How to Use Giants Effectively in Clash of Clans

In my opinion, Giants are currently the best troops in Clash of Clans for many reasons. One reason is because Giants can fill the tank role better than Barbarians because they have a lot more health and thus they are less vulnerable to splash

attack from Mortars and Wizard Towers. They are also effective on the map because they prioritize targeting a

defensive building which means by using Giants you can focus on neutralizing the enemy's defensive power as fast as possible. Moreover, Giants are also well-known for their

excellent uses to distract and soak up hits for their comrades.

One effective raiding strategy can be utilized using a combination of few Giants and lots of Archers. First, deploy

Giants to distract all the defensive buildings attack focus and then quickly drop Archers near the attacking tower to

destroy them. This strategy, when used correctly, can easily wipe out an entire base and ended up rewarding you with a

3-star victory.

Giants had been proven to be very useful when combined with Wall breakers and Goblins. This strategy works great when

used on a heavily fortified base with lots of resources available. First, just like the previous tactic, deploy Giants to

distract all the defensive buildings and then drop the Wall breakers right near the column of walls you want to breach. You just need to make sure that any defensive towers in the vicinity had their focus on the Giants because Wall breakers are so fragile. Once the walls have been breached, quickly release all the offensive units like Barbarians or Archers to

destroy the defensive towers and Goblins to steal the resources.

There is also another famous raiding strategy using a combination of lots of Giants and 2 healers. This strategy will work in almost all types of bases. Basically, you just

need to spam all the Giants you have on the map, preferably close to each other, and then when the Giants start to get focus fired by the adjacent defensive building, you deploy

the 2 healers about 5 tiles behind the group of Giants. This strategy works because most of the time the 2 healers, will

heal back all the damage that has been done to the group of Giants in front of them. Given enough time, those Giants could wipe out a well-fortified enemy base with only few

casualties. However, you have to be careful when employing this strategy because an Air Defense can 2-

shotted your healer unit from afar and also be wary of the spring traps that could kill your Giants in an instant.
