Learning Giant/Healer

I'm a TH8 with 200 space and am working on getting better at the Giant/Healer raid. So what's your makeup for this? I'm going with:

28 Giants
2 Healers
6 WB
4 Wizards
4 Archers

My strategy is to unload the Giants at the air defense first. About 10 at each. Once they arrive at the wall, I sent in two wall breakers. When the air defense falls, then the healer support comes in. When the giants clear out a bunch of defenses and leave the collectors and storages behind, I spray around the wizards and archers.

Thoughts?

You need more wiz for sure.

I haven't done a giant/healer raid in forever, but if I did it would be something like:

-20 giants
-12 archers
-12 wiz
-6 wallbreakers
-2 healers

Thanks. Another thought (because this attack can be so slow) would be to add Goblins?

You can, sure, that's personal preference. You just need to make sure to have a decent combo of meatshields (giants) and dps (arch/wiz)

what level are your units?

Whoa too many giants and not enough killers.. when I used giant healer I would go 12 giants 2 healers 8 wb 8 wizards rest archers.

Ok, thanks. I'll lower the number of Giants. One thing that I've run into the last couple times is the stupid spring traps. And I don't know that they're ones I can avoid, they are one level deep, behind some defenses. So dropped about 10 giants on an archer tower, with the air defense behind it. Next thing I knew, six Giants were flying through the air. (must have been two spring traps). I'm guessing there's not much I can do about that, eh? But it sure slows your attack down in a hurry!

Try launching your giants a little staggered, or launch 1/2 first. Outter layer springs are easier than inner, obviously :(

too many giants brotha, try 16-22 giants, 2 healers 4 wallbreakers and the rest wizards with archers

You always want to make the most you can on each raid, so if you can reduce the cost of your army, fewer giants, and make cheaper troops, archers, barbarians or goblins, to replace them, you will make more per raid, and you may find you can raid more often.

Umm, you're describing a BARCH for some reason, not explaining the Giant/Healer attack, as others have.

Good old healer giant :) Miss those simple days!

I agree with this make up.

My make up would be:

Around 12 giants 2 healers 20 goblins, 6 wb and the rest arrchers I never really used wizards since theyre so expensive.

back at th7 when I did giant healer I would use

1 rax giants
1 rax healers
2 rax archers
I always had 6 wbs just incase
