I think the ATs are a little much.

Why so much drama??? They do the same damage to high hp unit. I still barch/ballonion the same... If you struggled vs a th7-8 with lvl 6.giants you suck.

Don't know how to respond other than ... no way! ....


you sure you have level6 giant? my level 6 giants and BK have been doing fine so far today, against TH8 and 9 ..... not attacked a TH7 yet (will give t a go when I see one with enough loot)

Nice try though.

for single archer tower, it is true.

but when you combine AT with other defenses (MORTAR, WIZ TOWER, another AT,....), that statement will not hold.

Lol- well said

Low level barch - seems harder. L2 archers get nuked by L3 ATs. Solution - just go all barbs and get used to not three staring.

TH9 vs TH8/TH9 - no difference. Just lots more flying wood. I ground out 3M gold and lix this morning without issue.

Apparently TH10 ATs are a probem for barchers. I avoid TH10s anyway since I'm a TH9.

the do the same DPS, it won't matter to high HP units, it only matters to those tier 1 units


Arrow tower is not the only defense in the game

Mass archers never worked, mortars and WT's will take care of those, unless you were only going for collectors.

I love this update, premies are punished finaly. Only way to have trouble with this update is if you are premature with your village or troops. Live with the fact u wanted to much in too little time.

I was a maxed th 8 till today. I'll have to barch a little longer till I can afford a different army comp. It's just going to be hard for a bit.

I think supercell is intentionally pushing people away from cheap barcher type armies in favor of stronger more interesting army comps. . . I mean think about all the recent updates:

4th mortar, splash damage, bad for barching
faster shooting archer towers, better at attacking groups, bad for barching

also, with the 'economy rebalancing' there is now going to be more elixer and dark elixer floating around. . . meaning people can build more expensive armies. Again, that makes barching less attractive. Just a few thoughts.

Also. . . I think it only really affects barching if you are attacking a town hall much higher than your own. After the update it will kill your troops at the same rate unless the AT is so much stronger than your archer/barbs that it is killing them with one shot.
