I don't care the slightest about trophies.
If i want more trophies I put my TH inside and I float up to Master 2 or 1

edit:
admittedly, I'm at the "almost bored enough with this game to quit" stage now

Some people aren't good enough to get to your DE, some people have extra spells and some just troll lol

they zap to get the DE in your storage

personally, I zap ONLY when there is 1 gem spell factory boosts, while my troops are training, the spells are brewing, after I use up my troops, I search again for zaps, after zaps are used, I search with troops, and so on.

it's a bit efficient IMO (time-wise)

and I don't care much if I get revenged

lets say that, I get revenged for my zapping, I get 12 hour shield, lose 400k/400k/3k G/E/DE
none of that matters cause I can get all those back in 3 raids, and as a farmer myself, I don't usually stay up just for a couple of hours, I go 4+ hours
I get attacked once, but I get to attack 10+ times, and of course there are times that I'm only TH sniped
I'm only speaking for myself though

some zappers are low lvl TH players, so if they zap you for 2k, you can't really revenge them and get that 2k back

(I also don't use the Revenge Feature, only if I slept in and missed an atk on clan war, and stuck with war troops)

They need DE... so they get it any way they can.

Cups? Who cares about cups... Revenge away (the one time I zapped up to the first BK I did so knowing I'd get revenged. So of course my stores were empty. And I really hope the guy who spent 100K lix on the revenge army enjoyed 100% my base, because it was totally worth it for me and I would like to bring him joy too :) )

I mean, I know why it's done, but what I don't understand is why you would do it just to open yourself up for revenge.....


In the past 2 days, Lightning zappers have hit me 3 times. All got around 1100 de from 4-5 lightning spells. This cost them roughly 100k+ elixer.....for 1k DE.


I scouted them, revenged them. The first one I got 150k gold, 200k elixer, and 1400 DE. So, how exactly did that work out for you?

The second one I got 100k gold, 90k elixer, and 1084 gold. Work out well for him?

The third, I got 233k gold, 310k elixer, and 1697 DE. See a pattern???



Also, all 3 of these "zappers" lost roughly 25 trophies ea to me. On my revenge, I got 40 trophies total on my revenge wins. So I gained over 100 trophies, as well as everything you took for me, AND MORE.

So, why would you open yourself up to this???????

Lol...


Forever hear about zappers getting smashed on revenge, or the old chestnut of 39%, set off traps, blah, blah, blah....


In my experience, I hardly ever get revenged, and when I do, I have no idea why, as it's usually long gone from my attack log...

Judging on the amount of complaints, a lot of people seem unable to revenge due to shield, so th snipers keep zappers safe.... (In c1, it rarely takes 30 seconds to get sniped, have not been revenged in ages)

You got lucky and revenged, well done. But don't expect zappers to know why, or even care...

The main thing is you feel better...

It's because you're probably the 4th or 5th village they zapped that day. At 1K+ DE a pop, that's roughly 4-7K DE for the day. Not to mention all of the dead bases they may have collected from or the lower TH's they storage raided from. Loosing 1.5K DE to a revenge once in a blue moon is chump change. Always take more than what you stand to loose.

Why zap? Because it is fun bringing down wrath from above upon some unspecting layout. lol

Truthfully I haven't even made a lightning spell in over a year or more, but I remember the weekend a clan member and I decided we both wanted the B King. Raiding one after another and zapping as soon as our spell factories were full, it was a real charge (pun intended).

I used to sit on those revenge buttons and scout out bases I could revenge. But since people are given a "free shield" just for being online I rarely got the chance. Ive mostly stopped looking for revenge tbh.

Easy DE is easy, simple as that.

You can zap a lot of players in a short period of time, but it only takes one strong revenge to give you a 12- or 16-hour shield. Even if you're able to consistently prepare for and revenge every player that zaps you, you're just protecting them from others who would also seek revenge. The reward exceeds the risk.
