Hogs and Jump Spell

[TommyS]

I am a little too cheap with de to just try this so thought I would ask here first.

I only use mass hogs in wars and, of course, with the enhanced big bad bombs, avoiding a likely double big bomb hole on a base you are attacking is vital.

The new jump spell gives us, for what I think is the first time in the game, a chance to do a bit of "steering" of deployed troops.

While at first thought the idea of deploying a jump spell on hogs seems ridiculous. I wonder if a well placed jump spell might be used to "steer" a hog pack away from a big bomb location.

Thoughts?

A jump spell effectively removes walls. Since hogs already disregard walls, I doubt it would work. But, can't be sure unless you try

SC confused people. What KL is saying is spot on

Think of the jump spell as creating a 7 radius whole in your oppoents base. If this new whole is a better path, then units redirect themselves, if not they act like normal

Ah, and since the jump spell would not provide a "better path" they would ignore it.

Thanks! I owe you a couple thousand de that I wont now waste.

Jump spell is basically a wallbreaker and it bombs that section so that their are no walls there, and if the troop sees a better route it will take it

Doubt it would work since hogs can jump over walls. they would need a jump spells. But we dont know. I would try it on a couple of hogs in the goblin map.

Only find a video about Valkyrie with Jump.
