I think the air defenses or lightening spells may be bugged. I've seen 3 players now use 3 consecutive lightning spells on an air defense for the air defense to still be standing. These are on level 5/6 air defenses with level 4 lightning spells. All spells are dropped directly on top of the air defense. The HP goes to 0 and yet it does not get destroyed.
If you will show a replay maybe we could have a better idea about this bug you are reporting. Maybe you are doing something wrong, so please show a video to prove the problem.
I believe level 4 lightning cannot take out AD6. Correct me if I'm wrong.
EDIT: Level 4 lightning does have the ability to take it out, but the attacker did not drop the three lightning in the middle of the AD, which caused 1 strike to miss.
you are wrong.
lvl 6 AD = 1050 hitpoints
lvl 4 lightning spell = 390 damage
390 x 3 = 1,170

Here's the thing, if 3 strikes from 3 lightning misses, its 65 per strike * 3 which is 195. 1170 (total damage of three lightning) - 195 is obviously not enough to take it out. Additionally, if it misses 2 strikes, it will not fall either.Quote:

By the way, nobody said 3 lightning spells HAVE to take one AD down but they CAN take it down, depending on the luck of how and where the zaps hit.
Your members are dropping the lightning without being zoomed-in. I think this may help you and your clan, made by a guide from Leoj (just search that username on this forum) :
How to drop? Damaging an air defense for 90% of its hit points is completely useless. Make sure you drop lightening correctly for full destruction.
· Do not select the spell button yet to avoid accidentally dropping.
· Zoom in on the air defense
· Triple tap in center of Air def. The center is defined as the center tile on the ground.
· There is no need to wait for the first spell to finish before dropping the next. Dragons are slow so don’t waste time.
· Pro Tip: Once you get good it may be possible to time your lightening drop with the emergence of the clan troops. If the clan castle is nearby you may be able to kill some of them in the process. This takes timing and luck.
Agreed. The spells did not target the middle of the ad. Not a bug.Quote:

This was from a previous war. The lightning spells were dropped even less accurately than the first guy and yet they managed to destroy it. I've also seen even worst placed lightning spells only to have the AD destroyed every time.
I don't think that each separate lightning spell does 65 damage per strike... or else there would be more hitpoints left on the air defense. But as you can see, there's none.
Lightning spells do splash damage right? Like balloons do when they fall, like wizards do when they attack... And the splash damage is not part of the 390 damage that a lvl 4 lightning spell does. It is just splash damage, which occurs outside of the 390. Someone clarify..
Oh and the other reason that 65 damage per lightning strike doesn't make sense is because the mortar was also destroyed in that video...
Both the AD and the mortar = 1700 HP
If three lvl 4 lightning spells only do 1170 total, how is it that they did over 1700 damage?
