Earthquake spell issue

Why do 4 level 1 earthquake spells take down walls? They don't do 100% damage. 4*6=24 24*4=96. Furthermore, if 96% damage is enough to take down walls, why don't three lvl 2 spells take down walls? Three lvl 2 spells do the exact same damage as 4 lvl 1 spells. 4*8=32 32*3=96. There is zero logic behind any of this, other than apparently somebody at supercell just randomly deciding that 4 spells is a lot so it should work

Wrong. It operates off remaining hitpoints. You cant add percentages because after the initial spell the damage drastically drops. Basically if the spell does 24% damage to walls the second spell only does 24% damage to the 76% remaining hitpoints. I could go into great detail however this thread was created for that purpose. Take a look as it will give you the information based on hours of gameplay and tons of evidence collected.

So someone went through and did the math and all it proved was that the 4th lvl 1 earthquake spell you drop on a wall does almost 50% damage. It still makes no sense.

Not almost 50%, as when the 4th spell drops, the wall will be at around 17-20% remaining hitpoints. From what it looks, the entire wall collapses at around 20% or slightly lower.

Did you even read the thread i posted? It makes absolutely perfect sense. Read it. It literally spells everything out perfectly.

Yes I read it and it doesn't make sense at all. 3 lvl 2 spells will take a total of almost 69% and not take the wall down. 4 lvl 1 spells only do 66% but do take the walls down. Do the math yourself if you don't believe me

Well, it explains how the spells works perfectly. It doesn't really explain why the 4th level 1 earthquake spell does so much damage (other than 4 appears to be a magic number that will always cause a wall to crumble). I definitely like that feature of the earthquake spell, but the math doesn't entirely make sense. For the math to work either level 4 earthquake should take less than 4 spells or level 1 earthquake should take more than 4.

Lemme help you.


Spell 1 24-100=76
Spell 2 (24%*76=18.24)-76=57.76
Spell 3 (24%*57.76=13.862)-57.76=43.89
Now Spell 4 will drop it BELOW the insta kill damage.You need to remember that the 4th spell is still doing damage, and not just insta-killing the wall.
Spell 4 (24%*43.89=10.53)-43.89=33.35


So more like 33% at which point its at the threshold for insta kill. Remember that the threshold for walls is also 4x that of normal buildings.

3 lvl 2 spells take it lower than 33% bro. 31.44 actually. No matter how you cut the math 3 lvl2 is more damage than 4 lvl 1
