Practical Applications of the Lightning Spell
The strategic deployment of Lightning Spells can significantly impact the outcome of a raid:
- Eliminating Key Defenses: One of the most common uses is to destroy critical defenses like Air Defenses, Mortars, or Wizard Towers, particularly at Town Hall levels where their hit points align with the damage potential of a few lightning spells.
- Clearing Clan Castle Troops: A well-timed Lightning Spell can effectively damage or eliminate enemy Clan Castle troops once they are lured and grouped, paving the way for your main attacking army.
- Synergy with Other Spells: Lightning Spells are sometimes combined with an Earthquake Spell to take down tougher defenses. Earthquake Spells deal percentage-based damage to structures, making them an excellent complement to the fixed damage of Lightning Spells.
Accurately knowing the damage output of your spells allows you to calculate the precise number of spells required to remove specific threats, thereby making your attack strategies more efficient and successful.
