Eagle Artillary secrets - Death of the air attackers

[GenieATwork]

So everybody doing mass golem spread n pray at TH10-11 has encountered an EA and found its not that big a deal , right ?
YTers say it needs a damage buff, but again Chief Pat , Galandon etc only as in ONLY do ground attacks, and never use a diversity of troops. just load enough golems and you plundrer every base .. Buffing EA in general will kill any other type of attacks!.


Many players think that other troops also could or should be used at an equal level, rather than just having 1 single viable strategy for high league attacks. Why even add new troops and encourage for new strategies, when Golem sweeps are way OP compared to anything else?

Whoever see a great valkyrie or hog attack in titan leagues anyore (as in ever). ?

Now AIR ATTACKS (lavaloon / dragloon) also will perrish!:

The last 5 updates has all been hurting AIR (especially Lavaloon) ,

*Faster Archertowers
*higher AT level
*1x Airsweeper
*2x Airsweeper
* new Wiztower levels (loons takes 2 zaps now, compared to 3 on level 8WT)
* Eagle artillary
* several nerf to lavahound and pups

So intruducing EA (Eagle), Supercell expected that we using "killsquards" and 2-3 step attacks. i TRIED that and experienced that EA, no mather how you deploy , ALLWAYS TARGET YOUR AIR UNITS.

heres how i tested :

scenery 1: Deploying 1 golem outside walls, close to EA ( or far away - same result) to attract fire. then deploying my main attack, Lavahounds, followed by loons and minions + Warden
EA ALLWAYS TARGET LAVAHOUND FIRST, WHEN THEY ARE DEAD, TARGET LOONS!

Scenery 2: Jump + golem + King and maybe even queen to funnel for EA + draw EA attention. shortly after initializing main strike: Lavaloon or DragLavaLoon. Again EA ignores golem and goes for Main air troops first, then heros.

Anyone doing Lavaloon / LAvaDragons knows, that a Lavahound only lasts for 5-10 seconds, leaving your main troops voulnable. With the EA targeting your Loons, it only takes 1 EA attack to kill your entire army.

With this "secret" detail discovered, almost every topplayer (topGlobal)(formerly using Lavaloon) has dropped air attacks and is "back" doing the same mass golem attacks as anybody .

as this thread is meant as info for you, it also is meant as a "WHY?!" to Supercell...

ps. try the golem + LAvaloon attack yourselve to see the EA attack-priorities..

I do notice it really hurts air raids, does little to ground attacks. It should have to be set to air or ground.

[facescraper]

They make more gems from heavy golem armies... why am I not surprised by any of this?

[GenieATwork]

its a big ♥♥♥ mortar, why can it target air units in the first place ?

I bold the part that I have never done, and hope you can change it and it makes work out better?
Is it the new thing to combine golem with lava now? instead of getting hit by air defend or ground defend you get hit by both and trigger all traps and you are complaining your attack fail? I always thought after the lava being introduced, air attack is easy 3 stars compare to gowipe? am I wrong, okay.

Of course you combine lava hounds and golems. You need a kill squad at th9+. I tell my guys in my clan who are th9+, if you aren't using a golem, you probably aren't planning the right attack. I assume you are a lower th level. You are pretty out of the loop if not.

The only 3 star th11 strategy I've seen so far is air attack. EA shoot way too slow and don't forget you always have freeze spell to counter it.

Oh TH9, get it. Try to get to TH10 and do real gowipe attack, it is fun and almost guarantee 2 stars on another TH10, of course the higher your heroes level the better.

Let's see your TH10 air attacks without golems.
