- Release Golems, use them as the rock shields. While the defense buildings are hitting them, release your high DPS troops like Wizards, Witches,…
- Always brings high DPS troops like Wizards or Witches together with Golems because their damage is really bad.
- Because Golems aren’t affected by Spring Traps so you can use them for testing traps.
- Destroy or use Freeze Spell on the Inferno Towers as soon as possible If they are in Single Target Mode because they will kill your Golems very fast. If they are in Multiple Target Mode, you don’t need to worry about them so much.

- Choose a good base layout.
- Always ask for range troops (Archers, Wizards,…) from your Clan mates so they can attack Golems from inside.
