Earthquake Spell has extra extra damage to wall?

Max wall = 7000HP

0.06*7000 = 420 damage.
4x damage = 1680 damage.

New wall health = 5320HP

0.06*5320 = 319.2 damage.
4x damage = 1276.8 damage.

New wall health = 4044.2HP

0.06*4044.2 = 242.562 damage.
4x damage = 970.608

I don't need to continue to show the math here is a little weird. even doing it the other way round (24% damage instantly against walls) you can instantly see that the numbers don't add up.

There's something we're missing.

I don't use EQ in wars but I am using it to high success on my trophy push.

I cook 1 rage 2 freeze in regular SF and 1 poison 4 EQ in DF as it cuts down on wait time.

I plan the attack to where I will funnel my troops to the point of entry that EQ can open as it is wide.

4 lvl 1 spells take out any lvl walls and I have done over 50 attacks with it. I don't see the point of upgrading the EQ spell beyond lvl 1 unless it will reduce the amount of EQ's I would need to take but for some reason does not seem to be the case.

4 lvl 1 earthquakes does indeed take down any level wall.

Max wall 7000 hp.
first eq takes down to 5320
second eq takes down to 4043.2
third eq takes down to 3072.832
The hp after the third spell is 43.8976% of the total hp of the wall.

The Earthquake spell will drop a building with a low enough hp.
The percentage of hp remaining for insta kill is also 4x for walls. As the eq spell says it has 4x EFFECT not just damage.

So the percentage to drop a building is somewhere between 10.9744% and 14.44%
Those percentages are 4x for walls.

That seems like the most reasonable explanation... the remaining HP to 'finish off' the wall sections is 4x what it would take on a low remaining building.

Didn't think of that. Well that makes sense now for 4 level 1 EQs but if that was the case then you should definitely be able to take out walls will less EQs when you upgrade them...but you can't.

Yep! Extra Extra damage to walls..

The other explanation is that level 1 EQ spell does almost as much damage as level 4 EQ against walls.

What I think happens is that all the spells get +30% added damage against walls:

• Level 1 = 6% + 30% = 36%
• Level 2 = 8% + 30% = 38%
• Level 3 = 10% + 30% = 40%
• Level 4 = 12% + 30% = 42%

Like that it makes perfect sense that it always takes 4 spells to knock down walls. With above values, 3 spells takes walls down to just above 20% and the fourth spell always takes the wall under 20%.

Really?!?!... Want to eat your words of "no way you are going to get a 3 star" because I have done it many times? This is just an example, I can supply TH10s doing it as well if you like...

Has anyone tried dropping EQs one at a time and see if walls are destroyed?

I have seen people try to... takes 4
