What happened to defense?

Any lame ole player can 2 star with gowipe and EQ. No skill involved what so ever. What happened to the spirit of defense. L9 walls still cant stop EQ spell, neither does L10 walls. Whats the point if EQ lets weak players get 2 stars?

gowipe two-stars pretty much any base anyway, it's preventing the three-star that's important

Wise words.

And 2 starring a maxed th 10 isnt that easy even with the EQ spell. As said, on other TH levels all you have to focus on is not getting 3 starred :)

Yes, the EQ spell is overpowered, though I have heard rumors that the spell will be nerfed in future updates. Expect it to be toned down on damage against walls for lower level players in a coming update (maybe).

By watching 8/8 attacks (8 Golems, 8 EQs) it feels a bit like... what should walls do?
It's a bit overpowered, was my first thought on EQ.

I think it works pretty fine on general, but this wall smashing thing is a bit too heavy.
Maybe a change like 'walls under XX%hp wont take any effect from EQ' would change it.
That way it's possible to deal some heavy damage to walls, but not open bases totally...

Is that a real strategy that works? I would think they would be so slow that you couldn't get 3 stars with them but if it works I might try it once my heroes get to 40 and I don't need the DE so badly.

2 jump spells also let weak players get 2 stars so earthquake really hasn't changed the game much. It simply allows you to spend DE instead of elixir on spells if you wish.

Preventing the 3 star at th9 is easy. Before i moved from 8 to 9. People would struggle mightily to get even 2 stars. Now at th9, it takes less skill to get 2. When i say getting 2, i really mean like barely getting it. Like 50, 51% style attacks. All GoWipe nothing else.

that's why it's about offence, not just defense
