My trap did not work

My trap did not work

If your traps did not trigger when you expected them to, the reason is most likely one of the following:

• Your trap was not armed (perhaps it was used during an earlier attack against you)
• The attacking troops didn't quite enter the trigger zone or step on the trap
• Your Spring Trap was stepped on by a troop too heavy, or too fast, to shoot up into the air
• Your Seeking Air Mines do not attack Minions or Lava Pups. Minions and Lava Pups are invisible to Seeking Air Mines (but not to Air Bombs).

If a unit walks on a Spring Trap, they should be launched out of battle after the trigger. Fast units like goblins, or troops enhanced by a rage spell, can walk fast enough on it to escape the trap.

Your defending clan troops will not trigger traps.
