Takeaways

• 📌 Clan castle troops vary by town hall level, and their effectiveness depends on the placement of the clan castle within the base.
• 🛡️ There are two main types of clan castle combinations: tank-style (like Lava Hound or Golem) for distraction and soft or damage-style for dealing high damage with lower health troops.
• 🚫 Non-lurable clan castles are more effective because they can't be triggered easily by enemy troops, making them harder to neutralize.
• ⚔️ For Town Halls 2-4, a Valkyrie combined with archers (and sometimes a wizard) is recommended due to its splash damage capability.
• 💥 Town Hall 5 benefits from a combination of goblins, archers, and barbarians, slowing the attacker down by making them deal with different speeds of troops.
• 🐉 Town Hall 7 introduces dragons as an effective option due to their tanky nature, while baby dragons and archers are better for lurable clan castles.
• 🎯 Town Hall 9 offers more troop variety, with the Lava Hound being a strong defensive choice to occupy enemy Archer Queens and other troops.
• 🤖 Higher town hall levels (TH9-14) see the Lava Hound and Balloon combination being effective against Queen charges and Pekka smash attacks.
• 💫 Town Hall 12 and 13 introduce Super Minions and Rocket Balloons, with combinations involving Headhunters and Archers to deal damage or distract enemy troops.
• 🔮 Throughout all town hall levels, it’s important to mix up your clan castle troops regularly to prevent predictability, keeping opponents guessing and adapting their attacks.

Q & A

What are the two main types of Clan Castle troop combinations?

The two main types are 'tank style CC' and 'damage style CC'. Tank style CC includes troops like Lava Hounds or Golems, whose role is to distract the enemy while defenses do the damage. Damage style CC consists of lower hitpoint troops that deal high damage but are more vulnerable.

Why is the position of the Clan Castle important in deciding which troop combination to use?

The position of the Clan Castle matters because if it's in a non-lurable area (hard to activate), tank troops are more effective as they can delay the enemy while defenses attack. If the Clan Castle is lurable (easy to activate), damage troops are better because they deal more immediate damage, preventing easy takedowns.

What is the recommended Clan Castle troop combination for Town Hall levels 2, 3, and 4?

For Town Hall levels 2, 3, and 4, a combination of a Valkyrie and two Archers is recommended. At Town Hall 4, you can add a Wizard for more splash damage.

How do you counter opponents using lightning spells to take down your Clan Castle troops?

You can mix the speeds of your Clan Castle troops so they arrive in battle at different times, making it harder for the opponent to use a single lightning spell effectively.

What are the best Clan Castle troops for Town Hall 7?

For Town Hall 7, the best option is usually a Dragon, which serves as a tank style troop. Alternatively, you can use a Valkyrie and Witch combination to make it harder for attackers to clear out your base.

Why is it recommended to have a non-lurable Clan Castle starting at Town Hall 7?

At Town Hall 7, having a non-lurable Clan Castle is more powerful because it forces the opponent to deal with the defenses around the Clan Castle while being unable to lure and defeat the troops easily.

What is a common defense strategy against Queen Charge attacks at Town Hall 9?

A Lava Hound in the Clan Castle can distract the Archer Queen during a Queen Charge, preventing her from dealing damage to key defenses. Alternatively, using a P.E.K.K.A and Balloon combo can force the opponent to use additional spells to survive.

What is the best Clan Castle combination for defending against mass Hog Rider or Dragon attacks at Town Hall 8?

A Witch, Valkyrie, Wizard, and Archer combination works well against mass Hog Riders or Dragons because the Valkyrie targets ground troops while the Wizard and Witch focus on air units.

How does the Lava Hound and Balloon combination work as a defense at higher Town Hall levels?

The Lava Hound distracts the Archer Queen during ground-based attacks, while the Balloon can deal splash damage. This combination is especially effective against Queen Charge and Pekka Smash attacks at Town Hall 10 and above.

Why is it important to vary your Clan Castle troops between wars?

Varying your Clan Castle troops prevents your opponents from predicting and planning their attacks effectively. By keeping the troop combinations different, you force the attacker to adjust their strategy on the fly, increasing the chances of successful defense.
