Wow,I thought yall hurt hogs, now you have destroyed them.

[YoN]

Huh... I guess I must be missing something as I've been hog farming for a few days (and used them in war like normal) and it has been the same. A few skellies don't do much harm to the piggies and most of the time the skellies are drawn out when I get the cc.

Easy.

I'm not talking about farming, or taking down the poor TH9s. Hogs were one of the few armies capable of 2-3 starring a maxxed out TH 10, including walls and royals. Can you do that now? If you can, you are a genius.
A few skellies don't do much harm to hogs? 12 skeletons have 300 dps, more than 3 maxed cannons. Not so negligible damage, even under the heal spell.
And btw been able to draw out skeleton traps along with CC means your opponent didn't place them properly

[Arom]

Don't bash. It's actually true. Eight skeletons do 200dps. That's more than the average queen and they don't have a range. I've seen them eat up level 6 giants in a hurry

Yep skellies always attack the same target and are known for their coordination ...also heals don't work around them......


Wait that's not true.... Its almost as if we can still hog without much of a difference.


On a more serious note only problems skellies will pose is if hogs end up destroying last defenses among some high hp buildings like storages since hogs are particularly bad about targeting units that are attacking them until they clear the buildings around them. Ideally bring them to an are that they can clear out faster or bring in your damage squad in faster. Ultimately it won't matter much as a max heal overwhelms almost any damage except a high Lev queen

Easy.

It's not just the skellies, it's multi infernos...heroes that can't be lured....slower exiting castle troops....giant bombs...and the tendency of hogs to split more often, all of these combined are starting to add up. I still use my hag army and win 99% of the time in m2-m3 but I'm definitely noticing diminishing returns.

[Trux]

Do you even play this game? Hogs and skeletons are the exact same speed......add to that the numerous nerfs over the months and it's clear there is a supercell vendetta against hogs......watch out looners....you're next.

Loonion is nerfed also...because of the skeleton traps set to air,the minions are distracted by skeletons and...yeah

[Gunkar]

you mad you didn't 100% me?

you still went away with a net profit of 330k elixir and 110k gold.... (wich were all that was in my storage)

make me wondering...

AM I THE ONLY ONE AROUND HERE.... OFFERING THE MAX CAP LOOTABLE?

no seriously... I pass 10min nexting finding nothing over 120k gold OR elixir (never both at the same time)

and i'm there trying to save ressources with 3M elix (trying to get 6M for research) and 1M gold (all builder busy)

at that rate, i can't save for new research... I can't stay logged for hours just to wait for troops and raid (I have, like lots of us, work to do and irl things to accomplish) and can only grab like 120k elix and get raided for 350k each times i log off...

and yes, my th is outside... worst than that... people intentionnaly leave my base at 39%...

starting to feel the pain of th9

[AminT]

Hogs work just use them differently.

[willsolvit]

I suppose you should try to spring skelly traps while luring the cc by dropping a few hogs around the base. They should be nowhere near the core and if you have a failed replay to work with you might be able to easily trigger them. But I do agree hogs have been nerfed even harder and my above advice would only work with very certain bases

In answer to your question yes you are now probably in a small minority of players with loot in your storages as since the update where you can spend elixir on walls most players have been dumping both gold and elixir into walls before logging off!

It seems really weird to me that you keep getting hit for 39% without getting a shield with your town hall outside; as my experience and the experience of players in my clan is that if you leave townhall outside most of the time it will get sniped for a cheap shield. One question though is your townhall trapped or in range of defences? If it is and I came across your base or someone in my clan did we would try hard to steal resources and stop at 39%! It might be useful if you can put a screenshot of your base up as this might hold a clue as to why this is happening to you.

Hogs are still one of most powerfull attack strategy. Now you just have to use brains with them. I'm th9 and just did 2 cw attacks to enemy th9s with hogs and both 3 star...

And still upgrading hogs to level 5

Goblins are very powerful also, I can 3 star any TH 4 with them.
