If you do the math, you can see that this strategy is even OP against the biggest possible attack of 10 hounds. A normal hound has 150HP, and 1/3 of them will be either fire or ice - having 100HP. That means 3 traps for the normal ones and 2 traps for the special ones. You do the math: 7x3+3x2 = you only 28 traps to kill then ALL. With a cute little 30-50 trap set up you can even use it on boss mobs like deerclops. 50 traps triggered inflict 3,000hp without even having to stop and reset them. If it's a boss and you're bored just throw some gunpower or a bee mine in there too.
