No. I was coming up with an added advantage to using this. So thought why not an air bonus.

No. I don't think the bomb is worth 50k even if it took a pekka down, but No. Clearly your a pro giant bomb user.

Yes. Placement is key. Sure one troop can set it off, but if you place it in choke points, the likelihood of this happening is low.

Yes. Being able to completely stop a ground assault is advantage enough.

Yes. The bomb is worth 50k if you are using it to protect trophies. It doesn't take a pro giant bomb user to apply common sense.

love the reply, yes is it down to placement, but admit its still overpriced for what it is, could use sevral small bombs with the same effect, for a fraction of the price.

I disagree. The blast radius of the giant bomb is much larger. Also the most small bombs you can have are 6 at 12 damage a piece. The giant bomb does 110 damage and fits in a 2x2 space.

Realistically you can buy 4 giant bombs from the spoils of a single raid or from max collectors going overnight. They are pricey sure, but not crazy so. Just don't place them in a stupid place like right outside of your walls, where a skilled attacker will send in a "disarming" troop.

The first would be, a certain amount of troops will set of the bomb so as soon as say, 10 troops step in to the radius of the bomb, it triggers the bomb, at least this way it is a little more effective, even if its 10 housing placements, so 2 giants would set it off.

The second idea i would put forward for this would be to attach some fireworks, so even though it cant be set of by flying attackers, it would still be somewhat effective against them, if set of by ground troops, and a little bit worth the 50k your paying.

Gratefully appreciate feed back, on tweaks or ideas!

I did quickly search giant bomb and nothing come up recently, sorry if this has been posted, it also was not in the sticky.

Both ideas are great and worth the wait for its update

I rare single raid, but yea, after spending 100k skipping to find the right raid, which in turn would need to be 300k in gold to cover 4 giant bombs cost, and the searching, plus did you use spells?

always good to have feed back though. And plus you got an extra few post counts ;)

trust me I'm the same but just thinking of benefits vs cost.

this is an idea not an update due to happen, I should have made it more clear at the start lol, but thank you! I don't think there is enough interest to be an actual update!

When you compare the price of everything by time your bombs are worth 50k then that price is nothing. That price is a joke. But for everyone who doesn't like them. They're now 1.5x more effective on hogz make them key to location

Lower the price and everything should become normal again.
