Capital Raid: Super Miners (9/3/3)

Clan Capital Raid Weekend Meta 2025

Read this first

  • Ram first → opens path and eats traps. Safe funnel.
  • 9 Miners in a wide wave → let them tunnel straight to value.
  • Graveyard where troops will die next → entry → core → back end.

Quick setup (before you drop)

  • Pick the entry on the side with dense defenses (Infernos, Blast Bow, core line).
  • Draw the path: Rams open straight lanes so Miners don’t split.
  • Plan Graveyards: #1 entry, #2 core, #3 back end (where deaths will happen).

What it is

Army: 9× Super Miner · 3× Battle Ram · 3× Graveyard

  • Super Miners = high DPS, ignore walls (tunnel), drop a death bomb on KO → big splash cleanup.
  • Battle Ram opens blocked paths, pulls traps, then spawns Barbarians → funnel + trap tanking.
  • Graveyard spawns ground/air skeletons where your troops die → extra DPS, triggers traps, distracts defenses.

Why this works

Super Miners are strongest vs compact layouts with short pathing. Rams keep the group together and remove traps. Graveyard turns losses into time and damage while death bombs help finish clumped defenses.

Drop order (cheat sheet)

  1. Ram #1 first → open first layer + pull traps + make the funnel.
  2. Graveyard #1 early → on the entry lane (skeletons tank right away).
  3. 9 Miners in a wide wave → all at once toward the core.
  4. Ram #2–3 → keep core lanes open or re-route if Miners drift.
  5. Graveyard #2–3 → core → back end, where most troops will die next.

Rule of thumb: Miners target the nearest building. Clean funnel = straight line to value. Death bombs finish clustered defenses.

Use on / Avoid

  • Use on: compact cores, many multi-target defenses, short route to the middle.
  • Avoid: very spread-out bases, wide gaps, layouts that force Miners to split.

If-then fixes (quick)

  • If Miners split → drop a Ram to reopen the straight lane.
  • If Miners stall at a wall → Ram through and refresh the funnel.
  • If splash deletes you at entry → place Graveyard #1 earlier and slightly deeper.
  • If back end wipes you → save Graveyard #3 for the last defense cluster.

Common mistakes

  • Miners before Ram: Always send a Ram first to pull traps and open space.
  • Late Graveyard: Place where your troops are about to die, not after they’re gone.
  • No funnel: Use Rams to steer; don’t let Miners split around the map.
