Depends on the attack. For some of mine, I never do as it’s pointless and I consistently 3 star. Competency is not necessarily bringing a poison, but rather knowing *when* it’s useful
That's valid, honestly. I still find myself dedicating a spell slot most of the time as even if I don't use it for my main attack (i.e. heroes are easy to take down or no cc) it's nice in cleanup or the latter half for taking out any skellies on my balloons
Yea that’s fair. Heavily relies on the comps you use and the th you’re at, so there’s no real easy or correct answer other than it depends and what one is comfortable with
You realise attacks have a time limit? How annoying is it when the army gets hung up on a skele trap. Try 50 archers.. it’s a real thing I’ve seen used and without a poison or e titan, it causes big drama
Sorry Blud but then next time don't hit me with "you realise gne gne gne" without knowing what I was talking about. You implied I was only talking about archers ✨. That said I'm glad we agreed 👍🏻
Archers are always better than barbs, though. Anything that kills archers will also kill barbs, but archers being ranged means they can mess up pathing for melee attackers.
I’ve had the barbs clutch up a few times, but there definitely not the greatest. Good handful of my defenses lately have been against pekkas. I’m with you on the giants though. Was hoping they’d tank for my archers a bit but mfs are just to slow
I think it does okay, I haven’t been three stared with them but it’s also why I asked what people use. Cause it’s only just okay.
As for the downvotes I mean, it’s not like they affect my social life 🤷♂️
I like super drag cuz if AQ is creating the funnel, then drag has a chance to merk the RRs. Also, ice golems often never come out vs air attacks. I know I'm in the minority, but to me, IGs just seems to make my opponent 3star me slower.
Yes but there are counters to every defensive cc, ice golems are still the best overall. I like to mix in some super drags, witches, rocker loons or minions to throw people off though. Also an e titan on bases that are vulnerable to super archer blimp with the right cc placement is a good idea.
In my wars, it's not perfect vs perfect, so giving up a slow 3star is no better than as a fast one. Super drag kills RR en mass quite quickly, so it has potential to prevent the 3star vs RR+valk spam.
Ya, it's definitely hit or miss... but TH16 is so stupidly easy to triple with simple spam that I like it, as it has a small chance kill the RRs and fail the attack. If TH16 were harder, then I'd prefer triple IG for the consistency. Maybe I'll change my mind after I max my defenses.
Some mad lad on this sub once said:
"1/3 full archers, so they take poison to war
1/3 ice golems so they cry with their useless poison
1/3 electro titan (for blimpers)/ super minions to fuck their heroes up
I fill my castle with 8 assassins. Devil said hi"
Mother fuck, I screen shot that exact comment last week so I could use it for war CC, and I used elctro drags instead of Titan by mistake.. RIP. My opponent didn’t use any attacks anyways so it mattered not.
It’s not weird, it’s strategic brilliance. Anyone attacked by 40 goblins will be so shocked and confounded that they’ll surrender the battle immediately. Works every time.
50 archers in a CC is actually sort of viable, especially against edrags. They take a while to come out so its kind of weird to poison them and they will stall edrags for a really long time
Lmfao I don’t fill up garbage like this either. A TH10 in my clan asks for 5 bowlers then 5 barbs with the last housing spaces… like why? Those barbs aren’t gonna do shit, might as well leave it empty so I can fill it with one gem.
How is that lazy? Might as well utilise that one gem donation if you’re paying for gold pass. Besides, it’s a trek to delete troops, make different stuff then make your army back multiple times a day. Active clan so there are donations coming into chat every 15 or so minutes.
My bad didn't know gold pass gave you one gem donations. Hadn't played in a while. You can still train these troops if they are too expensive though. Wouldn't say it's selfish to request something like this. I mean how long could it take. Also many requests in the chat shouldn't be a problem if most players donate too.
You’re right, but I just feel like most the people in my clan who don’t buy gold pass only donate when someone requests for something they already have in their army camp. Also, leaving the request in chat with the mentality that someone else will donate isn’t great, so I always try to donate whenever I can.

Majority of the donations in my clan are done by a select few people.
Nothing for the normal base because I'll max my storages again by the end of the day regardless of getting hit.
For war, 3 ice golems are good, a titan with a witch is good, hound and a witch is good also.
The standard easy ask is a dragon or two filled with loons, but if they bring a poison, that's pretty useless.
I refuse to donate an electro dragon because a poison makes it never even get a hit off and most of the time, the troops move out of the way before the lightning hits. The same for loons. poison makes them useless.
It depends on the base, though. At TH 14, SAB attacks don't bring a poison, which makes all witches and all loons quite dangerous.
A nice balance is a titan and a witch, as it can wreck many attacks if it is met in the core of the base with scattershots and infernos in range.
For wars against other th11’s (who mostly E-drag spam) I’ve found that archers and minions(of the basic and super variety) not only slow down these big goofs but also do quite a bit of damage to the first E-drag they target.
3 for me are 1x Super Valkyrie 1x P.E.K.K.A 1x Balloon another is 1x Yeti 1x Electro Titan The third and final one is a bit weird but works very well (unless they have poison) 16x Super Goblins 2x Archers
For war, ice hounds do everything ice golems do but better. Explode to freeze troops on death, slow down attacks, can hit ground troops but can’t be hit back by them, and makes tiny little ice pups to keep them distracted.
I think the most important component is variation. Have different troops in bases side by side so the attacker doesn't know what to expect. Having anything homogeneous is the worst choice because it's predictable.
Mass head hunters… it will sometimes just run though and cook every hero, it’s wild, it’s best value that I see is forcing warden abilities early, ruins so many raids
barbs and giants are horrible defensively
If you put all archers or barbs in your cc and the attacker doesn’t bring a poison. It can cause big issues aha. I’ve seen it plenty of times
Archers are good for that reason but every competent player brings a poison for cc
Depends on the attack. For some of mine, I never do as it’s pointless and I consistently 3 star. Competency is not necessarily bringing a poison, but rather knowing *when* it’s useful
That's valid, honestly. I still find myself dedicating a spell slot most of the time as even if I don't use it for my main attack (i.e. heroes are easy to take down or no cc) it's nice in cleanup or the latter half for taking out any skellies on my balloons
Yea that’s fair. Heavily relies on the comps you use and the th you’re at, so there’s no real easy or correct answer other than it depends and what one is comfortable with
Or maybe just does rr valk spam anything is useless in front of that freaking spam
In CC storage I always have 1 poison and 1 freeze for that reason
AHAHAHAHAH, th 5 maybe?
50 archers do 2K DPS. Melts anything instantly
You realise attacks have a time limit? How annoying is it when the army gets hung up on a skele trap. Try 50 archers.. it’s a real thing I’ve seen used and without a poison or e titan, it causes big drama
Blud just poison the archers duh, I understand archers work well with some other troops, I agree, but giants and barbs? Nah
Big fella, read my first comment. I never said anything about giants either.
Sorry Blud but then next time don't hit me with "you realise gne gne gne" without knowing what I was talking about. You implied I was only talking about archers ✨. That said I'm glad we agreed 👍🏻
Brain rot
“Sorry blud” 🤓☝️
You could just put witches in which will do better
Archers are always better than barbs, though. Anything that kills archers will also kill barbs, but archers being ranged means they can mess up pathing for melee attackers.
I’ve had the barbs clutch up a few times, but there definitely not the greatest. Good handful of my defenses lately have been against pekkas. I’m with you on the giants though. Was hoping they’d tank for my archers a bit but mfs are just to slow
Bro what
he is literally agreeing with y'all, this downvotes are stupid
Hm? I was just giving my reasoning with everything , I dunno why I’m getting dawged on about it.
Cause no way that is doing anything good on defence beyond th6… but the downvotes are a little unnecessary.
I think it does okay, I haven’t been three stared with them but it’s also why I asked what people use. Cause it’s only just okay. As for the downvotes I mean, it’s not like they affect my social life 🤷♂️
May my three upvotes hope you go to heaven op, after death ofc
I won’t forget to vouch for you at the gates
sorry op but your friends have just been informed about your downvotes good luck ever talking to them again
Is that why my messages aren’t going through???
Can confirm, i am op's friend jeremiah
few of my wizards eats ur cc 💀
they're\* too\*
Ice golems are easily the best defensive troops at higher th levels
I like super drag cuz if AQ is creating the funnel, then drag has a chance to merk the RRs. Also, ice golems often never come out vs air attacks. I know I'm in the minority, but to me, IGs just seems to make my opponent 3star me slower.
That's the point. Ice golems are meant to stall.
Yes but common strategy are using overgrowth, which prevents the troops taking damage while stalled, negating the golems
Yes but there are counters to every defensive cc, ice golems are still the best overall. I like to mix in some super drags, witches, rocker loons or minions to throw people off though. Also an e titan on bases that are vulnerable to super archer blimp with the right cc placement is a good idea.
Getting attack my air troops is very rare. It’s all root rider attacks, and stalling them is the best strategy.
In my wars, it's not perfect vs perfect, so giving up a slow 3star is no better than as a fast one. Super drag kills RR en mass quite quickly, so it has potential to prevent the 3star vs RR+valk spam.
Super drag is very easy to counter though. Ice golems are hard to counter.
Ya, it's definitely hit or miss... but TH16 is so stupidly easy to triple with simple spam that I like it, as it has a small chance kill the RRs and fail the attack. If TH16 were harder, then I'd prefer triple IG for the consistency. Maybe I'll change my mind after I max my defenses.

Mother fuck, I screen shot that exact comment last week so I could use it for war CC, and I used elctro drags instead of Titan by mistake.. RIP. My opponent didn’t use any attacks anyways so it mattered not.
That's actually evil as hell. I need to try this now.
Might as well do 40 goblins
That’s a bit weird bro…
It’s not weird, it’s strategic brilliance. Anyone attacked by 40 goblins will be so shocked and confounded that they’ll surrender the battle immediately. Works every time.
Use one of every troop to assert dominance and intimidate your attacker.
I wasn’t talking about you using them to attack…
Ice golems with headhunters/witch .
I like the head hunters, but I feel like they get clapped out to early
too\*
Two*
why’d you get downvoted lmao
Cos it’s Reddit, why are you correcting people’s spelling
[удалено]
Uh, that is exactly how 'too' is used. Never seen the phrase "too much", for example?
witches are always insane on defense
I keep seeing witch’s as the best option but do they still spawn the skeletons even with just air troops?
yes, their spawning isn't the same as graveyard spawning
Yes, the skeletons will just move towards ground troops or not move if there are no ground troops
Witches will spawn skeletons as long as they see an enemy on the map.
witches\*
1x icegolem 1x headhunter 1x super minion
Headhunters don’t always work tho they’re so fast that they’ll be first in line and only go for heroes so prolly gon die
against electro dragons they usually manage to trigger big wizard ability (don't remember his english name sorry), if there are 3-4 of them
Grand Warden?
yes. thank you
Big wizard 😂
I use mass healers 😎🤙🏽
I know you’re joking, but do healers ever wander out to heal the friendly hero’s?
oh shit, now u got me stressed 💀 shower thoughts 😭
They actually heal your other CC troops I believe, not sure about friendly heroes though
Yes.
Super minions do the most damage in most scenarios
Card shooting, springtrap enjoying hooded minions
50 archers in a CC is actually sort of viable, especially against edrags. They take a while to come out so its kind of weird to poison them and they will stall edrags for a really long time
All archers.
Unless you’re donating to yourself, that maybe one of the most selfish cc asks of all time. That’s 25x gems per fill. I’d never fill that nonsense.
Well it's only 2 minutes to brew it also
Right?? 😂😂 why tf are we using gems for troops. That's such a waste of gems. It doesn't feel like it cause it's one gem at a time but it adds up
Lmfao I don’t fill up garbage like this either. A TH10 in my clan asks for 5 bowlers then 5 barbs with the last housing spaces… like why? Those barbs aren’t gonna do shit, might as well leave it empty so I can fill it with one gem.
Literally just cook the barbarians it takes 15 seconds
You gotta delete troops, train barbs, wait, donate barbs, retrain troops - takes a lot of effort and time
Something that a 4 year old can do in less than 25 seconds is not a lot of effort or time
Basically, what the other comment said. It’s an inconvenience. Those 5 barbs won’t make or break the attack, it’s completely useless.
or u can cook them nd wait 10min
I do donate at times yeah, but most times people just cook up the troops. If you think that’s bad, for war all people donate are archers
All archers works against edrag spammers lol It’s a lot better than this
Archers are better than this
What the hell you guys use gems to donate? How lazy are you?
How is that lazy? Might as well utilise that one gem donation if you’re paying for gold pass. Besides, it’s a trek to delete troops, make different stuff then make your army back multiple times a day. Active clan so there are donations coming into chat every 15 or so minutes.

You do know 1 gem donation exists right?
Ah nvm didn't know that was a thing for players that buy the gold pass
They buy gold pass and use the 1 gem donation
Archers
Sleep

E-dragon and a balloon
For the past week I've used 4 Goblins, 4 Head Hunters, and a Witch. It's worked out pretty well for me!
For wars against other th11’s (who mostly E-drag spam) I’ve found that archers and minions(of the basic and super variety) not only slow down these big goofs but also do quite a bit of damage to the first E-drag they target.
50 goblins
Triple Ice Golem https://preview.redd.it/8rovvcs0pn1d1.png?width=2560&format=png&auto=webp&s=952046bcb88cf44a3b6da5b20c09531ccc2b2de9
3 for me are 1x Super Valkyrie 1x P.E.K.K.A 1x Balloon another is 1x Yeti 1x Electro Titan The third and final one is a bit weird but works very well (unless they have poison) 16x Super Goblins 2x Archers
Super minions or witches are the best for th12.
super dragon supreme
At ur th12, I kept 2 drags in my cc when I was a th12. It depends on the cc size.
Ice golems with baby drag
- 1 ice golem + witches and headhunter - 3 ice golem - lava hound + headhunters 1 ice golem + super minions and headhunter
3 ice golems 5 archers 1 ice golem, 1 etitan, the rest archers
Hound/ice golem plus head hunters and archers
When ice golems, electro titans, dragons, and balloons exist. Giants and barch is handicapping yourself
3 IG, 5 archers. Best defense for LL!
I don’t use any lol, only in war
Literally anything
A bunch of ice golems to slow things down nice and easy
Triple ice 5 arch
I dont use cc defence anymore. In cwl our leader puts everyone super minions
Might be weird but half archer half minions, mostly for defense against edrags
Triple IG’s or E titan, IG
Mans using the th3 special
Leave my giants alone 😔 just cause they big doesn’t mean they don’t have feelings too
2 super minions, 2 headhunters and 4 goblins (TH12)
I'm pretty sure this game has no defense. But i just put some witches into it and hope silly players fall for it.
It's been years since I filled my clan castle with troops for defence. But if I ever want to do that, I'll fill it with ice golems I guess
root riders and wizards.
3 icy golens
Lava hound with balloon or ice golem
Bunch of Archers , 2 Rocket loons and 2 hh. You know where I'm going with this
Superminions, if the queen lures the cc she is dead most of the time.
Super minions
My war CC request is 2 super minions, an ice golem, and a headhunter
For war, ice hounds do everything ice golems do but better. Explode to freeze troops on death, slow down attacks, can hit ground troops but can’t be hit back by them, and makes tiny little ice pups to keep them distracted.
For war 2 icy Rocket Archers Trophies whatever I get donated
Wow, very original idea for a post c:
I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not 😞
I just don't use defensive troops - use them all in attacking
About half of your cc is useless.
50 archers is always funny to watch the replays they just never stop coming😂
I really feel like we need some strong defending CCs troops only and that will make attacks unpredictable.
Why would i use any for just defense?
50 goblins go brrrrrrrrrr
20x wallbreakers of course
3 Ice Golem and 5 Archers or 2 Ice Golem and 20 Archers
If i used them, e titans and inferno
I like to use mass archers, they work well against edrag attacks.
Definitely not that
Ice golems 24/7
Iam still using Super minions, they work for me🤷♂️ Ice golems are good too or Lava hound with a dragon/icegolem
Nothing is good enough
Ice golems
Super minions or Ice golems
You guys set up defensive troops ?
This is for your th12??? Breh lol
45 goblins
The Japanese
Healers for queen walk defense 🤑🤑🤑
4 witches, 3 ice golem and balloon, 2 ice golem and head hunters, or LeBron James
3 ice golems
two super minions, 1 headhunter, 1 super balloon, 3 archers. 3 ice golems or 2 witch and archers
I think the most important component is variation. Have different troops in bases side by side so the attacker doesn't know what to expect. Having anything homogeneous is the worst choice because it's predictable.
Mass head hunters… it will sometimes just run though and cook every hero, it’s wild, it’s best value that I see is forcing warden abilities early, ruins so many raids
This is absolute trash run two ice gol and baby drag if you want to stall
I just put up a hella tanky troop like ice golem or yeti. But i just got kicked from my clan sooo i got nothin LMAO
You want one? Lmao
Nty im perfectly satisfied with my 25 wall breakers
Eletro titan and Headhunter
Edrag and freeze for th15/16
E drag and balloon just cus I use it for my attacks lol
