with centrally located xbows and segmented storage are right out for me.
High level heroes aren't a problem for me and I never see level 10 walls. I always skip bases with level 7 mortars. High level wizard towers guarding storages are also a skip for me. Centrally located CC isn't necessarily a problem unless it is combined with segmented storages and other high level defenses.
If I see 600k total loot but the guy has 1 X-bow, I press next fairly quickly
crossbows frighten me b/c i am lvl 46 as u are prob much higher...
Unless i can get 100k+ of each resource really easily, ill skip
This predominately lazy farmer avoids xbows most of the time. I tell myself that there is an easier battle out there somewhere...and usually there is. That's the nice thing about being a TH8 still.
Im lvl 64 lvl 4/5 army TH8. I seem to struggle vs a xbow tend to skip them, if you have some uber strat vs them plz do share :). stuff to avoid imo is a base that has defenses that outmatch your army lvl.

PHI have a hard time with leveled up heroes because I try to sneak around them lol. Alot of times I end battling a hero near mortars because i don't have the patience to lure the heroes out to fair ground.
