▶️ Is the Root Rider Spam Still Strong at Town Hall 16?

In these balance changes, only Town Hall 16 doesn't get a major change. However, this small change can have a significant impact. By targeting the Root Riders, reducing their HP slightly and greatly reducing their DPS, the efficiency of Root Rider armies will decrease. This will push players to focus on or try out New Town Hall 16 Attack Strategies. Also, check out our video to know if Root Riders are still Strong or if it's time to switch strategies.

Our caster, Hooked, showcases multiple attacks featuring Root Riders to see if Root Rider armies have truly become weaker or if these changes are insignificant. Stick around till the end if you're unsure about switching to new armies. Well, as these Balance Changes drop by, we'll keep you updated with new meta attack strategies too so you can pick a strategy that best fits for you!
