About the Golem in Clash of Clans Dark Elixir Troops
The Golem is a Clash of Clans dark elixir troop, trained in the Dark Barracks. It can attack ground targets. It deals single target damage, focusing all of its damage on one target at a time. Each Golem costs 30 housing space in your army camps.
The Golem first becomes available at Town Hall 8. At level 1 it has 5,100 hitpoints, growing to 9,600 hitpoints once fully upgraded to level 14. At its maximum level it deals 100 damage per second. Taking the Golem all the way to level 14 costs roughly 928,500 Dark Elixir and about 49d 2h of upgrade time.
With a movement speed of 12 and a range of 1 tiles, the Golem fits armies that need units that push into the base.
Among the 10 Dark Elixir Troops with an attack, the Golem has the 7th highest damage per second at maximum level.
Golem strengths and weaknesses
Strengths
- Its single target damage is efficient against individual high hitpoint targets.
- It has the highest hitpoints of any unit in the Dark Elixir Troops category, so it works well at the front of an attack.
Weaknesses
- It can only attack ground targets, so it offers nothing against air defences and needs support from units that can hit air.
- Because it only hits one target at a time, it can be overwhelmed by large groups of defending troops.
- At 30 housing space it is expensive to field in numbers, so it is usually brought as a small core of an army.
