Level 1-5 |
Summary
- The Flying Fortress is a troop in the Clan Capital, available when the Flying Fortress Yard is rebuilt (this requires a level 2 District Hall in the Balloon Lagoon district, and by extension Capital Hall level 5). It is an air troop with very high HP that spawns Skeleton Gliders as it is damaged and a large number of Skeletons when it is destroyed.
- Flying Fortresses prioritize defensive structures above all other targets, and will bypass all other types of enemy buildings and troops while any defenses remain on the battlefield. This is true even if they are under attack by enemy troops stationed in defense posts (Super Giant, Raid Cart, and Super Dragon Posts). Note that the defense posts themselves are not considered defensive buildings, regardless of whether or not their stationed troops are still alive.
Once all defenses are destroyed, Flying Fortresses become like any other troop with no preferred target; they will attack the nearest building to them regardless of type, and will turn and attack enemy units if they become aware of any nearby and can fight back against them.
Strategy
Offensive
- Treat a Flying Fortress like how you would treat a Siege Machine in the Home Village. Although not containing any Clan Castle troops, the Flying Fortress can be used to wipe out most defenses alone.
- Consider supporting a Flying Fortress with Rocket Balloons. The Flying Fortress can soak up defensive fire for the Balloons, allowing them to quickly devastate defenses and cover the Flying Fortress in return. This works especially well when tackling Air Defenses and Rapid Rockets, both specialized anti-air defenses that can deal significant damage to either when used on their own.
- One should be wary when attacking an Inferno Tower, as the single-target damage can quickly destroy the Flying Fortress. Consider having a Lightning Spell or two on hand to stun the Inferno Tower and reset its damage; if Hog Raiders have been unlocked, they provide a situational (but longer-lasting) alternative in the Hog Glider's stun.
- If the Flying Fortress is damaged beforehand and has released Skeleton Gliders, the Gliders and their spawned Skeletons can distract the Inferno Tower momentarily. Should the Flying Fortress continue to sustain damage via other sources (such as a nearby Air Defense) and release more Gliders, these spawns can continue to stall the Inferno Tower and possibly prevent it from locking on until they run out.
- The Skeletons spawned upon destruction of the Flying Fortress can prove useful in stalling point defenses to help you achieve extra percentage.
- If the district has 85% or more destruction, a Flying Fortress attack can prove useful in getting extra Capital Gold as well as the bonus attack.
Defensive
- Inferno Towers can devastate a Flying Fortress easily; however the Skeletons that the fortress spawns can in return destroy Inferno Towers without a struggle. Be sure to keep splash defenses/traps (or a Super Wizard Tower) around to deal with the horde of Skeletons.
- Space the anti-air defenses (Air Defenses and Rapid Rockets) evenly around the district; if an area is too light on such defenses while being too ground-heavy, it can prove inviting for a Flying Fortress-based attack.
