Poison spell wasn't a great idea?

My troop requests haven't changed since the patch. Sometimes they get poisoned, sometimes they don't.

The poison spell brought a much needed balance to the most overpowered defense in the game. It was absolutely disgusting how much damage an unlured CC could do. Now, if the attacker wants to use a spell slot packing poison instead of a haste, they can deal with low health CC troops more easily (though the troops still can oftentimes do some amazing damage if not pulled). Wizards can wipe out a lot of troops before a level 1 poison spell takes them down.

Man I love it when witches and wizards (and archers or minions) pop out of a war CC. I just say...lol do they even war? Have they even heard of poison?

lol, it isn't a matter of being able to adapt. It's easy as hell to "adapt" by always carrying or bringing a poison spell unless the CC is known and a different plan is used. Just drop it and voila, all dead (I use hogs a lot so if it's dragloon in the CC I usually hold the poison for skeletons, so it's not like I'm wasting that tiny spell space just in case or anything, I still get something useful out of it)

Plus of course max balloons do take a lot of damage to a leveled up poison.

You lavaloon without luring the CC against max drags?

Do you have videos of this?

Did you ever think maybe putting wizards and witches in the cc was too easy? So they put in the poison to counter it.

lolno

Witches and wizards were not "obviously too strong".

Are dragons and balloons obviously too strong because they are the most common now? Should they make poison do 4x damage vs dragons to help you out?

No, I don't think putting wizards and witches in the CC was "too easy". What?

The complainers, as usual, just dont know how to deal with the change and dont like having to relearn something that had become easy for them and is now difficult again.

There always could literally be anything in there.

The difference is that, now, if they are at all serious, it will be almost entirely dragons, balloons, valks, and lava hounds.

Now: Could be drag, loons, valks, lava or any combo of those. All of which are going to effect different attack strategies differently. I dont think its harder, just different. Its the complainers that seem to be having trouble with the change.

---

Before: Anything

Now: Dragon, loons, valks, hound, as fits, or they get ridiculed for not knowing how to war.

Until now.

The game has been balanced and the Clan Castle is now much like an Archer Tower or Cannon. It's just there. You upgrade it. It does a small bit of damage but gets destroyed easily. Pretty much useless.

Yeah, because the TH5 that is attacking the TH5 (war or raids) can just poison the CC. :facepalm:

Wait, what's that? You don't get poison until TH8? Clearly TH8's spend a lot of time attacking TH5's and clearly TH8's were having a hard time with the wizards in the CC's of the TH5's they were attacking. :smirk:

Just make it take 2 spell slots. Problem solved.
