"Shocking! Enemy troops caught in the area of effect are briefly stunned and unable to move or attack."

Summary

  • Shock Mines are traps that will be triggered when troops are with close proximity.
  • Shock Mines are first unlocked upon reaching Headquarters level 21.
  • Shock Mines will shock troops in its area of effect which render them immobile and unable to attack.
  • Shock Mines also deal minor damage to troops in its area of effect.
  • Shock Mines are visible to attackers.
  • Shock Mines reappear after every attack on your base. You never have to rebuild them.
  • Shock Mines are upgraded using the Armory.
  • Statues do not increase the Shock Mine's damage dealt or shock duration.
  • There is a short delay between when the Mine is triggered and when it detonates.

Offensive Strategy

  • Like Mines and Boom Mines, you can trigger them using Artillery, Barrage, and Critters.
  • Grenadiers can trigger Shock Mines with their grenades, so Shock Mines are very unlikely to come into play if you use Grenadiers throughout the attack.
  • When using Warriors, Shock Mines located on the preferred path can easily be taken out of the equation with GBE. However if singled out mines appear within a tile of any building on the path, it is best to Flare to that building and drop a Smoke on it so the Warriors can group up and recover from the shock before the next Flare is deployed.

Defensive Strategy

  • Place them away from defenses that are likely to be attacked by Artillery and Barrage before troops are deployed, in order to prevent attackers from triggering them prematurely.
  • Place Shock Mines away from each other to prevent several from getting destroyed at the same time.
  • Never place a Shock Mine next to or within one tile of the Headquarters, as when Warriors reach the building under a Smoke Screen the shock duration will not outlast the Warrior's cover, and they will all hit in unison like normal.

Upgrade Differences

  • There are no visual changes as the Shock Mine is upgraded.
  • As the Shock Mine is upgraded, its damage increases by approximately 10% and the shock duration increases by 0.5s per level.
