and no, he only needed 1 more hit on the TH to kill it and score the 2nd star when AQ started targeting skellies

So did the skellies kill her, or did other defenses? it sounds like either way she was low on health..

Lol, and I've had a hog attack succeed once when there was about two seconds left when they started hitting the last building with the BK engaged.. They proceeded to ignore the BK and kill the last building for the third star. Any other troop would have timed out.

But the hog AI is different, when they start hitting a target they finish it

an xbow killed her. she was low on health but would have easily destroyed the TH within the 3-4 seconds she spent shooting at skellies.

Personally, I find that when attacking a base with cc troops, my troops will leave from what seems like 8 tiles away to go after the defending cc troops. They will stop attacking whatever building (even defensive buildings) to attack a wall a pesky wizard is behind.

Point is, I seem to have the opposite problem.

I guess that is my point. she is under fire from other turrets too; if she took 3-4 seconds to kill the skellies, I just think they would (combined with the x-bow fire) have taken her out anyhow.. just short on getting the TH. unless she is L40 she just cant tank damage..

I did not see the replay, but have had similar situation cost me a TH-Star as well; and is where I am deducing my conclusions..

Thank you for taking the time to clarify this for me.:thumbsup:

Maybe master luring? Or just Attack dead bases and fear storage raids because of cc troops.

Well I have a major complaint with the way attacking troops engage, or rather re-freaking-fuse to engage, defending cc troops. I've had many raids now where the defending cc troops have just totally decimated my attacking army because my troops dance all around the outside and won't attack the max loons or max wizards or whatever that are spamming the hell out of them. I've seen attack after attack after attack where I'll have a group of troops within just a few tiles of the defending cc troops but they will continue to pip away at a collector or building or whatever until the defending cc troops wipe them out. This is getting ridiculous. As a GiBarch'er, it's almost made it impossible to farm anymore. A group of max wizards or max loons will wipe out a group of giants within seconds of engagement then my barchers and heros will totally ignore what is going on until they march over there and wipe them out too. Hell, even defending giants have become a pain in the ♥♥♥ because my barch will sit back trying to clean up all the outlying buildings while my giants are in the core trying to take down defenses being relentlessly mauled by the defending giants. Once the defending cc troops engage and start doing damage to the attackers I feel that should become first priority of the attacking troops is to get rid of the defending troops. Am I the only one that finds this incredibly annoying? And yes I usually do try to check for cc troops and I always take multiple poison spells with me. But sometimes when farming since you can't scout where the cc ring comes out to it's hard to get the pull and like I said, max loons or wizards(or even giants) will kill a cluster of 15-20 attacking giants before the poison spell kills them.

Okay so well by what you are saying, I understand that you are having the problem of your tanking troops getting mauled by defence troops.
It can be possible, just possible that you aren't able to lure properly and as you said, you find it tough to estimate the clan castle radius. Well, I, personally am not having such a kind of problem. I think you need to focus on learning how to estimate the cc radius.

But if your giants go inside the base, while other troops are outside, well that is the point where you go wrong. That should not happen unless you have checked for defending cc troops and are pretty sure your giants won't die(heal spells, rage spells etc...). For me, whenever I attack, first, I clear the outer structures to create the funnel, then drop my giants, and immediately after dropping all those giants, I drop in all the rest of my troops. This way, even if defending troops come out, your troops will have to chance to kill them fast.

But yeah, defending troops being given lower priority by attacking troops was introduced a couple of updates back I think.
