CLASH OF CLANS Air Defense – Level Upgrade Strategy
CLASH OF CLANS Air Defense. In Clash of Clans, the Air Defense is the only tower in Clash of Clans that exclusively targets air units. Despite its inability to hit ground units, the Air Defense tower is one of the most important defensive structures in Clash of Clans. It has by far the highest damage per second of any tower (aside from a charged up Inferno Tower) and a very long range. The Air Defense is essential for protecting the player against high threat, high health air units like the Dragon and Healer. We will see different level of COC Air Defenses, their hit points and damage. We will also see the best strategy for placing Air Defenses in your Farming and War Base.

Clash of Clans Air Defense Defensive Strategy
- Air Defenses should generally be placed towards the center of your base, preferably behind at least one set of Walls. Its long range allows the Air Defense to attack from far behind other structures.
- A common strategy for Town Hall 8 and above is to position them in a spread out triangle formation (or diamond, once the fourth Air Defense is available) around the Town Hall.
- If possible, keep your Air Defenses behind your first lines of defense (e.g. Cannons and Archer Towers). Ideally there will be a Wall in between. This will prevent Giants or Golems from quickly destroying the Air Defense and allowing a Healer to be deployed early in the battle. The longer it takes the Giants to destroy the Air Defense, the more time your defenses will have to thin out your opponents troops before a Healer can be safely deployed.
- The Air Defense is a popular first target for armies using ground troops, as they are one of only two defensive structures that cannot target them (the other being the Air Sweeper). It is important that they are defended well and they will help to keep the skies clear from Balloons, Dragons, Healers, Lava Hounds and Minions.
- Air Defenses are there for when Archer Towers and Wizard Towers are distracted by ground units.
- Lava Hounds target Air Defenses first, so make sure you defend it well with other defenses which target air troops or by placing Seeking Air Mines just outside the Air Defenses to reduce the hit points of the Lava Hound.

Clash of Clans Air Defense Offensive Strategy
- Clash of Clans Air Defense is a natural target to attack first, as clearing them helps pave the way for an air assault. Healers are very vulnerable to the Air Defense so it is a good strategic move to destroy this building with Giants before deploying her. They are easily destroyed by any ground-based troop type.
- It is advisable to keep Balloons away from an Air Defense, as they are capable of destroying Balloons in one or two hits from a great distance.
- Although Air Defenses are quite effective against Dragons, it is possible to keep an Air Defense occupied with a Dragon or two long enough for a fleet of Balloons to quickly destroy a majority of the ground defenses.
