How many Lightning Spells does it take to destroy?
If you’re wondering how to demolish an Air Defense, an Air Sweeper, or an Eagle Artillery with Lightning Spells, this article has got you covered! In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the optimal number of Lightning Spells needed to destroy these notoriously hard-to-kill towers in Clash of Clans.
General Rule: It takes 3 or more Lightning Spells to take out an Air Defense of any level.
This information has been validated by esteemed CoC enthusiasts, like Jorge Yao, who has successfully used this tactic to reach the top of the global leaderboard. The sheer amount of damage dealt by three or more Lightning Spells (each with 400-800 damage) more often than not guarantees that you’ll have the satisfaction of seeing your opponent’s air defense crumbling to smithereens!
**_Important: However, if the Air Defense you’re attacking is powered with high-level upgrades (>TH10), you should upgrade your Lightning Spells level or consider adding more higher level Lightning Spells to do some serious damage.
Before you get carried away (no pun intended), consult our Quick Reference Tables, below.
| Structure | No. Lightning Spells | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Air Defense | 3/5/9 [more info below] [conditions apply] | Depending on the Air Defense upgrade and your own Lightning spell’s level |
Further Subdivision for Air Defenses:
- TH1-4: 3-4 levels of Lightning Spells with reasonable damage, but lower hp (450-520 hitpoints).
- TH5-9: 5-7 high-level Air Defenses (660-1400 hitpoints) call for a little more prep – either upgrade spell-level or wait for their timing.
