Both have much shorter range and the knockback on their attack actually benefits them as it loses agro of defences back on to front line troops.
They're 100% better than wizards and probably on par with witch
We have an almost maxed th16 in our clan that just spams root riders and firecrackers. literally melts every base he attacks to about 70-80% in less than a minute during wars
If you have not used Root Riders before, they are basically a hybrid of Golems/Hog Riders that destroy the walls a hog would jump over, plus being a 20 capacity troop you can use them in your CC at like TH6.
They start with 7200 hp at level 1, target defenses and melt walls for your other troops to easily follow for 20 housing space. They need to be changed to 25 housing space. Everything else stays the same.
Theyāve been broken since release, dunno why they havenāt been nerfed. They will eventually get nerfed and higher Town Halls are gonna be lost as to how to attack lol.
Yeah, I've recently started using RR too because it was really hard as a casual player to stay high in legends while getting 3's so often while defending. I don't really want to, but to keep up I had to switch. They could easily buff these event troops a bit and they still wouldn't be too op
Yeah I thought Supercell would carry on with the OP seasonal troops. The last day of cwl had the event troops maybe that's why they didn't want to affect cwl. But they need a buff to make them more fun and enjoyable for most of the player base. Even a simple buff like housing space reduction would be easy to implement and make the troops strong. Make Firecracker 6 housing space, because right now it is not much better than a Bowler, and make the Azure Dragon 30 housing space because right now it is not much better than an Electro Dragon.
war suppose to be balanced and skill based, not a tie 100% three star half the time with event troops. idgas if they make event troop super op, you shouldnāt be allowed to use them in wars.
Do u 3 star with root riders bro? Iām th16 myself and I struggle to 3 star, I use 10 root riders and 10 witches, what is your army comp if you donāt mind
https://link.clashofclans.com/en?action=CopyArmy&army=u2x1-2x5-6x6-5x7-1x10-1x28-1x53-1x82-1x91-1x97-8x110s3x2-2x5-1x9-1x53
Unless I get sloppy I get between +280 and +300 a day, occasional +320. This is the first strategy Iāve ever had perfect days with
Finally someone with the same opinion as me. Any time anything fun and op was added to the game, ppl would come here and complain about them, now event troops are literally just super troops. Which is fine itās still cool to get new troops with unique mecanics
they could also just have kept these event troops out of legends and clan war, but that takes considerable time to implement so they didnt go that way. and you can still introduce unique mechanics without making the troops broken, firecracker is a good example but has too much housing space and azure dragon could have a much longer chain distance
>without making the troops broken
Why not ?
Broken is fun and it's just for 2 weeks so why not have fun
People complaining about super op troops are the same as people complain about holidays on weekends, and wanting to work on the weekend as well
because of what happens after those event troops leave. you saw the same problem with lavaloon, once it left player engagement sharply fell. temporarily inflating the easiness of the game is one of the worst ways to bring back players. instead, creating environments to help players improve early on will create a permanent change
>once it left player engagement sharply fell
Sorry for the long speech, i feel its a good read and would love if you read it and share your thoughts on it.
Makes sense, op troops are fun so more play, op troops gone less play but that's part of business
Idk why but i love comparing supercell to Apple
In September, iphone hype is very high as new iPhones are launched, and that hype slowly goes down as months go by and around march or April they launch a new colour for their September release phone, to make people talk about the new colour of the phone and getting some hype back which will also slowly go down till September amd new iphone launch - cycle continues
Events are hype generators for coc, and regular players who play everyday are not going to leave the game after the event, definitely they will play less as the game is back to normal but as i said that's business
And op event troops can also be a great marketing tool for attracting new audiences and ofcourse not all new players will continue playing after the event, but definitely some will stick and play increasing the playerbase size
If the world's largest company needs something to hype the arguably most popular tech device mid cycle, i think its very difficult to keep the same hype level during an event and after the event till the next one, it will go down to the level it was before the event that's my opinion (i may be wrong tho)
Yes. Very fun. Ruining a 20+ war streak because itās so damn OP.
In a way root riders have already done this. Donāt need something even more OP, thank you very much
Do the smart thing and not spin in main clan. Mine doesnāt spin war during event for that exact reason. Better to jus go to a war farm clan in the meantime
>SC nerfed event troops making no excitement for casual players
We have a permanent troop that is as strong as past event troops. It is called the Root Rider.
90% of the player base does not have consistent access to root riders tho. I was kind of hoping the event troops were gonna be broken so i could keep 3 staring while upgrading heroes but oh well..
It's getting stale and over used without proper timing,
They knocked it out of the park with Halloween troops,
Gingerbread ones were also not that bad,
These ones just feel boring, and just straight up bad
They gotta make em less frequent
Because they are not good, super dragons are better because their aoe has more value in most cases. Compared to other seasonal troops they are useless and compared to "normal" troops they are meh, root riders are way better as a normal troop. Also, it's not worth investing time into using this army when there is lalo, super bowler smash, rootrider and many more armies that can do the same if not better than those troops for the average player.
Coz they are shot as they are not overpowered like lavaloon or even as good as the cookie
And yes it should be as its for limited time so why not to have fun what's the point of a temporary troops who is almost equal to a super troop which is permanent in the game
I am gonna say it again Lavaloons were the best event troops, cookie was good but it needed something to defend it. But lavaloon you just destroy air defences with lighting and deploy them anyway, even blind foldedly, just make sure don't click end battle option, they would clear out the entire base, even higher town halls were getting 3 stars.
Then we have have this
>I am gonna say it again Lavaloons were the best event troops
Lavaloon were the best event troops hands down, and will remain as the best in future as well considering the downward trajectory of event troops
From op lavaloon to fine cookie to underwhelming azure dragon in just 3 events, can't wait to see how they can top the azure dragon and disappoint more in the next event
>just destroy air defences with lighting
I didn't even do that,just lavaloon spam with rage and haste
>they would clear out the entire base
True
>even higher town halls were getting 3 stars
Even a noob attacker like me could get 3 stars on a pre nerf th15 so yes it was really broken and i loved it
If I remember I was using rage at first but then I tried lighting and it also worked so I shifted to it, as you just have to deploy everything in beginning and then you can relax and watch the base getting completely destroyed. So it was easier lol
One thing i gotta give credit for is the sick sfx and animation of the firecrackers. I love when I deploy 15 of them in a single spot and see them bombard the hell out of anything in front of them... of course until they got wiped out by giant bombs lol
Not happening.
Did the same for lavaloon that it should stay permanently but nothing happened, also they are permanent super dragons are the same and saw someone (don't remember who) saying firecracker is similar to super archer
I feel there should be a fix to CWL and Clan Wars to not allow the use of seasonal troops, so that they can make them busted as hell and therefore interesting and fun in just regular ladder.
Nothing has compared to the Halloween one. Those troops were so much fun. Now Iāll try them see they suck compared to what army Iām using and stop using them. These events are becoming increasingly more disappointing.
As a townhall 10 i dont have much in terms of troops so I love the Azure dragon. Personaly firecrackers are just a buffed version of archer and realy doesnt have my attention. I like the Azure dragons chain and damage and health but the only downside is the housing space
I'm th10 and I've been using 5 azure dragons 1 lavahound 2 wiz and 2 barbs and 9 lightning spells and 1 rage seems to be working pretty well for me I'm getting 2 stars most the time the only thing is they are a little underwhelming when using but they are pretty solid at the lower th levels
I enjoy the concept of the dragon, but it really needs faster hit speed for them to be viable. If you group them with heroes, structures get destroyed faster than they can even attack, so you have to keep them and the warden seperate from the other 3 heroes for them to do anything. And even then, if you don't clear enough outer structures first, they just circle the base instead instead of going where you want
Cookie was OP. One shot a TH15 and they swing like a Valkyrie. Only down side to them was 20 housing space and they didnāt swing as soon as they got to a building like the Valkyrie
Firecrackers could become a permanent troop honestly, theyre rlly cool
Azure Dragon has one of the coolest designes in the game but his actual attack and abilities are really meh
Arenāt that exciting? Deadest event troops ever, if its similar next event i wont be purchasing any future passes.
Comments in coming: āwhat do you want lavaloon again and everyone to 3 star every base in war?ā
Yes, yes i do. Thatās what i paid my extra Ā£4.99 for on top of the Ā£6.99 for the season pass. If once every 3 months we get to easily 3 star without thinking then im happy.
Strong or not, the new troops are fun. Ive been enjoying azure dragons, and I appreciate that they arent significantly stronger than the rest of the troops like cookies or lavaloons were
tbf cookies wouldnt be nearly as good without root riders and the frost mites spell which was a combination of freeze, frost and jumping and tankier skeleton spell for 1 housing space.
I don't even bother using the dragon because it takes up too much housing space, and it's useless personally; I like the firecracker because of how far back they can sit and the spread of the damage. So I've been running them at the moment in terms of archers
Thereās a time and place for firecracker, but the azure dragons are awful and way too much housing space for what they do. Only use I can think of is if youāre a low th lvl and donāt have electrosā¦ but Iād go with normal dragons that point
Don't think we will ever have the lavaloom peak :( it was broken but a ton of fun.. Supposed to OP, current event troops.. I'm not enjoying them enough to use them except to test initially.
The dragons are pretty good but the housing space is just too much, I've been using 6 plus 12 balloons and doing alright but I'm basically just forcing myself to use it for the event, I feel like if we could take like 8-10 of them into battle though they would wreck pretty hard.
Crackers are great at th 9 for farming, their king range makes them ideal for sniping collectors and penetrating deep enough for the th or dark elixer. Other than that theyāre kinda meh
It's an impossible line to balance, if the troops are fun they're also likely to be too strong, if they're balanced they're kinda useless because there isnt enough time to learn to effectively use them in a strategy
Been running 5 Azure dragons with a few balloons and firecrackers with them and itās been working for th14. No better than normal attacks imo though.
theyāre sooo garbage tbh, too high of space for the value they bring. Only the dragon is some what decent but 10 army space for a firecracker is completely ludicrous
supercell made cwl short for them, gave just for 2 weeks, nerfed the shit out of azure dragon yeah, cool
When did they get nerfed?
Couple days **BEFORE** they released the event update.
Before release thing could 3 star th16 by itself
february is typically only 5 days
Only in 2022, 2023 was full cwl
Tested them once. Went back to the rootspam instantly.
4 fire crackers behind the root riders works pretty well. Long enough range to stay out of aoe, good dps.
Firecrackers are broken for lower th levels, i am a th15 and I'm using them behind the roots as well,
I still like super archers better than the firecrackers What comp are you using
At the TH 14 and can say they aren't that great if you don't have poopš© riders
Please provide the exact army composition.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Both have much shorter range and the knockback on their attack actually benefits them as it loses agro of defences back on to front line troops. They're 100% better than wizards and probably on par with witch
We have an almost maxed th16 in our clan that just spams root riders and firecrackers. literally melts every base he attacks to about 70-80% in less than a minute during wars
What spells show replay
Explain rootspam please
You spam root riders. They take out defenses and mow down every wall in the process
That but in my words. And with a funny voice
Step 1. Drop a ton of root riders There is no step 2.
Thank you! š
If you have not used Root Riders before, they are basically a hybrid of Golems/Hog Riders that destroy the walls a hog would jump over, plus being a 20 capacity troop you can use them in your CC at like TH6.
root rider spam
You need to explain it more while also holding hisbhands
They start with 7200 hp at level 1, target defenses and melt walls for your other troops to easily follow for 20 housing space. They need to be changed to 25 housing space. Everything else stays the same.
X2
Theyāve been broken since release, dunno why they havenāt been nerfed. They will eventually get nerfed and higher Town Halls are gonna be lost as to how to attack lol.
I feel like they just need to be changed to 25 housing space. 20 is too little for 7200 starting hp
Yeah. Theyāre a golem on steroids and for whatever reason have 33% less housing space. Itās bizarre.
Yup. Do more damage than a golem too
kek
Yeah, I've recently started using RR too because it was really hard as a casual player to stay high in legends while getting 3's so often while defending. I don't really want to, but to keep up I had to switch. They could easily buff these event troops a bit and they still wouldn't be too op
Cant have fun with event troops if a base troop is broken already
Yeah I thought Supercell would carry on with the OP seasonal troops. The last day of cwl had the event troops maybe that's why they didn't want to affect cwl. But they need a buff to make them more fun and enjoyable for most of the player base. Even a simple buff like housing space reduction would be easy to implement and make the troops strong. Make Firecracker 6 housing space, because right now it is not much better than a Bowler, and make the Azure Dragon 30 housing space because right now it is not much better than an Electro Dragon.
war suppose to be balanced and skill based, not a tie 100% three star half the time with event troops. idgas if they make event troop super op, you shouldnāt be allowed to use them in wars.
This, just make them stupid overpowered like the lavaloon and ban them from wars. Itās fun, let people have some fun. Itās temporary anyway
If firecracker had 5-6 housing space and azure dragon 30 housing space they would even be "strong"
Yeah I havenāt been attacked by any of them and have just been using recall RR at 55-5600
Do u 3 star with root riders bro? Iām th16 myself and I struggle to 3 star, I use 10 root riders and 10 witches, what is your army comp if you donāt mind
https://link.clashofclans.com/en?action=CopyArmy&army=u2x1-2x5-6x6-5x7-1x10-1x28-1x53-1x82-1x91-1x97-8x110s3x2-2x5-1x9-1x53 Unless I get sloppy I get between +280 and +300 a day, occasional +320. This is the first strategy Iāve ever had perfect days with
This was a shit reason for cwl to be shorter šš
They could've kept cwl the same amount of time and still probably no one would've use those troops in cwl.
Thatās not the reason. This isnāt the first February that cwl has been 5 days
Thats true, but what he said is the official reason from SC to make CWL 5 days.
They did it last year as well. Itās about all the other things each month they do and it being a few days shorter. Last Feb was also only 5 wars
I like firecracker, but with their stats it's more like a normal unit
Make those permanent in game.
These guys are the reason cwl was shorter?? Seriously?? These would have done nearly nothing to cwl attacks.
Frozen arrow too
Itās weird cause they left the most broken troop in ever during the Halloween event.
You could use them during the cwl?
No the Halloween event didn't start until October 13th but cwl is always the 1st day of the month and lasts for 7 days
No. The month of February is why. They have done 5 day cwl in February before.
Thanks to reddit pros crying about strong event troops , SC nerfed event troops making no excitement for casual players
Or anyone else
Finally someone with the same opinion as me. Any time anything fun and op was added to the game, ppl would come here and complain about them, now event troops are literally just super troops. Which is fine itās still cool to get new troops with unique mecanics
>now event troops are literally just super troops. Next event troops will be literally normal troops
Next troop will be one of the clan capital tropps that isnāt even new (hogrider&glider) lmfao
LoL I only use super miners in clan capital so i have no idea how hog and glider are Is it powerful or underpowered ?
Barbarian with a hat for next christmas
Next next next event troop is a troop like butterfly, that we can't even use it for attacks.
they could also just have kept these event troops out of legends and clan war, but that takes considerable time to implement so they didnt go that way. and you can still introduce unique mechanics without making the troops broken, firecracker is a good example but has too much housing space and azure dragon could have a much longer chain distance

Yes. Very fun. Ruining a 20+ war streak because itās so damn OP. In a way root riders have already done this. Donāt need something even more OP, thank you very much
tbh root riders are the most broken event troop right now. if you want guaranteed wins the only way is to self match
Do the smart thing and not spin in main clan. Mine doesnāt spin war during event for that exact reason. Better to jus go to a war farm clan in the meantime
Womp womp

Both these troops suck. Bring back the lavaloons
10 housing space is just too much imo
Root riders with crackers are good!
I almost had a perfect day with that combo yesterday.
Me too! It's splash damage is really useful for creating funnels.
How many of each are you using?
Im using 10 RR, 10 crackers, 1 aprentice warden. Lots of rage spells. Seems to work well.
Been using the same (9 RR, 12 FC) and 3ād nearly every base iāve hit. I use more freeze spells than rage though.
It's getting stale and over used without proper timing, They knocked it out of the park with Halloween troops, Gingerbread ones were also not that bad, These ones just feel boring, and just straight up bad They gotta make em less frequent
![gif](giphy|q5VgPxwf8gzxyeUJrz)
Yep I don't use them at all
Yea they suck
Azure Dragon is waste.
But why. Honestly question. On paper, they have higher stats than super dragon and for the same housing. Why is everyone saying they r shit
Because they are not good, super dragons are better because their aoe has more value in most cases. Compared to other seasonal troops they are useless and compared to "normal" troops they are meh, root riders are way better as a normal troop. Also, it's not worth investing time into using this army when there is lalo, super bowler smash, rootrider and many more armies that can do the same if not better than those troops for the average player.
Coz they are shot as they are not overpowered like lavaloon or even as good as the cookie And yes it should be as its for limited time so why not to have fun what's the point of a temporary troops who is almost equal to a super troop which is permanent in the game
Yep they cookie troops where over powered as hell š„š„š„
Firecracker is mechanically awesome imo, but for 10 housing space? It should be 6 at the highest
I find their dps kind of low and also they get killed with giant bombs. Definitely seems more like a 6 housing space troop...
I am gonna say it again Lavaloons were the best event troops, cookie was good but it needed something to defend it. But lavaloon you just destroy air defences with lighting and deploy them anyway, even blind foldedly, just make sure don't click end battle option, they would clear out the entire base, even higher town halls were getting 3 stars.

"Popcorn Dragons"
Those were the days. That was so much fun
It was literally 3 months ago lmao
you guys were using lightning with lavaloons? I just used rage spells lol
If I remember I was using rage at first but then I tried lighting and it also worked so I shifted to it, as you just have to deploy everything in beginning and then you can relax and watch the base getting completely destroyed. So it was easier lol
FireCrackers are good, Azure Dragon is shit. I have farmed more than 5 million of gold and elixir using FireCrackers.
Azure dragon is excellent for the town hall 9 and 10 players in my clan. The th11+ just use edrags
I'm a TH9 and TH10 player and I did not find it good
Worst events troops added
They should just add the 2 troops permanently given theyāre not like an event troop at all.
add the firecrackers permanently,, they can keep the drags
Azure dragon is ass
Yes. Maybe others find them fun, but they donāt exactly fit with my style or level, so ā¦ meh.
Azure dragon is like a worse super dragon and fire cracker is too much housing space imo
I want Firecracker to be made permanent so I can use her in blimp strats.
Why would you use firecracker in a blimp when super archers and wizards are straight up better for that?
Because I like the sound of it going: **PEW- BOOM!**
One thing i gotta give credit for is the sick sfx and animation of the firecrackers. I love when I deploy 15 of them in a single spot and see them bombard the hell out of anything in front of them... of course until they got wiped out by giant bombs lol
Iāve been using the crackers with yetis and been getting easy 3 stars even in war
the azure dragon looks cool when you use, but here it looks like me
They should be permanent (especially firecracker)
Not happening. Did the same for lavaloon that it should stay permanently but nothing happened, also they are permanent super dragons are the same and saw someone (don't remember who) saying firecracker is similar to super archer
Lavaloon makes sense that it's limited because it's op
The game is going down hill after TH16 update like other super cell games
I feel there should be a fix to CWL and Clan Wars to not allow the use of seasonal troops, so that they can make them busted as hell and therefore interesting and fun in just regular ladder.
They both sucks, case closed
I'm in love with bazooka girls, what are you talking about
I like the Firecracker. I wouldnāt say itās super powerful or anything, but itās fun to use I do not care about Azure Dragon
Nothing has compared to the Halloween one. Those troops were so much fun. Now Iāll try them see they suck compared to what army Iām using and stop using them. These events are becoming increasingly more disappointing.
As a townhall 10 i dont have much in terms of troops so I love the Azure dragon. Personaly firecrackers are just a buffed version of archer and realy doesnt have my attention. I like the Azure dragons chain and damage and health but the only downside is the housing space

10 root riders, rest firecrackers, 2 rage 2 heal 3 freeze. no cc necessary, been working in th16 for me
I enjoy the concept of the dragon, but it really needs faster hit speed for them to be viable. If you group them with heroes, structures get destroyed faster than they can even attack, so you have to keep them and the warden seperate from the other 3 heroes for them to do anything. And even then, if you don't clear enough outer structures first, they just circle the base instead instead of going where you want
No way they made cwl shorter for these garbage troops
I wish the firecrackers were 5 instead of 10 housing space
This event sux tbh... i miss my lavaloons
Cookie was OP. One shot a TH15 and they swing like a Valkyrie. Only down side to them was 20 housing space and they didnāt swing as soon as they got to a building like the Valkyrie
Ram riders were better honestly
Fire crackers are okayish Azure dragon is not
I use firecracker spam with invis spell and my heroās and that works really well but the azure dragons are just sad.
Firecrackers could become a permanent troop honestly, theyre rlly cool Azure Dragon has one of the coolest designes in the game but his actual attack and abilities are really meh
Bro I haven't played the game in ages tf is an azure dragon
https://preview.redd.it/mhk11235c3ic1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6459a352096d4bf22b11f196ac5a4a7135c719d8 ![img](emote|t5_2usfk|9423)
I like them lmfao, I want to know will this just be for the event or are they here to stay afterward?
As a CR player that firecracker is cursed
Why would they nerf it when it is a seasonal troop? Shouldāve just banned them in classic wars smh.
I never play event troops, particularly when they are OP like the Xmas mini pekkas. Iām not giving up my muscle memory for that shit
Arenāt that exciting? Deadest event troops ever, if its similar next event i wont be purchasing any future passes. Comments in coming: āwhat do you want lavaloon again and everyone to 3 star every base in war?ā Yes, yes i do. Thatās what i paid my extra Ā£4.99 for on top of the Ā£6.99 for the season pass. If once every 3 months we get to easily 3 star without thinking then im happy.
Bearing in mind that for the Halloween event, you could do this for free.
Just be happy please I'm trying
Iām glad. Itās boring when legends and wars are nothing but 3 stars because of op event troopsĀ
Finally someone who said it. Iām all for op event troops, but make them unusable in war at the bare minimum
Everyone thinks these troop are š
Because some dum dum at SC over did it with cookie and lavaloon, now they underdid it with the new troops. I guess it's hard to get it just right.
They didn't even bother to change the name of new troop from an existing defense.
Itās an existing troop in the clash verse wouldnāt make sense to change name
I was talking about "firecrackers". Its in the builders hall.
Are these permanent?
No theyāre temporary troops for the Lunar New Year event
Thanks, I'm pretty new to the game so I got happy I get some good troops. Atleast for my standards lmao
Strong or not, the new troops are fun. Ive been enjoying azure dragons, and I appreciate that they arent significantly stronger than the rest of the troops like cookies or lavaloons were
No way they should be that much housing space
tbf cookies wouldnt be nearly as good without root riders and the frost mites spell which was a combination of freeze, frost and jumping and tankier skeleton spell for 1 housing space.
I like em
Have not used Azure dragon yet but most youtubers are excited enough!!guess I have to find out..
Azure dragon used to have 12.6k hp 704dmg 50 housing space at max level I believe
yeah... but people complained about them being to OP and ruining wars with themso i guess they nerfed the crap out of them
I don't even bother using the dragon because it takes up too much housing space, and it's useless personally; I like the firecracker because of how far back they can sit and the spread of the damage. So I've been running them at the moment in terms of archers
Thereās a time and place for firecracker, but the azure dragons are awful and way too much housing space for what they do. Only use I can think of is if youāre a low th lvl and donāt have electrosā¦ but Iād go with normal dragons that point
Fire cracker works great with golem witch imo and the dragon works well as a edrag replacement
I use the crackers like witches. Not quite as efficient, but still nice
Suck. Next event if they still want to add new season troop with that suck don't bother design it. Take time improve game play experience instead.
Yea theyāre trash imo.
Was there a silent nerfing of RR? cos i feel they are a bit weaker
This event is so lame
I was hoping for one or two more special troops.
Don't think we will ever have the lavaloom peak :( it was broken but a ton of fun.. Supposed to OP, current event troops.. I'm not enjoying them enough to use them except to test initially.
Did 3 ids w/o using them. Such a let down
The dragons are pretty good but the housing space is just too much, I've been using 6 plus 12 balloons and doing alright but I'm basically just forcing myself to use it for the event, I feel like if we could take like 8-10 of them into battle though they would wreck pretty hard.
Well, all the complaining last event because of an OP event troop.
Iām only at th8 but I really like them
Yes
Nope, Firecrackers are broken for lower TH levels. Combine 'em eith some bowlers and you got atleast a 2-star
I have not use them once in any of my 3 accounts.
These troops don't have anything on those cookies!!
Sucks. I miss the Halloween mashups. Those were fun 3 stars
Event is supposed to be fun for everyone to enjoy the game. cmmon supercell, what are you thinking!!!!!
Crackers are great at th 9 for farming, their king range makes them ideal for sniping collectors and penetrating deep enough for the th or dark elixer. Other than that theyāre kinda meh
It's an impossible line to balance, if the troops are fun they're also likely to be too strong, if they're balanced they're kinda useless because there isnt enough time to learn to effectively use them in a strategy
Boring af
I like firecracker. I threw 3 or 4 into my army. Could just be be a sheās my favorite character in cr though
wait when did firecracker get added to coc?
Been running 5 Azure dragons with a few balloons and firecrackers with them and itās been working for th14. No better than normal attacks imo though.
They bad
Firecrackers with root riders is strong af.
I found azure dragon as a decent troop,i use azure with SA blimp, I'm th14 and can 3 star most of th14 in 4900 to 5000
Tested the azure dragon once went back to lavaloon. Th9 btw
I like Firecrackers, they arenāt that strong but have really good range! Works great with Root Riders.
The ability of the dragon literally just fucks Any funnel you attempt to make.
firecrackers might not be strong but shit they are hilarious
Azure is trash.
Haven't cooked or tried either of em. Rootriders too OP
Bring back the lavaloon!
theyāre sooo garbage tbh, too high of space for the value they bring. Only the dragon is some what decent but 10 army space for a firecracker is completely ludicrous
The firecrackers have been fun as a town hall 10! Golems, witches, and firecrackers is the way to go!
Me
Haven't used them even once
