Can anyone explain this to me.?

So, the following picture shows my AQ targeting the Gold storage. While destroying the storage, she takes damage from the cannons. Once destroyed, I was expecting her to target the cannon next. But, as seen in the next picture, she targets a tesla, which is past the cannon.

This is some weird stuff.
Very weird. I have noticed that too, it just seems to happen sometimes. At first I thought the king distracted her, but it does look like she fired at the tesla first.
I though that we what was going to happen too but I was surprised she attacked the tesla.
What else can we say? She's insane.
That happened to me last week. She walked right through a cannon just to attack the Wizard Tower that was further away. :-/ Maybe the Wizard Tower was looking at her funny and she didn't like that.
She is a queen. She do what she want..
Thats my friend, the only explaination.. sadly
This is just logic :rolleyes:
This is strangely common though...
Stop giving her the dark stuff before raids! Everyone knows it's bad to drink and raid! smh smh :rolleyes:
I think while proximity is the key factor for targeting, there is a slight element of randomness too. e.g. if you use hogs or loons, which are def-seeking troops used in mass, you would expect them to path 100% the same way. But in a large pack a couple will usually split off to another defense structure which is slightly further away.
AQ seems particularly prone to this, maybe her exceptional range leads her to "consider" targets in a wider radius.
Twice in clan wars I have had AQ shooting at a wall while standing IN a jump spell, now that is mysterious and annoying.
It happens often.:rolleyes:
Well... My question is.. Why didn't you attack from the left side. Where all the loot is at !!?
Happened to me a couple of minutes ago. Skipped the elixir collector beside her and attacked the other one which was a couple of tiles away lol.
Orz discussed this in his latest base thread. It seems like archers and AQ target opppnents and structures based on line of sight where they are facing. So even if the cannon is beside the AQ, the closest target based on front facing LOS is the tesla. Feel free to check to see if the theory holds.
This seems to be what happened. Plus the queen went for the king, but as the king had already finished off his troops, and he activated the queens ability making her retarget, she ended up hitting the tesla. The closest target was the cannon, but if your hypothesis holds true it would explain why she went for the tesla and not the cannon.Quote:
