Is there a bug with wizard aiming the targets?

I have noticed quite a few times, but today during a raid it has become very obvious.
During the raid, I have lured out a bunch of archers, get them aggregated in the corner, then dropped a few barbarian/archers, with a single wizard in the back (after the line of my archers) to (hopefully) clear out the cc troops. However, I noticed that the wizards keeps raising the hand without firing a single shot, and it appears that every time the wizard is aiming something, that unit is destroyed by the archers, then the wizards forfeits this attack and retries the next one, then it got destroyed before the wizard could fire. Basically the wizard kept doing this all the time, till all the archers were destroyed and itself was destroyed, without being able to fire out a single shot.
What's more, I dropped a few archers again and a single wizard after it, and the second wizard was doing the same thing. Just kept raising the arms without firing a single shot.
Is this some kind of bug with the wizard? I know mortar had this kind of problem a long time ago and was fixed a long time ago, so now we have this same problem with wizard?

when you dropped the wizard, did it walk?

cause if it didn't, it acquired the 'first troop'

similar to why you drop archers before wizard...

or something like that :v

The target the wizard was going to shoot was killed by your archers. Therefore has to re♥♥♥♥ and aim at another target. This is not a bug.

This has been going on for ages and I don't think this is considered a "bug". Like you said, everytime its current target gets killed before he gets to fire his attack, it would render him useless. It was annoying for quite some time so I had to adjust.

What I did and think that you should do as well is, reduce the number of barbs and/or archers that you throw in to prevent those enemy archers from dying one at a time. You actually don't need that much barchers to wipe then out. Just keep the enemy cc troops close together, drop around 3 barbs as meat shields and quickly drop your wiz behind and...problem solved! When 1 shot isn't enough to wipe them out, add a few more barbs. Try it out!

That is how it works... it is not a bug and yes it sucks when it happens to you.
You probably want to have just a wizard or two as your kill squad and replace your archers with barbs to tank in front.

Actually, yes. There is a bug flying in his face when he tries to fire, and he doesn't fire for fear of hitting friendly troops.

Hahaha can I use that in my sig :p

The wizard towers and mortars used to do that on defense but they fixed it.
