What level lightning and earthquake to destroy Lev 7 air defense

I currently have Lev 5 lightning and Lev 1 earthquake.

Will 2 lightning and 1 earthquake take out level 7 air defense?

Does lightning need to be level 6?

2 x lvl 6 lightning + 1 EQ takes out lvl 7 AD.

Not sure Lvl 5 can do it may need 3 and eq not sure.

Also... one easy way to test is in the single player campaigns

Thanks for the advice. Tried out 2 level 5 lightining spells and 1 earthquake and was not enough to take out level 7 air defense.

Looks like I'm going to upgrade to level 6 lightning to take advantage of extra dark spell in update to improve my Lavaloonion attacks in wars.

I know for certain that with EQ3 and lightning 6 it takes 1 Eq spell and 2 lightning spells.

To do so, you need to drop EQ first them zapps right? Will 2 lightnings lvl 6 and one EQ lvl 1 do?

Yes, drop your EQ first, then your two lightning spells.

why does it matter if you do EQ first or last? EQ does damage based on max HP of the building.

if you do EQ 1st its the EQ most damage since HP is full..but whatever you do 1st lvl6 lighting and lvl1 EQ will always destroys lvl7 AD..works also lvl5 lighting lvl1 EQ to lvl6 AD and lvl7 lighting lvl1 EQ to lvl8 AD,any arrangement of dropping the spell will always do.

in terms of spell drop order, the theory on that was not due to damage but the lightning bolt spread. When the lightning is dropped as second and third spells the bolts should be tighter. Pretty sure i have seen it go light/light/eq and it still working, but i dont do it myself so i can't confirm.

It doesn't matter in which order you drop them. The EQ spell does a percentage damage of the ORIGINAL HP of the structure. Each successive EQ spell does a smaller percentage of the ORIGINAL HP of the structure.

I'd give the direct link, but supercell doesn't like the target site.

any order will do as long as you have the right lighting lvl to do the job..for lvl6 AD is lvl5 lighting, lvl7 AD lvl6 lighting lvl8 AD is lvl7 lighting and only lvl1 EQ will do to all of those..

Actually I've found with my TH8's that it doesn't work with AD6 unless I go light/light/eq. I may be screwing up though. Definitely had it fail when I've done eq/light/light. This with Light5/EQ1 btw.

as others have said, EQ damage is based on original HP of buildings so it won't do any more or less damage.

The order does NOT matter. However, what you're describing, Drew, is very real, but cause and effect misplaced. I used to scratch my head sometimes when I would fail to destroy an AD when I knew I had the right spells. It dawned on me that some of the lightning bolts weren't hitting. My solution was that I now ZOOM IN before I drop the Lightning spells so that I can ensure they're dead center. I've never failed to destroy the target AD since I started this.

2 level 5 lightning + 1 level 3 EQ will destroy a level 7 AD

Nope. That will take out a level 6 AD, not a 7. 2 level 6 lightning and 1 level 1 EQ will take out a level 7 AD.

Just did it again (2 level 5 lightning + 1 level 3 EQ) and it took out a level 7 AD​.

Please note the level 3 earthquake spell bit.

I'm updating my lightning to lvl6 instead of my EQ to lvl3... Saving DE for Queen upgrade. Hope you all are right. I've used 2 lvl5 LS & 1 lvl3 EQ successfully on lvl7 AD.

Hi Guys. Can anyone suggest if 2x 5lvl lightning spells and 2x 2lvl earthquake spells cand destroy 2x lvl7 AD standing next to each other? Thank you

earthquake lvl3 has 21% damage capacity so drop it first on lvl 7 AD which will bring down the hit point to 876.9...then two lvl5 lightening spell 450 damage point each..will destroy lvl 7 AD.

but if u cast two lvl5 lightening first then it will bring down the hit point to mere 210 but casting lvl 3 earthquake next cud only damage 21%of the remaining 210... 21% damage to 210 will still keep the AD 165.9 hit points strong.

so always USE EARTHQUAKE FIRST THEN LIGHTENING.

UBER A...i am not sure about both the AD. but for a single u need to cast EQ first and then Lightening.

Keep in mind that an EQ will destroy any building (that it can normally damage and not already hit by an EQ) that has less than 14% of its health remaining.

i assume you mean dropping the lightning on the place where the AD`s tiles touch each other? you can test this on the goblin map but ive never been able to take both out when using 2 lightnings and a quake, it always seems to leave at least one standing whereas 3x lightning always does the business if they are on target.

2 lightening lvl6 and 1 earthquake spell lvl4 will take down lvl7 air defense

I can confirm this. Level 3 EQ + Level 5 Lightning does destroy a Level 7 AD

Go back and read the beginning part of this thread with all the info on how EQ works. The order does not matter!

joNDel is touching on something very important here. Definitely ZOOM IN and make sure you drop your Lightning Spell on the CENTER TILE of the Air Defense. The center of the spell is the only spot that receives the maximum damage value of the spell. The damage area of the spell is 7 tiles but all of that surrounding area only receives partial damage. Hit the AD in the middle and you won't fail. Level 6 Lightning + Any Level EQ OR Level 5 Lightning + Level 3 EQ will work����. Have fun!!

Yall just necroed a 3 year old thread and didn't even notice

To answer the thread anyways, two level 6 zaps is absolutely needed, but any level earthquake works. At th10 you only need two max zaps and no earthquakes

Exact same with me. I was simply missing my spell placement, rather than any issue within my spell order.
