Clan Castle Troops Guide

I am sure all of you know that sometimes taking out clan castle troops can be quite a challenge. I have some little known tips that I almost guarantee even most experienced players do not know about or they just forget.When the clan castle is in the middle of the base, sometimes it can be extremely difficult to draw out the clan castle troops. Some of the best ways I have learned to take out clan castle troops involve:

How to draw them out:

• Perform a mini attack. what I mean by this is do not use all your troops at once. This is one of the most common mistakes that I see, people think they can't get the clan castle out and so they throw everything down at once and hope for the best. Instead of this perform a mini attack, attack a loose cannon, or an archer tower, try and attack one that is out of the range of a mortar but will get the clan castle troops out after your mini attack is completed.

• Use hogs, the best thing about hogs is no matter how strong the walls are they can just jump over them. this is often a very effective way to get them out of the clan castle.

• If the clan castle is close to the outside, you are golden, throw some barbarians or archers down close to the clan castle and get everything out. (barbarians are often better at this job because they have more health)

Common Mistakes:

• This is often a players downfall in an attack, if you have to start throwing dragons, your barbarian king, giants, hogs etc. to kill the clan castle troops then most likely your attack is doomed to fail.

• When you place ground troops to take out clan castle troops, make sure that you spread them out. This is the most common mistake made among all players in clash of clans, even experienced players make this mistake. If there are wizards in their clan castle and you place all your wizards or archers in one spot to take them out, their clan castle wizards will one shot kill you and then you are left with killing their clan castle by other means: dragons, giants, etc. and at this point you are doomed to fail.

• I have seen many players draw the clan castle troops out, only to get them to the edge of the defense line and then try and take them out. DO NOT DO THIS. Make sure that you draw the clan castle troops out of the defense line of fire, and then take care of them.

The Most effective clan castle killing techniques I have discovered include:

• draw out the troops and surround with archers.

• draw out the troops throw some barbarians down at them and then place 2 wizards behind, their troops will take out your barbarians but if you place enough barbarians then your couple  of wizards behind will take care of the clan castle troops.

• Draw out the clan castle troops, just get them out of the clan castle. You don't even have to bring them to a corner, just place barbs on either side of the base and get them to run over top of a defense you want to kill via a lightning spell, then use the lightning spells and take out the defense and the clan castle troops at the same time.

• This next technique I learned after about 11 months of playing clash of clans, I don't think many people know about this effective technique. What you do is draw out the clan castle troops and bring them to a corner, (this technique only works with ground clan castle troops like wizards, archers, barbarians, valkyrie, pekkas, etc. but it works best with archers or wizards) make sure that something in their clan castle or a defense can shoot down an air unit near where you have their clan castle troops standing. If possible get all the clan castle troops standing on one tile, (you can use barbarians to do this) place a balloon near them, make sure it is heading in their direction while at the same time towards the closest defense (balloons will always go for the closest defense) their troops will shoot your balloon down and it will crash into them and they will end up killing themselves. This technique takes a while to master, but I believe it is one of the most effective ways to kill weaker ground clan castle troops.
