Question on defending against golems....

[xShadowLordx]

Well well golems are basically a pain in the butt especially with rage, 4500hp for level 1, I have a lot of my defense targeting them but it takes for ever and when they die they split and keep going, which also gives the other troops time to destroy everything else.

So I want to know if there is a good way to defend against them since they are a huge sponge.
also I'm hoping that supercell would come up with a defense that are goo against the golems like how teslas do x2 on Pekkas anyways, comment, hope to get some insight from other people and see someways that may be strong against golems. Thx!

Point them in the direction of my base, ill sort em out

The tip against these damage soaker is Single Target DPS.

Are your tesla max out ?
Are your cannon/archers max out ?
If you have xbow, are they max out ?

And for CC reinforcement troops wise, dragons/wiz won't do much help.

And try to predict their pathing and put higher level walls there.

I'd be surprised if you're getting hit with them farming at 1400-1600 as your sig suggests. All you can do is pack a full CC and upgrade your walls and weapons. I haven't seen any yet...

I went back to 2400, forgot to update my sig

Xbow, cannons, archers are all maxed, trying to max teslas right now. Usually got archers and barbs in my cc.

Any good base designs that work well against them?

[wes1014]

I couldn't find any vids on successful defends against a golem army. The are a number of golem attack vids which employed very little strategy, yet in every cased, the base was ravaged and the golems survived.

Only thing that seemed to slow them down is the walls. Traps (I don't think spring traps work on them, but correct me if Im wrong) and bombs are useless, towers are not doing much either. CC is the only thing that could potentially hurt them, but can be easily countered by an archer queen or a lightning potion.

Anyone has a success story please do tell. Even though it is unlikely for anyone to raid with golems every single time, it is still very discouraging to know that no matter how well you have designed ur base, you cant win against golems.

I don't think it is a deal breaker yet, but there will be more and more higher level players with large reserves of dark elixir, we will see more and more of these unstoppable raids. That can't be a good thing.

Losing to a stacked army will always happen. However, if you're low enough in trophies it will only be perhaps 1 out of 10-15 attacks? My theory is always that if someone is willing to spend the time on money to create multiple tier 3 troops and spells they probably deserve to win. As for higher trophy counts it has always been attacking to win trophies. Most bases even maxed out might lose 1 star.

Very little stops my golem based attack (with a few giants and wbs in with one maxed golem, 3 rage, 1 lightning for cc).

But then, there's not much you can do against an all dragon (+3 lightning to take out nearest AD) attack, either.

Until Supercell does something to truly boost defense, it seems there's no stopping the right attack. Your only hope is to avoid a 3 star defeat.
