How to win with Golem Night Witch against Hog Rider
General strategy for these deck types, written by hand. The win rates on this page are measured; this advice isn’t.
Build one large push behind Golem, accepting some tower damage early to win in double elixir.
Keep a building or a cheap ground swarm ready for each Hog, and place it to pull Hog toward the middle of the arena.
Trade elixir on defense, then counter-push the same lane while they cycle back to Hog.
How to win with Hog Rider against Golem Night Witch
Punish the Golem placement immediately in the opposite lane; you win by trading damage, not defending.
Avoid spending your building on the Golem — save it for the support troops.
In double elixir, keep pressure constant so they can never build a full push.
Pressure with Hog Rider whenever the opponent is low on elixir or out of position, and answer pushes as cheaply as you can so the next Hog comes sooner.
Punish the Golem drop in the opposite lane, because they will be low on elixir for a long time.
Defend the support troops rather than the Golem, and keep a splash or big spell for the troops behind it.
