Lightning spell must be reassessed

[Blountforce]

You cannot raid a town hall that is two levels lower than you and expect to make a profit. I have lost almost 10,000 DE this past season to people dropping lightning spells on my storage. It is a problem that needs to be fixed.

I agree, the same thing happens to me every night. It's extremely difficult saving up the 70,000 DE that I need to upgrade my heros at this point because every night my base gets lightning zapped for several thousand DE. They need to do something about this. Atleast give us some kind of trap for those lightning spells.

zapping de is part of the game. totally disagree

Supercell has not done anything at all about this "zapping" feature? I think not. They have done something. Think. Elixir now can be used to upgrade walls. So for people who has maxed army and barracks, elixir will still prove useful to them. Now observe this.

In the past, elixir is used to be transmuted to dark elixir by this "zapping" method, since it cannot be transmuted to gold, to be used for upgrading walls.

Now that elixir can be used to upgrade walls, people will have to prioritize, between walls or their dark elixirs. Their "zapping" methods actually does not bring profit. It just gets converted from one currency to another (spend elixir, get DE).

The victims, however, are not very happy about it. Not only they lost DE for nothing, they also did not get any shield because the damage is practically 0%. But know this. I personally prefer the zapper than the onslaught-ers. 4 Lightning spells can be turned to 2 healing and 2 rage, a decent army composition, and plummet all of your bases, or at least half of them. Th8? Fine, -20 army cap and -1 spell and -1 Hero. If the player is skilled, they can take at least half of your resources.

Honestly I used to be zappers, but now that I compared the spells that I can use to be a better use to raid, I can take 100% of my opponent's DE than 50-60% and bailing out. I had one of my friends took revenge against a very sturdy base, with a 6700 DE loot. Instead of taking 5 Lightnings, he took baloons and lava hounds with him to raid the guy. Result? Instead of 3000+ DE, he got away with 400k/400k/6700 loot.

People are furious how their DE keep getting zapped. But in my eyes, they're the lower half that gets intimidated by our base and can only lick some of our cookies. So instead of nagging about it, be grateful that not all of clashers here are competent enough to bring your village to ruin.

I disagree. There should be nothing to stop lightning spells from doing less or no damage to anything. If any player can zap resources, then it's called fair. Zapping resources is part of the game. It's a strategy. I personally dislike being zapped with lightning spells, but I live with it. If you don't like it, just drop down in trophies.

the reason th7 use lightning spell on dark elixir storage is they don't have drill.

if you got a bicycle for birthday but you have to get pedals next year.
what they can do is steal pedals.
it is same. use lightning spell on dark elixir is must-do for th7 for barbarian king and dark troops

[JerrytheScary]

No, it's a bad idea, and a legit strategy for anyone looking for de, like a th7-8, that can necisarrily take out a th9 that is usually very strong if they have lots of de. Although the attat should stay, there is the issue that th8 max drill LVL is only 3, and it should be increased just one LvL to 4, as each level DRASTICIALLY increases the amount of production and storage, and would make it easer for us to get De, without relying as much on lighting

It seems to me like a QQ thread instead of something serious and interesting. I've voted no.

[smoggybowman]

I care not....

Lower th's dont have the ability to make their own, so have to get it somehow.

if you insist on sitting in leagues full of th6/7's then its your own fault when they zap your store.
