Which troops to use with Hogs in War.

[KyleKoenig]

I have 220 Capacity. I am unsure what to use along side of 35 hogs.

I have 35 troop capacity left over.

I have level 5 archers and level 5 Wizards and level 1 minions.

Just looking for insight

Thanks

I use wiz to follow my BK as tank. But I use more wiz as I only use 28 hogs.

I used 20 lvl 2 Hog Riders with 3 Healing spells. Had no problems in clan wars clearing bases with them. Usually about 6 Giants to distract defenses and trigger any traps. Then use wizards and archers with Barb King for clean up. Maybe a dragon in clan castle sometimes. I only have 200 troop slots currently. I have gone as high as 24 Hog Riders.

Most people I see use about 25 Hog Riders. They probably have 220 troops slots. Just make sure you take care of clan castle troops first. Lol. You could always drop Hog Riders from your troop slots and use your clan castle slots for 5 extra hog riders. Your 25 + 5 cc = 30 Total. Then you have some extra slots for stuff.

If your not using during clan wars but for farming then it might be a different setup. Too expensive for me to run them for farming.

I just finished a clan attack. 35 level 3 hogs, 5 level 1 minions, 5 level 5 archers, 1 level 5 giant, BK and AQ. And 5 level Wizards.

Cleared CC easily, but Bark King squatted in middle and then picked off my hogs. I 3 starred him, but with 3 hogs, 3 archers, 2 wizards, and AQ left on the field with 10 seconds to spare.

I have level 3 hogs. I would use less, but with morphed Hero, Im afraid that if I don't clear the defenses, I will be left with a 75% 1 star. I usually place my Queen and wizards directly behind my hogs to protect them. I also use 4 level 4 healing spells.
