The fact that they only seek out air defense seems pretty lame compared to golems who hit all defenses.
AI pathing all over the base just to find an air defense makes them difficult to use effectively

Um yes, people in my clan use it. Just because no one replies on this thread does not mean no one uses it.Quote:

I just used 1 level 1 lava hound(in cc), 8 level 3 drags and 12 level 5 loons, with 3 rage and 1 heal. 2 star (91%) on a young th9 (i'm a young th9 too), with a core of air defenses, levels 7, 7, 6 and 3, and two sky facing level 1 xbows. Lava hound did it's job fine. After watching the replay a couple times I know how I could have 3 starred. I should have saved out 3 loons for the backside defenses that my remaining drags and queen couldn't get to quickly enough. My Level 6 loons will afford the army comp more flexibility, they're done in 3 days.
Next time i'll do 8 level 6 loons for the core 2-4 for the back side, maybe 2 loons and 5 minions.
The Lava hound did it's job. I cleared the defenses on one side with the drags and archer queen, when I was sure the loon would go straight for the core I deployed them, waited a sec and then deployed the Hound (hound is much faster). The hounds job was to tank for the loons and mitigate how much damage the drags took for that time it took the loons to rage in and rage out. So my troops would have enough life for clean up. As I said it was only a 2 star but I know that I could have 3 starred and will next time.

- Its simple AI, go to nearest air defence. It is probably the easiest AI unit to use.
- Makes it more effective. See my first point.
- When they die, you get free minions on fire :cool:
It'd be cool if they went to every air type defender. AD, Archers, Wiz Tower. As opposed to pathing across an entire base without support since nothing else paths similarly.Quote:

My question is, have YOU even used them?Quote:
