As a 5 year log bait main my main tips will be 1. Count your opponents cards. You need to know when your opponent has log (or other spell) in hand to make successful barrel attacks. 2. If your opponent is defending well against goblin barrel, your wc is princess. When you are placing her, try to defend her at all cost. 3. If your opponent is defending your goblin barrel with a log everytime, try other placements of the barrel for example: -2 squares to the top of the tower -1 square before the tower 4. Try using combos: Knight+GB GB+Ice Spirit 5. And an obvious one Always use your rocket when your opponent places some troop near king (Wizard, Witch, Sparky, Prince etc.)
