The Shock Tower

The Shock Tower!


I mentioned this yesterday in my TH11 thread, and I thought. It is a really cool concept that should maybe have a post of its own. So it's here.


The Shock Tower!


Appearance: I spent ages looking for some reference art, and couldn't find much, so here is a couple of pictures.

The concept is basically like an Oil Tower (the good old age oil defence mechanism), only to suit the hopefully TH11 theme that should come along with this, it's been tinkered around with, so instead of oil, it produces Shock Lightning.


Like the old age defence, this has a very VERY short range, maybe 1-2 tiles, but a very fast fire rate that can affect all troops within the range, making this one hell of a challenge to destroy.
This may seem very VERY (see what I did there) over powered, but don't worry. Comes with so many counters, including a new spell.

Also, it's affected by all old spells.


Look around later for a separate thread on the new spell, which you may have seen mentioned a lot, but I've taken it a step further.

Statistics.

So comment away changes, and if you find good reference art, or make some for me, leave that in the comments to!

Pretty great idea for a new tower!

But the electricity makes it look like a hidden tesla, perharps it could use another substance?

I say its good but there is no th11 yet so it should be a th10 defense. And also the max limit of gold you can hold is 8 mil so it can't cost 10 mil to upgrade to level four.

That's also a lot of time for upgrading 1 thing its not like its a townhall.

Hey! Do you have another substance, I'll be sure to check it out if you do.
A couple of other ideas could include...
Liquid Energy.
Scientists have found a way to harness power into a liquid based substance, equal to the Elixier recourse.

Th11 has been rumoured to be out in Summer, the rumour originated from an SC worker, so it can be fairly reliable, also. TH11 should introduce a new storage level aswell as collector levels.

In my opinion.

What kind of time frame do you recommend?

Liquid energy is a great idea, but it would have to have a different colour and animation from existing towers to make it unique.

How about a glinting red? And unlike other towers, maybe you can actually see it pouring the substance over the troops, and the shocked troops have some kind of Aura affect?

Yeap, maybe it would look something like a red freeze spell?

Would you prefer that to the electric shock aura?
