New TH11 Dark Spell: Time Stop

A dark spell that takes 1 spell space. It stops time for a short time period based on the spell level (including the clock) and during this time you can select and place troops/spells. Any troops or spells placed during the time stop will be active while all other troops are stuck frozen in time. If troops are cloned during the time stop spell, only the cloned troops will be active during the spell's duration.

Level 1 - 5 seconds
Level 2 - 7 seconds
Level 3 - 9 seconds
Level 4 (Available at TH12) - 10 seconds

I just want to clarify: when the time stop spell is placed, it freezes all defensive and offensive troops. The only offensive troops that will be actively attacking during the spell's duration are those that are placed after the spell has been dropped.

Interesting variant of a freeze spell on steroids. I feel like 10 seconds is way too much for a spell that takes 1 space though - imagine the value cloned loons + rage can get in that time period. I'd suggest making it the first 2 space dark spell, reducing the time period, or perhaps allowing traps to be triggered through it.

Basically an overpowered freeze spell for the entire base that also stops the clock. Got it.

A time extension spell where you could extend the battle time by a set amount of seconds would be cool. Maybe 15 sec per spell space. Anything more would be too OP.

I agree with this. The time was overdone a bit.

Level 1 - 4 seconds
Level 2 - 5 seconds
Level 3 (TH12) - 6 seconds

That would probably be more realistic.

Its not an "overpowered" freeze spell. It stops both offensive and defensive troops to make the game require more strategies combining spells. For example, you can heal troops when time is stopped or place troops down the center then stop time and clone. It also would still come with its own risks since missing spells or timing/placement would waste a large number of spell slots.

This would be a waste of a spell slot and no one would use it. It would become the next skeleton spell.

I think there is a very small chance this will even be considered. If you do some math with the current freeze spell, it would take 40.333 freeze spells to freeze an entire base at 44x44. Multiply 40.333 by the the cost of a level 7 and you get roughly 726,000 elixer. So the chance for supercell to implement a spell at 2 space when it should really take 40 space and make it cost maybe twice as much as the other dark spells would be ridiculous. And keep in mind with your suggested duration times a level 2 would almost be as strong as a max freeze spell. It would not be worth the extra spell space and to stop the in game clock is rediculous.

I agree to disagree. Skeleton spell isn’t unused, it’s just not the most favored spell. Every army requires spells that would work better with it than the other spells, and an extra time spell would probably be one of the most used spells considering the anger from getting a 99% 1 more second situation. It would be useful in it moments, i.e if you’re going into a battle and you know it will be a close one then it would be perfect for you. Not every spell not needed then and there is useless, and Skelton spells are great for extra perc, cleanup, countering war ccs, and much more.

Honestly, I can't recall the last time I did an air-only attack at th9 without a skeleton spell. It's versatility is way too good in killing the aq to not use it. Even at th10+ it can be used to distract a single target inferno, or kill a centralised aq.

Very Interesting 😃
