Make lightning spells do something or just replace them

[Stiehl9s]

Then you must be a th 7.


For th 8-10 they are pointless

I would like to see a buff that lightning spells take out defences perhaps keep damage constant but add a "favorite target" like hogs.

1 per morter/WT/AT/Cannon
2 per ad
3 per x bow
4 per inferno

zaps are not pointless for th8. constantly see them used to 3 star other th8's with drags and loons

In titans I'm far more likely to win a defence if they're using earthquake. The only below 40% I got hit by the past month was by someone using earthquakes too. So its either earthquake sucks, or people who use earthquake tend to suck.

If you look at the numbers there's no good reason to give up an extra spell slot for meagre damage against other structures, and the extra tile from jump spells is hardly ever useful either.

Only useful to people who like to see walls collapse.

a few defensive wins doesn't prove they are worthless. maybe just the few you've seen use them have not known how. Like I said, my clan is scoring more 3 star war attacks than ever using quake.

Imp zapping was a legit way for lower levels to actually hurt the super high town halls that would pick on them. I remember many a time as a th7 I would revenge town hall 10s who attacked my with lightning and got loads of DE. And all of you who say they r good for air defs, they are not on the higher levels. It's pointless to spend all your spells kill one air def when they have 4. Rage or healing gets you much further. I spent a lot of many upping lightning spells and now it seems like it's all gone to waste.

Man I wish more th10s attacked me as a th7. Even with full storages they would get almost no loot from me.

lol so you cry because you dont know how to farm DE . your tears are so delicious . 2 lightnings can take out a Mortar or a Wizz tower -very usefull for high lvl Barch or for air attacks to take out Air defenses . The day when zapping DE was disabled was the happiest day of my COC-Life it will never come back learn to deal with it and try GiBARCH to get DE .

Past mid TH8, Lightnings are only useful in very rare circumstances: high-end barch and high-end dragon combos. Few people use these strategies.

I haven't brewed one since I got my DSF upgraded to level 3.

It would be good if either the damage was increased, or they were made to take one spell slot. Otherwise, it's now the most pointless thing to use/upgrade in the game in my opinion. Even my Goblins will get upgraded before Lightning.

Like everything in the game Lighting Spells have their uses. They can be used for example to take out a mortar for BArch specialists. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwBrC2c6vyE

I hope this helps you understand where the Lightning spell can fit in the game. Also please keep in mind that it is the first spell you unlock and thus it is a little unfair to say it is useless now as it may still be very useful to lower level players.

You can get 50%, You can lighting air defense, est.

[RustyArmoredPEKKA]

Zap ADs for Giant-Healer and mass drags, zap mortars for Barch, zap collectors, and zapping gemboxes.

Must be fresh 8's. Because against decent 8's you will never 3 star using lightnings.

[Tvsever]

Fresh th8s & th7s need spells to, the entire game isn't made so everything will be perfect for exactly where you are right at this moment

[PeanuttWildy]

I use them on air defenses

Me too when im dragloon raiding
