Level 10 Town Hall is required to access the Miner, the twelfth Elixir troop obtained in the level 12 Barracks.
Strategy
When not engaged with enemy soldiers or structures, the Miner is a single-target troop that digs underground.
Miners will strike the nearest building when they launch an attack; they have no preference.
Offensive: The Miner is a troop that can breach walls and assault anything, much like the Hog Rider before it began to attack defenders. The Miner’s mechanics, however, are superior because it is unbeatable underground.
Defensive: Miners do not dig underground when defending, but they are reasonably tanky Clan Castle troops that inflict decent damage. Rather, they travel at a slower speed above earth. This, along with their very sluggish hit speed, makes it possible to swarm a defensive Miner with a large number of troops.
