In my opinion, the Giants are currently the best troops in Clash of Clans for many reasons. One reason is that giants can play the tank role better than barbarians because they have much higher health and are therefore less vulnerable to attack from mortar splashes and mage towers. They are also effective on the map because they prioritize targeting a defensive building, which means that by using Giants you can focus on neutralizing the enemy’s defensive power as quickly as possible. Additionally, Giants are also known for their excellent distraction and shock absorbing uses for their comrades.

An effective raid strategy can be used using a combination of few Giants and many Archers. First, deploy Giants to distract the focus of attack from all defensive buildings, then quickly drop the Archers near the attacking tower to destroy them. This strategy, when used correctly, can easily wipe out a full base and ended up rewarding you with a 3-star victory.

Giants have been shown to be very useful when combined with wall breakers and goblins. This strategy works very well when used on a heavily fortified base with many available resources. First, like the previous tactic, set up Giants to distract all defensive buildings, and then drop the wall breakers near the column of walls you want to break. You just have to make sure the defensive towers in the vicinity have their focus on the Giants because the wall breakers are very fragile. Once the walls have been broken, quickly unleash all offensive units like Barbarians or Archers to destroy the defensive towers and Goblins to steal the resources.

There is also another famous raid strategy that uses a combination of many giants and 2 healers. This strategy will work on almost all types of bases. Basically you just need to spam all the Giants you have on the map, preferably close to each other, and then when the Giants start to focus on the adjacent defensive building, you deploy the 2 healers about 5 squares behind the group of Giants This strategy works because most of the time the 2 healers will heal all damage done to the group of Giants in front of them. Given enough time, those giants could wipe out a well-fortified enemy base with just a few casualties. However, you must be careful when employing this strategy because an Air Defense can fire 2 shots at your healing unit from afar and also be careful of spring traps that could kill your Giants in an instant.
