Best and Worst troops in the clan castle?

[mxa]

Wizards have:

• Splash damage
• More DPS than an archer(Level 5 archer has 20, level 5 wiz has 170)
• Range
• More health than an archer(Level 5 archer has 40, level 5 wiz has 156), can often survive lightning

If you still think archers are better, please tell me why.

i wanted to choose wizards, archers, and dragons just because they can all serve up some good damage while shooting at both ground and air troops. dragons and wizards do excellent splash damage and survive for a decent amount of time while archers work well in a pack. the only cons to archers or wizards is that they could be wiped out with one or two lightning spells. the cons for a dragon is that he is just one troop and although he is very durable, an army of 200 or more could easily take him down with the proper strategy. my pick was the dragon.

when compared like that, of course wizards are more powerful, but you forget about housing space. in a clan castle level 3 you could put in 5 wizards or 20 archers. you can do the math and combine the archers statistics compared to the wizard. in a team of 4, archers have just 4 more hitpoints than one wizard but theyre certainly not more powerful in DPS. so statistic wise, wizards beat archers, but on the battlefield the outcomes may vary. just remember that wizards take more time to hit a target and usually end up air humping rather than firing. a team of 20 archers could easily make quick decisions and strike consecutively while a team of 5 wizards may lack the speed and time to attack effectively. im not saying archers are better, only that the results between the 2 classes may vary and that i like both classes just the same.

Worst troop is the wallbreaker.

Wizards all the way

Wizards are the best but healers can get frustrating as heck if you're attacking against one

Dragons are also good but they take up too much space to really be effective

5 wizards may be a little slow to attack, but when they do, the dps they do is incredible. Also, keep in mind that a group of 20 archers will die to splash very quickly, but a group of 5 wizards would survive much longer.

Our clan is discussing this same thing. We also had champion lvl kourt27 in our discussion. For high level gameplay, accounting for witch attacks, we have decided the best cc defensive troops are a witch / wizard / archer combo. All archers are getting stomped by witch attacks, dragons are sometimes great and sometimes useless against skeletons, all archers simply aren't powerful enough. Defensive cc witches may not be enough to defeat a strong army, but the skeletons slow down attackers long enough to let defensive buildings do their jobs. Our two cents, hope it helps.
