    New “targeting spell”

    the “targeting spell” it can target any building, for a limited time. Maybe about 15-20 seconds then the army stops targeting that specific building and resumes going about anywhere on the map. It would be a main spell about 2 spaces and would cost 35,000 elixir. Nothing too special but just an idea 🤔

    It's been suggested before and shot down every time because it would make attacking far too easy. You could just target the TH with air troops to get an easy 1 star every time.

    This would pretty much make anti 2 star bases and ring bases useless.

    Im ok with ring bases being useless. Kind of tired of seeing them is all.
    OP Defense: Any defense the poster doesn’t like or know how to work around, nullifies their attack or denies them their rightful three star.

    Each time this suggestion arises, I simply believe it would not be effective at all.

    Flaring works in Boom Beach because:

    1) Boom Beach has no walls, no movement hindrances. Each and every troop has a direct path from any and all points to any and all points.

    2) Boom Beach has a Smoke Screen to protect troops in route.

    At best, the spell could be used for air troops, hogs, and miners. But even then, while Loons rush the targeted EA, expect the King and Queen to go on a suicide march, ignoring all defenses which are targeting them while the try to beat down walls to get there themselves.

    This would make Clash an easy 3 star fest at every level.

    It’s an interesting idea but to be fair it needs some tweaking. What if you could only target defenses with it for a shorter time and only a certain amount of troops would be affected?

    Not to mention that in boom beach you can only deploy your troops from one location at the beach, whereas in clash you can deploy your troops on any part of the base. It'd be like how disastrous the Critters used to be when they were affected by flares
