Summary

The Golem is the fourth Dark Elixir Troop unlocked once the Dark Barracks is upgraded to level 4. He is a slow defense-targeting ground troop with low damage but massive hitpoints. When the Golem is defeated, he spawns two, three, or four Golemites (depending on the Golem's level) which keep fighting, each carrying 1/5th of the Golem's stats. These Golemites inflict area damage when they are destroyed just like their parent troop, however they attack slower than their parent troop.

These Golemites inflict area damage when they are destroyed just like their parent troop, however they attack slower than their parent troop.
Golems prioritize defensive structures above all other targets, and will bypass all other types of enemy buildings and troops while any defenses remain on the battlefield. This is true even if they are under attack by enemy Clan Castle troops, Heroes or Skeleton Trap skeletons. Note that like all troops that prioritize defenses, Golems do not consider the Clan Castle to be a defense regardless of whether or not it contains enemy troops, but do consider the activated Town Hall weapon (if any) to be defensive buildings. Once all defenses are destroyed, Golems become like any other troop with no preferred target; they will attack the nearest building to them regardless of type, and will turn and attack enemy units if they become aware of any nearby and can fight back against them. However, they will not switch targets to enemy units until their previous target was destroyed.

Strategies

A good strategy is to release Golems and wait until all splash damage defenses like Mortars , Wizard Towers and Bomb Towers fire on them and then release units like Archers , Barbarians , or Wizards .
Since Golems do little amounts of damage themselves, it is important that they are backed up by high damage-dealing troops and ranged troops, like Wizards or Witches .
Golems are not affected by Spring Traps since they take over 18 housing spaces. However, the Golemites are, since they technically take 6. This means that at level 2, Spring Traps will be able to bounce off two Golemites, while a maxed out Spring Trap will bounce off three.
This means that at level 2, Spring Traps will be able to bounce off two Golemites, while a maxed out Spring Trap will bounce off three.
It is good to level up Golems to either 8 or 14 (max level), since they will gain an extra Golemite at these levels, which will be a massive tanking boost for your army because of the extra health of the Golemites.
If possible, destroy any single target Inferno Towers as quickly as possible. Otherwise, they will wipe out your Golems easily. However, this is usually preferable to the Inferno Tower targeting a P.E.K.K.A , Barbarian King , or Archer Queen , as they tend to be much more important to the attack. A Freeze Spell can be used to temporarily disable an Inferno Tower and "reset" its damage. If the Inferno Tower is set to multiple target mode, it will be less of a threat to the Golem, but may be a nuisance to the troops protected behind him.
Golems are fundamental as the tanks of the GoWiPe, GoWiWi, and GoHo attack strategies, amongst others, whether it be for the army or the kill squad.
An attack strategy is called the Avalanche, where 4 or more Golems are paired with Wizards or Super Wizards , and the Golems can act as a good tank and distracting things such as the Eagle Artillery , while the Wizards deal all the damage. However, some Lightning Spells and Freeze Spells will still be needed to prevent the Golems from dying. Also, too much Golems can also lessen the damage done to the base.

Defensive Strategies

Golems are very high-health units, similar to Ice Hounds and Lava Hounds , that can be used to soak up heavy fire. Make sure that the Golem is in the middle or in range of most of your defenses, as he can distract attacking defenses very effectively for a considerable amount of time.
Golems are typically not found in defensive Clan Castles. They take up too much space and can do very little against enemy troops due to their low damage. However, they make potentially good distractions, especially against low health troops. Their death damage can destroy any smaller melee units attacking him, and his Golemites can do the same on a smaller scale. If a Golem has been defeated on a defense, he will not be returned to the Clan Castle even if a Golemite survives.

At level 9, the Golem's spikes change color to dark byzantium, and his body also changes to a lilac.
At level 10, the Golem's spikes change to sapphire, and his body is now a deep livid color.
At level 11, the Golem's spikes change to emerald and his body is also changed to emerald to match the level 14 Town Hall's jungle theme. His eyes also become cream-colored.
At level 12, some of the Golem's spikes change to a darker, purple color while others glow white. His body changes to cadet blue to match the level 15 Town Hall's magical theme. His eyes become dark purple.
At level 13, the Golem's purple spikes turn dark red, while his white ones now give off an orange glow. His body changes to a red wine while his eyes become yellow.
At level 14, the Golem's red spikes turn gunmetal, while the glowing orange ones become golden yellow. His body color changes into deep cobalt and his eyes are slightly dimmer.

You can have a maximum of 11 Golems at one time in a complete set of fully upgraded Army Camps . This number increases to 12 if you include 1 that can fit into a level 5 or higher Clan Castle . On the battlefield, you can clone an additional 4 Golems with four level 5 or higher Clone Spells (three from the regular spell inventory and one from a level 10 or higher Clan Castle). These total to a maximum of 16 Golems. However, this is inadvisable, since at higher Town Hall levels, since they deal too low damage, causing the attacker to time fail.

The word " Golem " occurs once in the Bible in Psalm 139:16, which uses the word " golmi ", that means "my light form", "raw" material, connoting the unfinished human being. A golem is an animated, anthropomorphic being in Jewish folklore , which is entirely created from inanimate matter, usually clay or mud. The most famous golem narrative involves Judah Loew ben Bezalel , the late 16th-century rabbi of Prague.
A Golem event lasted from UTC 8:00 14 January, 2017 through UTC 8:00 16 February, 2017, which functioned like a mini-achievement with a limited time period. Golems cost only 10% of the normal cost during these two days. Players needed to win three multiplayer battles, each with at least two Golems (Town Hall 10 and 11) or one Golem (Town Hall 8 and 9) to claim 300 Experience and 30 Gems. Players also got a chance to gain some Dark Elixir (up to 11,872 if they had level 6 Golems) by queuing just before the end of the event and un-queuing after the event ended.
The Golem was likely inspired by the Promethean from Age of Mythology , as both units are stone creatures that split in two, smaller versions of themselves once defeated.
The Golem is one of ten troops featured as a monster in the game Squad Busters . The others are the Wall Breaker , P.E.K.K.A , Minion , Lava Hound , Bowler , Baby Dragon , Ice Golem , Yeti , and Inferno Dragon . The Golem in Squad Busters resembles the level 1-2 Golem in Clash of Clans . There is also a variant of Golem called the Gem Golem , which resembles the Golem in Clash of Clans , but has Gems growing on his body and has glowing green eyes.
