Bombardier

Bombardier is a common rarity card in Clash Royale that can be obtained from the Pit of Bones arena (Arena 2).

Details

• It can be obtained from chests after reaching Arena 2.
• It is a medium-range, area-damage troop, with moderately low hit points and moderately high damage.
• 2 units of elixir are required to set up this card.
• The Bomber is a skeleton that carries a black bomb and wears a cap with gold-rimmed pilot lenses.

Strategy

• The Bomber is best used defensively, as it can destroy Barbarians, Goblins, Spear Goblins, Archers, the Skeleton Army, and other ground swarm troops more effectively than other cards, due to its high area damage.
• Although it has few health points. is able to survive some Arrows of the same level. Therefore, using any spell that has a higher cost is a waste of elixir, since wasting a Fireball or Lightning to damage a Bomber results in an elixir advantage for the opponent unless the player damages another. thing with the spell like a Princess Tower.
• A lone Bomber can be countered with a Bolt, Snowball, or The Log along with the help of a Tower of Princesses without the Bomber causing any damage. The player should have the Bolt ready, and when the Bomber is within range of the Tower, cast the spell. The Princess Tower damage along with the 0.5 second Bolt stun will prevent the Bomber from being able to drop bombs for a positive elixir exchange.
• For just three elixir, the Bomber deals good area damage and is one of the cheapest Barbarian counters due to its range. In fact, it only takes the Bomber three casts to eliminate Barbarians of the same level, and a Bomber of a higher level only takes two attacks. Because of this, it complements attacks in conjunction with a tank very well.
• An effective way to counter a lone Bomber is to place a low-cost unit like the Skeletons or an Ice Spirit immediately followed by another low-cost unit like the Goblins. The first unit will distract the Bomber while the second unit destroys it.
• The Bomber cannot attack air units, making it vulnerable against Minions and flying troops. However, when using the Bomber, the player can place protective troops such as the Giant or the Baby Dragon.
• Because it is very light, the Bomber can be pushed around by almost any other troop in the game. In particular, fast units like Goblins can provide the Bomber with a large speed boost.
• If protected by an Ice Golem, the Bomber can take on mini tanks such as the Elite Barbarians, the Knight, the Mini PEKKA, the Bandit, and others due to their high damage per hit.
• The Bomber can be substituted for the Wizard, depending on the player's strategy and tastes.
  • The Bomber has a larger area damage radius than the Mage, making it a more suitable option for destroying hordes of ground troops. However, it cannot attack air troops and it has fewer hit points.
  • The Bomber is also better in desperate situations when the player's elixir is low, as it only costs 3 elixir, as opposed to 5 elixir that the Mage costs.
• A good counter to the Bomber is the Bandit. The Bandit will launch towards the Bomber, dodging the bomb thrown at her, which will leave her with all life and make a counterattack.
• Tower Damage: 542
