# Troops details

Each military unit has its own priorities:

* **Swordsmen** destroy everything in their path.
* **Archers** also attack anything near them, including air targets.
* The main goals of **Giants** are defensive structures.
* **Goblins** will not attack anything other than resource buildings.
* **Bombers** are effective at destroying walls.
* **Air Balloons** aim at defensive structures.
* **Mages** will attack every target on their way on the ground and in the air from a safe distance.
* **Fairies** heal warriors, but do not work in tandem with Air Balloons.
* **Dragons** deal massive damage to both ground and air units.
