3. What kind of units should i build inside the cage?
This depends of what kind of especial/legendary build you want to counter. There are three types of units to build inside the cage:
1) Cheap units (in general the most used type of unit).
Good side: few gold cost and fast spawn time
Bad side: can feed the enemy.
Example of units: Footman, wolf, satyr, zombie, murlocs, spiders, grunt.
2) Resistant units
Good side: Harder to die and will be aimed more times.
Bad side: Cost more gold and have a bigger spawn time
Example of units: Banshe, Spellbreaker Kodo, Defender, Dryad
3) Healing units
Good side: Harder to die and will be aimed more times.
Bad side: Cost more gold and have a bigger spawn time
Example of units: Sorceress, crusader, furbolg and dryad.
Below has table with counter suggestions for each type of special builds:

note: Obelisk of Light only hit the units inside the cage if the fog of war is disable or if something give vision the the enemy (example: converted unit or erased tentacles). Because the Ray of Light of the Obelisk of Light hit only visible units.Back to Top (first post).

4. There is some build that can help to improve my cage?
Yes. There are two options:
1) The naga builder can use the Coral Statue to keep healing all units inside the cage. That will deny feed to the enemy and will have more units to be aimed.
2) In some situatuions you can also use a tower to protect your cage and get feed.
When the enemy is using the Naga build oracle of sirens (abiliy: control enemy).
When the enemy is using the Corrupted build Forgotten One (ability tentacle prison).
When the enemy is using the Undead build Skull Pile (ability: Raise Dead) and is spaming a lot of skeletons.Back to Top (first post).

5. When should I start to make a cage?
As soon has possible. Don't way until the enemy make special builds to start a cage. Start to build it aways when you can. You need to be ready to use it all the time. If you delay it, this can cost the victory of the battle.Back to Top (first post).

6. The cage may have another function?
The cage can be also used has a "tower" to defend the base. You need pick a good place to make the cage and set the rally point to trap units with good attack range. Below have two pictures showing how the cage can be used for this purpose:

Using water elementals for caging purposes will suck early but once you have linker, it's a great way to crank up ele buildings count and they heal each other upon death. Best of both worlds, OP cage on par with defenders.

A Cheap and fast way to cage,you can do it with your normal start buildings. I caged the spiders. Its a different way to cage but good vs a fast HEX etc...
The rally point what you can see on the picture is from the spiders,so they run into the cage
