    It appears that there is LightningStrike and then there's everyone else

    175W - 0L (at the time of this posting) Summer 2016

    Really? Is LightningStrike that much better than every other empire?

    Are your wars over in minutes?
    Approximately how many actives are there each war?
    Is there any empire that is even coming close to beating LightningStrike?

    I'm both impressed with their superiority and fearful that there is no hope for the rest of us.

    Would like to hear from members of LightningStrike or any empire who has recently battled them.

    Thx

    We got them during the season start shuffle once.

    Match lasted a whole 6 minutes.

    They weren't always #1, they came straight out of nowhere and unseated the "establishment". They themselves proved that anyone can take #1 with determination and hard work.

        Yes they are by far and away the strongest empire right now.

          I remember when Chosen used to be the top undefeated team for the longest. Ohh good times

            I used to farm them but as long as they behave they might stay in peace...

              Yeah, not so hard when you have bought accounts and load at the same time, they will go down just like Chosen and RM.

                LS is fun We're not undefeated yet tho, 1.5 months to go. Getting #1 is hard, but the real work is keeping that top spot. Id appreciate a little more CC for our short wars (hint to Devs)

                  I think that's controllable by your team... if you dragged them out a little you would get more... Sorry not sorry good luck on your quest anyway.

                    Have you ever faced these guys? they show up at 60 people as soon as it starts... by the time I fire 1 token, they already have 30 points on the board.

High levels using cripple on low health, traps spent on inactives, bull rush on single row target. It wouldn't be hard to stretch it even from 5-30 mins. There are a ton of skills you can use to extend wars regardless of class. Ghost/Sniper and Reaper don't have great options other than demo or hit low health targets.
                        Sniper has mark target 😂😂😂😂

                          Lol. They need to remove the skill and give people their cc back for it. It's a useless skill with the inception of shields or just make it bypass shields.

                          It's utterly useless when people shield 7 out of the 9 buildings and sins and reapers can see one of the others.

                          On topic, LS is that strong, Eve isn't very complicated, but when you stack that many top accounts in the same place it will remain the same.

                            The reason why they're called LightningStrike is because they beat everyone so fast

                              a few days ago we somehow got matched up with russian mafia, now I have no idea how that would ever come about because we struggle with actives alot of the time and are lucky on some wars if 5-10 of us even show up so was surprised to log on 5 mins after the war started to see the defeat logo showing up, in all my time playing the game we have never been beaten that quickly, usually some high end top empire have spanked us within 15 mins but not 5 lol.
