Question: If a unit triggers a Seeking Air Mine, then gets shot down by an Air Defense before the SAM hits... will the SAM pick a new target?
I'm planning on attacking a war base with Dragons/Balloons where SAM locations are known. The SAMs are almost on top of ADs, I was hoping to trigger each SAM with a single Balloon and prevent Dragons from eating the damage.
Thanks!
Yes I've seen some cases where SAMS were triggered and the unit that triggered them was shot down so they targeted another troop, and yes it's recommended to trigger all those sams with a single balloon :)
Yes if the AD shoots it down first, the SAM will re-target to the next closest target, however it does not have to be in its range. its been seen that Minions can trigger a Air Bomb then die, then the Air bomb will travel all the way across the map to hit a healer or somethingQuote:

Follow up question: If there are no more targets, will the SAM stay active or explode harmlessly?
From the very beginning I can drop a Balloon on top of each SAM and the local AD for each will likely blow up the Balloon before the SAMs explode. I could wait to deploy the Dragons after the SAMs disappear (if they do at all).
I assume they explode harmlessly, however the time before it detonates is unknown. Also, additionally, I would assume that since there are no more targets, it would explode where the loon died as it target that and it was the only target on the battlefieldQuote:
