Talk:Lightning Spell/@comment-26669139-20150713144741

In a recent war, we used 3 level 4 lightning spells on a level 7 air defense. A level 7 has 1110 hitpoints and 3 lvl 4 spells are supposed to do 1170 damage to the center point of the spell. According to WIKI, the center point gets full damage. The air defense was not destroyed and we did not win that attack and subsequently lost the war. I contacted SuperCell and their answer is that the lightning spell is completely random and the center does NOT get a fixed amount of damage. So why would anyone use a spell that was not reliable or consistent? This is frustrating. Has anyone else had this problem. This has happened in two different wars.
