2. The defense strategy

- Although X-Bow when fully loaded and located a reasonable position, X-Box can defeat the enemy, but you should not put it in the front line. X-Bow has the best shoot range in the game so it's best to put it behind all other defenses. It is best to place it in the center of the base.

- Remember to refill the X-Bow Elixir! If X-Bow is not loaded, it's a waste of space, further also shows your basis of neglect and other opponents will be ready to attack.

- If you have 2 X-Bows, you should use one X-Bow to shoot targets on the ground and the other one to shoot both ground and aerial targets.

- Although X-Bow shoot very fast but each shot does not cause much damage. So it’s better to use other powerful defenses to support the X-Bow, so you'll defeat the enemy quickly and effectively.

3. Offensives

- Basically, the X-Bow has no weaknesses. But if the X-Bow only shoots ground targets, you can break it. To define the targets of the X-Bow Shooting is very easy. If the X-Bow is parallel with the ground so it just shoots ground targets. Others, if it's pointing straight forward, it is also able to shoot the goals overhead.

-  Attacking the X-Bow is similar to attack Cannon or Archer tower. But be careful because the X-Bow has a longer range (and more powerful) can kill quickly so many units. It should to use high-health forces as Giant or PEKKA to deflect X-Bow and then use some small groups as Barbarian or Archer to attack and destroy it.

Important Tips:

- Players can know the X-Bow's opponents have been loaded fully or not. It still cannot know exactly how much of Elixir left but all players can recognize when it runs out of the X-Bow arrows. When the X-Bow is loaded, it will appear 1 small box containing small Elixir bolts. An X-Bow doesn’t be charged, it will lack the boxes and wires.

- Because players can also know whether X-Bow only shoot ground targets or air targets so if the X-Bow shoots ground targets only, it’s better to use of air forces to destroy it.

- When run out of narrows, XBow will completely useless and cannot shoot, but you still must to destroy it to 100% clear. Furthermore, if XBow haven’t destroyed yet, the attacking armies (like Giant, Balloon, Hog Rider, and Golem) will still regards it as objective if it is near them than the other active defense.
