I feel the way an attack is absorbed is extremely flawed? I have 3.1m spy defense with 1m static. So if attacked by someone with 700k spy attack, why does game use 1 of each def pot especially when attacker uses no attack pots? I believe attack should be absorbed by sd 1st, then your stats and bfe/bfa, with pots coming last. That way a much weaker attacker can't burn your pots so easily when unnecessary!
Bfa is an extremely small factor when absorbing, if this is the case. Only 2% is added to your BTA. Also, if you think about it contextually, a pot is going to act first before an ally comes and helps you. You lose all your sdp because your opponent is using more than 700k SA. They probably have equipment, pots, allies and such they are using also. If the attacker is much weaker they do cause you to use less pots.
Well, I have analysed and my bfe is much better and even though person is using no attack pots, still uses all 11 of my defdefensive pots.
Consider troop levels. Even a much better BFE does not mean you are mich higher once converted to BTA.
if he use full sa pots then you use all sd pots. especially with only 1m sdt up. Best explanation is in Wolf post about buildings
