Lightning rod

[Jellidonutz]

Then why are there plenty of TH10 at lower trophies? who do they expect to find there?

They are there farming the townhall 9s, who are there farming the townhall 8s, who are there farming the townhall 7s, etc...

vicious cycle

This post just exposed you as an utter hypocrite.

Explain please?

I'm a TH10 above 2000, and get lightninged by TH8,9 & 10. I make it a point to wipe out the attacker's base whenever possible.

But you are wrong to think a TH10 farmer would bother raiding low levels. I only raid TH9 & 10. Anything lower is not worth the troops due to the loot penalty (unless revenge for lightning).

DE storage needs an upgrade level, with built in lightning rod.

Yes exactly! We trophy push every month, so the stop farming lower levels is a rubbish defence. I don't attack lower lv TH as it aint worth it. The reason for this post was to suggest a way to stop a very hard resource to make ie 3 pumps maxed weeks to make some DE, never never the 200k DE needed for the max queen. This is not possible as lower level players WHO CAN'T BREAK INTO YOUR BASE drop a few lightning spells taking thousands!

If you want to progress in this game, which is what its all about really and making money for sc that im not paying £69.99 per month to upgrade my queen etc im just not doing it. So I need to save BUT THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE WITH LIGHTNING JOCKEYS❗❗❗❗❗❗❗

What rubbish defence?
If you trophy push, then stay at that level! Why would you drop trophy to a range where TH7 would frequent?

I don't attack lower lv TH as it aint worth it.

Then don't stay at the lower lvl TH range!

Very hard? Really?
DE is the easiest to get as a TH10. You get 7.2k DE from pumps alone! And you should get plenty of DE during your normal raids at higher trophy range.

And losing thousands? You cannot lose thousands to a TH8 or 9 using lightning.
You just have to stay away from the TH7 range!

So I need to save BUT THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE WITH LIGHTNING JOCKEYS❗❗❗❗❗❗❗

It is perfectly possible according to many users posted here.

but are you telling me that they will pass on a TH7 base that has a really good loot? I dont think so.

Have you seen that there are players in the higher leagues farming the top end players? Look it up.... Its not hard I've seen players at very low levels up in 2500 T range. Its not hard for them to get there and they won't be attacked as they have nothing to give apart from maybe an easy win to rise further yourself.

The fact is top level players should not be hit by this. An easy fix.

There is nowhere thats safe! Less frequent yes but still not safe. Look at the posts on this forum level 50 in masters I rest my case.

Yeah, you can rest you case - how many level 50 in Master I players there are there? What's the chance that your base would be matched up?

And that's the whole point! The chance and frequency of getting attacked by low level players! Much MUCH lower when you are in higher trophy range!!

You can't possibly 'rest your case' on the fact that a few, like 5, TH7 players have gotten to master leagues. Dropping 8-9 dragons for 1 star is hardly farming top end players. You were commenting on players dropping lightning spells, there are plenty of places you will be safe against them, but you will risk being targeted by stronger players.

You can't have all the gold, elixir and dark elixir and expect not to lose any.

I like a spell prevention building. I think the game NEEDS it for balance reasons.
But for revenue reasons it's a bad idea. Gemmers gem a lot. And at the moment it is impossible to prevent a 50% star from a good raid. The game developers know this and add in more ways to get fast troops to revenge the person (all requiring gems to bypass the unit cook time). And this is part of the way the game generates revenue.

Add in spell prevention buildings and you can prevent a few buildings, usually stores from being zapped. This makes it harder to quickly get resources. Thus easier to defend the base and less need to spend gems to race through new troops to revenge.
