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

[@Disfunctional48925]

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.

[@kristofkalman2659]

The fact that you need to lightning them all for many air attacks proves how useful they are. Those are valuable spell slots you need to invest in destroying them.

[@ElectriczZ]

Change the title of the video since the air defense is everything but hated as you can see

[@therealdiplotator]

Something isn't useless just because there is a counter to it

[@sabyasachidas7058]

So in other words, they use up attackers spells which keeps other defences safe which if used properly can ruin the attack... In my view that already made them useful. If attacker starts zapping out infernoes, would you call them useless?

[@arsonexc]

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

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

Picking off the air defenses though reduces enemy firepower by a good extent. In TH12, destroying all 4 air defenses and spamming edrags with a rage gem warden can guarantee stars.

[@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

[@greg-un7bk]

But thats also why its kinda weak. You can just not deal with it by bringing zap making air troops even better

[@plant3202]

i see them like glass cannons they are really powerful if you forget to kill them, but they go down so easily that it’s not really a big deal. like you either choose to dump your spells into eagle artillery or inferno towers, or you dump spells into air defense. they are weak because of opportunity cost.

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.

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

[@mirac8803]

I mean, it's true... yes they are extremely strong, that's why people destroy them with lightning spells. But because this is such a common strategy, your air defences never really get to shine, in turn becoming "useless" In other words, them being so powerful that they are just destroyed right at the start of the game, makes them useless. You just get no use of them other than drawing all the lightning to them

@@JinLin-s8g In a way, it's both true and I get both views. Air defense is not useless in the way that attackers don't need to pay attention to it and can ignore it, and they are »powerful« in the way tbat they kinda force most players to use all lightning spells. However, that's simultaneously the problem... then their only use is being spell-bait in most attacks, and then they go swarming your base with air troops which your air defenses would obviously be very helpful against. I haven't really played CoC anymore in many years, only when I was quite young, and the game has changed a LOT since then of course. However, it does not feel really motivating to me to upgrade air defenses only for them to act as lightning spell-hotspots, just like how upgrading walls at some point is only for dumping recources if root riders can just stroll through them like shit xD

I don't think ADs are useless at all. They have enough power that they must have and that keeps a balance between attacks and defences. Increasing the ADs power will till the balance of power towards defences. I've been using lava loon since th9 and now I'm in th12. And my other rushed base is th14 and I use lava loon in that one as well.

[@wadyz]

i totally understand you and dont understand why people are hating. its only job is to defeat air attacks, and other buildings do its job better while also defending against ground attacks. overall great video, been binging your channel for a couple days now. keep up the great work.

[@danieltan7344]

one more thing is, at around th 10 or 11 I forgot, basically when you can use a max earthquake spell, instead of 3 zap per AD, you can use 2 zap and an earthquake and produce the same result, heck if they're inside the earthquake range, you can took out 2 AD with just 5 spell slot rather than 6, saving the other 5 for either full zaps again or something like rage or freeze to help with tactical situation

[@hippos7029]

If you can't reach to them they are so strong you have to take air defence or other defence also damaging

[@TomIsQuestionable]

A firecracker gear-up for one of your air defences could also help, assuming it doesn’t get lightning-spelled.

[@ViperDivinity]

they overbuffed air attacks so much because of zap. My base still get 3 starred even with 4 maxed air defense and spams dragon in one place with no funneling in TH9-10. In Th8 they have it even more rough, leaving only 1 air defense. Good thing it gotten so much better over time

[@Exquailibur]

I think increasing the hp and range of the air defense would make sense, doesnt need more damage it just needs to be more expensive to lightning it and a bit more range would help for obvious reasons.

[@XionAmakusa]

In my opinion, the lightning spell argument isn’t really fair since it costs attackers all but one or two spells depending on their town hall. If the defenses are spread out, no spell support can make destroying the rest of the base very difficult

[@spiked146]

they are not bad at all. Firstly, e drags are really base dependent, with a decent base you will evade any attempts of 3 starring from enemy e drag attacks. Wondering why pros dont spam e drags? They suck against actual good bases. Secondly, air defenses play a role not also in dealing damage but LURING the lava hounds to an no-so-great spot. This means that if you want to do a blizzard for example, and the air defenses are away from the th, you will not be able to get your blimp in the th, which means that your heroes have to take it (from a lalo perspective) since ballons are really vulnerable to the th defense. Finally, if, as you say, just use all your spells to blast through the AD's you will have to do an attack with little to no spells, which means that your troops become really vulnerable to heavier defenses like infernos, scatters etc... So i dont see where they are weak, they are certainly helpfull since you need to work around them or use tons of spells for them. (also using zaps for AD's doesnt work on a high level thats why you dont see anyone doing it in tournaments).

[@spiked146]

also another note, in higher th your AD's start to 2 shot ballons. This shows how the damage ratio that they receive is really good compared to what ballons get.

[@Arkangel3425]

Normally I agree with your videos or at least find them informative. But I disagree with this one. I've had many air attacks destroyed because I didn't target air defenses. I've also won multiple defenses because the attacker ignores or fails to funnel towards the air defense. Actually I end up using ground army's because I don't want to deal with it at all.

[@Gieroes]

(from the perspective of a current th10 player, upper town halls can give a different perspective than mine). down here the problem with the air defense is that they're just too powerful of a defense that they have to be taken out first in air attacks and this results in them becoming a priority in all air-based attacks. For dragons this often means enough zaps to take out 3 air defenses max then sending all of your troops towards the last one and taking it out first. rendering them obsolete besides taking up spell space for the rest of the attack . for blizzard/electrone lalo the strategy revolves around taking out at least 1 air defense minimum along cc and queen; while heroes attempt to take out another air defense. Failing to take out 2 air defenses minimum with the combination of heroes + blimp can result in failure as you have to use one hound alongside your blimp for reliable blimp results, leaving you only with 2 Air defenses remaining and 2 lava hounds. Air defenses are always a priority when attacking with air troops which is why they'll always seem to have the least impact in a battle in comparison to air sweepers, enemy eagle, inferno towers, and x bows which are taken out later in these attacks. Of course the strength of any defense is only as strong as the skill of the attacker, if you're skilled it doesn't matter if the enemy base is maxxed or if they have strong cc and high level heroes. 3 star capable players will always find a way to 3 star. In this game your base is at the mercy of the enemy's skill. PS and slightly unrelated but to help vs queen walks and queencharges: while queen charges arent't inherently an air attack the air defense isn't entirely useless vs queen charges when properly placed in a base. they should always be 5 tiles away from the queen so that the air defenses can snipe enemy healers while the queen can't reach them; having air defenses in adjacent compartments can help vs queen charges since the enemy will often only bring enough wallbreakers to only open one or 2 compartments exposing only one air defense while the other adjacent one can fire free attacks vs the enemy healers.

[@ok.astrollogy4756]

I actually dont mind E-Dragons.

At th11 I'm prioritising eagle , inferno, xbows, tesla, wizard, at last air defence. You know if the enemy is going air then they will likely zap it so it is useless to prioritise.

I wonder what our new siege machine will be

Not bothing to upgrade air defence is complete insanity! Air defense is super important

[@honeyjuice219]

imo air defenses are pretty balanced, of course signature defenses are stronger than it because signature defenses are key defenses while air defenses are stronger cannons for air troops. plus if you ignore them it becomes a huge problem so it doesn't need a damage buff. air defenses aren't meant to be special it meant to be a way to defend against air troops like cannons

MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT THE BUILDER BASEEEEEEEEE

[@connor530i]

fun fact they are even more useless at th8 or higher with the new spiky ball equipment because you can take down all of the air defenses for air attacks

[@adrianyiu8165]

At TH5 to TH6 air defenses can be taken out extremely easily with balloons(very ewsy 3 star) Use all lightning defense to tske out the AA closest to the base core Then send in 7 to 8 balloons as close to remainijg AA defense as possible, deploy remaining balloons near AA defense systems/close to the AA attack balloon squad Easy 3 star even at TH7 sometimes unless enemy has baby dragon in clown castle

[@karlbultrowicz932]

If the air defense so useless than why does every shock them? Why not knock out a multi inferno?

[@kirazswxrd2897]

We see a lot of e-drag spam nowadays, I think the air defences are hard counters to these troops, so I wouldn't call them "Useless"

[@deceptionception]

after 7 years of not playing the game, ive rushed my townhall to lvl 13, the first defence ive upgraded to max were the 4 air defences, ive never been 3 starred by dragons/edrags since.

To no TH 9, minhas defesas aereas não conseguem nem ver as tropas aéreas, por que já estão destruidas antes mesmo de começar o ataque

[@literatureandgaming-yt9352]

There's like... For me at least, tons of wrongs here already. Well yes, they could be annihilated by spells. So how about the other ones? And even if you can destroy other major defenses. If there is a Air defense left against an air attack the attack (if and only if there are still left-over buildings to tank) will still lose because of the fact that the air defense will destroy each remaining troop. I have those experiences like all the time and probably many players too. About dragons and other strong air troops. We are talking about many things on how they feel useless. Base Design, Level of Air defense V.S Level of Dragon, and The attacking player's skill. The Lightning spell? It's a Risk V.S Reward, you can destroy the air-defense but there's no support spells for the actual attack. It's now based on the Base design and comparison of levels. I know there is minimal funneling is used but still. It still depends on The Attacking Player's Skill.

1:58 is that a swastika base. Ngl im inspired for my next base design

[@equalopportunityoffender1816]

I swear they used to be unlocked at th5 back in like 2013 or 14. Maybe its just the mandela effect.

[@chaseb.4811]

Being easier to counter doesn’t equal useless by any means.
