    Is there a use for the lighting spell anymore?

    My lightning spells are currently level 4 and I'm a max th9 with only 60 skulls left. (I decided not to go lava because of the earthquake, no point really anymore but that is not the subject of this thread that's my choice). But I want to max EVERYTHING before I go to TH10 but I'm wondering if it's even worth it anymore. I mean that's a lot of elixer for basically something I will never use due to the poisen, and you can't zap DE anymore. Is it even worth it? I just feel like the Lightning is in the Stone Age of COC now and it's something to look back on, not really a vital tool now.

    i probably won't upgrade it but I just wanted to start a discussion about it.

    I've seen Galadon use it in his "Super Dragoon" video to take out one AD on max TH10s but not sure if you need to upgrade from where you are for that to work.

    Yup, now all I use is poison for cc. Lightning seems useless now

    I know its not the point of this thread, but im curious how with the addition of the quake your abandoning walls? At some point during an attack, troops will hit some form of wall. It might not make a difference in 9/10 attacks but it will make a difference at some point.

    Lightning is still widely used at lower TH levels to drop an air defence. Even as a TH9 i sometimes use it. Its effective against buildings more so than quake spells. It just so happens this never helps an attack after TH9 as much as it can TH8 and down.

    If you're an advanced TH9 then the answer is probably no...in terms of use that is.

    If maxing for prestige is your gig though, place it well down the priority list and come back to it someday

    Good point about taking down the AD. I didn't even think about that but I think I can still take down a max AD with lvl 4 spells.

    Lightning spells might have become useless for high lvl ( th8+) players but they're still of the same importance to the low level ( th7-) players. Players with town hall 7 and less have to still use light spells to kill the cc troops.

    I also use it for BArching - really helpful at M1 if you have that dreaded 47% and no troops left.
