Monolith is a powerful defense in Clash of Clans, unlocked at Town Hall 15.
Many players wonder how many lightning spells are required to take down the Monolith!
And, they often get confused.
To solve that issue, I've written this article!
The number of lightning spells required to destroy a Monolith can be calculated in this way: Hitpoints of Monolith (of a particular level) / Damage by one lightning spell (of a particular level).
I've done all the required math in this article so that you don't have to!
In this article, I've listed the exact number of lightning spells required to take down an Monolith considering all the levels of both the lightning spell as well as Monolith.
So, without any further ado, let's dive right into it!
