“How much Lightning Spells can destroy an Air Defense?” is one of the most popular questions of Clash of Clans players. You need to know this If you want to use the Dragons attack strategy perfectly. In this strategy, you use 3 Lightning Spells to destroy an Air Defense and drag Dragons in a line to destroy the base. But both Air Defenses and Lighitning Spells have 6 different levels, so how exactly does it work?
The table below will show you a pack of 3 Lightning Spells can attack a certain Air Defense.
| 3 x Lightning Spells | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Level 4-6 |
| Air Defense | Level 3 | Level 5 | Level 6 | All |
To remove an Air Defense with 3 spells like the table above shows, you need to drop the Lightning exactly on the Air Defense. It is quite easy to do that, you just need to use your 2 fingers for zooming in and use them!
Useful
Thank you so much!
I have level 2 LS. Is it enough to destroy level 1 AD using 1 LS only?
Hi Gwyn,
I haven’t tested it yet but I think you don’t need to do that.
Wrong. Maybe Supercell changed the numbers, but lightning spells don’t deal 100% dmg on the point you dropped the spells on, therefore Lv. 3 lightning spells won’t even kill off a Lv. 5 AD
I tried it in war and lost my attack because of it (was banking on removing the 3rd AD)
Did you zoom in to drop them more exact?
Absolutely. I just held my finger down, didn’t triple tap
That’s weird. I never miss a level 5 AD with level 3 Lighting Spells. You can try again and you can see.
yesterday i used 3 level 3 spells and successfully
destroyed level 5 ad
/how many lvl. 4 lightning spells that can take down a lvel 4 AD
You need to use 3 Lightning Spells buddy!
I have lvl 4 lightening and always been able to take out up to ad 6 with x 3 lightening, if your not taking it out, your not dropping dead on
Ya, 3 level 4 Lightnings can take down any Air Defense. That’s awesome.
Can i use two lv4 lightning spell to destroy lv3 air defense?
I haven’t tested this yet. I am so sorry buddy!
i have my LS lv 4 can i use 2 to destroy AD lv 4
No you can’t buddy, you need to use 3 spells.
i have lvl3 spell can i used to attack airdefence lv1
You can but it’s not worth it at all buddy!
i’m currently on th6 now. and my oppenent has level3 air def, will 2 lvl 4 lightning is enough to destroy the air def? my spell fac’s capacity is only 2 spells.
Hi, you shouldn’t use Lightning Spells in this case. Healing Spells are much better buddy!
i got it, thanks buddy
You are very welcome mate. Just ask me whenever you need help!

There are 3 AD’s of level 6 next to each other. Can I take all those three AD’s by dropping 3 Lightning spells of level4 on the middle one?
You can destroy them all If you have 1 more Earthquake Spell Sai!

Hmm it is not that bad because you can take down 1 AD and also can deal damage to all ADs nearby :D. That’s great!
Haha ok coool. Will let you know the result after my battle day begins. :p
Nice. Good luck with this Clan War Sai!
Hey bro. I have got another problem. Whenever I click on my facebook friends in my game, the game immediately gets closed. Why is that happening so? Any idea?
I faced this problem before. Can you try to remove your Facebook app?
I removed and again installed. The result is the same my bro 🙁
Please don’t try to reinstall. Does it work fine without the Facebook app mate?
It does work good even with the facebook app unless and until I click on ‘Friends’ in the Game. . Well, I wont check for my friends now. 😉
I mean “Can you open the Friends menu when the Facebook app is removed” :D..
Lol didnt try this one. ? And bro, You seem to be interesting for me as a perfect guide. If this game was an art, you are a Picasso of it. *_*

Hey brother! Suppose all the buildings are destroyed and only the barb king is at the defending side and hogs at the attacking side. Will those hogs try to kill the king?
Yes, they will hit the King for sure!
Cool. Thanks mate.
You are very welcome dude!
Hey bro! We are on 10vs10 war. We have done 29 stars and cant do 30 stars. Same are the opponenst facing. But our Total destrustion is 96.90% whereas their total destruction is 95.90%. I have one of my attack left. I want to go for loot. So tell me, will our destruction get decreased if I use my attack on an already 3 starred base?
No, don’t worry mate. It always counts the best attack!
Yep bro. We won that one. Thanks for the reply 😉 Tell me, In which clan may I find you in COC?

How you man? Long time no touch.
Can I destroy Level 3 Air defense with “2” (level 4) Lightning Spells?…then i can use my other spell for healing ?
No, you will need 3 Lightning Spells mate!
Can i destory lvl 4 ad with 1 light spell lvl 5 + lvl 1or 2 earth quake spell
No you can’t do that mate. Please take a look at here: http://cocland.com/tricks-and-tips/zapquake-combo
You sure 3 level 4 can destroy level 5? Just did an attack in which a level 5 ad was next to a mortar so i dropped the 3 lights in the middle and the mortar got destroyed but ad remained standing. Maybe i have to drop it right on top of the AD for higher level AD’s? BTW, my lights were level 4.
You will want to drop the Lightnings right on the Air Defenses, not between them!
Just that a lot of ppl say that drop it in between and it’ll destroy 2 stuff, but meh. I’ll be sure to drop it on top of the Air Defenses from now on! Thanks!
Good luck further buddy!
Thank you!
