How to win with Log Bait against Golem
General strategy for these deck types, written by hand. The win rates on this page are measured; this advice isn’t.
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.
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 Log Bait
Build one large push behind Golem, accepting some tower damage early to win in double elixir.
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.
