Ever have trouble dealing with clan castle troops in war? In this thread, I will tell you how to deal with some of the most popular war clan castle troops in the most efficient way.
Dragons:
Troops needed: 3 barbs, 3 wizards, and 3-5 archers.
How to deploy troops:
- Lure out the clan castle troops to a corner of the base.
- Once lured to the corner and dragon is killing the archer, drop the 3 wizards behind the archer.
- Once the archer dies, drop a barbarian to distract the dragon as the wizards shoot at it.
- Repeat step 3 until the dragon is dead.
Valkyries:
Troops needed: Minions/Dragon
How to deploy troops (this one is very simple):
- Lure out clan castle troops to a corner of the base.
- Destroy all clan castle troops with whatever you prefer (I prefer using barbarians and archers to kill other clan castle troops).
- Once all troops but the Valkyries are dead, drop either minions or dragons to destroy them (if you want to save army space, try not to use more than 9 minions, but if you are saving dark elixir, try to use dragons. You can also use your own Valkyries if you have them, but the opponents can easily be higher level or make you waste your clan castle).
Lava Hounds:
Troops needed: 2 archers and a healer.
How to deploy troops:
- Lure out lava hound to a corner.
- Make sure that if the opposing clan castle is level 6 or 7 that you destroy all troops but the lava hound.
- Once the lava hound is lured out, immediately drop both archers and the healer, making the lava hound distracted for the rest of the raid.
Wizards:
Troops needed: Barbarians and archers (sorry, I don't yet have a fixed amount XP).
How to deploy troops:
- (Again) Lure clan castle troops to corner of the base.
- Once the wizards are lured, drop archers around them in a circle (try not to clump them together), and occasionally drop barbarians on the wizards, 2-3 barbarians at a time.
Baby Dragons:
Troops needed: For th9s: Use a queen walk and some poison spells/For th8s and below: A tanking troop (high level), 2 wizards, and if possible, a poison.
How to deploy troops:
For th9s: Use a simple queen walk and while executing the queen walk, you can not only take out the baby dragons, but the other clan castle troops as well.
For th8s and below: Deploy a tanking troop to tank for the baby dragon's fireballs, and while it is attacking the tank, drop 2 wizards along with that tank and a poison if possible (Usually, there will be a max baby dragon in the clan castle, so try not to use low level giants as your tanks).
Archers:
Troops needed: Poison spell and some barbarians.
How to deploy troops:
- Lure out ALL of the archers.
- Once archers are lured, drop a poison spell.
- Immediately after/right before poison spell is dropped, drop a barbarian to keep all, and if not, most of the archers inside of it (you can also use a lightning spell but I imagine you wouldn't want to).
Witches:
Troops needed: Valkyrie/Lightning.
How to deploy troops: For Valkyries-Lure out the witch, and once it is lured, drop a Valkyrie and it will easily destroy the witch. For lightning-Lure out the witch, and once it is lured, drop a lightning spell to destroy it.
