Clash-of-clans – Protecting cc troops from poison spell

clash-of-clans

It almost seems pointless to have clan castle troops if a single poison spell can take them all out. Is there anyway to protect against this? I noticed pekka's take 2 poison spells but this still isn't good as the spells are so small it's easy to have 2.

Come to think of it, is this the same as having the lightening spells destroy the cc troops? That's what everyone used to do but I don't recall it working as effectively.

If relevant I'm at TH 8.

Troops in your clan castle still serve a valuable purpose, even if they can be killed with a poison spell.

  1. It makes the attacker spend at least one spell slot on poison.
  2. It makes the attacker spend valuable time drawing and poisoning your CC troops.

There are a few things you can do to make poison less effective.

  1. Put your clan castle in the center of your base so it's harder for the enemy to draw your troops out.
  2. Don't put your skeleton traps near your clan castle. You don't want all of your defensive troops to die from poison (or from attacking troops) in one big group. Spread them out as much as you can.
  3. Know which clan castle troops can survive a poison spell. The longer it takes the poison to take effect the better. I like a dragon in my CC, but they're expensive so I usually only ask for one during a clan war. PEKKA are good too, but they're also expensive. High-level giants and valkyrie are good because they last a long time against poison (or attacking troops) and they don't cost as much as other high-HP troops.
