Actually I am a mere th8 :-)

I am close to maxing th8 ..all structures,traps maxed.. only 25 lv7 walls remain (rest 200 lv8 walls). Also, since all my DE research was maxed out, I made the mistake of upgrading the earthquake spell :( [this was before we had this discussion, upgrade still underway]

I do not have any jump spells, so I cannot comment on that regard. However, I did recently try 4 eq spells (+1 rage + 1 poison) in war with a gowipe attack against a close to max th9 (except for heroes lv15king, lv9queen) with clustered wall compartments (all walls lv9+, core walls lv10). Surprisingly, I almost 3 starred the base (there was an element of luck in the sense that almost none of my wizards ran into a GB & enemy cc troops were poisonable, i.e wiz,witches).

Thanks for the info that EQ has 8 tiles; I wasn't aware of it. This is not mentioned anywhere in the spell description, this wiki or in any of the youtube vids I saw (maybe I missed it). I was infact surprised at the amount of walls decimated by the 4 eq spells and thought that this was much more than what I had seen a jump spell do.

Anyway, I would never recommend them for any th8 for wall breaking purposes because of their DE cost. But what about the 20% rule .. as in ... use EQ for residual destruction? This is where things get interesting..


 * Let us consider mass(10) dragon attacks for TH8 ..
 * Poison isn't really necessary for mass drags. Infact cc troops serve to pull drags to center.
 * Let us say you drop 2 lvl 5 lightning on a lv6 AD... the resulting hp is 1050 - (420*2) =  210hp. Now, 210hp is exactly 20% of 1050. So, theoretically 2lightning +1 eq (regardless of level) must take out a lv6 AD. So, you can take out 1 AD altogether and still have a regular elixir spell to spare (which will most likely be a rage)!!
 * You would however, have to drop the lightning spells in the dead center, since we need exact 210hp left.
 * 1eq spell is completely justifiable for a th8 attack.
 * Similarly, for TH10s, you can take out two lv7 AD with 4lightning,2eq (+1poison leftover).

Anyway, I checked out your base. It looks awesome ! Any recommendations for me as I go to TH9 ?
