    What troops become obselete at TH9 and 10?

    Just a random curiousity. It doesn't seem that Giants are used in TH10 by anybody. Is that the case? But it looks as though barbarians and archers stay relevant? Do hogs become irrelevant around 9 or 10? I'm speaking in terms of both raiding and clan warring. How about minions?

    Every unit stays relevant. Except for maybe healers, but they have their uses.

    Well and then there are Valks...

    Good question.

    Minions yes. They're still pretty popular. Who doesn't love a minion or 50?

    I can't tell you the last time I used healers or was attacked with them.

    I haven't been hogged as much since the update...

    Golems are better at drawing continuous fire from X-Bows which is why you don't see Giants as much later into TH10.

    Barch and BAM is still popular for farming.

    I still regularly 3* in Clan Wars with Hogs with some adjustments. I use Witches to distract Heroes whilst Hogs get to work, hitting bases where Giant Bomb placements are obvious; placing Heal over path of Hogs towards Giant Bombs so they are at survivable health prior to triggering the Bombs.

    I can't remember the last time I used Healers though. I think Healers need a buff such as slowly self healing over time. At present they are unusable TH9 onwards unless you have making some sort of niche build such as mass Hogs and Healers.

    Giants are still used for farming though. But you are right, golems pretty much replace giants if you want to go to war for example.

    Max giants still work and as a TH 10 if you are trying to save dark and farming in mid leagues, level 6 giants are fine.

    As a general rule of thumb, any troop that was useful before TH10 is still useful as TH10, so no pure obsolescence. The troops that lose focus are:

    1. Healers (though I never felt was core anyway)
    2. Giants as golems are better
    3. Goblins (which I never used anyway)
    4. Dragons (again, mass dragons hasn't been a good attack method for a while. Dragons lose relevance from TH8 and up)

    My TH10 still sees pretty much every troop that exists in C1 to M2, attacking me and/or my clanmates. I hardly ever see a Healer being used, especially usefully, but that's about it - even goblins get used by some TH10 (I used them myself, when farming with hogs, before the last update). A group of 24 Giants even 3-starred a fellow TH10 recently, and b-arch got 50% on my near-maxed TH10 recently, so yeah, everything can still be used even at the highest level.
