The Meteor Golem Buff: A New Clash of Clans Meta?
Featuring iTzu Strategy 8 min read
The Meteor Golem has often been overlooked, but a massive pre-update buff has turned it into one of the most durable and reliable troops in Clash of Clans. With an additional 3,000 Hit Points, this troop is no longer just a gimmick—it's a powerhouse.
Why the Meteor Golem is Now Meta
- Massive HP Pool: The 3,000 HP buff makes them incredibly hard to take down.
- Hero Targeting: Meteor Golems will retarget and destroy enemy Queens or Kings.
- Simple Execution: Walls are irrelevant. No complex wall-breaking strategies needed.
The Strategy: "Fireball Pathing"
The strategy relies on a simple concept: Pathing over Value. Instead of using the Warden's Fireball solely to take out high-value targets, use it to cut the funnel.
Pro Mindset
"You are not looking for the craziest value... you are just trying to control and path your Meteor Golems."
Execution Steps
- The Setup: Use Grand Warden with Fireball to destroy a specific defensive compartment.
- The Main Push: Send Meteor Golems and Royal Champion into the core.
- Flank Support: Deploy King and Queen on edges to funnel the core squad.
- Overgrowth: Use Overgrowth to "turn off" back-end defenses.
