How to win with Hog EQ against Log Bait
General strategy for these deck types, written by hand. The win rates on this page are measured; this advice isn’t.
Count their Goblin Barrels and small spells; play your log-type spell for the Barrel, not the Gang.
Pressure the lane opposite their Inferno Tower to force awkward placements.
Don’t overcommit on defense — chip damage adds up but Rocket cycles win close games.
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.
Count their Goblin Barrels and save your small spell for Barrel, using troops to handle the other swarms.
Pressure them so they cannot build a bait cycle, since most bait decks defend big tanks only with Inferno Tower or a cheap building.
How to win with Log Bait against Hog EQ
Make the opponent spend small spells on your swarm cards, then land Goblin Barrel once their answer is gone, and finish with Rocket 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.
