Lets talk about good defense from Crossbow/Thunder Cannon/Ice Cannon spam and about defense as a whole! Right defense, mostly from spam is very important thing in the battle, mostly in 1's. What you think, guys about how to defend your island or other object from spam attack? Using sun barricades is good set, but we often doing wind rush - 1ws. In 1's building 2 ws'es can take time, and in the middle of battle go to the home isle can take time. So how can i make good defense of object from spam attack? Lets discuss about that.

Spam attacking from flank the spam attackers is good =p
Dunno other way =)

What R2D says is good, flank the attack, at least what you should not do is try to meet a spam head on. By flanking you will draw away the attack from whatever he is spamming and you will also avoid losing your Xbows.

With a wind workshop, you could always upgrade it for wind towers too, I think they are good to defend outposts with, but you probably should not attempt to defend an outpost with them if you are being attacked from many different angles. It could be good if you can place the tower before the attack and if the area of enemy attack is quite small.

You can also try blocking off the spam with bridges.

Genes have more hitpoints than xbows, so u can use them as a tower when countering xbows when u only have xbows too. genes are cheaper than xbows too so its a good strat
