Lightning spells on dark elixir deposit

[FrnkenStein]

Hello, I've had annoyances to protect my deposit of dark elixir some players simply comes with lightning spells and take about one thousand to two thousand by simply playing a skill, with no way to defend and thinking that I had an idea, why not make the tesla towers absorb the damage from lightning spells?
I'm pretty sure someone has already thought of it, because it makes a lot of sense
And don't need to be totally absorbed, just a percentage of the damage. and consequently the tesla tower get overloaded and stop working (but still counting as a building to be destroyed)...

Thank you guys ! Cya !

Oh! I almost forgot, if i wrote something wrong forgive me, i do not write well in english. My natural language is portuguese

Zapping DE is very good for the overall game. SC has no intention of changing it (link in my sig to their reply). Search for the word "zapping" or just look through the first 3 pages of this forum. You will find it explained many many times very quickly.

Allowing guys to be able to zap DE is good for the health of the game. they should not change that.

If you mean what you say that you prefer being attacked then just move up in trophies and you will get your wish.

Yes, people have thought of it: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=tesla+absorb+li...Asupercell.net

And no, it's a bad idea.

No worries. The fact that you went back and looked at the forum rules after the fact puts you miles ahead of most "fresh spawn". This is a request we see added several times every day. Most of us have tactful, helpful responses ready. With a little quick searching you will find many larger posts explaining the beneficial dynamics of zapping to the overall game . . . even if it doesn't benefit you (or me currently).

Sorry, but zapping is good for the game. Sorry for my horrid english.

No. Zapping DE is a perfectly legitimate strategy of gaining DE.
If it annoys you that much, just revenge them and get it back.
It takes lots of elixir to train the spells, so it isn't a very effective strategy.

My best advise is to not sit on a lot of DE, and to upgrade your DE storage as much as possible.

I have a lvl 3 DE storage, that can hold 40k DE. Right now my BK is lvl 6 and only needs 25k for the next upgrade, but I am upgrading my DE storage to lvl 4 right now, and the upgrade will be complete tonight.

I am nowhere close to hitting 40k DE in storage, so I won't need the upgrade for quite a while, but the upgrade is to act as a defense against lightning. Since the higher level DE storage has more HP, lighting does less damage to it (as a percent of total damage dealt), so less DE is taken.

I plan to upgrade to level 5 and 6 DE storage as well early on when I hit TH9.

I don't frequently lightning DE storage (only when I have to get rid of lightning spells so I can get rage spells for war), but when I do I will target DE storage. I will try to attack the lowest level DE storage I can because I know that a level 6 DE storage with 40k in it would give me less DE than a level 3 with 40k.
