Range Calculator

Bases are built on a grid in Clash of Clans. If a square is being touched by the colored circle it will be hit by deployed spell. The lightning spell has a radius of two, if it is deployed in the middle of a square (most buildings are 3x3, so in the middle of a normal building) it will hit a 5x5 square with the corners cut off. You can move around the X and Y location to find the optimal location to drop a spell. The radius is also adjustable to allow to figure out the margin of error when planning out spell deployment. It looks possible to hit a 5x5 square with just 2 of the 4 corners cut off, for example (X,Y) of (0.2,0.5). I wouldn't recommend relying on hitting such a small spot on a square but it is interesting to note. Another observation how you can hit only a 4x4 square if you happen to deploy the lightning spell directly on a cross intersection, such as (X,Y) of (0,0).
