A Great Way to Defend Against Hogs?

[BonbeeTyrael]

And if the attack is other than hogs?

Well this thread is about hogs.

Ok, so we are back where I started. Balloons can't catch them in many cases.

If you go a bit earlier in the thread, certain bases can funnel hogs to a place where the balloons would catch them. The design would have to reflect the cc troops.


To be clear this thread isn't saying "This will work"...it's asking "Could this possibly work?"...given the right design and circumstances "Would 2 balloons and 5 wizards be a good defense given the proper design?"

Which is exactly why you also carry 5 wizards or a dragon as per the usual defensive CC.

Correct me if i am wrong, a single balloon can kill ONE hog, not group of hogs. you need few balllons to have enough splash damage to kill a group of hogs.

Even you are right, it doesnt matter when cc troops are lured and killed first. Zack was right you have to be lucky that balloons and hogs meet in the battle field or they will never catch them.

you are talking about cc troops against hogs and then designed a base that unlurable except loons and hogs? was that a joke?😂

That amounts to noob baiting, which works way more often than it should sadly. Anyone who checks the CC won't even flinch.

Balloons deal splash damage. It kills all hogs.

And by that "unlurable" I mean that you have to commit a serious amount of troops to lure my cc unless you can bypass my walls(jump or air) with something that targets defenses.

Thanks for posting this. I have seen this work a few time and also seen this fail. I think it all depends on your village layout. But any help on def. agains hogs is always welcome!

Your defense could be efficient, against hogs or others... "Could this possibly work?" not for reasons explains on this thread and others...

What he means (and I implied earlier) is that if you can lure the CC with a couple hogs, how exactly does that amount to a good hog defense?

You can never prepare for everything but given a few dozen hours designing the perfect village(given the proper high level defenses and such to make luring a royal pain) I believe it's possible that supplementing a 5 level 6 wizard CC with 2 Level 6 bloons could work in your favor more than 50% of the time.

You can lure any CC with a couple of hogs so at that point as long as it can't be lightning'd what does it matter? You could have moldy potatoes in there.

You have a greater chance using 25 barbs or archers, with a single balloon. Barbs would be better as they walk slower, so the attacker would need to waste more time to lure them out. The single balloon would be there for the minuscule chance the two do meet and the balloon has enough time to throw a bomb. 4 balloons and 5 minions would be lured out too easily, once everything is out of your castle, your chances of winning drop. Most wins are because the attacker lures outs 20+ troops thinking that that is all of them, they drop hogs and the final few come out and keep attacking the hogs.
