Damage per second or DPS for its acronym in English Damage per Second, refers to the amount of damage that a character, weapon, or trap in the game can inflict Clash of Clans during a battle, and many times you will hear other players refer to that statistic since according to these values of damage per second, the strategies of the game are put together.
Generally, the DPS or damage per second is not provided by the game, but you calculate it by the total damage that a character or weapon is capable of doing in each attack, and it is calculated by dividing the damage between the time between which one performs each attack , which usually occurs in seconds.
This stat is considered by the developers to balance the game and the characters, and promote the use of some characters that are not used much. They are based on feedback from players who complain about the advantages and disadvantages of certain characters compared to others of the same level.
