How to win with Hog EQ against Golem
General strategy for these deck types, written by hand. The win rates on this page are measured; this advice isn’t.
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.
Force an answer to Hog Rider every cycle and use Earthquake on a defending building and the tower together, so each spell does double duty.
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.
How to win with Golem against Hog EQ
Build one large push behind Golem, accepting some tower damage early to win in double elixir.
Earthquake makes buildings unreliable against this deck, so defend Hog with ground troops as well as a building.
Keep troops off the tiles around your tower when Earthquake is in cycle, and pressure the other lane after it is spent.
