What Do Bats Do?
Bats deploys 5 flying units at once for a very low Elixir cost, each able to target both ground and air. Individually they're extremely fragile, but their combined damage output is high relative to how cheap the card is, making them an efficient way to punish a lone defender.
Their low hitpoints mean anything with area damage removes the entire swarm at once, so their value depends heavily on catching an opponent without a splash answer ready.
Where Bats Fit
Bats work well as a cheap defensive answer to medium-HP troops, or as a fast, low-cost addition to a push, since their Elixir cost is low enough to fit alongside almost anything without disrupting a deck's cycle.
How to Counter Bats
Splash damage is by far the cleanest answer - Wizard, Baby Dragon, Valkyrie, or nearly any area-damage spell wipes out the entire swarm in one hit, since all 5 units share very low hitpoints and stand close together.
