Im a hogger now but most of my clan still uses drags and if the deploy smart they get three stars. The only time they fail with drags is when they get over confident. This isn't much of a change from before except fails do happen more at th7 from sloppy attacks then before.
Has barely affected our clan! All our 8's are still 3 star machines w/ Dragoon attacks! It's just no longer an easy drop all Drags w/ 3 Rage spells. Most of our clan have used the 105, 99, and 813 to much success! Air sweeper just limits your options on avenues of attack. I don't think the base layouts or use of the Air Sweeper have really been implemented very well by the general CoC community yet though.
Pretty sure the Sweeper just stops all the easy win spam attackers that don't even bother funneling or using the right angle of attack!
I'm still able to 3 star quite easily. All I have to do is take out the opposite AD, sneak up behind the air sweeper, and bam, 3 stars
Come on, most bases either don't have a sweeper yet or its level one. We saw zero difference for our th7/8s. It moves them like one tile lol. Once leveled up and people figure out how to position them, yeah it might help. Right now there is no difference.
Our clan doesn't use mass dragons because we don't use strategies that hardly work. try using hogs or GoWiPe. or GiWiPe
Hasn't really affected us, we had TH8's that couldn't 3 star with dragons before the update same is still true after the update. Thankfully some of us noticed the anti-dragon trend (max air defences and anti-dragon bases) in wars fairly early on and tried to steer most members to diversifying their attack strategies to hogs/gowipe/dragloonion/hogo.
We use Valks
And win :)
Last war had two dragon attacks on my war base.
One attacked from the direction the sweeper was pointing, really bad idea. I placed my storages in that direction as well protecting all the ADs. He did manage to take out 2 out of 3 ADs but got only 54% destruction. At one point the sweeper pushed the dragons away from rage spell which just was dropped, so at least managed to buy a few seconds while the drags slowly flew back into the spell's effect.
Second attack came from the opposite direction. Two drags died almost right off the bat to air mines. Only one AD got destroyed (it's a loooong way to get to ADs from that direction). Got 82% destruction.
I think that sweeper requires a good base design to be effective. Just dumping it on standard base design won't work well.
Dragons became weaks somehow after the update its not becouse the Air Sweeper but now they most of them die before the destroy half the base
This game used to be ok when you at least had a chance to 3star a base. But now its far far far too hard! The dragons are dumb, pekkas too slow, golems dont hit hard, hogs are ♥♥♥♥ aswell, its not worth warring anymore! Its ok if you are a nerd that looks at every tactic there is to win but most people just want to have war and a chance to get 3stars. Its become boring!!!
