Clan Castle reinforcement troops part 2 (Dark Elixir troops) by Sir Antalot

 

This is the 2nd and last part of the Clan Castle reinforcement troops guide. The first part has covered the regular troops so this part is about the Dark Elixir troops:

Minions

Personally, my favourite troop of them all. Basically a flying archer that throws dark elixir (as if it grows on trees!) at its enemies. These little blue guys take up 2 housing spaces each and cannot take a hit. If you are level 0-30 and you get minions then this is good…if you are level 30+ they really start to lose their appeal. They are great for attacking en mass but as a smaller number as defence they are limited.

 

RATING 5/10

 

Hog Riders

Someone say hog rider? No Barbarians, I would say unless you have a high level Hog donator in your clan. Think of them as faster giants that are able to inflict damage…nothing special…just ok.

 

RATING 5/10

 

Valkyrie

The Valkyrie is a female Barbarian that takes up the space of 8….is she better than 8 Barbarians I am not sure but she does have splash damage. More of a novelty donation, not to be sniffed at but not as good as a wizard donation or even an archer donation in truth.

 

RATING 5/10

 

Witches

These evil witches are a great attacking troop. Use them for defence and you may end up crying like a little witch. There attack power is not great and their defence is not great, but they do summon skeletons and anything that summons skeletons gets a plus mark! She takes up 12 housing spaces which is the same as 3 wizards. Three wizards are undoubtedly better but the witch summons skeletons!

 

RATING 6/10

 

Golem

Golems are slow....real slow, slow enough to be considered decent with the amount of time to lure and time to kill. however as they do such little damage there really is no need to lure them or even try and kill them.

 

RATING 3/10

 

Lava Hound

New troop and relitively untested....yet.
