X-bows - long range and high HP (tank)
Infernos - burn!!! High HP (tank)

I've honestly never found xbows to be a threat... ever. I suppose it is because I never barch or BAM and that is really all they are effective against. 2 raids ago I just nailed my 5000th xbow on my main. Even my TH8 mini never really cares about xbows, giants and other high HP troops plow right over them.

IT... different story and a complete game changer. You'll understand when you get them.

Multitarget inferno towers are, in my opinion even OP, because maxed ones can kill maxed barch insanely easily- it can kill like 5 barbs/archers every second. A cannon can kill only ONE barb in like 2-3 seconds, making it like 10 times less effective than an inferno tower, statistically speaking (ish).

I think the OP is trolling. But for me, x-bow is another defense that can make my base stronger. I don't know if I like it, I just need it.

Inferno tower has no delay in its firing rate.
xbow has very little delay
archer tower and cannon has some delay

this makes big difference

I felt the same way when I was TH8...

X-Bows fire Uber Fast, and are good against Barbs, Arch and Wiz.
Inferno in Single can kill Golems, Pekkas, and Heroes quickly.
Inferno in Multi can help against troops that swarm your base like Witches.

Xbows are very long range that's their main advantage.If set on air they make attacks from the air very difficult.aside from that they are just like 2 (if you're a th9)new archers towers with a longer range.If you're a rushed th xbows alone won't save you even from lower ths.
Infernos however are game changers and very hard if not impossible to deal with without a freezing spell.As a th7 i could deal with xbows if the rest of the defenses were garbage however as a th8 i'm unable to do anything against infernoes even if the defender's th is rushed.

To find out how important/unimportant they are, don't build either of your x-bow once you get to TH9, and don't build either of your inferno towers or third x-bow when you get to TH10.

Then let us know how well your base holds up against other players at your TH level.

I'm gonna go ahead and assume that you have never attacked a base with an xbow or an inferno tower. Please try attacking a base that has these and maybe you will understand
