User blog:Invader Tom/Clash Royale: Guide To Countering Hog Rider.

Ah, yes. The Hog Rider. One of the greatest cards in the game. It's hard to counter sometimes, but one thing rest assured: By the end of this blog, you'll have no trouble countering Hog Riders.

1. Goblins.

If you can spare a few hits on your tower, Goblins are the best bet. Why? Because you'll earn 2 Elixir, you can use your OWN Hog Rider with the Goblins, starting a deadly combo.

2. Skeletons.

While not as good as Goblins, these guys can prevent LOTS of damage. Not good, but not really bad.

3. Barbarians.

Why is it Number 3? While this is the best counter, you'll have a good counterpush and everything, it costs 1 more Elixir. That is CRUCIAL.

4. Mini P.

A pretty good counter to the Hog, but it is too slow AND if the enemy has Goblins with it, your not gonna be in for a good time.

5. Musketeer.

It's fast, it can start a good counterpush, it can prevent lots of damage. One of the best counters, i'd recommend it.

Top 5 BEST COMBOS.

5. Hog + Fire Spirits.

These guys can.. 1. Weaken Barbarians and kill almost EVERY COUNTER ON THIS LIST. But from something like Mini P, not that good.

4. Hog + Spear Goblins.

It can defend from air AND it can do alot of damage. I'd recommend you try it.

3. Trifecta.

The hard counter to this is MINION HORDE. The musk doesn't do splash and the valk doesn't target air.

2. Hog Goblins.

If not stopped, this can destroy a tower.

1. Hog Freeze.

If you use ANYTHING, prepare for a Freeze. This is a deadly combo.
