Those pesky lightning spells are no match for my dark elixer!

Come on, I think its sad to see that so many crybabies dont like the lightningspell, whats next what you want to dissapear? Wallbreakers because they break your walls each time? Goblins becauze they like to take your loot? Or why not the Dragons, I find them very annoying when they burn down my entire village, If someone attacks me, I zap him, thats my revenge, is my right to do so as I please. Take a napkin and dry your eyes. Put your TH outside the walls when your tank is full and hope someone gives you that shield without zapping you. It works for me

Well it sucks to see the forums seem to be full of unhelpful ♥♥♥♥s. So much for that.

Ummm ok... Bye.

But actually not a bad idea, a lightning rod on the DE tank, so lightningspell will always strike into the tank, no matter where you throw it, of course that lightningrod cant be grounded and therefor will damage the DE tank, yes I like that Idea, its keeps CC troops save against the lightningspell

[BrianHotshot]

This idea has been suggested multiple times before. Also, I don't think it should be put into the game. Using lightning spells on storage's is a type of strategy. Making a lightning spell costs lots of elixir, time, and the opponent is likely to lose trophies. In return, they get some resources. Nothing should be able to stop the lightning spell, for it is part of the game, and since anyone can use it, it is fair.

I totally agree, but there are TH9 and TH10 players that cowardly like to raid TH7 and TH8 players because they are easy targets. But when the TH7 and TH8 players throw some lightning on them, they come here to whine and complain, because its not fair

Sometimes I hate to see my DE go. I like to keep it high so people zap it and I get the trophies. It's a great way to climb up the ranks. But I agree, people need to stop whining about the zapping. When I attack people know my thinking. For example, I would find a town hall in the corner and I will place 4 archers. But they placed 4 teslas there. Hmmmm. I think I'll zap their DE. That's what they get for faking it. But most often I just attack the entire base when they pull that on me and take everything.

I'd love to see a link to that quote if ya got it. Also first post, my bad, didn't know it was suggested so many times.

When you push down so that attacks on your base are not longer possible is when guys will overspend to resort to a lightning spell. Its all they got. But its for the good of the game that they still have something. I know you wanted a situation where your base was invincible but if you think about it, any way to make bases invincible would ruin the game.

As far as helpfulness, they have been very helpful. You are obviously still learning COC and don't have a full understanding of the game yet. Those very people that you are calling bad names are in fact using their better knowledge to educate you how it works really and why what you suggest would be bad for the game.

Ok so I'm sure we've all experienced the 4-5 lightning spells right to the dark elixir storage. There is no countering this, there is nothing we can do (except buy shields). We just take it to the face and grumble. We could try to revenge but it's not worth it most of the time. We'd use too much resources to get that "satisfaction", therefor they win twice.

Now my first initial "awesome" thought was, lets make teslas absorb lightning spells! Well this is already under the topic section for things not to post about. Also this could have adverse side effects as well that'd make lightning spells useless/obsolete.

So instead my village has observed the consistent lightning spells to the dark elixir, they realized it wasn't a natural occurrence, they don't like it, they've gotten smart. THEY ADDED A LIGHTNING ROD!? Yep, that's right. A lightning rod. Right on top of the dark elixir storage. You could make it an upgrade for a price, or just add it automatically. It becomes immune to lightning spells. This way it completely eliminates the uncounterable lightning spell strikes and still makes the spell itself useful for a different purpose.

I'd love to see this in-game. In the meantime keep clashin!

PS: Irish flag please. I have the urge to rock the green-white-orange!

So what if lightning can damage ur storages? Buy a drill to gain it! Rob or get revenge! Do something better! Stop complaining!

[Vskg51]

we can't do anything about this. doing this is wrong, wrong is not good, not good it's not life, so, Lightning Rod = Total Inexistence of the world.

Keep Clashing!
