are skeletons killing your hogs.

Just the queen messing up hogs raids for me. Skeletons barely do a scratch

Heals don't last forever, and skel traps outdamage them anyway. An extra 225 dps against helpless hogs is nothing to scoff at.

The odds of all the skels targetting the same exact hog is very small.

The Problem is that you cant heal your hogs all the time especially in the clean up Phase in the end where 10 Skeletons smash your remaining hogs. I dont think that Skeleton traps have killed hogs. It is simply the sum of all update changes. First it was the giant bombs. Even if the hogs do not meat double bombs, you have to use 4 heal spells only to heal up a Group of hogs that have hit the bomb. You have to use 5 more hogs to succeed. Then was the hero Change with the queen now staying at the Center, sniping all the hogs away (not funny for lvl10+ because this is stronger than any heal spell so you need another 5 more hogs). Then there was the Skeleton trap which also kills about 3 hogs.
I can remember where 24 hogs lvl3 could 3 star a mid th9 base. Now you can be happy if you 3 star a high th8 base with lvl4 hogs.

I have not seen many successful hog attacks any more at th9. Hogs seem to be a strategy for th8s and low th9s now until they learn how to use gowi. All our old hog users that have become semi inactive and stayed at th9 now have real Problems with them even those that are very good.
Players adapt to update changes very slowly so you still see many anti hog bases that you can easily smash with GoWi. Also since the last update many bases have a weak spot to attack if 4 army camps are used to protect one side. This now 2 shots for the wizards.

the skeletons do make a difference on hog raids. 3 traps with 4 units each makes an impact. they do make a difference i dont care what anyone says

Skeleton traps definitely hurt hog raids. I am from a clan in which hogs were our go to war army for most of our th9 guys. We struggled in wars immediately after those traps were introduced and most of our guys moved away from hogs. 3* raids were turning into 1*s and 2*s. They don't affect every attack but when the traps are set off early in the raid it is trouble. The hog force just slowly dwindles away.
