Dragon attacks during war Needs to be stopped

[TullSadum]

Stop whining. Prioritise you AD upgrades and air traps, fyi - its not as easy as you think to 3 star every th8 that has level 6 AD, requires strategy and skill..

Maybe post some of the war bases your clan mates are using and falling to drags

Don't be silly it's a player's perogative to use all dragon attacks if he chooses. And it's not brainless it requires thought and careful deployment because the dragons don't always go where people want them to.

well, not all clans are TH8/TH7...

the Dragon attacks are only prevalent on TH8s/TH7s

if you're TH9/TH10 and get 3 starred by dragons
then the base lay out just simply sucks

put your storages in front of your air defense. the dragons take longer to take those storage units down because they have over 1600 health. While they sit there trying to take it down, your air defense can hit them longer. and put your air bombs there too.

Of course if they enemy wants to spend 400k in elixir (10 dragons and 3-4 rage) to get a bonus of 200k elixir, that is their prerogative.

all this ^^^

and no-one is stopping you from attacking with drags yourself....

I'm sure like many other clans, I am sick and tired of opposing teams during war continuously using dragon Based attacks. A brainless yet 90% chance 3 star win rate(depending on dragon level and defending base) So how bout putting a limit to the amount of Dragons that a player can use on each attack? (3 for example)

This then forces players to think of a more fitting strategy instead of relying on Dragons and Giving the more legit (strategist) clans a better more fair fight.

Something needs to be resolved about this brainless tactic of dragon attacks during war

Either the dragon using people are awesome players, able to make the attack look effortless, or your bases are just plan easy to be burnt to the ground via dragons.

I'd bet the latter, given how pathetic some bases can get, and how noob-ish some dragon using people are.

Good dragon using people see bases in a noticeably different way, and requires a different kind thinking of how to take out a base. Things most ground unit using players sees as threats are turned almost on thier head when using dragons. Obviously Air Defence buildings are important, but any experienced raider with dragons would also see things like storages as a kind of wall, or huge speed bump towards thier goal. Archer Towers and Telsa Towers, given a moderately long chance can pick away ar a dragon and kill it. Seeker Air bombs are dragon killers, as they take out a huge chunk of health, or outright kills a wounded one. Then you have distractions, like Heros on the ground, CC troops, and airboren skeletons making a dragon stop attacking a building and go and try to fry a defending unit. I've seen a dragon move half way across a base, just to fry some archers! That wasn't good at all, since it messed up my formation, and I think that one cost me my 3 star win. Also, CC wizards can get a lucky shot and take out a dragon, which miffs people, since taking out a dragon hurts thier chances of a total win.

With the amount of flying fire power that is there, getting one star is almost asured... almost. That is not to say some noob, or unlucky person, dragon attacks a base with a good setup, and get wiped out before even getting 50% damage or a TH destroy.

br that said... yeah, right brainless. Only thing brainless are the AI on dragons, with how they wander around aimlessly. Like herding cats...

There are many anti-drag bases around for townhall 8. I've found that they work well in preventing a 3 star. Try that out.

And, you should stop complaining cause mass-dragon is just another strategy.. Drags are costly, and thus the strategy is pretty balanced.

First off - if someone wants to spend 360,000 elixir on 10 dragons, plus 3 rage spells and only win 300k elixir from their battle then that's their loss. War is about stars (and now about XP). So let them. What's stopping them from using all Pekka? Do you want GOWIWI and GOWIPE banned as well when they 3 star you?

I agree with all of this. All of it. And I don't use all dragon attacks. The part I agree with the most is the last part. I made a seperate thread about dragon ai. But, this idea to limit dragon attacks is stupid. Dragons are pretty expensive and stupid, if you want to use all dragons, go ahead. Limiting this is limiting the players ability to control how they want to attack.

[TintJunkie]

I used drags when I hit th7, and the beginning of th8. Most players do the same, or use hogs. Maybe once you get out of late th6 you will use drags too.

Wonder if you will complain about GOWIPE or GOWIWI once that combo destroys your base.

Funny how these things are brought up. People always want to destroy other bases with whatever is cooked, but if you get destroyed by something different, its all of the sudden a problem.

[chickenwarlord]

People state this everyday in fact dragons can use a buff so if you want to stop dragon attacks one simple word UPGRADE

[ShaneHed13]

Man when I first started on these forums, I would get irritated with mods or veterans complaining to people about posting the same stuff over and over again... starting to understand a bit more. I guess time here makes a person more jaded...

[kmsoji]

They do limit how many dragons you can attack with.. it takes 20 housing space so you are limited to 10! changing the housing on a dragon to 60 (to get the 3 you suggest) would be really a bad idea, alternatively if you just make it so you can only have 3 dragons but they still take 20 then you have created a really stupid dynamic because other mass use troops are more powerful anyway..

as others have said dont cry, just research and fix your base and use the attack yourself if you need sure stars. and if you really hate it then get out of TH 8 and you wont see them 3 star you ever again... (even a th 8 with max storages AD and archer and telse towers shouldnt get 3 starred by dragons any more) the dragons are useful from th 7 untill mid th 8, after that they kinda suck, if anything they need a buff not a nerf.

[theo15]

AS IF! Ha!!! All you kids must use dragons all the time in war. It takes absolutely NO skill to use a dragon attack and anyone who does is honestly pathetic. Dragons should take up even more housing spaces. Why in the world would a th9 want to use dragons after all the new troops you can research? I swear you are all completely clueless. I am absolutely sick of these all dragon attacks as well and for you MORONS saying upgrade, I'm not going to waste my hard earned money on this game like you idiots. So stop protecting your only way of attacking and learn to play the game because I'm completely sure all of you can't come up with a better attack strategy. Limit dragons, increase their housing space, decrease their damage, or increase the price.

As has been pointed out before-Dragon attacks are costly and it does take skill, I have spent no money on the game and my base can with stand a dragon attack-since its upgraded. If done wrong, dragon attacks will not 3 star people. Placement and other factors do matter.
