How many Lightning spells are required to destroy Spell Tower in Clash of Clans?

Spell Tower is a relatively new defense in Clash of Clans, unlocked at Town Hall 15.

Many players wonder how many lightning spells are required to take down the spell tower! 

And, they often get confused.

To solve that issue, I've written this article!

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 Spell Tower considering all the levels of both the lightning spell as well as Spell Tower. 

So, without any further ado, let's dive right into it!
