Hog Rider is A ♥♥♥♥♥♥

so many suggested solutions, I believe this falls into the category of "Nothing wrong with the game, only the user"

How about you are dumb enough to make your stupid statement first? It's the video. Shut up

This is false. Defensive targeting troops do not gain "assist" code once the defenses are dead. If the AQ targets a bunch of valks, dragons, etc, they all peel off their targets and go to the AQ. If the AQ targets a bunch of hogs (after defenses are down), the hogs ignore the AQ and keep going to nearest building or troop. They're effective against a late BK because he's in their midst. But versus an AQ? not at all. Balloons do the same thing.

I once had skeletons chasing hogs while they are so busy hitting nondefense buildings

As a excellent war attacked, you should eliminate the queen in the first place, not to leave it to the end. Seems that you got to that situation just by luck.

If you can manage more than 10 hogs left when finish the last defense, you can attack any possible way you want as long as you 3 * that base. Plus the base I had was really a well spread one. I might not have the best attack, but I 3* that base.

I don't think the hog rider pathing takes into account the AQ position on the map. I think it only looks at her Altar. So if the other buildings are closer than her alter is, they will hit the buildings first.

If they went through AQ, then it means AQ was closer than other buildings

[v1j2j3]

Why are you hogging a base without killing the Queen first?

Because I managed to 3* that base. I had more than 10 hogs under a heal spell at the time the last defense were down, so they can finish AQ without any problems.

Hogs are like giants and golems in category. They attack only defensive buildings first and have no assist feature. That's why a trail of skeletons will follow them for the whole raid or war attack sometimes until they cross with a troop that does assist. Archers, valkary, wizards, etc. Do they need an assist feature? Not likely. Most hoggers take the queen out at the beginning of an attack. Good attack still as the #4 taking out their #1.

Stop pretending you are "smart." I can attack whatever I want as long as it's a easy 3 * attack. Your strategy is so typical from the textbook. Boring and never think outside the box. It's a wide spread base, so I left more than 10 hogs under a healing spell when the last defense went down. The queen was left alone at the corner, so I can use my kill squad trigger double giant bombs kill king and CC troops. If you have never seen the base and no enough experience with hogs, keep your mouth shut.

Wow, give someone a compliment and then get trashed by them.

My assumption in that statement is that after their chosen target is destroyed, the AQ is now the closest target.

lol, you didn't even read his post I think. He accurately explained to you how hogs work he did not give any strategies. In your video the hogs worked the way they always do, that is why it is usually best to kill the AQ first.
