The Battle Ram was into Clash of Clash a a temporary troop as part of the 2017 "where's the Builder" campaign. During the 1st week of the Builder's road trip, the Barbarian became the game's temporary Builder and along with threat came the "Barbarian Party Event" which gave us the 1st version of the Battle Ram. The 1st version attacked any and all buildings and was not the most effective troop. Once the Builder returned Supercell did a Grand Finale type of event and brought back  bunch of elements from the 4 weeks that the builder was away.. The Battle Ram was one of them.. The New and Improved Battle Ram too!

​

       The Battle Ram only attacks walls while the Ram in in hand. They pack a punch at X4 damage on walls. As soon as the Battle Ram impacts the Walls the four Barbarian that were holding the Ram (the Ram gets destroyed with the collision with the Walls each attack) all go their separate ways. They are not fully leveled out troops either. Their Hit Points and DPS both vary per attackers Town Hall level and they are slightly weaker than the normal Barbarian of the attacker's TH level.

​

       The Battle Ram may have been introduced as a temporary troop but their interesting and unique game play may earn them a permanent position in the Clash of Clans troop roster. Here are a few tips on using them...

• use then as a replacement for BOTH Wall Breakers and 1 Jump Spell

• you have to time these troops just right! I would NOT suggest starting out a raid with them either,

• Drop in some sort of tanking troops to draw the outer perimeter defenses aggro away from the location that you want to deploy the Battle Rams

• use 3-6 Battle Rams together along with a Rage Spell for best results

• if timed correctly the tanking troop (Giants in this example) will funnel through the initial hole that the Battle Ram will make. This will give the remaining Battle Rams a chance to impact the 2nd set of walls. They have more Hit Points than Wall Breakers so the odds of breaking through the 2nd layer of walls are much better than when using similar tactics with Wall Breakers.

• Use the Barbarian King as back up for the Battle Ram. If you use 6 Battle Rams you will have 24 Barbarians shortly after the impacts with the Walls. Use the Barbarian King's ability The Iron Fist to summon even more Barbarians and to Rage the entire group of them up again

​

       If all goes well you can get a great push into a base with the Battle Rams, a Rage Spell, a Golem or 6 Giants and the Barbarian King. Results vary with your skill level and a little luck, but there is potential for great things to happen when using the Battle Ram. They are 4 housing space troops and you need about 6 the potentially get through the 2nd set of walls but, if you do get through 2 sets of walls you could have just saved your self a Jump or even a set of 4 Earthquake spells and you still have a small horde or Barbarians mindlessly bashing everything in sight. Give this troops a try for about 10-12 raids and see if you get the same positive results that a number of other players have got!!
