Thunderstorm

How to use it

Tap the Thunderstorm button in the specials column, then the area. It reaches up to 9 cells from the Thunderstorm and covers a circle with a radius of 3 cells. In 2.5 s, 5 bolts fall. Each one prefers an enemy bridge or building in the area. The Thunderstorm breaks bridge planks, towers don’t. In a Storm there are 3 more bolts. It recharges in 42 s. It needs two Lightning lights that cross: see Steles and light.

Strengths and weaknesses

Strong

• High damage, concentrated on a group of buildings.
• During a Storm it’s the strongest special in the game.

Weak

• Enemy Lightning Rods in the area take the bolts.
• The bolts fall at random inside the circle: on an area with little to hit they’re wasted.

Counter

A Lightning Rod next to your important buildings is enough. Keep your buildings a bit spread out: the Thunderstorm does less on targets far from each other.
