What is the role of the Giant in Clash of Clans?

The Giant in "Clash of Clans" serves a strategic role as a frontline tank unit that prioritizes defensive structures such as cannons and towers. Due to its considerable hit points, the Giant is effectively utilized to absorb damage from these defenses, thereby protecting more vulnerable units behind it. With their focus on attacking defenses first, Giants allow players to create openings in the enemy base’s defenses, making way for other troops to enter and deal significant damage without being immediately targeted by defensive fortifications. While they move relatively slowly and inflict moderate damage, their ability to sustain heavy fire makes them indispensable for ground-based assault strategies, especially during the initial phases of an attack.
