OFFENSIVE STRATEGIES
The Balrog is a really powerful and tanky troop.His power is like one of a PEKKA,and his tankiness is better than a lava hound.However,its cost is big and is really a problem that a full barlock raid would cost over a barb king unlock.Also,they might be tanky and really powerful,but they will not target defenses,so they will fail easily.It is suggested to have 3 Golems,2 Barlocks(170 HS so far),fill with wizards and bowlers and WBs.For spells,it is suggested to have 2 Joy(Half a Jump Spell),2 Dizzy(Half a Confuse Spell),1 Freeze,1 Killer,1 Rage and 1 Poison.In the CC,ask for healers and 1 Medical Spell.
