Summary
Strategy with the Montapuerco
Offensive
It is a letter with the main objective of the structures. His speed is among the highest in the entire game and he does relatively good damage. Obviously, a Level 5 Hog Rider is unable to drop a tower on its own, but it can do considerable damage. The Montapuerco is capable of jumping a river, which at first it was not understood what it was for.
Recent experiments have confirmed that the Hog Rider is capable of jumping a Log while jumping the river. This can be used for when the Hog Rider jumps the river and they release the Trunk, be able to jump over it and go for the structures. You have managed to make your enemy spend 2 of the elixir in the trash, while you do great damage to his tower.
The Hog Rider can push any troop. Better be melee range, since pushing a Princess ... may not be the best option in the game.
In the final seconds, Hog Rider can be a decisive card, capable of dodging many attacks and hitting the tower. If you break the tower, you can have the difference between winning that game or not winning it.
It is better not to use the Hog Rider up to a high level, such as 4.
Defensive
The Montapuerco is a card with great defensive potential. His speed causes him to drag normal Barbarians (for example) into his own field and allow the tower to finish them off one by one. The Hog Rider is also capable of dodging PEKKA. If it is thrown in a good way, it is capable of causing the PEKKA to be distracted and to chase you slowly. Obviously, when it reaches him, the Montapuerco will already be dead and the PEKKA will have to do the same route again.
In the last seconds, it can be decisive. Driving away enemy troops before they touch your tower can save you from something very dangerous. It can serve in a Cheap Circle.
Defend it
The Hog Rider can be defended with many cards. An Army of Skeletons prevents him from reaching his objective. A Mini PEKKA can do devastating damage to you. An Inferno Tower distracts him while doing a lot of damage to him at the same time. In this case, you have gained 1 elixir which could matter a lot at any time.
The Hog Rider can be defended by Supercell's idea of the Disposable Heroes combo, but from Arena 7 down it doesn't work.
