The Best Way to Fish out a Lava Hound from Clan Castle - Clash of Clans

Recently, many Clash of Clans players have been placing lava hounds in their clan castles to use as a defensive measure against enemy attacks. However, numerous players are still unaware of the most effective method to eliminate lava hounds. While some deploy troops like archers or wizards, others resort to using poison spells. This article will explore the proper strategies for defeating lava hounds in clan castles.

Always think that the contents of Clan Castle are lava hounds

Assuming that the enemy Clan Castle contains lava hounds ensures you prepare a robust army to defeat them. Generally, lava hounds inflict minimal damage on your troops; for instance, a level 3 lava hound deals only 168 damage per attack, requiring six hits to eliminate a level 6 wizard. However, the lava pups, the offspring of lava hounds, pose a real threat to your forces due to their swiftness and higher damage output compared to their progenitors. It's not uncommon for hog riders to fall victim to these lava pups. Therefore, it's crucial to eliminate them before launching your attack.

How to overcome defenses with lava hounds

There are several methods to defeat lava hounds effectively. This guide will focus on the most efficient technique: using the Poison Spell. While the Poison Spell doesn't damage the lava hound directly, it is extremely effective against lava pups. Your approach may vary; you might lure the hound out and then eliminate it with a wizard or archer or opt for a direct attack. Regardless of the strategy, the key is to deploy the Poison Spell once the lava hound splits into lava pups.
