‘Clash of Clans’: Top Tips & Cheats for Dark Elixir Troops (Minion, Valkyrie, Golem and More)

4. The Witch

• Witches summon skeletal warriors to aid them on the field. Once they hit their max level of 2, they get even more skeletons to summon in their wake. Their look stays the same at all times. Witches are better served as support troops, so spawn them alongside the types of troops that can soak up a lot of damage. Spawn some Witches next to Golems or Giants, we say. The Witches skeleton troops can easily overwhelm Defensive Buildings, so you’ll be able to take them out quicker with buildings that deal out splash damage.

5. The Lava Hound

• Lava Hounds focus on destroying one thing and one thing only – Air Defenses! They can soak up a ton of damage, so they’re simply one of the best flying troops to employ. Once they destroy all Air Defenses, they’ll turn their attention to taking down Defensive Buildings. They hit their max level at levels 1 & 2 (they hit their max level and change forms at level 3). Lava Hounds are very weak against Inferno Towers, so remember that when you spawn them and when you wanna figure out a way to kill ’em quicker. Seeking Air Mines and Air Bombs also do some significant damage against these Lava Hounds.

6. The Hog Rider

• WE PITY THE FOOL! These Hog Riders totally look like Mr. T-lookalikes, right? Anyway, these troop types hit their max level at level 5 (their look stays the same at level 1 & 2 and levels 3 & 4). These unit types have the special ability to hop over Walls, so produce a two or three of them and try to keep them alive with your Healing Spell. They can dish out some high damage once they start tearing into enemy troops. Hog Riders and Giants make a good troop combination. Taking them apart means you’ll need to build up some Inferno Towers and throw some Giant Bombs their way.
