Talk:Battle Ram/@comment-33560940-20171123032453

I like the battle ram; I like the hog rider; they both have their own advantages:

The hog rider is more of an attacking unit; he can devastate a tower if left alone, and is also OP in cycle decks.

Battle ram on the other hand is a defence, a tank, a bait and a lightning rod; he can play a defencive role by absorbing hits, and then spawning 2 barbarians which will distract AND damage the attackers; this beast of a card can absorb 2 SWINGS from a P.E.K.K.A, and then it spawns 2 barbarians, which can only survive one swing, results: P.E.K.K.A. has to make 4 attacks to kill the ram and spawned barbarians all together.

It can be a tank; the barbarians spawned have a decent amount of HP, so they can tank for the supporting units, allowing them to destroy the tower (just about 2 days ago, I had a match where my opponent played a level 7 fireball; first, i had 1 nearly dead musketeer behind an ice golem with 1/3 of his HP deal some decent damage, then, I had 2 ALMOST DEAD musketeers behind a battle ram devastate my opponents tower. He tried killing them with a valkyrie, but the ram pushed her away, allowing my musketeers to snipe the valkyrie.)

He can be a bait; Because of its charge ability, it can be a zap bait and a log bait (especialy log bait, since the log can finish off the ram AND hit the barbs)

It can be a lightning rod; if your tower is low on health, or you are playing 3 musketeers, you can use the battle ram to absorb the lightning completely.

Oh, and also, since it takes time to charge and it doesn't jump over the river, it can pull slower units and it is also greater at pulling things like Ebarbs than hog (I had so much times when I tried pulling Ebarbs with a hog, but he jumped, so the Ebarbs ignored him and destroyed my tower...)

So, hog rider is better on offence, as he is harder to defend than battle ram (comparing simple synergies like hog/ram + fire spirits or ice golem), but the ram has MUCH more uses, and he is better suited for medium - big pushes, so...

AND THE WINNER IS....

BATTLE RAM!

(at least in my opinion)
