Zappies

"Spawns a pack of miniature Zap machines. Who controls them...? Only the Master Builder knows."

The Zappies card is unlocked from the Electro Valley (Arena 11). It spawns three single-target, medium-ranged Zappies with low hitpoints and damage. Each of their attacks stun the target for a short time. The Zappies card costs 4 Elixir to deploy.

Strategy

 * Because Zappies can stun, they are effective counters against a lone Sparky or Inferno Dragon.
 * Zappies can be very effective against low hit speed troops such as the Hunter and Bowler because they can cripple them with constant stuns, making them almost unable to attack.
 * Since Zappies have low hitpoints, effective counters are spell cards such as the Fireball. It destroys Zappies for a neutral Elixir trade.
 * Behind a tank, they can be decent support since they can cripple buildings, especially the Inferno Tower, and with their stuns, they will leave the Arena Tower barely being able to shoot.
 * Zappies can be good counters to small swarms like Skeletons and Goblins, and with the help of the Arena Towers, they can also counter bigger swarms like the Skeleton Army and Goblin Gang. However, these swarms can also be used to counter the Zappies, by surrounding them with the said swarm.
 * As a defensive troop, Zappies can be used to stop troops such as Lumberjack, Mini P.E.K.K.A and Bandit, as they will constantly stun the troops, eventually defeating them. They can even stop tanks such as Giant Skeleton with the help of a mini-tank such as a Knight. After the said troops are defeated, the Zappies can be used in a counterpush.
 * A Fireball can instantly defeat Zappies up to 2 levels higher.

History

 * The Zappies card was added to the game on 12/12/17 with the Electrifying Update.
 * On 24/1/18, the Balance Update gave Zappies the ability to target air troops.

Trivia

 * The Zappies card is the only Rare card that can stun.
 * A Zappy deals the same damage as an Ice Golem of equal level.
 * The Zappies have the second highest health of all the individual swarm units, behind the Barbarians.
 * In Indonesia, Zappies are named "Setrum" (Something that electrifies). Zap is also named "Setrum" making it hard to distinguish from the two.
