Buff The X-Bow

Xbow only advantage is health but its rarely helps..since its always get 1shotted by a group of wizards or pair of pekkas anyway.

This means you're always getting GoWiPe'd in wars, which means you're never getting 3 starred anyway, so why do you need a buff to X-Bows? ;)

Because its not only about me.
Im not doing this bcs i got 2 or 3 starred lol.

anyway i usually got attacked by modified gowipe not classic gowipe..or usually by loons..and its actually just example i take from my experience attacking other ppl.

I think a buff to Xbow levels 1 and 2 would be a good feature.

I agree. I think it needs a slight buff and a big reduction to war weight.

This will give more challenge and balance.

What makes me think that X-Bow needs a buff?Here it is :

1.It takes long time to upgrade
2.it is expensive(compared to equal AT counterpart,Ex : lv3 xbow cost 7mil and 12days,lv11 AT cost 4.5mil and 6 days.)

3.It gives huge war weight every upgrade
4.Its damage are very low(per shot and dps)
5.only +1 range advantage from AT.
6.It cost elixir to reload like it was so special.

In comparasion :
Lv1 multi inferno does 30dps to 5 enemy,and make them immune to heal.

Lv1 xbow does 50 dps to 1 enemy with no effects or whatsoever,And low damage per shot..even a lv9 archer does more damage than it.

I know its different Th available weapon between inferno and xbow..but the X-bow are a complete joke..its just a weaker version of AT with +1 range.

My suggestion is give the X-Bow 12-13 range tiles at air and ground..And for ground only keep the 14 tiles range but with 15% more damage(due to faster penetration speed bcs of the low firing angle) so 50dps became 57..and 75 become 85dps..80 became 92.

Xbow only advantage is health but its rarely helps..since its always get 1shotted by a group of wizards or pair of pekkas anyway.

Base stat at lv1 compared to equal counterpart AT(lv9)

X-Bow = 50 Dps(5 damage per shot or something close),Air and ground,11 tiles,1500hp,7days,3mil.

AT = 56 dps(56 damage per shot),Air and ground,10 tiles,700-800hp,4days,1.5mil

I dont really remember above stat since its been long time for me to be at that lv of defense but i believe it is accurate enough.

So yeah thats it. I love how x-bows looks tho at lv3..thats the only reason i upgrade it lol.

> 3.It gives huge war weight every upgrade
Too huge.

I tend to agree and advise new TH9s to not hurry with building X-bows. They are fantastic anti-barcher defences, but not so exciting in war defense with tanks only being tickled by them.

They do confound barbarian and skeleton rushes on the ITs, but I think their war weighting is too high.

I don't think it needs a buff at all, huge HP, huge range, fast fire rate. It's lower DPS is to compensate for those things.

While I do agree the war weight is a bit too much, the difference in weight between a TH9 who has a lv 1 x-bow and one that does not is just crazy.

I deliberately delayed building my X-Bows on my mini because of it.

I had max Air Defenses, max Teslas, 15/15 heroes and 100 odd lego walls. And getting ranked lower than a brand new TH9 with no max defenses for TH9, no lava walls and heroes well below 10/10...just because they have an x-bow.

My base was far more difficult to defeat.

Seriously?

I think the Xbow is good where it is. I cant tell you how many times I have had the Xbow destroy an enemy war attack. Its not about the defensive structure, its about the design of the base. I guarantee you are using one of the off-the-shelf bases that are commonly obtained on clashofclansbuilder.com or something like that. My base rarely gets 3 starred and a lot end at 1 star until 4 or 5 people have hit me and found where everything is. Then the 6th will only get the 2 stars. My bases are all custom made by me. Not modified variants.

If you dont like how your defense works, change it. The mass production bases just make it easy for us to find holes in the base.

People really need to stop guessing about something like they're the best..*i bet your not maxed out..*i bet your using those mainstream design and so on.

Once again read what i said..its not about me,I rarely get 2starred to be perfectly honest sometimes my mirror only do 50-60% destruction without my th getting blown up..So its not about my defense nor my base design(i always create my own)

Im talking for everyone that x-bow needs a slight buff..make it 12tiles range for air and ground mode..atleast that would make it have some significant advantage over AT right now.

But lvl 9 archers don't exist....?

But X-Bows don't need an buff.

The xbow is just fine...

Plus it can have a greater range more than a tile if you set it to ground.
It's strength lies in its HP and attack speed and I have seen multiple raids fail because of an xbow
