Why The Air Defense Became So Hated In Clash of Clans...

[Disfunctional]

I've been reading the comments and I feel like I probably worded what I was trying to say wrong. I'm not necessarily saying that the air defense is useless because it is weak, since it is one of the strongest things against air troops, but i'm saying it's useless because you can just lightning spell all 4 of them, meaning they can't function and are therefore "useless" in the battle. Plus, the lava hounds can also distract them long enough for them to be unable to do much damage to the balloons, which once again makes them almost "useless" in that situation. Sorry for any confusion, just thought I'd clear that up.

So apperantly being a high priority target that you NEED to dedicate your entire spell slot to get rid of all 4 is useless...

Tbh the air defense is really important in my eyes

[freddymurry]

Just because people destroy them using lightning spells doesn’t make them useless in those levels, infact it’s more useful, the spells used on the air defenses can’t be used on the other air targeting defenses, if you didn’t have air defenses then those buildings that target both become the new target of the spells or they start using more rage spells or something

[Otzkar]

so you did admit that the air defence is really strong. if your opponent has to spend all his spell slots to destroy your air defence isnt that a just because they are so strong? dealing 500 dmg to air troops wile getting +40 or +60 damage per upgrade is a roi that almost no other tower offers espeacially when compared to stuff like the archer towers or teslas which can only gain +10 damage per upgrade. theres a big reason why most people focus on their air defences before upgrading stuff like mortars, canons, archer towers or teslas. honestly I think you kinda missed the mark on this one even tho a lot of your early game complaints ring true

Disfuncional in 2027 be like: why the grass is so HATED in clash of clans?

Worst CoC take I've heard in a while. Who hates air defenses? Never heard anyone complain, and I play the game 10 years. It is a good defense with a unique function that does its job well.

When you get 3-Stared by 5 Electro dragon spam attacks in a row, you will very quickly want to upgrade air defence 🤣

[marceloasensiofilho]

With how the Air defense are rockets it could make sense to have them deal area damage to troops. It would make them more usefull against Baloons and dragons

[somerandomguy]

No clue what this guys talking about, air defenses do 500 damage per second, they are definitely very good. The problem at hand is that instead of a diverse ways of defense for ground (such as bombs towers, cannons, and mortars), they needed to make up for the fact that those didn’t target air, so they have one defense which does a ton of damage to balance it out, which can be considered poor design at worst. Either way though, it works out just fine, and this video is sorta pointless.

2:56 “most of the time you don’t even notice the air defense”
also the air defense dismantling the entire attack alone:

[pengplays]

They’re so good that you have to spend the first part of your attack full focusing them, because if you don’t, you’re guaranteed to fail. The point in this video is nonexistent

[wangstanation]

The air defense itself is not useless, just feels like it when it's been powercrept by so many other harder hitting defenses that can either hit harder or multi-target/does splash. Air defenses nowadays are used like the mortars: to annoy people who wants to funnel lol

[AlexanderRamirez-dmhp]

Am at town hall nine and I get sweeped by all types of attacks and my air stuff does nothing to them lava hounds cover and the balloons kill everything else

[jinx]

the fact that people spend all their spells destroying them shows that they are actually useful

[GragerX]

2:00 Looks like someone got rejected from art school 😭

Town hall 10 and up, the inferno tower makes you choose between wanting to freeze spell inferno towers and going for a ground defense or taking down 3 air defenses with 11 lightning spells but praying the inferno towers don’t shred your dragons.

[Zeka_SCCC]

People zapping out all 4 air defenses can actually be a good thing, as backwards as it sounds. The 2 main reasons for it is the obvious “attacker has no more spells after that” which means that the remaining scattershots, inferno towers, air xbows and the eagle all have free real estate to dumpster your army. The other reason is because lava hounds will just move from defense to defense, moving with the balloons or dragons instead of flying ahead to protect them like they’re supposed to. This results in air traps being far more effective since the chances of them being tripped by a lava hound is significantly lower since the hound is just moving inside the pack instead of ahead of it, thus not protecting shit

[mariapaulraj]

Air defence is pretty useless in my eyes considering that my defence log is full of dragon and ballon attacks

[byeguyssry]

Disfunctional: people dedicate 6 housing space of spells to take them down, so we can infer that they are useless and do nothing
