How Do I Use The Cheaters 20 To Defend?

I got the defend side to work just fine first time, though I was a little confused by it.

Come time to try it in my second town, it said I had nobody attacking so it wouldn't work. If nobody's attacked my second town by lunchtime I guess I'll have to wait for the timer to tick over so I can go at it from my main town.

I have tried nothing and I am all out of ideas......hahaha.
Kidding.

So I guess we hope that they fix the glitch and reimburse the missing dice.

OY!

Is it worth using them to defend in the long run though?

I think the best strategy is to save them up to hit the castles in random towns, since they have huge payoffs compared to anything else.

Yes this is annoying me too. It's either a glitch or I am missing something.

when i use one in my own town, it makes all the neighboring invaders disappear.

I'm having that issue too. I wonder if it needs to be used while someone is actually attacking? I've tried twice and it just cleared out all of my shields and repaired a building, but it doesn't show that I used it to defend my own town. I don't want to burn through the couple I have left.

I think I have this issue to. I've not tried on a destroyed building yet so I am waiting for a destroyed building to try on then I am giving up on the defend task. EA will prob never fix it.

I could only use it after a shield is present already

I also cannot get it to work for defense. Wasted one and left it alone ask figured I was doing something wrong. Hope it's fixed soon.

The cheater's dice can only be used for defense while you are being attacked or if one or more of your buildings has been destroyed. To use it, tap on the shield with the red die in the upper right corner of the screen. If you are not being attacked, it will tell you so. Otherwise, it will tell you to tap on the screen to use the cheater's die. Tap on the screen, but NOT on a shield - tapping on a shield will just defend the single building as usual. Tapping anywhere else should give a little flash and all of the shields should disappear, along with any invaders. Any buildings that have been destroyed should be rebuilt (although I haven't tested this feature myself). Basically, it's just a way to clear all the attacks at once. Not really worth it IMO, but you need to do it once to clear the quest.

Many people have said that they have used the dice for defense, but it didn't clear the quest. I tried a few times before I realized that I shouldn't be tapping on a shield and then it worked fine.
