I honestly have stopped bothering to scout for a low hero in 10's, as half the time the level of the hero doesn't make a whole lot of difference in losses. It is, after all, a level 10 barb city. You'd have to expect a higher-stat hero in there. If not, well lucky you.


Anyhow, I only suffer 4.5k-5.7k loss on the archers. Lower heroes, like our good friends have said, have their losses flucutate because they sometimes can't wipe everything out and power through the defending hero's intel with their attack power...

In this case, wait until your hero is at least 150 att, and also send more layers to prevent these losses. If you positively have to send a low-level hero, use a war ensign and use the extra troops for layers.
