Talk:Hog Rider/@comment-36067310-20180928170257

Problem about hog is that there is NO troop in the game that can counter the hog for a positive elixir trade, mini pekka wont count because you have to place it so perfectly, that you will most likely not be able to do that same perfect placement all the time and get that hog to hit your tower.

But what about a building? Sure, but not everyone wants to use a building, and thats what the hog rider does, it punishes you for not using a building, because buildings are the ONLY card to properly counter the hog rider.

Hog rider is extremely easy to use and the best choice if you dont want to put any effort at all to get damage on the tower. Either decrease the HP on the hog, or make it cost 5 elixir.
