Simple Lightning Spell Solution

Why did SC make lightning spells? I'm quite sure it was to take out defences or Clan Castle troops. For example, a high level mortar or wizard tower, or an air defence. Or a bunch of archers that keep mowing down your troops from behind a wall, and your troops ignore all other buildimngs and attack that wall.

Don't tell me it was so that people could steal DE, because DE wasn't around when lightning spells were made.

So, we've estabilished the point of lightning spells is to take out defences and troops. Some people use them to take ouy builders' huts as well, so we'll add that in.

Why not halve the damage and make it do 2x damage to defences, troops and passive buildings?

I'd prefer it if you didn't post if:
1. You are one of the scum who take our hard-earned DE by tapping on a lightning spell icon and tapping a few times on our storage, and don't want to have to attack using skill or give the opponent a chance.
2. You want to tell us that 2k DE is easy to get back, because you have very little work and can attack several times a day.

Most de stealers attack then use the lightning spell

Firstly, that's irrelevant, as they still lightning DE.

Secondly, in my experience, most do not attack first.

Actually no, they don't. Zappers, (The common name for DE stealers) just drop lightning spells without placing any troops.

Mr. H's idea is actually very close to my own, but we have separate perspectives on which damage stats or hitpoints should be changed.

I actually think that this is a better solution than mine, because it would probably be easier and simpler foor supercell to implement.

Nice tweak Mr. H

Theres no option for "This will just make lightning on defense better, and still have storages getting zapped"

I don't see why people get so butthurt over that. Just revenge them and get your stuff back or get elixr and gold in exchange.

Actually, it would cut in half (or into 1/3) the amount of DE that zappers could harvest from a strike. That means that instead of harvesting 1,500 DE, they would only get 500 DE. I think that this would greatly reduce the number of zappers, as they would realize that they could much more easily (And Cheaply) harvest much more dark elixir by attacking using troops and strategy.

The solution Mr. H is suggesting actually does make much more sense than just leaving the issue as it is.

2 times damage to defenses is too much. A wizard tower or mortar can be taken out with 1 lightning spell. Take them all out(but 1) and deploy witches, which will usually result in a 3 star. It will be very unlikely to get a 1 or 2 star. High level players will complain greatly. Even though it might be used for defenses, it shouldn't be this powerful. I don't think this is the correct solution anyways. Besides, you must be zapped a lot. It's part of the game, and its needed for town hall 7 so they can get the barb king. If people don't like zappers, move up to 2000+ and you will almost never get zapped. If you do, then you can usually find a base with 2k de within a few searches. I'd say this is part of the game and people need to deal with it.

Ah Now I see, It said cut in halve. I missed that part. But still, Most of the time I used lightning to take out a barracks or something to get 50%. This would ruin a entire other side of lightning. JUst make it do 1/2 Damage to resources.

WOW! In the last update they reduced the loot bonus JUST to deal with zappers....and people are still complaining! Does this say anything about the state of the forums?

P.S. No, I do not zap DE, but I find it ridiculous that you are limiting replies to only non-zappers. If this were implemented it would apply to everyone, so everyone should get a say.
