There are 2 things I have noticed at Th8

1. Th9s constantly crush you with simple tier 1 armies like batch and gibarch

2. Th8 doesn't have their own special defense (th5-wizard tower, th6- airsweeper, th7- hidden Tesla, th9- xbow, th10- infernos).

Although you may say "town hall 9s are suppose to be able to crush th8s" I COMPLETELY AGREE. However, I don't think th9s should be able to 3 star th8s with those simple strategies. They should at least have to use large compositions like hogs, lavaloonion, and go wipe to take them down guaranteed not gibarch.

Brand New Defense! Shockwave!

Description: This defense is a huge cylindrical mallet that smashes into the ground creating mass destruction to troops! The closer the troops are to it the more damage they take! The defense creates a shockwave that travels in all directions (in an airsweeper fashion). It is unlocked at th8 and a second one is unlocked at th10. It only attacks ground troops but doesn't affect giants, golems, pekkas, heroes, or valks.

FYI: It has a range similar to an archer tower

It does about 25 damage per shot and fires every 7 seconds

The main point of this defense is to target weaker smaller units while other defenses are distracted on tanky troops

This spell goes well with my other idea the Splitter Spell check it out!
