[GUIDE] - How to lure the King/Queen and Clan Castle

I noticed in my clan during our clan wars blindly spamming troops with little regard for the CC or heroes etc
I have repeatedly stressed the need to lure and kill the CC and Heroes as the CC will be packing high lvl wizards, dragons etc

I have created a quick guide and a mnemomic.

2.0 Luring Strategy

2.1 Trigger Ranges:

During the scouting phases click on each of the CC, and the heroes and see where their ranges are. Are they outside the walls, exposed or very hard to lure? (behind walls, defences)

2.2 Troops:

Depending on the trigger ranges available you will need to plan your luring troops. If the CC and heroes can be lured outside walls easily or they are in the open, then you only need barbs or archer to get their attention. If the CC and heroes are behind walls you will to think which troops will work best. For luring close to a wall, giants or wall breakers will do, to get in one layer then Hogs or possibly balloons will work, or a combo or wall breakers then higher troops.

2.3 Getting Attention:

heroes only need to be alerted by one troop (when you see the red exclamation mark over their heads you have alerted them) However for CC, you will need to make sure you empty everything out, the whole lot. The CC empties out by troop tiers, so archers, minions would come out first followed by higher lvl troops with dragons etc last. Now to get the whole CC out you will need to make sure to have attention of the CC long enough, this means being inside the trigger radius. Therefore for harder CC trigger radius you need giants to bang away at walls, multiple wall breakers then troops going in or 2-3 hogs jumping into take out a defence. This is very important, I have seen many times the archers have come out and didn't get the wizards who were still left there waiting to smash the incoming troops

2.4 Luring to Kill position:

Once you have the attention you need to take them out. While in scouting mode look for any areas on the map that are not covered by any defences, these are the best places to take CC and heroes to kill them. Remember once you have their attention and the CC fully out, you don't have to be in their trigger radius anymore, on the other side of the map in the corner by that lovely builders hut, one barb pounding away will draw them all over there. For high powered CC troops you may want to move them in one direction to bunch them up then take them down to another position that is easier to kill once they are bunched. If you cannot find a safe place to lure them too, find the place not covered by mortars at least, or the least covered area.

2.5 Taking out the CC troops and heroes:

There are many combinations to use, and you may want to pick them off separately one by one as they make there way across the map as well. However for barbarian king(up to lvl 20) 5 minions should be enough, archer queen (up to lvl 20) 10 barbs will do the trick and for the CC troops a ring of 25-30 archers or 4-5 wizards behind a wall of 15-20 barbs will do the trick. Also you may want to use witches as well. These can be from your own CC as well for good affect. If all else fails then your own heals straight into special abilities can also work.
