How to counter DGB when level of HOGS is LOW?

Hello, ma be this thread is not useful for most of the players out there but sill I want to ask everyone

"How to counter DGB when level of HOGS is LOW?"

This may be the problem being faced by all new TH8 players, you use Hogs but they are beaten by DOUBLE GIANT BOMBS.
So, I need to know how to cope up with that, well they are detectable and can be figured out but saving hogs is one the of big tasks.

I'm also a new TH8, please don't think this way that I'm going to use them to rush over strong player. I just want to know it, what's the real strategy. Please don't take it in the wrong sense. This is going to be very helpful to all either in present or in future.

Thank you

If u can predict the location of a dgb on a base, u can use a mini gowipe or gowi or golem to blow it up and then hog the base so that the second dgb dont get ur hogs. If u dont have golems then get them asap. Till then use dragloon
Edit: dgb can kill lvl5 hogs

Forget double giant bombs, if your hogs are only lvl 1 or 2, I believe just one giant bomb will kill them. I always tell newer th8's that hogs aren't useful until they hit at least lvl 3.

FYI, a single GB can kill hogs if the GB's level is higher than that of the Hog (ex. 1 level2 GB can kill level1 hog).

Because of this, it is best to start doing Hog based attacks once your Hog Riders reach level3(level 4 for best survivability) and you should also have decently leveled your heal spell.

It is best to attack bases that have already been attack so that you have an idea the of the CC troop composition of the enemy and GB/DGB locations.

Do your best to activate the DGB with a mini attack (GoWi/GoWiWi). Begin the hog raid once you are sure that the Golem squad will reach the DGB spot before your hogs do so that the Wizards/Witches will not die and help you clean up incase your hogs won't be enough.

BUT DGBs are not your only problem. Well placed spring traps, centralized King, and skeleton traps can ruin a hog raid.

This strategy is a good one. Yes I have golem, and thanks again for a very new thing.

I do agree with you, one giant bomb and Lvl2 hogs are just wiped out. I'm about to have Lvl3 hogs soon.

I'll keep it remembered. I have a Lvl4 heal so yes, of course it will work. Obviously springs matter a lot, and King, it will chase hogs all over the base.

Good luck then, but remember it take a lot of skill and practice to pull off a hogo** . If u mess up slightly on golem pathing, u can fail miserably with 1 or no star...
