Xbows... Do you fear them? What do you fear?

Chinobeer stole my thunder! Love attacking x-bows especially when they are empty, but seriously I'll skip most of them unless the loot is crazy good. Generally there are is going to be a better target to attack.

Exactly! If i have 5 to 10 Giantsi don't worry about xbows at all. By the time those Giants die I've done what I needed to do.

you need at least giant to block Xbows and with archers support to take it down!Low troops like barbs and archers has no chance without giant support to kill a xbow lvl 3

3) Bad design: if the storages are near the outer wall and I know I can pick them off for a profit, I'm in.

4) Lots of loot in collectors and mines. If I know I can pick these off for a profit then I'm in.

For the most part tho I tend to skip most th9s because I'm th8 and I have all the tiome in the world to deal with th9s later. Right now I have to take advantage of the fact I'm th8. :cool:

I love a premature town hall with xbows. I almost feel bad when I raid them!

I would raid a prem TH9 with an X-bow (even 2) any day,
over a TH8 with maxed defences. :)

I actually have a maxed TH8 (almost). I would have upgraded to TH9 if it werent for this last update. Now I want to max out my new AD before going. No rush I guess. Now I'll max out my DE barracks, mines and collectors, and as much walls as I can while I'm at it....

If there not loaded I don't care

If I can loot them without taking fire from then

If it's enough gold/DE I'll take it

Like most of the TH8's here, I skip them or the loot must be really great.
There are always easier towns to raid.

Most times I run without giants so then its out of the question any way.

Most villages have their X-bow set to ground targets only, and with an airborne army, my balloons make quick work out of it. What really makes me skip a village are maxed out Wizard Towers, or a well positioned Archer Queen. Those can be deadly.
