Clash-of-clans – When two dragons fight over a base to the buildings below them get damaged

clash-of-clans

Scenario: Attacking a base with a dragon. A dragon comes out of the defender's clan castle and they battle over the top of the base.

Question: While the dragons are fighting, is my dragon also doing splash damage to the buildings below?

Best Answer

No because the Dragon can only have splash damage against a cluster of enemy troops/walls. A quote from the Clash of Clans Wiki:

Dragons have no preferred target when attacking; they will simply attack the closest building to them. However, once they become aware of enemy Clan Castle troops, Heroes or Skeleton Trap skeletons (either by being attacked themselves or being near another friendly troop under attack), they will leave their previously targeted building and engage the enemy troops instead. Once all of the nearby enemy troops are defeated, they will proceed to attack the nearest building from their current location.

Which means that if it targets enemy clan castle troops, it can only damage the targeted clan castle troops and any other troops near enough to the targeted one and is of same level (ground or air). This means that when attacking air clan castle troops, the splash damage will never affect the buildings below it.
