[Poll] The Lightning Spell Problem Needs to be Addressed

[JackST]

It's a problem, Supercell. A doggone problem. You save up 40,000 dark elixir like it's nothing. You raid for hours and skillfully place down your troops in an arc around the base to thieve the opponent's dark elixir in a skillful and honest fashion. You go to the bathroom. You come back. You log on to Clash of Clans. You throw your phone on the ground because some [expletive] decided that he should lightning spell your dark elixir. You train up a GoWiPe, a mass dragon, a hog army, and hit the red Revenge button. You'll show this sucker who's the boss around here.

"This player has an active shield."

And, so, fellow Clashers, I direct you to a video. No, he may not be the first to think of it. But, he is probably the most famous. I lead you to Clash of Clans with Cam's YouTube video:

Teslas are long, tall pieces of metal. Lightning is electric. So, doesn't it make sense that the tesla would absorb the damage from a lightning spell. This would prevent people from zapping our hard-earned dark elixir and make people earn it the real way, thus making the game more skill-based.

Supercell, you always seem to want to reward the skilled, the hard-working, the patient. Mass drag too overpowered at TH10? Add a new air defense? LaLoon too good? Add an air sweeper? Hogs too overpowered? Giant bombs inflict more damage too them.

These attack strategies are still viable, it just makes the more skilled and hardcore community the ones that are using them correctly. So, please, Supercell, accept this idea. Allow teslas to absorb lightning spell's damage. It would make for a better community, a more relaxed community, and more people wanting to learn about how to farm correctly, thus leading to more people wanting to learn about the game andbecome that hardcore player. More active players? More income for Supercell.

Lightning is expensive and there are far cheaper ways to get to your hard earned Dark Elixir. Its not a "doggone problem," its a game

Meh, let them waste 100k+ elixer on spells for a little DE

[awesomness2016]

No, the problem is people who want to drop down to gold or silver so they can get easy loot, and then complain when they get their DE zapped by players who have no other way to attack them.

The way to address this problem is to stop complaining and trophy up to crystal, where real players attack with real armies, and your TH is actually worth sniping if it's out.


That or just ban these threads.

its a legit in-game method so just think of it as paying the loot forward. i assume you steal most of your resources too right? otherwise, just use more gems to buy a shield. people should shut up about this already - just makes the complainer seem weak.

On a bad day, one can lose >10k DE. It does not matter if they waste their elix on the spells coz in the end you'll end up with less elix. Those who say they are losing very little DE are obviously either low TH or have little DE in their storage or are doing it themselves.

Urge SuperCell does something to address this problem. Clash With Cam has suggested using teslas to absorb the lightning. Very logical and doable. So please do this in the next update.

Huh? The only people who think this is a problem are the players who artificially lower their trophies to loot easy bases with cheap armies.


I'm a max TH9 who has been in crystal since early TH8 with my TH almost constantly out. I have probably been zapped 10-15 times in this game ever. Because hardly anyone zaps once you get to crystal, and if your TH is out you're only offline without a shield for a matter of minutes.

Also I hate to break it to you BUT THIS IS RULED OUT.

10k is nothing. Trust me drills at max level almost make this themselves daily.

as for the second statement
hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I'm sitting on 100k plus all the time. Heros do get quite pricey later. And I rarely get any lightning strikes. (Gold 1 currently- life has me otherwise occupied) I'm far to informed to waste my time dropping lightning on bases. Waste of time and resources. Far more effective ways of gathering the dark stuff. One day you'll learn these things.

[Drackos]

Push cups. I've yet to get zapped one time in crystal 2 running 30k de at times. If you wanna hang with the zappers; then it's only appropriate you get to deal with their behavior. It's your own fault.
