The X-Bow and Strategies

Defensive strategies:

  • Because the X-Bow has longest attack range in game and because of its power, you should place it in the core for lasting as long as it can.
  • Always refill your X-Bow with Elixir. Without it, you will lost much more Elixir than the number you need to refill.
  • If you have more than two X-Bows, have at least one in the Ground&Air Mode.
  • There are plenty of good bases with perfect X-Bow placements that you can see at the Base Layout section.

Offensive Strategy:

  • You can see a X-Bow is loaded or not by watching the small box on it. When it is loaded, there is a small Elixir box. When it is empty, there is nothing.
    Loaded and Empty X-Bow
  • Truly, the X-Bow has no weaknesses unless it is in the Ground mode (so you can attack the base with Air Troops). You can know a X-Bow is in which mode like in two images above (horizontal to the ground or title up).
  • Because the X-Bow is one of the most powerful defensive buildings, It is recommend to use high HP tanker troops such as Giants and Golems to distract it and followed by bunches of attackers because it just can attack one target at a time.

  2. In my base my xbows are both ground and my base hasn’t been three starred and barely two starred but I’m a farmer so they can get one star on my base easily. I wouldn’t put one xbow ground/air I would leave them both one or the other. BigBlueNation
