The Air Sweeper.\u00a0 The Air Sweepers use strong blasts of air to push back attacks from the air.\u00a0 They do no damage, and do not interfere with ground troops.\u00a0 That said, don\u2019t be fooled into thinking that because they can\u2019t damage your air attackers that they are harmless.\u00a0 They can really be devastating to an air attack, especially slower flying units.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.loyalknights.com\/airsweeperstrategy\/\">Avoiding Air Sweepers<\/a> is simple, attack from the other side.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.loyalknights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/air-bomb.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-679\" src=\"http:\/\/www.loyalknights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/air-bomb.png\" alt=\"air bomb\" width=\"551\" height=\"310\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So why am I even bothering to write this if it\u2019s that straightforward?\u00a0 Thing is, if you aren\u2019t careful when avoiding Air Sweepers, you could find yourself walking straight into a trap.\u00a0 Smart players will place Air Sweepers on their weak side to get you to attack their strong side.\u00a0 So then what?<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that Air Sweepers blow your attack back in a 120 degree arc, using blasts of air that cover 30 degrees.\u00a0 Because of this, it\u2019s not necessary to attack an Air Sweeper from the rear to avoid it, attacking from the sides can also be effective.\u00a0 Every setup has a weakness, the key is to find it so you can take advantage of it.<\/p>\n<p>If you must take on an Air Sweeper head on, arrange your Air Troops in an arc so that one or more of your Air Troops might get through while the Air Sweeper is distracted by the others.<\/p>\n<p>It goes without saying that as an Air Sweeper is upgraded, it gains power and will blow you back farther.\u00a0 So if you\u2019re attacking higher bases, a head on attack can potentially end your raid before you even begin.\u00a0 Just because the Air Sweeper doesn\u2019t do any actual damage doesn\u2019t make it harmless.<\/p>\n<p>One other thing to keep in mind, 3 star attackers are able to easily lure the enemy CC.\u00a0 This is particularly important to remember with a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.loyalknights.com\/3-star-th9-lavaloonian-by-sus\/\">LavaLoon<\/a>, because if you neglect the Lure, the enemy CC will be free to shoot down your Loons.\u00a0 Also, if you are using Minions to attack the enemy CC during your attack, they will follow the CC, potentially into the range of an Air Sweeper, where they may be blown into range of all kinds of defenses that can actually do damage.\u00a0 It\u2019s even possible you could lose your Minions without having done any damage at all to the enemy CC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s talk a little bit about a new defensive building &#8211;
