Air raids is Dead ?

[Ternic]

Why are people talking about multiplayer air raids? Who cares? I'm pretty sure that's not what the OP is talking about. People stick their TH out, make bases to primarily protect loot and mostly couldn't care less how many stars go against their base as long as their loot is mostly safe. And no, higher leagues where people loonian for 1 star don't count either, give me a break.

I just 2 starred a TH9 as a TH8 with barch in multiplayer, that doesn't mean it's an overpowered war strat.

Anyway to the OP's question, to me it feels like the airsweepers were pretty much targetting skilled war clans that were having a lot of success with lavaloons. Reason i say this is that they released the first AS, pretty much universally hated. Then they go, oh hey here's another!! Really seemed like it was solving an issue most of the clash world wasn't even aware of. In my war experience(and i suspect many others) lavaloon raids were a 3 star strat but risky as you gave up a sure 2 star with goxxxx for a possible 1-0 star if you goofed. I will freely admit i'm only 1 person, so i can't speak for the whole clash world but from what i saw the vast majority of clans were not seeing non-stop lavaloon 3 stars by max TH10's. What i've seen the result of the 2 hair dryers is EVEN more goxxxx 2 star TH10 wars. We really didn't need any more of that. Not a fan

Air isn't dead. However i would definitely say ground is way more popular. I'm in titan 2 and when I get hit on defense by air I'm actually surprised. Most of the attacks against me are a horde of golems with wiz backup and a bunch of jumps. It's almost always a one star at least. There are people in the league using air. I do myself. I just see the ground raids 10 xs more.

Level 5 drags are OP for top players lol. They can 2 star any base without heroes

Strange how he knew exactly when to drop the poison on those air skellies. Even stranger that he held off and didnt poison the cc troops. I guess any raids easy when you get to keep trying it until you get it right.

don't agree with that part. i don't know which top players are using ground. For pushing lavaloon is still the no 1 choice.

Which tooth fairy told you that? lol! More 90% pushers use GoWiPe variants for pushing. Get your facts right before you post.

Yah! Someone 3*s a th9 base and air raid is back?! OP is talking about th10 air attack and you posted a th9 attack!! WOW! Some people!! And even if you show a th10 3* using air attack, doesn't mean air attack is very much viable.

So, 1. READ before you post, 2. Don't post useless things after reading.

Air Raids aren't dead. They just take a lot more skill than deploying 3 lava hounds and a row of balloons with some rage spells. The Air Sweeper gave more diversity for defences and now air raids require a lot more thinking than they used to. Air Raids at TH10 used to be really overpowered, so they added the air sweeper to nerf it. Now, ground attacks are way too over powerful, so I'm sure Supercell will add a new defence that makes ground attacking even harder.

Anybody order a ground sweeper?

How about a new hidden def that only attack ground troops. Similar to StarCraft's Zerg unit, Lurker.

Nice attack, but honestly, with lvl 30 heroes on a TH9 base, I could already 3* any base using rage spell long ago. Not sure haste spell are bringing that much more to the game... Still waiting to see valid use of haste spells against maxed TH10. All I can tell you is that I have been trying it myself (not one raid but more than 50 raids) and I'm still not convinced.
