Need Help: My Troops Always Lose, Even With Equal Numbers (I Play Owl)

Hey everyone,

I've been struggling a lot in battles lately. Even when I have the same amount of troops as my enemies, their troops always seem to be stronger and I end up losing. It's really frustrating because I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

For context, I play as Owl. Are there specific strategies, troop compositions, or upgrades I should be focusing on to make my troops more effective? Any tips or advice would be really appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
