For early game, you should scout the enemy's side early if they indeed are albow massers, and if they are, try to harrass his economy, because an albow requires a lot of money and mana to build. Try a few archidon to take out the albows he might currently have. If the opponent gets a castle archer, make some merics and pretend to attack(or really attack) with speedy units (speartons or ninjas) to either force his miners to stop mining or to eliminate some miners, and then retreat to get healed by merics. He should get really annoyed and try to build speartons, walls (which you will destroy), and more castle archers, and try to turtle. In that case, get giants. Soon, you shall attack.
For late game(if he succeeded in making a albowtross army), you make some spellcaster units, like merics and magikill, merics to heal units and magikill for mass attacks on albowtross. Try a giant as a meat shield, or maybe a shield wall of speartons, if the enemy has some ground units also. (which they should have).
If the situation becomes desperate, try a few castle archers, and turtle up at your base (but you're basically dead at that point anyways).
I hope this helps.

Mother of god, has my strategy I posted become popular?
Regardless, I know a counter to my own strategy. HUMAN SHIELDS!!!!
Get a bunch of swordwrath (or speartons, swordwrath are better due to numbers) and control them to absorb arrows aimed at your archers.
Also, shouldn't this be in a strategy section?

My strategy was albow massing, I posted it a while ago and I noticed albow users increasing recently so I've come to a logical conclusion.

Thats much clearer.

By that time it's too late for you. Stop the mass before the mass.

You could always make two magikill, some giants, and archers, and then advance them close enough to the archers that you can hit them with the magikill without being too much at risk (maybe in line with the giants), and start killing them dead!
If they run away and they have castle archer I would work on tower spawn and even sacrificing some miners later game to make more units, especially if your opponent sacrifices a few albows to make magikills (with poison, so get a meric + cure if that happens) or whatever else they would make.
So tl;dr, magikills + archers + giants = :)

I guess you just started a trend: albow massing is the new giant massing

Woo?
Also, I just faced a guy who massed his army with half giants, half albows. It was more effective than either alone.

-_- because of albow massing i dropped from the 1490 ratings to 1360. place where most albow massers are : 1500-1390 where giant massers are: 1390-1280 (i already know how to beat giant massers but not albows :( )

The guy I faced was around 1700 and used an albow giant mix with a meric or two. Kind of sucks since albows counter swordwrath spam against giants and giants counter archers against albows.

thank you, harassing miners in very early game seems to work best
