Hog Rider - soldier stats and troop tactics in Clash of Clans
A nod to lovers of 1980s TV series featuring ex-crack Commando teams, the intimidating Hog Rider unit has the distinctive feature of being able to leap over walls thanks to its trusted boar steed.
Their high housing space requirements can't be overlooked, but used tactically they create a formidable force in numbers (the wall-jumping, high damage and hit points, and short training time help, of course), or can provide a suitable distraction during an offensive strike.
We pity the fool who has to go up against them.
