New Defense: Wardsman Tower

Umm, using troops is typically how people destroy things. I don't see ur point.

The Wardsman shoots down any spell that is dropped within range of its tower. Meaning, if an attacker drops a spell that would be centered on a spot within the wardsman's firing range, the spell will be destroyed before it hits the ground. The Wardsman can be configured to destroy different spells. The higher the level of the tower, the more spells that can be selected. Meaning, at level one, the tower can be set to shoot at one of the five spells. At level two, two spells can be selected, and so on. The max level will be four until more spells are released into the game. Only one tower can be built regardless of townhall level.

The initial build makes sense to cost about 2 million considering the cost of surrounding new defenses. I think...
level 1: 2000000 coins, th 8
level 2: 4000000 coins, th 8
level 3: 6000000 coins, th 9
level 4: 8000000 coins, th10
It would have a relatively short range. I think it should be about the same as a wizard tower.
Hp should be around 700. Seems pretty average.


This spell will add more strategy to the game and fill the gap at townhall 8 for new defenses. This tower can be used to keep your x-bows from being frozen, your dark elixir storage from being struck by lightning, a section of walls safe from jump spells, and many more possibilities. The Wardsman Tower would be a very exciting addition to the game.

I dont have anything against it but its 2 op... The freeze spell was put in to balence infernos for th10 now it would bring back the inferno problom for us th 10s including me. Top players would put this next 2 infernos and then u couldnt raid them because everything would get demolished like before soory but 2 op mabye make it where freeze spells wont be affected?

The color of the orb would match one of the spells it is blocking, like green orb for jump or purple orb for rage spells.

I don't think it should show whit it is blocking. Make it a surprise to stop different spells.

I see your point. I'll change it to where the Wardsman can not destroy freeze spells. I completely understand your issue. Freeze spells are meant to freeze defences, so the Wardsman should count too. This way golems and heros will still have a chance. Thanks for the feedback.

The point is to make sure they don't drop the spell in the area in the first place, not to make them waste their elixir.

nice idea. Maybe instead of blocking all types of 1 spell, it can block a certain # of spells. For example a level 1 tower would block 1 lightning spell or 1 heal spell. A level 2 tower would block 2 lightning spells, 2 heal spells, or 1 rage spell. A level 3 tower would block 3 lightning, 3 heal, 2 rage, and 1 jump. Level 4 would block 4 lightning, 4 heal, 3 rage, 2 jump and 1 freeze. This way a fully leveled tower can block all spells, but a determined attacker can still use stronger spells

As I have said before, the point is to keep them from dropping the spell at all. Why would they drop a spell knowing it would be destroyed?

With all the orbs there was not really room for the Wardsman himself. I thought he could walk around within the towers defense radius.

here he is

Sorry it took so long I was on vacation and did not have Wi-Fi.

That's nice but there is no lvl 4 or 5.
There is room for the Wardsman. Just have him standing in the middle on top.
Otherwise, that's nice. Thanks for your contribution.
