Ballistas vs Rams to Destroy Walls

[GeneralStitch]

Rams work against walls and ballistas work to "unlevel" the defenders buildings. Ex. 4 rams vs. lvl 1 wall makes wall lvl. 0 with possible losses to rams, but 1 ram and 1 ballista vs. lvl 1 wall and lvl 1 town hall might leave the defender with lvl 1 wall and no town hall. Granted I don't know if you can bring the town hall to lvl 0 or not, but it was just an example.

Ok, but ballistas can attack walls as well
So the question was - what is better to attack walls - rams or ballistas?

[Karl302]

Ive always sent both to attack walls just in case. Problem solved😂

Well hey, actually if I had to choose one against wall its rams since rams always destroy walls before your troops start attacking and ballistas destroy their target while the troops are attacking therefore you'll lose less troops if wall was already destroyed!! Hope this helps!

Rams break walls down much faster, however, you suffer more losses for rams. Ballistae deal less damage, but more will survive. It depends on your situation, if you want to take a wall down quickly and don't mind the losses go for rams. But if you wish to save up on some resources go for ballistae.

I guess a followon is: are rams good (useful) in support against rams incoming? Same for ballistas, it appears they are more effective than other troop types in game?

The rams are more effective to knock down walls. For as already said, are especially for this. Besides, men cost less and are cheaper and can do more troops. If I were you, would rams.
