First of all, it isn't supposed to stop all air attacks. It's meant to affect strategy, and it does. I've seen a star or two missed, because of them.
Second of all, most people don't have them maxed out yet, so it's still too early for evaluation.
I have seen them singlehandedly end a th7 dragon attack.
They have also given me some trouble in laloon attacks.
Air attacks needed a slight nerf and this is the perfect implementation of that.
I love that they didn't nerf a troop, they just gave a slight and ever so subtle buff to air defense.
And if you don't think it needed it, then you're wrong.
After using it and seeing it in action, I really like the Air Sweeper.
And it's another great example of how good Supercell is at balancing offense and defense.
Its still new, so as others have said they arent all maxed out. They also arent in the best locations/facing properly.
The sweeper does 2 things imo. Slow down a direct attack, and manipulates what side your opponent attacks from.
A lot of people don't know how to use them. I see guys with them on outer cores pointing in. The air sweeper attack spreads as it goes out and is quite ranged. The best position is inside pointing out. You can also use it to your advantage in that people with air will be less inclined to attack the side with it pointing out so you can trap the other side heavier with air traps. Play around with it a bit before calling it useless...

Change your layout....
Mine keeps making dragon attacks go into two black mines over and over again, seems to working for me. :smirk:
Like that idea - thanks!Quote:

Air sweeper is actually really good. It completely messed me up once when I was using balloonion.
