*'''Summary'''
  
−
**The Giant is the third [[Army|troop]] unlocked in the [[Barracks]].
  
−
**The Giant’s first target is [[Defensive Buildings|defenses]], making them an ideal [[Army|troop]] to deploy to get rid of defenses fast. However, due to their low attack damage they are better used in large groups.
  
−
**{{PreferredTarget|Defenses}}

−
*'''Offensive Strategy'''
  
−
**A good [[raids|raiding]] strategy is to fill your {{H|Army Camp}} with Giants and [[Archer]]s; together they can easily wipe out a base. Use the Giants to distract all the [[Defensive Buildings]] while the [[Archer]]s take everything down.
  
−
**At the beginning of a [[Raids|Raid]], send in several Giants closest to the [[Mortar|Mortar(s)]]/[[Wizard Tower|Wizard Tower(s)]]. As soon as the [[Mortar]] hits the Giants, send in the necessary number of [[Wall Breaker]]s to help the Giants break through the [[walls]]. Once the [[Mortar|Mortar(s)]] and [[Wizard Tower|Wizard Tower(s)]] are destroyed, you can send in swarms of lower hit point [[Army|Troops]] such as [[Goblin]]s and [[Archer]]s. If you are up for a trophy raid and have a successive amount of [[Elixir]], you can send a group of [[Wizard]]s just as soon as the defenses start attacking your giants. This strategy is helpful for bases [[Town Hall]] 5-7, especially in wars.
  
−
**Giants have a lot of health but are slow and have low attack power, so use them in groups.
  
−
**Giants are weak against many [[Defensive Buildings|defenses]] grouped together.
  
−
**You can use Giants as a cheap meat shield while deploying other, higher damaging [[Army|troops]] to destroy buildings.
  
−
**Another strategy is to send many Giants with one or more [[Healer]]s. Be wary of [[Air Defense]]s and other anti-air towers, however, as [[Healer]]s are very weak and have many vulnerabilities. To counter this it is recommended to place a Giant and [[Wall Breaker]]s near an [[Air Defense]] on the outside to clear the way for [[Healer]]s. 
  
−
**In general, Giants make better distracting [[Army|troops]] than [[Barbarian]]s due to their much higher health. Because of this they are less vulnerable to [[Mortar]] fire and [[Wizard Tower|other splash damage]], and are much harder to kill.
  
−
**Giants ignore defensive [[Army|troops]] ([[Clan Castle]] [[Army|Troops]], skeletons from [[Skeleton Trap]]s, [[Barbarian King]] and [[Archer Queen]]) as long as there is still a visible Defensive Building on the base. Be sure to eliminate defensive [[Army|troops]] to protect Giants.
  
−
*'''Defensive Strategy'''
  
−
**Giants can be especially susceptible to {{H|Spring Trap}}s due to the predictable nature of their AI. Use this to your advantage and place strategic gaps in your {{H|Walls}} with [[Defensive Buildings|defensive structures]] behind them, and fill the gaps with one or more {{H|Spring Trap}}s.
  
−
**Giants are reasonably good defensive [[Clan Castle]] [[Army|Troops]], as their high health means that multiple offensive units will have to be dispatched to deal with them (a [[Lightning Spell]] will not be sufficient). They will also take a relatively long time to kill, delaying the enemy attack. However, the problem with using giants as [[Clan Castle]] [[Army|Troops]] is that when they come out to defend, they take up five spaces. This means that if the enemy has enough [[Army|troops]] to one hit a giant, it will be more efficient to use five [[Barbarian]]s, as the enemy [[Army|troops]] will have to reload. As such, it will take five times as long.
  
−
**A group of [[Mortar]]s surrounded by other defenses can spam out a group of Giant's health is seconds. Although sometimes [[Healing Spell]]s can be used to add the lost health from the Mortars. If the attacker provides [[Wizard]]s, [[Goblin]]s or [[Archer]]s, a [[Mortar]] can handle that in ease.

**The Giant's main [[Barracks]] image changed substantially as part of the "Witch" update (29 July 2013). However, this change did not affect the look of the in-game unit; when viewed in {{H|Army Camp}}s or in battle, the Giant still has the same look as it did prior to the update.
  
−
**When the Giant attacks a building, a puff of smoke rises from the target.
  
−
**The Giant is the first of the two Home Village troops in the game that can be upgraded to level 8, highest in the [[Laboratory]]. The second is the [[Wizard]].
  
−
**Since the 2014 Winter Update, the Giant is unlocked at [[Barracks]] level 3 instead of level 4. In addition, this update reduced the cost to train Giants of levels 1-5 by 250 elixir.
  
−
**Of all the Elixir troops, it is the one that deals the least DPS per housing space, with only 11.4 DPS per housing space at max level.
  
−
**On 11/8/17, low-level Giants could be seen working on buildings as temporary builders, having replaced the [[Barbarian]]s which in turn replaced the [[Builder]]s at their job following the latter's departure. In addition to this, when a [[Builder's Hut]] was destroyed in battle, a defensive level 1 Giant came out. A week later, on 18th August 2017, the Giants' role as the Builders was taken over by the [[Witch]]es.
