New DE Troop request. SnowMan!

The Details,
The SnowMan!
175 DE to train
25 minutes to train.
12 Housing Space
30-40 Regularly Damage
50-60 Damage During the winter season (25 Extra Dark elixir to train during the winter (200 in total))
125 HP
16 movement speed
BEHOLD! THE FEARLESS, THE ANGRY, Snowman?
I know it seems a little off to the angry environment of battling in Clash of Clans but this fuzzy, cuddly guy can bring some fierce competition to the table, for its different ability to slow down the attacks of the defense it is attacking! If this is actually noticed I would go into the coding such as in the attack rates and multipliers when attacking. But I was thinking something of this
*Archer Tower* Its rate of fire (as seem to me) would be an arrow hits the target every 2 seconds. So if hit by the snowman, it would be slowed down to six seconds (roughly a multiple of 3)

(Edited new idea by Liblee) We can consider iced trail > 2 tile radius where the snowman walked leaves a trail of ice. Units who walked on this trail of ice gets a speed boost of:
Level 1 Snowman: 5%
Level 2 Snowman: 8% to 10%
Level 3 Snowman: 12% to 15%

Also I have an idea of Skill Blizzard: Slows down enemy tower shooting speed.
Level 1 Snowman: 1.5%
Level 2 Snowman: 3%
Level 3 Snowman: 5%

Please leave suggestions and rate! Thanks for reading and responding!

The ideas seems sweet. Maybe a special ability incorporating a freeze or freeze spell of some sort? Also I think it should be more of a dark abominable snowman instead of a jolly one. Nice ideas however :).

People would not use it because it would be more effective in the winter so best to wait till then.

I would say this is not true, because the ability is not affected, only damage. I made the extra cost of Dark Elixir more costly so it would be balanced out. I could take it out, but I think it is a unique addition. Thanks for the responses though!

I like the idea!

This is a good idea but I think I would decrease the cost because 200 DE is a bit to much. Otherwise, good idea! Good luck!

Personally the snowman would dramatically decrease the coolness of the DE troops. Hog riders, minions, witches....and a snowman..

You obviously did not read my thing .-. I know it seems weird but it could be something else, a yeti or something, something wintery...

long training time, lots of housing spaces, meh damage, meh HP, no useful special ability or target, super high DE cost

never thought id say this in troop idea forum, but this troop is UP(under powered), like a gimped giant that takes 25 min to train and doesnt even target defenses. Watch as my snowman dies battling this laboratory, i understand he can slow defense rate of fire, but does he have a prefered target? even so way to inefficient/expensive next to giants.

now a snow spell that slowes rate of fire(inferno towers for instance) that could be a very good idea, but probably to similir to the freeze spell.

Well would you like it to do more than 500DMG with thousands of hp? That would be unbalance, you need to balance troops or else there is no fun to the game, if wizards right now had thousands of HP no one would experiment with troops together or anything. Think about different strategies you could use, do not come bashing in here with no counter suggestion. Either criticize and make a suggestion or make a suggestion, but please don't come and criticize.

Read this in a dramatic narrator voice:

The mighty dark troops include the minion. Hoards of these beast soar the skies, destroying everything in his path. The hog rider's fierce hog allows him to avoid anything and everything in his way. His hammer can crush the mightiest of warriors. The valkery's whirlwind blow can destroy everything in a large circle from her body, and crush the strongest of fighters. The golem can withstand any hit, and can even break himself into two smaller golems to finish any incomplete jobs. The witch can revive fallen warriors of past battles to stand by her side and wreck enemy defenses. And then there's the snowman, he only is really that good in the winter...but he can slow things down, in case that's helpful!

Effects of the snowman

All dark elixir troops have effects, right? So, what effects to give this Snowman?

We can consider iced trail > 2 tile radius where the snowman walked leaves a trail of ice. Units who walked on this trail of ice gets a speed boost of:
Level 1 Snowman: 5%
Level 2 Snowman: 8% to 10%
Level 3 Snowman: 12% to 15%

Also I have an idea of Skill Blizzard: Slows down enemy tower shooting speed.
Level 1 Snowman: 1.5%
Level 2 Snowman: 3%
Level 3 Snowman: 5%

Comment on this idea :)

Cheers!

whoa partner, quite a bit of difference between "30 damage and 125 hp" and "500 damage and thousands of HP", no need to go overboard.

My point was for your costs, training stats and troop count, ur stats were weak. no need to be sensitive. my suggestion? tweak your stats, thought that as obvious.

Yeah, I know but something in the wintery selection of troops.
