Clan castle dragons are WAY overpowered

Anyone that's used dragons knows that they can get shot down extremely quick without destroying certain defenses first. Air defenses and archer towers gun them down almost immediately. However when put in. Clan castle after the update, they do way too much damage

Ive gone up against a dragon three times after the update, and each time I've lost the battle because of it. Not only do they do splash damage now but they can't only be shot by archers or wizards. Every time you try to shoot it down with archers they just get obliterated instantly. They do little to no damage to it and have to use ALOT of troops to take it out.

This isn't the only problem, the main problem is that lightening spells don't even effect the dragon. You put them down and they don't even do damage to it. It says ground and air but it just doesn't hurt it.

Basically supercell, you've made the dragons way to powerful as a clan castle troop. It's made me loose multiple battles and I'm probably not the only one. If you read this, please consider trying to fix it...

Thank you for reading.

Either lure it out or get destroyed by it.

Dragons in the CC are complete bullc**p now, my troops just got annihilated for the fifth time in an attack just because of a dragon. 24 level 6 giants, taken out in 3 breaths of a dragon, about 4 seconds. Even my healers, balloons, and minions are blown out of the air by dragons, it's ridiculous. My goblins don't stand a chance, one fire breath takes the whole group out. I have absolutely no way of killing a dragon either, anything that can attack it is very weak and is immediately killed by the dragon.

Something needs to be done about them.

Dragons are probably one of the easiest for me. Just lure it out in a dark corner, separate archers around the dragon so splash damage doesn't kill them at once. Then in less than 10 seconds the dragon is dead. Simple.

Im not seeing your problem. I send out waves of 15 archers at a time in a fairly spaced circle/semi circle and the dragon is gone in a surprising amount of time. And people seem to have no problem with my dragon. Im TH7, so the CC can only be so centred i suppose. But I don't find it to hard to get rid of dragons. (Im farming if it makes a difference)

They are easy to take care of, just lure it out into a corner and surround it with archers from All sides so its splash damage doesnt effect them.

I don't use archers. I'm TH9, and I hate using archers, and even if I liked them, it's hard to farm well with them with the types of matches I find.

Regardless, I shouldn't have to use one certain type of troop to take out a dragon, and dragons shouldn't be able to decimate my brigade of giants in less than 4 seconds.

there are strategies to deal with different clan castle troops.

Dragons are strong is clan castle but i don't think they are overpowered.
Keep in mind that they cost alot as well.

You just need the right strategy to deal with them and not let them run riot and ruin your raid unchecked.
Releasing mass goblins while there is a dragon around is just suicide and if it takes all your goblins out in 1 hit then it is your fault... not the game design's fault.
Also never deploy all your archers in 1 spot against a dragon. I seen it a few time against me already massive waste of army...

Maybe I should say less and enjoy replays more :)

Dragon is not only taken out by archers.
You can also deploy your own dragon, use wizards, or minions to deal with dragons.
Another idea is to lure it out then place a single barb on a far off building, the dragon will fly towards that lone unit while you have free reign of their base for some time.
I don't see how it forces you to use archers. it just just not tactically sound to allow a dragon to cook your giants in a group to start with... I carry a few barbs to lure CC troops first.

COC is a strategy game for a reason...

Every time I've been ruined by a dragon, it was only after it spawned after a minute or so. I would obviously have never deployed all my troops if I knew they would be instantly annhilated by a dragon. Again, I shouldn't have to use one certain type of troop to take out a dragon. A pekka is one "level" higher, yet still takes longer to create, costs more, moves slower, and has overall much less destructive power than dragons too, and no other troop, or even tower, for that matter, has as much destructive force as a CC dragon, so there's obviously an imbalance here. No other troop or tower can now down 24 level 7 giants in an instant, and it's absurd how easy it is for dragons to do so.

With the last update, the dragons now have spash (Multi-target on same square) damage. This isn't so much a bug as getting used to the new change, so I'm moving this to the strategy section.

To me, the problem isn't that dragons are too strong (you can counter them, after all), but that the supposedly " better" PEKKA is too weak.

I agree. I actually prefer to have a mouldy turkey in my castle than a well done cow. Pekkas should do area damage to, like the valkyries. It wouldnt make much of a difference in attack, only in def.

Just get a dragon in your CC and annihilate your opponents. OR be strategic about it (CoC is a strategy game) and lure them out. Yes, I have been dumb and gotten killed by a dragon in a CC, but I wasn't paying attention and it was my bad... Not the game's fault.

I don't attack for trophies so I have not run into this problem much. However, it does help your defense if you do the same thing yourself. I usually can keep a lvl 3 dragon in my clan castle for up to a week because my CC is in the dead center of my layout. It won't come out until the outer walls are breached, and by that time attacker usually does not have enough archers in reserve to lure it out. If injured slightly it just re-heals in the CC before the next attack. Of course that means that I can't use my clan on offense, since my clannies might get annoyed by me asking for a dragon every 20 minutes. I think adding PEKKA partial fire resistance would be a useful next update to help the trophy hunters with this problem.

Lightning needs to be changed, other than that it's just luring it out if it is able to be lured. You should expect the worst if you attack and the clan castle is centred. Oh and it's also the same for balloons.

Back when I was a noob I thought archers were useless and weak too...

Now I use archers only and I'm swimming in loot.

I prefer dealing with a dragon in the CC to mass archer and barbarian. The reason being it takes too long to get all the archers and barbs out. Sometimes after dropping a few troops I'm like "omfg are they all out yet?" So much wasted time!!! At least when the dragon is out you know it's the last troop. You lure it out, kill it (awww u need archers), and move on...

Adapt or quit the game. Looks like you're not willing to adapt, so...

I dont get wht u mean. Drags r 1 of the strongest units and r very durable. AD and archer towers wont kill drags immediately. For ur clan castle drags, lure it 2 a corner and place circles if archers on in. This would kill it easily while only using only 10-15 archers.

Yes, drags are easier to kill than wizards.

Lol seriously, I prefer 20 archers in CC than a dragon.

Its called splash damage.

To those that complain about their giant spam being destroyed, maybe find out whats in the CC before spamming all your giants?

Yeah, i am convinced that CoC is rigged against attackers. All it took was some yahoo to cry out that his base was wiped by five dragons so creators of the game started adding air defenses to the point that most aerial attacks are a failure. Some kid whined about how easy he gets beaten so creators started f@cking with clan castle. When you point that out to them the response is always the same "You don't know what you're doing" or "its to early to fight for trophies at your level". I figure it is worthless to pay money for this game, you can spend serious dough mustering most advanced & most powerful army just to find out most you can do with it is one-star opponent with fully upgraded defenses.

Just to add fuel to the OP's fire, I was just raided recently and had a Lv2 dragon in my CC. The person raiding must have been a noob because he had 97 lv5 archers (along with other troops) and got wiped out. Guess he didn't know how to deploy efficiently. And yes, the dragon survived and is still happily living in my CC. Well, I don't actually know if it's happy or not...at least it's not pooping all over my carpet.:)

when I see a dragon or P.E.K.K.A. i just give up

Nah just lure it and spread archers

I've tried 15 Lvl5 Wizards in a circle and the CC Lvl 3 Dragon took them out in 2 breaths. I've tried a hoard of Lvl5 Archers (semi circle) didn't slow the CC dragon down.
We've just been completely obliterated in our last war because of CC dragons.
What the heck will take these things down?

A few people I have seen used different tactics to take down a level four Dragon, so I don't think a level three would be too different.

- 5 level five Wizards, and 6 level one Minions.
- 20 level five Archers.
- 1 level one dragon and 3 level two minions.

Overpowered? I don't think so. They did cost 3mil to upgrade to level 3 to begin with, so I would hope they hold their own defending the CC in wars.

I'm not sure what people are not understanding here. Dragons are not difficult to take out so long as they can be lured.

If you can get one to pop out of the CC before starting your main attack, you are golden. you just have to kite it out to an empty corner of the base (not just to the edge, you need to be out IN THE OPEN to ensure your archers/minions/wizards or whatever troop do not get distracted and start targeting surrounding buildings. They all need to focus on the dragon).

Drop troops with space between them, circle, semi-circle, whatever you like.

The dumbest mistake I see people make are dropping their offensive clan castle to take on the dragon. That only ensures the troops all come out onto one single tile on the map, which the dragon's splash dmg will eat up their troops easily.

Just be smart and

1) lure dragon out into the open
2) drop troops in semi or full circle around the dragon
3) watch it die quickly, then proceed with your raid. Easy.

Supercell has given me a tool to deal with a certain threat. I don't like to use that tool. That threat wipes out my troops, I'm going to get on the forums and complain about the threat and call it OP. When people suggest I use the tool that SC has given me. I'll ignore them and continue to complain.

Can someone close this necro thread? The original post was a year and a half ago, I think they have their answer.

Haha obviously you DIDN'T deploy the wizards in a circle. The dragon can only kill one wizard at a time if you did, meaning it takes at least 15 breaths to kill the wizards, in which time the dragon is dead 10 times over. I can kill a dragon with 4 wizards.

Dragon is my most common clan castle opponent. I can destroy any level dragon very quickly with 15 archers + wizard or two after I pulled it to a corner/undefended spot.

If you don't like using archers against it, use minions or wizards. It's not rocket science dyyyyyyyyyds!

LOL, dragons are the easiest cc troop to kill. I'm stoked when someone is trying to protect their base with a dragon, even if it's level 4.

Just train like 10 archer and 2-3wiards and then say bye bye to it

hahhahahhahhahahhahahhaha




Dragons are simple - piff


Just lure our, surround with archers OR wizards that are spaced out enough to negate any splash damage

Watch dragon get helplessly pelted.

I find a mix of archers/wizards are best


Try a clan castle of 35 archers or 33 archers and 2 wizards that isn't an easy lure. They're JUST archers! And now they will be level 7 pretty soon.

Or 2 Witches and a mix of archers/wizards/vaklyrie

or...


Dragons are a solid CC troop no doubt but like anything they can be easily dealt with.




And if you think you "shouldn't need to bring a specific troop type to...."

Archers/wizards/witches or any decent CC troop is easily handled with a handful of barbs and archers once lured to a corner.

lol i dont even worry when i see a dragon in the clan castle, i just continue with the attack because they dont do much to me...only thing i worry about is wizards and archers dragons are easy work my friend just gotta learn how to deal with each troop
if you struggle wit dragons wait till you see two witches.... jeez...

This thread is 1+ year old...:rolleyes:

then u didnt do it right two breaths is 7 in one so u clumped them to close

I agree this needs a major fix, either make the archers automatically shoot the dragon instead of structures or decrease the radius of the attack. Having a single dragon annihilate 50 archers in one breath is just ridiculous, and probably even worse then the wizards in the cc these days.

If you are having problems with cc dragon, you are probably doing it wrong. Easiest method is to feed the dragon one barb at a time while a arc of archers keep pounding away at the dragon. If you drop the barb right below the dragon, the dragon will be distracted by the barb and will ignore your archers. Keep feeding the dragon with barbs until it is dead.

I don't agree AT ALL.

I think dragons are WORTHLESS in defense in war. And if you farm like you expect there to be a dragon in the CC, it's no concern. They die very, very easily if you lure and handle appropriately. A handful of archers will get it done. Same with a handful of minions. Put it this way--it's not a factor AT ALL when I farm or when I go to war. I've been more foiled by a well placed air bomb than by a dragon when loonioning... and when farming via archers and things, it just gives me something to focus on for a moment.

Its not overpowered rather overrated. Dragons are easy to lure out of CC. Maybe you just forget to lure it thats why you got destroyed by it

Not much of a tip if you're already under fire from mortars and cannot manage to lure it away if its dead in the center. Furthermore even if this is the best strategy, Your troops will be chewed up and depleted by quite a bit when the dragon is finally dead.

Nothing more funny than watching someone stack 10-12 dragons and wizards destroy them all in a few seconds during war.

---

Why would you do this in the range of a mortar? Why would you be engaging the cc troops in the middle of the base? These are all ear marks of a poor raid. Clearly a smart raider would have checked cc first while a poor raider wouldn't. When it is hard to check cc, a smart raider always use wb/giants/gob/loons/hogs to check cc. How would your troops be dead and chew up if you are feeding it one single barbarian every 2 seconds???? Once again, you are doing it wrong. Conversely, no matter what troop you have, if you engage the defending cc dragon in the middle of the town while under fire from wizard towers and mortars, I guarantee you you will ALWAYS FAIL (with the exception of using freeze spell and using cc troops to bait your troops to the core)! Please stop complaining about the game, read up, and learn to be a smarter raider. Really, anyone competent would know dragons are a noob unit in defense ... when I see a dragon pop out of the cc in clan war, I always lol and know we're facing a nooby clan.

Sadly, you're proving his case.

PS. What is your gold grab? Mine is 850 million plus, and 1.2 billion if I include my mini .... I know a thing or two about raiding while you sound like you don't.

Meh, drags are a pretty decent CC defense troop (especially early TH lvls) but I don't think they're all that great.

When you start getting around 30+ CC cap I would much rather have things like wizards, witches, archers, valks etc.

Personally I like around 3-4 wiz, rest arch. This means many more troops to lure (rather than just 1 plus a few with a drag) and troops will have to be in the CC radius longer to lure them all out which can take quite abit of time on high cap CC's ....meaning they have to expend more troops to lure and usually get pummeled by defenses in the process.

On a max lvl CC though I like to go with 2-2-3 (2 witch, 2 wiz, 3 arch/barbs).

Drags are good though no doubt, but anyone with half a brain can easily lure CC and deal with it before they botch their raid.

It's the idiots that drop all their giants/ground units and then find out there's a drag in the CC that have the issues.

There's not really any CC troop that is unable to be dealt with, as long as you are careful. Strong wizards will take care of pretty much anything the CC can throw at you, as long as you pull them away from base defenses and you spread out your spawn.

True story! The weakest wizards are the ones that are easily baited and killed. The deadliest cc wiz are the ones that you missed with a bad bait. Realistically you only need 2 or so wiz to mess up someone's raid completely. Having a large number of archers is a great way to increase the chance of a bad cc bait.

The dragons in the clan castles are the most frustrating thing about this game. Everything else is fairly balanced but when everyone of my troops dies to ONE dragon then something needs to be done. I wouldn't be upset if the 47 archers i used to lure it out one by one would have actually attacked the dragon. The archers should attack the dragon when the troops are unleashed against it instead of a building. Meanwhile 47 archers, 12 giants, 20 hog riders, healer and a wizard die in 2-5 shots from the dragon. This has got to be fixed from the amount of threads on this topic.

Somehow this doesn't make sense. You should surround the dragon with archers, not deploy all of them in the same place, if that's what you mean about the archer part.

About the giants/hogs/healer etc. part, it's completely your fault. In giant-healer and hog raids, it is absolutely necessary to lure the cc (with a dragon being one of the worst possible nightmares that will come to you if you forget, another example being the wizard). If you don't, then duh--all your troops will die.

The clan castle is there for a reason. Learn to lure it out (if using these types of attacks), kill it, and continue on with the attack. I personally rarely struggle with a dragon in the CC (takes about 10-15 archers to take it down, maybe even fewer if you're smarter than me at placement, which might be true ;p), yet I love keeping one in my own for defense just to watch noobs spam giant-healer right into nothingness. (Wizards work too, but dragons are even more annoying because of their high AP (and because it flies).

And yah lol the necrobump...

EDIT: The exact same strat applies to killing a cc valk/wizard, so don't anyone start another thread about them...lol

If you don't pull cc than you lose... I mean, it is pretty basic. If you are up against a good TH9 or TH10 it can be very hard to pull cc but it is the first thing you should be doing (unless you are just doing a barcher raid). Use a few hogs or a few balloons, pull out whatever is in the cc, and then kill it in the corner where you can strategically deploy troops. If you don't like archers you don't have to use them but they are good in a situation like that.

Maybe overpowered for lower levels
never have a problem with gowipe and enemy dragon

its also great as a defence against lavaloonion :cool:

Ive gone up against a dragon three times after the update, and each time I've lost the battle because of it. Not only do they do splash damage now but they can't only be shot by archers or wizards. Every time you try to shoot it down with archers they just get obliterated instantly. They do little to no damage to it and have to use ALOT of troops to take it out.

This isn't the only problem, the main problem is that lightening spells don't even effect the dragon. You put them down and they don't even do damage to it. It says ground and air but it just doesn't hurt it.

Basically supercell, you've made the dragons way to powerful as a clan castle troop. It's made me loose multiple battles and I'm probably not the only one. If you read this, please consider trying to fix it...

Thank you for reading.

If you are using tier 1 troops you NEED to lure it or your attack will end in disaster.

After you lure it into the corner (or somewhere out of reach of defenses) you just surround it with archers, and ... BOOM, dead dragon! :D

Extra Tip: Make sure NEVER to deploy your troops in a pile, dragon or no dragon.

I take in 2 witches 2 wizzys 3 barbs and lure their CC, I havent seen a CC I havent been able to lure yet, and havent seen a CC that I havent been able to kill off with my CC. Have a strategy going into battle and you will be fine.

I love it when I see a dragon in a clan castle. It's only one troop, so it is insanely easy to trigger and lure. For the person that resurrected the thread, you should use either one hog or one giant to trigger the castle, a few archers to lure it to a corner, and surround it with archers. Dead within seconds.

Noobs are way underpowered.
