I honestly, honestly don't know why people are complaining about the Hounds' damage. I joined CoC when Golems (the widely-agreed Hounds' ground counterpart) were already implemented into the game. Did people complain about their damage though? Golems produce only 2 Golemites while Hounds produce 8-12 Pups. How are they weak? Aren't they supposed to be this weak? They're tanks for heaven's sake
See Galadon's videos on how he nearly 3 starred(98%) a base using lava hounds. It's just another new troop - people will learn to use them effectively after some trial and error.
They are a joke. Anyone who thinks otherwise saw the 8600 gem maxed version get lucky. They get chewed up by all surrounding air capable defenses. For the space you are better off with more Loons or Drags and the right associated spells.
We just watched an enemy in a War use one, it was lvl 1 and it was dead in about 5 seconds from basic stuff - Wiz towers, a level 1 x-bow, the AD it was over top off, archer tower...
They clearly need some kind of major buff, likely to the offspring.
Don't judge me.
I have no right to judge the Lava Hound given that I am a TH8. But under the view that the Lava Hound needs a buff, buffing the offspring isn't the answer. Compare the Barbarian King in the July update - the general population flat out IGNORED the buff they gave to the barbarian summoning.Originally Posted by kaibosh
Don't even bother reading anything this idiot has to say.
I'm not sure why I haven't been banned yet on account of my stupidity.
I posted the same thread yesterday and got like 1 reply
Well my own lava hounds wont be here until my dark barrack finishes in like 5 days. But what I have seen in their gameplay on youtube is that they will change loonion for the better since they distract, balloons destroy and minions clean up. They are definitely not OP. They are just a flying golem and so will b used like a golem except in the air.

I get that they're supposed to be tanky and all, but they have seriously low DPS.
I dont have them yet, but have had couple of attacks on my base with 1-3 hounds at M1+
My impression overall so far is
- They are NOT game changing troop that will make GoWi__ feel bad
- The DPS is pathetic, (10 DPS, for lvl 1) is laughable.
- They could be a very good asset for TH9 for air attacks, carry hound in cc and then Kabooom....
- For the stats, the space and cost don;t give enough justification
Overall so far, i am not dying to get my hands to it. Will get it anyway, no rush.
It will be a candy eye for few weeks, and then only used occasionally.
BUT, Before giving a verdict i would like to experiment myself with it first before jumping into conclusons

Infernos give them no problem. It's the air defenses that tear them up. Think about it. Golems are tanks and soak up all kinds of damage. But they don't have air defenses shooting at them. And air defenses do massive damage compared to other defenses.
Simply increasing their health would make them a much better troop.
Health? How about DPS, 10 is pathetic.
