“Giant attacks defense buildings first. When those are taken care of, he heads towards whatever is left on the battlefield. As a big guy, he can soak up a lot of damage.”
The Giant is a troop in the game unlocked after completing Viper's Vicinity (13.15). He is a single-target melee troop that prioritizes defenses first. If there are no defenses left, he attacks the closest target to him.
Strategy[]
- Even though the count of the troop is comparatively less, it surely does tank incoming damage and might heal with Healing Gauntlet in the right placement. Better to use against high level defenses.
