LS is currently the cheapest way to raid bases. And it is fire and forget. It has a similar destruction power as an avatar (or god).
A god you have to control. You are vulnerable to other players during that 1 minute. It is globally announed in the eventlogs of all players and even visible on the map. There is a delay when summoning it (you kinda have that too for spells) and the crafting of the god coin takes a while too.
