Lightning v Level 6 Air Defence

Morning guys (In England :cool:)
quick question. I am going to raid a base in current war where the guy has put his air defence too close together. As a result I am going to Dragon attack and try and lightning his AD. Normally I would rage and heal with drags.
My lightning is Lv 5. Question is does anyone know if 3 combined spells will destroy both AD if they are immediately adjacent to each other or will I need 2 for each?
Thanks and merry Christmas.....(Just got my first tree...must have been good this year)

Never use a heal spell with dragons.

If you place them in one spot, no, if you place on in the middle, then see where to put the others based on health, possibly.

420 x 3 damage on 1050 hit points, if you place them correctly it'll workout.

3x lightning spells can only destroy 1 AD if they are dropped dead center of the AD. You can only hope that the splash damage help lower the hp of the adjacent AD for a faster kill for your dragons. However, if you have access to 4x lightning spells, it will be very interesting to see if dropping 2x on each AD would actually destroy both. The randomness is risky though.

Lvl 6 Balloons in your CC would be useful.

I'd say tough, but you should still get 1 AD + a weakened 2nd AD. The splash damage math on the lightning spell has worked wonkily in the past for me. :p

Try it out and let us know how it goes :D

I will give it a shot. Cant practise as you hardly ever see a base where the AD is so close together so will give it a try. I have 4 Lightnings anyway. As for heal with Dragons it works well as long as you are not depending on it to hold AD at bay. If you use it after AD is gone you can restore a whole group almost to full health if your lucky. I would normally go 3 rage, 1 heal and a freeze for dragon attack (I like to freeze CC troops to make it easier to toast them as they pass the AD).
Will let you know how it goes.

AD's have high Hp specifically for this reason. I had once taken out a Wiz Tower, two mortars and a cannon in a 2 x 2 square area by dropping three lightening spells right in the middle.

The damage was unevenly spread on each strike. So if you have 3 Lightening's you can take out 1. If you have 4, I think you will be able to take them both out - but it all depends on random luck though.

Yes, do feedback if it works. Interested to know. Thanks, and best of luck for the raid.

My lightning is also level 5, and in the war the enemy put two air defences lvl 5 corner to corner to each other, I brought 4 lightning spells zoomed in and aimed exactly in the corner, and the result was 1 air defence was destroyed but the other was left with just a tiny bit of health.

Hope it helps.

Just drop 4 in the middle of both, but two on each should have the same effect. But in the end even if they are together you should still go with rage/freeze/heal. Good luck though

Thanks mate.....that's worrying eh? I was hoping three would do the job and save the last one for cc troops! Oh well. Troops ready now so will feedback how it works later

I had the same issue one time, I went into goblin town and found a comparable ad setup and it worked. I have lvl 5 lightning as well

Try luring the CC troops onto the AD, then lightening everything in one go :D

Anything less and its dodgy.
If you really want to go with light, then yes as some1 else suggested, CC on top of AD and light both.
5 lv6 lights on 2 max ads corner to corner as Harrisman alluded to would do the job, but thats prob last time tried to use drags th10vth10.
Whoever said never heal drags, couldnt disagree more. 2 rage 1 heal is still prob easiest way for th8v8 to get big stars against decent central air defs.

are cc troops an issue for dragons?

But if youre going to use all your spells, might as well get max value out of them. Every second drags spend killing arch, they not hitting buildings.

1.) You can kill 2 of them with 4 spells in most cases if you place them correctly. 3 will not work , because lightning strikes on random places with smaller area of effect, so both will get about 2/3 or the normal damage if you place it directly on them.

2.) I have seen some cases where healing (at lvl5+) was used quite good on Dragon if you have 4 spells (3 lightning + 1 heal), but if you have 3 spells, use lighting (if only one is inside or at a high lvl) or rage (prefered for stronger enemies and if you have rage leveled high enough).
