Strategy and Execution

1. Zap Quake:
   • Identify key defenses such as Inferno Towers, X-Bows, and Scattershots.
   • Use the 7 Lightning Spells and 2 Earthquake Spells to destroy these defenses. Make sure to position the spells to maximize damage and cover multiple defenses if possible.
2. Funneling:
   • Use the Wizards and Baby Dragon to create a funnel on either side of the entry point.
   • Deploy the Golems or Ice Golems to tank damage and establish a clear path for the Electro Titans.
3. Main Push:
   • Deploy the Electro Titans once the funnel is established.
   • Place the Healers to support the Electro Titans.
   • Deploy the Grand Warden in ground mode with the main group for his eternal tome ability.
4. Entering the Base:
   • Use the Jump Spell to allow access to deeper compartments.
   • Deploy the Rage Spell to boost the damage output and healing of the Electro Titans and Healers.
   • Use the Grand Warden’s ability to protect the troops during heavy fire or when approaching key defenses.
5. Heroes Support:
   • Deploy the Archer Queen and Barbarian King behind the main push to support and clear defenses.
   • Use the Royal Champion strategically to target high-value defenses or assist in clearing the core of the base.
6. Spell Management:
   • Use the Freeze Spell to neutralize high-damage defenses (Inferno Towers, Eagle Artillery).
   • Save a Rage Spell for the core or high-threat areas to maximize damage and healing.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

1. High Damage Output:
   • Electro Titans deal significant damage, especially with their chain lightning attack, making them effective against clustered defenses and troops.
2. Versatile and Flexible:
   • The Zap Quake combo allows for the removal of key defenses, making the attack adaptable to various base layouts.
3. Sustainability:
   • The combination of Healers with Electro Titans ensures sustainability and prolongs the life of the attack force.
4. Strong Against Spread Bases:
   • Effective in taking down bases with spread-out defenses due to the range and chain lightning effect of the Electro Titans.

Cons:

1. Vulnerable to Splash Damage:
   • Electro Titans can be susceptible to splash damage from Multi-Target Inferno Towers and Scattershots if not dealt with quickly.
2. Dependence on Funneling:
   • Requires precise funneling to prevent Electro Titans from wandering off and losing their effectiveness.
3. Spell Timing and Placement:
   • Success heavily relies on proper spell timing and placement, making it less forgiving for mistakes.
4. Clan Castle Troops:
   • The attack can be disrupted by defensive Clan Castle troops if not handled correctly.

By mastering the Zap Titans strategy, you can effectively use the power of Electro Titans combined with the precision of Lightning Spells to dominate at TH16. Good luck and happy clashing!
