A Great Way to Defend Against Hogs?

[BonbeeTyrael]

Until we see the design(s) and some proof that it in fact works, it remains a valid critique. But of course it has been mentioned enough times.

The th9 design I shared does keep hogs in a small area for a short period of time but should be enough time. This thread wasn't meant to say it would be good but rather to get people to try it and see what happens.

That's what I mean, until we see what happens we can't say definitively if it works or not.

Let me tell you what experience hogs do and why Heroes, cc troops do not make any difference. They usually have 40 hogs, 5-15 barbs and around 5 wiz and/or some archers or minions, 1 Golem in CC, 4 Heals, 1 Rage. They'll use the barbs to lure your heroes and CC. Heroes are easier to lure since they patrol the base. With a CC right in the middle and outside defense that is not covered by CC which some ppl call it "Unlurable". They simply pick a spot and send 2-3 hogs that kill the outside defense and move into the inner defense, as a result, CC troops are lured. Then, they use the remaining barbs to lure your heroes and CC troops to one spot, deploy the CC golem to tank, throw the rage spell and use heroes/wiz/archers to quickly kill all you troops and heroes. With rage spell and Golem tanking, it DOES NOT MATTER if your HEROES are maxed or what kind of CC troops you get. They all get KILLED. You know what happen next? Your base are 3 stars by the happy Mr T.


There are no real solution to this. A good base may save you from 3 stars sometime but a cheap troop (both in cost and training time) shouldn't be so dominate and people do not stand a chance to defend. If you are lucky and laughed about some hog attacks and think they can be easily stopped, make a video and show us the attacker have done the right things (what I mentioned above) and you still pull out a win.


Hogs are OP, much worse than witch in my opinion because of the cheap cost. You don't need to wait till every Hog players to learn how to attack properly to come up the conclusion that Hogs are overpowered. Wake up now!

It doesn't matter what they are,
they won't fly very far.
I want hogs to get off my turf,
Cause these things need a nerf!

Which is exactly the premise of the thread.

This seems to be a high-risk, high reward strategy... If it works it could completely destroy a hogger, but if it fails (if the hogs don't stop for long enough for the balloons to kill them) then you could be in big trouble.

If someone can provide a few more videos of it working, then I will be convinced.

Great innovative thinking, SS!

Are hogs still very good after damage has been slightly reduced from the update? Or am i just wasting my dark elixir trying to get my hogs to max level for th8?

It worked! I'm at masters III and was attacked by 41 lvl 5 hogs. The balloons came out of the cc and with one huge blow took out pretty much the whole army. Only about 5 hogs were left. This could possibly change the type of troops to have in the cc. It's honestly a beautiful sight to see 41 hogs demolished in a matter of seconds. Thanks Jetlife, I'll be requesting these troops from now on.
