This is a very good point that I hadn't thought about. Although I am maxing dragons I face almost exclusively ground attacks. Agree that ground might be the way to really push up trophies once maxed.Originally Posted by Wrothgar
Regenning health again and is awesome, but if you use all baby drags he can die faster than he can regen - he's the only ground unit. It's a much higher impact with a ground army.
Decided which army you want to use and go that route imo
I got my lab to 5 overnight and now need to start saving up for the expensive baby drag level 9 and 10 upgrades. Once those are done I'll focus my BM up to 5.
Currently I am able to allow my BM to distract archer towers on one side of the base while my baby drags get to it and take it out. Sure the BM doesn't live forever when using all baby drags but if used wisely he does enough to help you get high % 2 stars on most bases. I imagine he will be extra tanky at lvl 5 with the ability so I'm not worried about my decision to max baby drags 1st.
As far as ground attacks - yes, they are strong if done right. It's almost the only way I've had my base tripled since coming to BH5 (except the one time where he had lvl 5 BM and max baby drags). That said, I have completely neglected my ground defenses as my cannons are still level 2 and my crusher is lvl 1. Maybe I'll start focusing on some of those since my base design seems to hold up well vs baby drags right now.
Agreed. I've had similar experience with ground attacks. At high levels on each troop they do great but that is because my base is mainly against bdrags. My BM is doing really great clearing outside buildings while also tanking for my bdrags. With more HP + HP regeneration it will be even stronger!

Had a bad run in my battles today which saw me drop to 2723 trophies. At one point after starting my loot raids with 4 losses I was close to dropping below 2600. 3 out of 4 wins after that helped me recover a little.
Got 2nd AT started to level 4 and my elixir storage now holds 1,250,000. Made enough to start BDs to lvl 9 and got my second double cannon to lvl 3. Air defences are still pretty low but still only facing ground attacks.
Need to get a new base design as at this trophy range I get 2 starred too easy which puts pressure on my own attacks.
So are baby drags only useful once they're maxed and you get that 3rd BD / camp? Seems like a long road to victory. I rushed to BH5 and BM but now not sure what troops to really up. I saw powerbang's video that definitely made BDs sound best, but if it's only L10 that are any good, that'll be a fairly long grind while my opponents wreck me with L8 barch. My troop levels are L6 barch, L2 minion, L5 BD, L4 giants, L1 bomber. I've only had success with ground raids so far; gotten a lot of three stars, esp vs this one really common design up here around 2500 cups with crusher on bottom, surrounded by wall, then all defenses in a small walled core, then all econ buildings on the outside, in the shape of a diamond. Love seeing that design.
I dropped to 2.6K from 2.7 today but it was normal for now. Now working my bdrags till mix then moving to BM. As long as I can hold my trophies & push a little with each upgrade I'm fine. With level 8 bdrags I expect to get at least 200 extra trophies from what I have with level 6
At level which I have I'm getting high % on new BH5s like me or 3 starring mid/max BH4s. So basically they are useful at lower levels but as you go up those lower level will have diminishing relative output & need for higher levels will arise. For me each level for bdrags got me 100 - 200 extra trophies(it isn't pure bdrags but that was main reason due to higher % you get with each level)

I'm speaking of 3k or so trophy range. Trying to help give the warning sign.
Yes, winning is frankly very easy with bm sub 3k. But that won't always be the case.
You are free to do what you want, but you will pay for this later if you're pushing. Those max canons, sunken archer towers, multi mortar, double canons - all shred max bm in seconds. You will be lucky to get 2 abilities off if he's your only ground unless you clear a lot of the ground with drags first - and depending on the base design that's easier said than done.
You can imagine, but I speak from experience.

Just wait Saleh. I feel bad for you guys - he dies really fast with no ground support unless you are very tactical with your attack.
This is why I'm staying ground. I just grabbed an 87% with my BM and Lv8 giarch while he grabbed 49% no star with Lv7 BDs on my base.

What we do with the BM(I do & others in this thread said they do as well) is drop it away from any defense but an archer tower or both. This will take out about 50% of air damage to bdrags in that area. Spread other bdrags to gain max ability effect & get those ATs & firecrackers. The designs will change I agree but you will always find a good job for such a tank & later we might as well switch to ground I still do mixed attacks with archers & BDs but it really depends on the base
