They didn't die, where did they go!? 😐

After 3:30 , they decay off like radioactive substances. In the army camps , they are near the flames , so can sustain themselves. Just joking .

Seriously , it would be too OP incase of Dragons and Golems. Annoying it is , but it's ruled out. Maybe a refund of maybe 20% surviving troops ?

The brave troops that survives deserve their R&R. Barbarians and archers go back to their families, wizards back to their towers, witches back to their covens, dragons back to their caves, PEKKAs needed time to stretch their legs outside of the stuffy armor, golems back to their craigs etc... Even imaginary creatures made purely by pixels need their time off!

When they had enough rest, they will return to duty if you pay them enough...

Srsly tho, the basic mechanism of CoC cant allow the return of surviving troops for the sake of balance.

If its possible, then people will surely bully raid lower THs with high hp high survivability troops. A TH10 can drop to silver leagues and continuously pummel th8s with an army of golems and pekkas non stop. to hell with loot penalty if each raid costs you nothing!

The TH 10s are already hiding in low leagues. Why do you think clouding is so bad in high leagues? A TH 10 shouldn't be able to attack a TH 8 anyway.
