Want troops to come back?

Good point...

The reason for not getting troops back is so that people don't go around with all drags or all pekkas or something like that with troops that don't die easily killing whoever they want to at minimal cost. In a nut shell, it would ruin the balance of the game.

Some of my troops survived the battle. Where did they go?
Once you've deployed troops, there's no turning back for them. This was put in place to make you think carefully about the tactical aspect of the game: what is the minimum amount of troops that I can use for the best possible outcome? As long you don't deploy your troops, they will return to your camps after the battle.

Try practicing your attack strategies in the single player campaign. This way, you can see how different troop load-outs work for you without losing troops unnecessarily! Experiment with different techniques and troop combinations. Each unit has its own unique strengths and weaknesses.

You might want to even check the game itself for your answers.

Im Pretty sure this has been requested about 1 Million times but...
Supercell can you PLEASE give us some troops back if we get 3 Stars on an Attack (not including clan wars)
I think around 1/4 of our troops should be given back. I really don't care if you agree or disagree we need this to happen. ALSO higher tier troops should have a least % chance of coming back because of just spamming dragons and pekkas and getting 5 or 6 of them back

If you want to spam dragons then go for it, but it SHOULD cost you to do it!

It's actually not ruled out. From the top ideas section of the sticky:


Troop Related:
* When heroes get defeated, they drop packages of Dark Elixir similar to tombstone process
* Hero gear: collect/equip boots/gloves/armor/helm/belt/weapon(s) items like many other games
* Ability to select order CC troops deploy (Slide/rearrange icons in CC info screen for sequence?)
* New troop that targets support buildings (non defenses or resource buildings)
- - - - - - - - - -
* Way to toggle hero guard/sleep while they're injured (button disappears) to set action after healed
* Keep troops that survive a battle

I agree with the OP in many respects. Especially now that town hall lots are scaled based on the levels. So here's what happens. The 10 mass maxed dragons then spend all of 20 minutes wiping lower levels for say... 100k sum of resources meanwhile their trophies go through the roof, their opponents are robbed of between 5-10k a player and get shields to protect them from their real threats which are town halls their own level that can't max dragons...

i would still till limit any troop return to survivors at 100% though. Also the barracks queues would need to be on hold for the battle duration, otherwise there could be overflow issues. This topic needs more discussion.

I'm pretty sure it's ruled out i have seen admin comment on this subject before

It's not ruled out, it's just a really common idea that Supercell doesn
want to be asked over and over again.

When we make a troop we invest two things- time and elixir. Hence, it seems too much to ask for the entire troop to come back especially where high tiered troops are concerned. I personally feel that a fraction of the elixir cost for the surviving troops should be returned. That seems reasonable. They could even make it so that you have to 3 star a base and have surviving troops for this to work, if you press surrender and had surviving troops this wouldn't work.
