My thought is simple & it's the exact same when getting witches from CC onto the field...use barbs as meat shields. This is especially powerful if the barbs have to run to a target (i.e. like you pulled the drag into a corner and the barbs run under/by the dragon to a target behind him). The dragon will often spin around to blast the barbs and the wizards feast.

I'd prepare to use, say 3-6 barbs and you should be fine

In JTJ's (my) never ending quest to have succint naming for attacks we coin 'terms' to define phases of attacks. You can see all of them here:

If you have a Drag in CC you toggle deployment (use Gol Instead of Witches for Distract in TDCK). Still drag the dragon to edge of map. Then drop golem and wizards once drag locks to gol. Hold CC21 till drag down then drop it and K and process from there (hogging off flanks of KH1).

Hope it helps.

The witch cc does fine vs dragons too. Bring a few more wiz to kill it faster and a few less hogs if you aren't confident.

This is true -- can work. However, you are not using what you have in mix in ideal deployment in that scenario. CC Witch relies on overwhelm of numbers to give time to wiz to take out enemy CC. Drag mitigates that as it could wipe the whole skeleton wave and then move to witches. Safer to drop Gol at edge (after bringing drag there) and following with wizards.

This is absolutely true. I've done it myself... :mad: Witches can easily fail against a dragon, especially since their DPS (by themselves) is rather woeful. The true value of a witch, and her high DPS, comes from her skellies, which can't attack a dragon.

What Wryhorn is saying is 100% accurate. If a dragon comes out of the CC, I'll just drop the golem, as a dragon DPS isn't going to torch a golem the way, say, 5 wizards will. Once the dragon locks onto the golem, the wizards make quick work of him.

I would never, ever just drop a witch in front of a CC dragon and call it a day. If you believe this works, prove it, for I can't see how that works in the slightest. At best, you can hope the dragon turns and follows the skellies, then you drop a some wiz or something, but that's a huge risk...

Might as well use barbs, followed by wizards in that situation

what if cc has dragon??

oh i see thx @lunaticfringe
