What Does Giant Snowball Do?
Giant Snowball is a cheap area spell that hits both ground and air, but its damage is intentionally low. Its real value is disruption - it slows every troop caught in its area and physically knocks them back on top of the small amount of damage dealt.
That combination of slow and knockback can throw off a timed push, separate troops from a tank, or simply buy a defender extra time to line up a better trade.
Where Giant Snowball Fits
It's a cheap defensive utility spell, most useful for buying time against a fast push or disrupting the positioning of an attack rather than as a source of real damage.
How to Counter Giant Snowball
Since its damage is low, it rarely threatens troops outright - spreading out or simply accepting the slow and knockback as a minor setback usually costs less than trying to avoid it entirely.
