It doesnt matter what level your earthquake spell is

No matter what level your earthquake spell is it always takes four of them to take out walls. I've done the math, I've been attacked by earthquake spells, I've watched videos of people attacking with earthquake spells: no matter what it takes 4! What is the point of them doing four times the damage on the walls? Why do we have to have a spell where it takes algebra to calculate how much damage its going to do?? What is the point of leveling it up?? I know what the answers are going to be: the whole 'softening factor' but what is really the point of that?? I'm sorry to rant but the percentage remaining factor on earthquake spells is absolutely useless and is very confusing. If you're worried that it's going to be too overpowered then figure out other workarounds rather than making the spell totally 'nerfed'. I would appreciate Supercell's explanation on all of this. I still appreciate all you guys do, but so far we have no game changers

I am also wondering why I bothered upgrading my earthquake spell from level 1 to 3. There is no improvement in the destruction of walls. The hope was for 3 earthquake spells to destroy walls and free up another spell place. It's a great spell that just doesn't seem to be doing what the description would have you think!

The only thing is they do more damage to the nearby buildings

IMO, it should just be rebalanced to have a fixed % of max HP damage. If they have to lower the % amount to keep it balanced then so be it.

Another thing they could do is make it do both, regular damage and % damage. It's would be much easier to balance on that case, make it easier to provide meaningful upgrade levels and it also would make it more effective against lower level walls than higher level walls.
