Stop the massive effect of lightning spells on dark elixer tanks.

[FireThief]

Its part of the game imo. Like it or lump it to be blunt. They won't ever remove it- maybe make it less powerful but will still happen either way.

Welcome to the forum. Please read the stickies and search before posting in the future. I will now reset the unofficial "New zapping thread started" counter to zero days since the last new thread was started. This is sad because the counter had just reached a tie for most days between threads. The old record is still holding strong at zero days.

Again, needing to quote myself . . .

I call bull on that

What's your TH level? Trophy level? Drill level, if applicable? TH7 is getting a Drill soon, which will (maybe) help with the zapping, but it really isn't a big deal. I have maxed out drills and I could really care less about the DE I lose from rare zappings. It's infuriating, but not really an issue.

Also, I am sick and tired of seeing this post on the forums

Hi!

My Townlevel is 8, my townhall is outside of my walls without any defence, they can take it easily ...
all my defences are max at the moment, i'm only upgrading my walls to lvl8 now, and trying to upgrade my hog to level4. but it's completely impossible ! and i can't do anything about it, thats the biggest frustration..
I can only build one dril (at the moment, i know), but it only produces 1000DE each day, if i boost it, i stil can't make it right...

There should my something like a lightning rod as defence structure !

While it would be good for you and for me, it would be bad for the game. As much as I hate being zapped I understand that this is a bad idea. No matter how bold or underlined it is.

Take heart, its not worth the cost of the spells they have to use. Especially to get 4k they must have fully destroyed a fairly fat storage (after hitting next a ton of times to find it) which takes multiple spells. Understood you are bummed for what was taken from you. But you can have the satisfaction that it cost the guy more than he would spend getting it with troop raids. Once they figure this out they stop.

It wasn't in one attack, but 3 attacks within a 11 hours !

And trophy range? If you're too low, TH7 are gonna see your juicy storage and zap it, seeing as they can't actually take it. Too high, and you might start to see high level players flattening you for it.

People ignoring your open TH to zap your DE? Well, that's just plain rude, haha

However, if they do it to you, you can do it to them. If zapping DE is really such a broken strategy, why don't you do it? I've got 55K sitting in my tank right now, it's ripe for zapping, I'm sure a lot of other TH9 have a good amount sitting around as well

So you wish to nerf the first spell anyone can use?, you want to stop people zapping mortars or ad? All because you lost a few miserable drops of something you probably stole from some poor kid/noob struggling to save for their BK?


Lightning spell was designed to damage buildings or troops in a small area.... damage to loot structures, means loot is lost. The spell has been doing this since day 1 of the game, long before DE was here.. back then spells cost gold.. people with excess zaps sometimes zapped elixir stores.....

They have upgraded de hp so that that less is lost...


Bicth and whine about it a bit more, then go and smack someone weaker for as much loot as you can, it is what the game is all about, after all. ..

When it comes to lightning, your TH level, wall level, defense levels, NONE of it makes a different.

So why are you having a problem keeping 40k in SIX weeks? The fact that I don't get zapped when I have consistently had significant DE for looting, upwards of 100k? Why are you getting zapped and I'm not?

I'm more worried about full attacks that can take 2600 (all available DE) at a time, zapping is like a single ant at a large picnic.

It's your league level

As a TH8 that's working on expensive level 8 walls, you should be able to handle Crystal very well.

Get out of low leagues, I know you're down there because if you were in Crystal or higher, you wouldn't be getting zapped.

At the moment i'm at 1500, i lowered myself last week (from 1900) because a lot of th9's attacked me, i hoped that could help..

From now on, i won't attack anymore and use my 12 hour shield as long as possible.
But a game you can't play anymore because of the gameplay.....????

It maybe made by design, but that shouldnt be a reason tot deny a designflaw....
In politics its done daily.

I don't think you follow.

As a (nearly) max TH8, you should be fine around 1800 cups. Been there, done that. As a TH8, I very, VERY rarely got zapped. My TH got sniped more often than not, and I didn't often get attacked by TH9. It happened now and again, I can't deny that, but for it to happen a lot to you and not to others, you might want to consider what they tell you. Move up in trophies and make sure you have an intimidating base design to scare off attackers, while leaving your TH available to snipe
