Solution to Lightning Sniping Resources [Tesla Update]

So teslas basically shoot electricity out at units right? Well then they should also attract electricity. So what I am suggesting here is that teslas are given the ability to soak up damage from lightning spells up to 2-3 squares away from where they are.


I've given this some thought and came to the conclusion that allowing teslas to soak up all of the damage would be unfair, especially at any level. So below we have how much % each teslas would soak up of the total damage of the spell


Levels 1 - 3: 20% (Maybe make it so only lvl 3 and up can do it?)
Level 4: 30%
Level 5: 40%
Level 6: 50%
Level 7: 70%
Level 8: 85%


Q&A


Q: Will a teslas thats still hidden soak up damage?
A: Not right away, it will pop up after the first strike hits and soak damage from then on.


Q: Will the teslas still take damage from the strikes?
A: No, they will not take damage or give extra damage. (Can be changed)


If you have a question please post below and I will try and answer it, all suggestions & criticism welcome. Personally I do not care about people who use lightning strikes as a way to snipe loot but I feel this is a great idea & can be used in many different ways.

i agree with this idea, also, supercell already knows that some players want this idea:

Defensive Structure Related:
* Add hidden tesla trigger radius circle (green perhaps)
* Leave attack range circle on upgrading defensive building - to better plan when it's ready
* Modify ammo to include variables: ex: every 5th cannon shot is a freeze ball, or 7th A.Tower projectile is a fire arrow, wiz towers alternate different spells. Different shots carry different attributes, whether slow, fire damage, extra damage to certain troops, etc.
* Allow hidden tesla to absorb some/all lightning spell damage if revealed
* Add an x-bow loaded with dark elixir or "Dark X-Bow"
* Add "spires" which add on to defenses or provide an area effect to increase stats

* Add ability to upgrade multiple walls at once (like rows)

please read the stickies before posting.
your stats are good, 85% is a bit high but upgrading a tesla level 8 is costly so it kinda makes sense
