A swarm, ranged, or air unit will counter him easily. Low cost and tanky, hits fairly quickly and can dish out a lot of damage. Knight: Haven’t really seen him used much in the current meta, except by trainers.

As for most splash damage ground troops (excluding the valk), placing your troops around him is the best way to deal with him. If there is a tank in front of him, make sure to kill the bomber first if you are countering with ground troops. Can do a lot of damage if behind a tank, but very vulnerable on its own. Great for taking out ground swarms, but cannot target air. Not really worth using spells on.īomber: I see this card a lot more in lower arenas than high level arenas. They can do a lot of damage if left behind a tank, so make sure to take them out before killing the tank. Most troops can take them out with ease if they are alone, which is why they are best used to defend and counter push, or back up a push. Main advantage is that they cannot be arrowed most of the time, assuming you are playing an equal. They can be used to counter pretty much any troop, and do a decent amount of damage. If you play against an arrow bait deck, I recommend just killing the troops with a troop and then building a counter push, and save the arrows for when it is imperative you play them.Īrchers: Slow and squish ranged unit, and pretty cheap in elixir cost. Certain “arrow-bait” decks will try to get you to arrow the princess, minion horde, or goblin barrel, (only one), and then your opponent will place whatever is left since you no longer have arrows. Usually used for defense, but “pre-fired” arrows can be used to gain a last moment win if played well. Most of the time, it can gain the user an easy elixir advantage, as it gains a positive trade over the minion horde, goblin barrel, and skeleton army, which is what most people use it for. Usually 1 shots minions, goblins, spear goblins, skeletons, and the princess, assuming that you are playing an equal. Can be used to wipe out any swarm aside from barbarians.
