Just wondering if a single splash damage shot from a wizard against defending cc troops would damage both the troops on the ground and in the air.... or is the game truly 3d in this sense... i.e. the damage affects only the air or the ground depending on what it was cast at.
If they are separate it would stand to reason that a mixture of ground and air troops would be best for cc defense troops.
I think they are mutually exclusive, but I could be wrong.
Smart question. From what I've observed, they do damage on both. But that's my observation and it can be inaccurate.
As far as I know;
It is dependent on the troop that gets engaged first.
So say I send out some lvl 6 Archers and some L5 Minions at a L5 WizTwr..
If the Archers are targeted first, then the WT will need to shoot them 2x to ko them. since the archers are 'ground troops' the Wiz tower shoots a few 'ground splash attacks' at them. the Minions will not be targeted by the 'ground splash' attacks, and can damage the WT until the Archers are ko'd... at which point the WT will switch to the minions and do "Air-Splash" attacks until they are dead. (leaving the ground troops to continue to attack during the "Air-Splash" attacks.
I like to send in a few Minions along with my Arch/Barbs/Giants while a WT is doing ground attacks (and vice versa) and it takes them down in no time.
Best place to test it would be a Gob map that has an exposed WT in it. but im certain, its either Air-Splash for the Air troops; OR Ground splash for the ground troops. but not an Air-and-Ground-Splash in the same shot.
Buildings always get hit by splash though, even if targeting an air troop flying over a building. A typical case is drag coming out of CC and then parking on top of a building VS a mass drag attack. The attacking dragons will damage the building underneath and the dragon above at the same time.
Similar thing happens with wizards attacking some air mode skeletraps, buildings underneath taking damage as well.
