Gravy's guide to countering the golem

Hello internet it's gravy and today I have my golem countering guide.

The golem is a dangerous troop to leave uncountered. It's a tank that can do some decent damage on your tower in one hit. It can take out a crown tower when not countered. So that's why I'm making this guide.

Golem

Pros

High health

The golem is one of the tankiest cards in the game. It can survive hits from the pekka, sparky, etc. With this amount of defense it can get multiple hits on a tower before dying.

Death damage

The main threat to tanks are swarms. But the golem can kill a skeleton army just by dying.

Golemites

In addition to the death damage, the golem's death spawns 2 golemites. They're basically weaker vesions of the golem.

slow speed

This is both a blessing and a curse. Since it's expensive it can be placed in the back, and by the time it's by the bridge you could have enough elixer to add a troop.

tower targeting

Because the golem attacks only towers, it doesn't get distracted by troops.

Cons

slow speed

As I said before, slow speed is a blessing and a curse. One reason is that it is easier to counter due to the time it takes to get to the tower. It's also a con if you're low on time.

Slow attack speed + weak attack

Its attack isn't the best but it's decent. But what makes it bad is that it doesn't have good attack speed. It takes 2.5 seconds to attack once.

Now time for the counters.

Method #1 swarm it

Swarming is a strategy that involves surrounding a troop with weak troops. The skeleton army works great because of the large amount of skeletons for 3 elixer. Though you must keep in mind that the golem death damage can take out most of the swarm. A good strategy is to use a minion horde or spear goblins to avoide the death damage.

method #2 destroy it

To use this strategy, use a high damage troop. Recommended troops are sparky, the pekka, the mini pekka, giant skeleton bomb, inferno dragon/tower, the three musketeers and the rocket. These all can kill the golem before it gets big damage on the tower.

method #3 distract it

Because it only targets buildings, the golem can only be distracted by buildings. Use this as an advantage. Make the golem attack a building like the tombstone. Place it in the middle so both crown towers attack it.

method #4 slow it

The golem is very slow and using an ice wizard can slow it even more. After this you can distract it to slow the process even more.

bonus

Use the golemites and a tornado to activate your crown tower.

Since the golem and the the lava hound tied the lava hound will get a blog soon.
