It is no wonder that someone who thinks the game requires no skill whatsoever champions the lightning spell.

Dumping lightning spells on dark elixir is worthy of contempt.

Lightning requires you to master your defense, not offense. Who's the champion you speak of?

Ahh right, so masters of defence know how to protect their one de storage from lightning. I will have have to master defence :rolleyes:

Champion is a verb in this context.

Growler...I'm not championing the lightening spell per se
I use it on clan castle troops when they emerge... I raid for de like most people.

I use rage spells more than anything else followed by healer spells.

But there is no true skill to tapping a screen. :)

Unfair cuz there is no way to counter it and there is no skill to using it. I'm not saying that spells are unfair just saying using the same spell multiple times in the same spot is unfair. At least make it so you must have a troop in the area to use it or something.

You show your ignorance when you say this game takes no skill. You may play with no skill but you will not get very far unless you got lots of money to spend.

Again what skills have you mastered, you still have not answered my question but posed one back.
How am I ignorant because I believe that you have developed no skill in tapping a screen.
How do you equate money with getting far... How far are you... I have not assumed you will not get far. A child can get to a decent level just raiding where is easy.
As I said it does not take skill to tap a screen and touch upgrade ....

I never once defended its use to steal DE and I raid using rage spells and troops. So where's your argument there then. I just said stop whining

Now of someone raids me with three lightening spells I don't shout unfair, I brew two and a rage. Lvl5 barbs and giants and I destroy their base after using lightening on the DE just to show I can. Then I 3 star them.

Yes there is.

Timing, choice of troops and placement of troops are skills. You may de♥♥♥♥ate them because you are tapping a screen, but that does not mean that they do not require skill.

Edit: Good grief, the ridiculous censor has infected the forum as well.

Just a few replies:

Media, I called you an idiot because you refuse to understand that just because a newbie may not know how to use something, that fact has no bearing on how much "skill" it requires or whether it is balanced or not.

Pingfao, before you try to "mirror" my post in a desparate attempt to discredit what I said, think about the effect my suggestion would have on a hidden telsa. From your post, you obviously think that this would make it overpowered. In my opinion, it just gives the defender the option to sacrifice one hidden telsa to defend something from lightning. When someone is dropping a lightning jar, it would usually be obvious if there were a blatant spot for a telsa right next to it, so the attacker will rarely drop the spell here. As a downside, the defender is missing a telsa from somewhere important because he's got it "married" to a dark elixir storage somewhere else.

The "skill" would come in to play here by learning when or when not to deploy your lightning spell, and how best to position your telsa to defend the object you want but still have it serve a reasonable defensive function against normal attacks. It's really a great trade off, but a new "defensive item" like the air traps or whatever would serve just as much purpose. I just assumed since they tied Telsa's to Pekkas based on how lightning is "supposed" to behave, that this change would make sense along those same lines.

Also, as further proof that you donks wouldn't know a balance issue if you fell over, Supercell has clearly stated in their Sticky in the Improvements thread that they would not ever want to implement any type of system where you can exchange one resource for another. A lightning bottle is exactly that. You now have a way to exchange 20k gold for Elixir or Dark Elixir, your choice. Since they seem to be against this concept, you'd think they wouldn't be so shortsighted as to throw out a blanket statement of "spells probably won't be changing". Gotta love a good ole contradiction.

Do I get a vacation now for speaking the truth?

Let's battle...

I always do this, I fact 30 mins ago 3 lightning spells rained down and I recieved 600 DE :)
