What Does Miner Do?

Miner is a ground-only melee troop with one defining trait: he can be deployed anywhere on the map, including directly next to the enemy tower, since he burrows underground to get there instead of walking across the arena.

That deployment flexibility means he can't be intercepted on the way in the way a normal troop can - the only chance to answer him is once he's already surfaced.

Where Miner Fits

He's a reliable chip-damage and cycle card, often used to consistently poke a tower turn after turn, or to soften up a target that a bigger push will follow up on.

How to Counter Miner

Since he can't be stopped en route, having a cheap defender ready near the tower to trade with him immediately after he surfaces is the most reliable answer.
