Skeleton Traps

Recently I have had a lot of talk in my clan about how overpowered the new skeleton trap update is, and honestly it is ridiculous. Before this update a normal fairly high level attack the players troops would stop whatever they're doing and go straight to the opponents heroes, and/or clan castle troops. This could be very frustrating because sometimes heroes could be literally on top of the town hall and not even turn to attack it until all the opponents heroes/cc troops are gone.

For the most part this was acceptable in clash of clans, it was apart of the game. But this new update changed everything, instead of 2 heroes and up to 35 spaces in the clan castle, there is now an added 12 troops (maxed skeleton traps) that your troops must take out. It is so overpowered, all you have to do is place them all on the inside near the cc and bam, your chances of getting that town hall have immediately dropped significantly.

I think this update would have been perfectly understandable and even a nice part of the game, if your troops did not target them before anything else.

Tell me what you think

I minor annoyance at most. To be honest most raids I hardly notice them. Not overpowered in the slightest.

Exactly... And besides, everyone is on equal ground. You get the same back for defense. IMO it's quite suitable seeing that attacking is much more powerful than defense anyway. They do little to nothing to giants, and are taken out easily by minor troops.

It's just a minor threat, can be dealt with easily.

This has been my experience also. They barely affect my troops in a raid and barely affect an attacker when my base gets raided.

They have such few hps. They pose the biggest threat in war against hogs...that's about it.

(Only once did these skeletons mess up my raid: I cleaned out the buildings and sent in wiz after giants; the wiz followed my wiz until one of the archers on the side buildings activated skeletons and all of a sudden the platoon of wiz decided to 180 and follow them. After killing them, the wiz proceeded to kill buildings on the outskirt and forgoing the storage in the center. Quite a failure it was. :( )

I do know that skeleton traps can screw up a raid, so i agree with you. But I think it was for the better, you could literally roll your face on the screen with gowipe and get 2 stars, the skeleton traps I think tilted the balance of defense and attack a little more to equality.

Been gowiping in cw pre and post update and my result is always the same. Didnt even bother about them when i am deploying my troops, all i care is cc troops and heroes.

Cheers. 😁

Troll post? :p



Anyways the only real troops that would severly suffer are:
1. Giants without support
2. Hogs
3. And balloons
4. Golems without support (but they do have killer HP)

And that's it :p

I mean...... They are puny skeletons........

They ruined 2 very important Gowiwipe attacks in war. Along with 4 level 7 hidden teslas they can distract the pekkas and while the pekkas are bothering with them they are killed by the teslas
