I'd be curious to hear back from SC if it was intended for them to trigger GB's but not be affected by them.
I'm really not sure if I feel they should or shouldn't. I could easily make arguments for both sides of it, but just wondered if it was intended or not.
(also, make map bigger please)
That would be annoying for the defender, a minion detonating a giant bomb and doing literally nothing lol.
They shouldn't trigger them, they are air troops.
It's a decent question, I'll have to ask the team though.Quote:

Exactly, that is one argument against it. But that is what is happening now according to the Wiki:Quote:

- Minions can trigger Giant Bombs even though they will not be affected by them!"
That makes sense to me since they are actually touching the spring trap. The minions however are merely flying over the giant bomb.Quote:

True. Dragons/Balloons/Healers don't set them off though correct - I haven't met Big Bombs in quite some time though.Quote:

I agree with the majority, it would make no sense that an air troop would trigger a ground defense like a bomb. especially since no other air troopz have ever triggered anything on the ground that i know of trap wise.
if this is goin on i would suspect it was a glitch that will be fixed, then again...beware the ninjas! haha
I hate giant bombs...i'd rather give my looter the 50k gold. I also hate seeking air mines....i'd rather my looter have the 600DE
Well, spring traps don't work on PEKKA's, but they still trigger them because they come in contact- that makes sense (they don't work because they are too heavy)Quote:

Maybe the minions' wings are so small that they are only a couple of feet off the ground. :rolleyes:Quote:

They cán get launched though, I've seen it happen countless times, where one front row goblin activates the trap and the mid-horde gets launched.Quote:
