Jump spell delay

Troops take too long to attack after jumping over a wall. This is especially annoying with the super goblins. They take around a few seconds to jump over the wall and then some more time to start attacking their targets. Maybe like reduce the delay and make them attack the target like they would normally do after they jump over the wall.

I don't think that it is causing any trouble in the game with people still 3 starring even with the use of jump spell right now.

use Earthquake if you don't want the delay

Don't think reducing the time delay will affect those attacks in any way. It's only farming with
super goblins that's affected since jumping over a wall near the outside of the base takes a significant amount off its cloak.
As for the earthquake, it costs dark elixir and that's what I'm farming for as most people are.

yes, and that's the advantage of Earthquake, you don't need to "jump"

Jump - Cost 2 storage and elixir

Earthquake - Cost 4 storage and DE

and you just can't blame JUMP spell ain't working like Earthquake, it's made it that way

and you could simply use more goblin, use freeze or rage, cost elixir

and Super Goblin is BrainDead enough LuLz

The delay is just one of the aspects about jump that make it different from EQ. If you hate it so much, just use EQ instead.

I'm not talking about the delay before jumping. Why is there a delay after?
And it's more like two delays after (one after landing and the other right before attacking).

Yeah, I would bring 2 earthquakes in the factory and 2 in the cc, it also has a much better radius than jump. Oh and jump is only temporary.

Let's say you are the one jumping. After jumping a wall, you would probably want half a second to catch your breath and regain your balence right? Therefore, it makes sense that there is a delay after jumping. On the other hand, the EQ spell, destroys the wall, and along with it, the need to jump, so there is no delay there.

The delay and smaller radius is just a tradeoff when using a spell with less housing space.

I agree with the lag immediately after jumping. But I definitely wouldn't do that and then walk two steps and stop to catch my breath again. Even if it's just that it would be fine. But it jumps, stops for a bit, runs up to a storage and then takes another few seconds admiring it.

Not too sure, but I'm pretty sure that's the targeting feature, the one where troops decide which building to go after.

Agree!

I use Jumps regularly. Just completed an attack where I used two Jumps. Watched replay in slo-mo, saw no hesitation by the troops. Let me explain what people may be seeing ….

All troops can hesitate for next target selection (Rule of three). It becomes more noticeable as a base thins out. If more targets are within their range, next target acquisition is fast. When they have to hunt next target and path to get within range, hesitation can occur. Use a Jump when they have already target that object on the other side of the wall, and they are trying to get to it, no hesitation. Goblin, no targets in range, jump wall, now which targets are in range?

What I noticed is that most tend to use Earthquakes at the beginning of an attack, with lots of targets available in range, instantaneous target acquisition. Using Jump at the onset, I get the same identical results as EQs.

But.. I have seen people try Jumps later in battle, on a thinner base (like try to reach the TH). If you use EQs under those same identical circumstances (no targets within range), you can also see hesitation for target selection.

And yes, I see where Jump is not a good choice for Gobs. They are a melee troop, must be directly ontop a target to be "within range". Additionally, they only target loot sources. So they have to look at "3 closest stores" and compute paths. Use EQ and all paths are open and known. Use a Jump and as soon as they jump, target choices may now be different.
