Option to turn the Giga-Tesla On/Off

With the current state of the game where defense is pretty meaningless and upgrading defenses has a very little say in the outcome of an attack, I have noticed that the giga tesla (I have a maxed Giga-Tesla) is easily overwhelmed by bowlers Valkyries and miners under heal. On the other hand the Giga-Tesla acts like a magnet to troops targeting defenses especially balloons.

When the game was released and during the couple of years that followed, the Townhall was a little bit like the king in a chess game and getting the Townhall needed some strategy, a correct funnel, some skill to avoid the troops from turning around the village etc. today I am often attacked by a lavaloon SPAM that destroys most buildings and defenses around the Townhall and get the easy one star. Then wen all troops are dead the wrecker full of balloons is released alone with a rage spell over the Townhall to get an easy scond star and the Townhall. No funnel, no strategy no skill.

I have many lavaloon defenses that could have ended with only one star if that damned Giga-Tesla thingy didn’t activate .

So why not giving people the option to turn that balloon magnet on and off? Something similar to the heroes or clan castle which can be put to sleep. Those who think that the Giga Tesla is a super great defense will turn it On and those who think that it makes the Townhall and easy target to balloons, hogs etc. without giving any real advantage against bowlers, miners or Valkyries will have the option to turn it off.

Personally if I had the option and as long as the state of the game remains as it is now (ridiculous defenses) I would always turn the giga Tesla off.

I have many 1* defenses when the giga Tesla activated and literally erased the troops.

Could you show us your base, maybe we can give a hint or two about what to change :)

That GT and in particular the bomb is a killer for loon attacks if the attacker fails to tomb through it.

Some of those 1 stars may turn into 3 stars if the GT was turned off....

Then you keep it activated. Simple.

Sounds fair enough to me, OP.

By the way, is your base a type of symmetrical ring base with a moat around it? I confess that I'm a spam lalooner and I use this "loon magnet" property of the gtesla to my advantage sometimes.

If you could turn it off they could just use valks.

I have had so much more defensive wins lately. It does it's job.

OP I think what you are seeing is actually the result of siege machines still being relatively new. Quite a few players out there still haven’t found the best ways to use them with their attacks, so tend to do some odd things sometimes with some odd troops for the job, or use it but don’t get so much out of it as they could. That will change, and is changing pretty fast as people learn and try new things. Turning off the giga tesla is really just going without one of your strongest defences active - I can see no rationale for that and think it would be a positive disadvatage to almost everyone a little down the track when most attackers have a firmer grip on siege machine use.

The basic fact at the root of this is that the meta has changed: we now have something that operates as a troop transport to the town hall. That’s something everyone needs adapt to, as attackers and as defenders. Switching the giga tesla off would just get them sending some other troop there

while attacking lvl5 giga, all loons die instantly (that's a pain for me when warden is under upgrade & can't save loons with eternal tome)
it may'be easier to 2* & also the wrecker can take our loons easily to th even if it's kept alone at core

As a th 12, when i raid with laloons missing my queen and/or warden, i prefer attackings th 12s over th11s, due to the fact that it is always a secured th destruction, guarenteeing me the 1 star atleast.
I understand ur point OP. but i dont really care about my defence, i just focus on my attacks. and yes the giga tesla made laloon attacks more easier to 2 star.

Hello team!

I think the damage that the 12th-century city hall causes when it is destroyed should not be just an explosion.

1- What damage does it cause when the town hall is attacked by air? Any.

2-What happens when it is destroyed from a moderate distance? Nothing, it does not cause any harm because there are no troops near it.

My idea is the following one, to the city council to destroy itself should make the explosion and at the same time leave an expansive wave that reaches all the space of the village. This wave would leave all the troops motionless for a few seconds and stop the attacks a bit. So it would be scary to take down a 12th-level town hall.

Something that should be consiered, for shore. Now is a lot easyer to get 2 stars. I am a user of the loon lava straegy, and is really hard to me to get my heroes to the TH without being distracted by something else (when i attack somebody wich is under TH12). So now is even more easyer to get 2 stars, and your giga tesla just improves your attackers attack rather then slwoing it.
