What Do Elite Barbarians Do?
Elite Barbarians deploys 2 ground-only melee troops, each hitting much harder than a regular Barbarian, though with fewer bodies than the standard 5-unit version.
Their combined damage output is severe against anything that isn't ready for it, but with only 2 units standing close together, they're far easier to catch with area damage than the larger Barbarians swarm.
Where Elite Barbarians Fit
They work as a strong defensive punish against unprepared pushes, and can also be deployed offensively for a fast, heavy counterattack once the opponent's board is clear.
How to Counter Elite Barbarians
Splash damage is the cleanest answer, since both units stand close together and share the same hit radius. A well-placed defensive building can also tank their combined hits safely.
