Giant

"Slow but durable, only attacks buildings. A real one-man wrecking crew!"

Summary

 * The Giant is unlockable from the Training Camp (Tutorial).
 * He is a single target, slow, melee ground troop with high hitpoints.
 * The Giant solely targets buildings, such as Crown Towers.
 * He wears a large, brown, cloth coat and has ginger sideburns and bushy eyebrows.

Strategy

 * The Giant is effectively used as a shield for other troops. He can soak the damage of enemy troops while other units deal damage.
 * Dealing with an opposing Giant that is paired with another troop can be difficult.
 * If it is a ranged troop like the Witch, Musketeer, Bomber, Archers, or Spear Goblins, just wait for them to cross the river and take them out with an appropriate troop. Don't forget to deal with the Giant right after, or distract him with some buildings to give your Crown Towers more time to take him out.
 * If it is a melee troop like the Prince, Hog Rider, or Mini P.E.K.K.A., you don't have to wait for them to cross the river. You can play your cards in a way that they will target the damage dealing troop first.
 * An overlooked Giant attacking a Crown Tower can easily deal an immense amount of damage on his own.
 * The Giant can be easily distracted by placing a building card next to him, such as the Tombstone. Once the Tombstone is destroyed, the 4 Skeletons spawned will aid in eliminating the Giant.
 * When attacking, if you put a troop card down targeting a Crown Tower that is already targeting a Giant, the Crown Tower will not start targeting it until the Giant is dead.

Trivia

 * On 9/2/16, the Chest Rewards &amp; Card Balance Update increased his hitpoints by 5%.
 * On 23/3/16, a Balance Update increased his damage by 5%.
 * The Giant is identical to his counterpart in Clash of Clans, and unlike most troops, he even has the same targeting system.
