Healer Troop Guide, When to use this troop and how to use this troop, army description and usage with heroes.
Healer is a flying majestic creature which doesn't harm any other troop or building, as the name suggests it only heals. She helps your army troops to regain health, it follows your troop by flying behind at a certain range and keeps on doing her magic. It can prove lethal to certain bases in which only a single hero Barbarian King or Archer Queen can destroy more than 70% of the base with the help of healers.
How Healer Works?
After a Healer is deployed, it starts healing the closest troops.Healer only heals the ground troops which means it will not heal the flying units like other Healers, Balloons, Dragons, Minions, Lava Hounds or Baby Dragons. This is what makes it different from a healing spell which heals air troops too.
Supercell has reduced healing power of Healer to 50% while using on Heroes due to the easy destruction caused by Queen Walk strategy in which a combination of Archer Queen and All Healers is used to get easy 2 or sometimes 3 stars.
Unlike other troops, Healer's power is measured by Heal Per Second instead of Damage Per Second.

Healer Attacking Strategy
- Healers are most effective on troops with higher health like Giants, Pekkas or Golem. This is because low health troops like archer dies in single attack of Archer or Wizard tower without given an opportunity to heal. Giant-Healer Raid is a popular strategy used at lower town hall levels 5,6 and 7. In this wall breakers creates path for giants to destroy air defenses and then healers are deployed on your remaining troops.
- At higher town hall levels healers are useful in clearing the outer free to destroy buildings of a base by deploying them on your heroes like archer queen or barbarian king. Remember that there is no point of using more than 4 healers on a single troop or hero as the healing power of the healers decreases with that (in effect from 2015 COC Update). Proper deployment may help you to destroy 50% of the base just using your heroes. Also keep in mind that in this strategy heroes and healers are deployed simultaneously with other troops (your main attacking army) but usually from a definite gap so that healer doesn't move towards your troops leaving your heroes to die for nothing.
Healers As A Defense In Clan Castle
It's never advised to keep healers in your clan castle for defense due to main two reasons: first it takes huge space of 14 troop capacity and second reason is that it will only heal your heroes and other castle troops, if they are dead it's useless, 14 troop capacity becomes useless.If you have any other queries then comment below.
