How to funnel your heroes
- tutorial by Eddy 2.0
Funneling your heroes properly is critical for just about any 3-star strategy. Hopefully this is nothing new for you. The example shown here is from a shattered laloon attack, but the same principles for funneling are used whether you are attacking with laloon or hogs, and for both cold blooded (1 golem) or shattered (2 golem) attacks.
Start by aiming your golems such that they will tank for your wizards (or minions if the base allows).
As your golems tank, drop wizards working your way from outside in. Usually four wizards is enough (two on each side). If high HP building like storages, use two wizards for that building.
In this case, pG happened to use six wizards. Try not to carry more than 8 wizards total in your raid. (Remember to save 2-3 wizards for cleanup)
Next, drop your AQ in the middle. Your AQ, alongside your wizards, will clear the structures to create a funnel for your BK.
Once your funnel is nearly done, use your WBs and/or jump spell.
Note: Golems will move and stop tanking for your wizards, and your wizards will most likely die at this point. Be patient and use wb/jump only after the funnel is nearly completed.
Note: Be careful with your wallbreakers! Make sure they are timed to avoid mortar hits, and path them away from any golems that are being hit by wizard towers.
Once you have a wide funnel, the king really has nowhere else to go except where you want him to.
Note: Have patience on dropping the king. You don't want him getting ahead of the golems and taking hits from the enemy CC troops or defensive towers. Make sure enemy CC is locked on by queen and that BK will not run in front of everything. Then you may drop him. Creating a very wide funnel will allow you to drop BK in very late.
Now start the rest of your raid. For Laloon attacks, try to take out an AD on your way to the queen. For goho attacks, try to take out a DGB spot on your way to the AQ.
