The is excellent in so many situations. A lone can deal an impressive amount of damage.

Place him behind a tank, the tank will soak all damage while the is dealing tons of damage. With his insane attack speed, he can easily take out defending units and shred any defensive tower.

Place him in front of a push If you want to make the use of his effect early (when coupled with etc).

+ is my favorite small push. Place the in front of the to soak damage and will take out any defensive squishy defensive troops used to distract the LJ.

I have seem some impressive decks with the involve tanks such as , and . The tank should be placed at the back to allow you to build up for the big push. Place splash damage troops behind the tank (, , …) after that. When the tanker is about to cross the river, place the either in front of or behind the tank. If you use him in front of the tank, he will die early and your push. If you place him behind the push, he can help you deal with defensive units.

+ + 3 is an insane combo you can easily face these days in the Challenge mode. + and + another great combo.

Another strategy I really like using these days is + . I usually start the push by placing a splash damage at the back, then, when it is about to cross the bridge, I place this combo down. is ideal for this combo as the gives her tons of more DPS. You can also use to immediate take down any swarm such as or . If the and LJ make it to the tower, you will take the Tower down in just a few seconds, even without the . Watching the raged hitting the Tower is one of the most satisfying feelings I ever have while playing Clash Royale. If your survives, while being raged, she will attack very fast and deal unbelievable amount of damage with her . Her are also excellent at distracting defensive Mini P.E.K.K.A, , …

How to counter him?

Pretty like the Mini P.E.K.K.A, our is excellent at dealing with tanky units.

High damage units such as Mini P.E.K.K.A, , P.E.K.K.A… and tanky units such as , , Valyrie… can easily counter the (assuming that is on the opponent’s side). They can either kill or help the Tower kill the before he makes it to the Tower. Also, even LJ attack speed is very fast, swarms can easily take him down (, , …). Air troops can also kill the LJ before he touches the Tower.

So, If LJ js your main damage dealer, try to couple him with splash damage troops in your push. Don’t hesitate to zap your opponent’s defensive troops If you can 1 hit them (unless your opponent has ). Have your Zap ready, hover it on the opponent’s Arena so you can easily release your finger and use it immediately. As mentioned above, + is my favorite combo.

Builders are the harder counters to . You will need to use a tanky units in front of the LJ to help him survive. and work great at this since they are building targeting units.

Lumberjack on defense

The is not only good on offense but also on defense. Indeed, he is such a beast on defense.

Place him at the middle to lure and kill the Mini P.E.K.K.A. is also pretty good at dealing with but the Hog still can hit the Tower 1-2 times.

You can also use him to deal with although It’s an negative trade. Or, you can take some hits from the to have a full HP .

At level 1, deals 285 damage per second. I really like using to stop tankers. For example, when the is placed, I drop the down and use to take it down faster. If your opponent uses combo, use to pull the , zap the then drop your LJ right on top of the . Defensive LJ can help you launch an epic counterpush right after that.

If you want to deal with the , drop a tanky unit on one side and drop you LJ on the other side to quickly take out the .

If there is a , drop the LJ right on top of it. LJ will take out the before she can hit him the second time.

In conclusion

The is a beast on both offense and defense. With the impressive DPS and movement speed, he can take out so many troops. He can be used to spill the everywhere or for his damage. His damage can be used to take out tower or to stop pushes. Although he has a few weakness when it comes to air troops and buildings, he is still a great card.
