skeleton trap too OP and why everyone uses air troops in champs

This annoying little trap has been the bane many attacks, stopping attackers dead in their traps staring at the screen, that a bunch of puny little skeletons stopped max level troops right in their footsteps near the brink of a victory. I know you may all have been affected by these little nuisances. I know it is nearly 3 months since the release of these things, but the reason top players, have stop using ground attacks is just due to the fact, its pure chaos, whith these new traps, redirecting troops, is just totally OP, so since ground attacks can be unpredictable now, people just choose to stick to air since, most people have their skele traps set to ground.

The point of this post is to basically to show how the skeleton trap is OP and why ground attacks are inferior to air, other may have different opinions about the skeleton trap, tell me in the section below your ideas do you think the skeleton trap is OP or is it not strong enough or a mix of both?

Well, air attacks aren't immune either.

Last night, in our clan war, one of our TH8s executed a perfect dragon funnel. His Drags were all parked in a rage spell and doing major work. Then he dropped his BK on the outside to clear some trash buildings. His BK drew out some skellies. Suddenly, his drags took off like brain damaged beagles after a rabbit. I mean, seriously, 9 dragons flew out of the core and into the corner (super fast too, thanks to the rage), all just to chase down a pack of 4 skellies.

If it had been the other clan, it would have been hilarious. As we were up by 75 stars, it was still pretty funny, but not for the guy whose dragons flew across the map, killed the skellies and then started doing work again. Unfortunately, they started working on the trash on the back side of the base, and got pounded by an air defense.

Those skellies absolutely snatched two stars out from under a perfectly executed raid.

In war one time when I was doing a normal gowipe, the skele distracted my pekkas in the core and completely made them go a complete different direction to the town hall, my queen being the queen shoots walls while an xbow is shooting away at her, and my barb king just misses a perfect rage spell and wanders around the side due to skeletons redirecting them. I just thing skele traps should be lurable with the clan castle then we can actually rid them before this mess happens. Also I belive the lightning spell damage should be increased to compensate for the hitpoint rebalancing of buildings.

I'm only th8 but why isn't everyone in champs using air skellys? Or at least 1 set to air? I thought lavaloonion was so OP that everyone was doing air attacks.

I've set my skelly's to air for wars almost every war even at th8. I'm assuming by th9/10 you're doing the same for your regular base.

I do not think it is skeleton troops driving lavaloonian up high, it is build time. When you get up there it is all about the trophies you can get per hours. lavaloonian is much faster to build than gowipe or gowiwi...

In wars I have both set to ground, with L6 air def, L3 xbows set to air, and L14 AQ I rarely get air attacked....

Against GoWiWi air skelly are a waste. So mine are all on ground.

While they were level 1, those traps were not a huge problem. But with 3 level 3, that's tons of distraction.

If I could I would show you a replay where a king under rage hitting the TH, just go on the outside rings to kill 3 skeletons. It's like "the goal is the HDV you dumb ♥♥♥"

There should be a button to lock the current target.

Exact same thing happened to a clan mate of mine, but with witch skeletons instead. Was hilarious, but cost us a 3 star.

The premise of this thread is false anyway. Everyone uses air in champs? Hmmm..... A simple review of my defense logs show I have been attacked 7 times by lavaloon and 23 times by gowi.

They are more powerful against air attack than ground. If the skeletons were the problem go ground attack


They can attack balloons constantly without the balloons being able to target them when they are set on air.



They will pull air or ground targets that can aim at them, so your theory doesnt really hold water.

Skele traps OP ? 😂😂😂 ya gotta be joking? Surely if your comps getting smashed by OP skele traps its time to change your atk strat. And maybe a hand ful if minions might help ya
