The bomb

Is the damage on the bomb too low to serve any purpose or is it just me? The bomb should be scattered around your village to deter attackers. I guess you could cluster the bombs up to do damage, but the damage still isn't great. (6 bombs does less damage than a single Great Bomb).

The description on the bomb is "Nothing says 'STAY OUT' quite like a good old-fashioned hidden bomb". But a single bomb does hardly do anything ...

Why was the name changed to just 'Bomb'? It was previously called 'Hidden Bomb'.

When upgrading a defense you are shown what the next level of said structure will look like, but on the bomb (and all other traps) it keeps showing the level 1 appearance.

TLDR; What is the purpose of the bomb?

Two level 4 bombs placed close together + pack of 10-20 archers = Graves + ghosts

Of course bombs don't do anything much to golems, heroes, pekkas and high HP troops in general.
It's for em tiny troops that they are useful.
Mostly in clusters of 2 or 3, in between defenses/around important storages.

I agree.
About the only purpose I found for it is to deter barchers in champ. 1 bomb does enouh damage to an archer, that the archer towers will kill them in one shot.

i use my bombs on the 3-4 "free" buildings i have at the corners of my base always funny to watch the player who at 45% drops his last 4 remaining archers on the 4 corners off my base hoping for the 1 star save only to see them blown up or pushed into the path of my defensive buildings

Two bombs side-by-side = dead archers

Keep two bombs by the storages to protect from barch/goblins, and if only one bomb gets em, they are at least 1-shot-able by a wizard tower.
