My suggestion is, that when he dies and freezes a tower, (you should say a certain time for the duration from his ability) he can revive 1 time if the tower gets destroyed before his ability ends! When he revives he is smaller and only has 50% of his stats! (So he don't gets too op);)

The rest is good and the stats are good balanced! :)

Hope this idea gets bigger, cause it's rly good! :D

Thanks for the inout! I didnt put a duration on its Upon Death Ability because there wouldnt be a duration, it would be "glacier-ized" until the Tower is Destroyed. His second ability would work best against mortars other slow firing defenses, countering his Phase/Freeze ability and slowing their Mortars enough to let your support ground troops run rampant.

Thats a good argument...

But it's a pity that you call him ice phoenix (by the way, in the stats you called him "frozen" phoenix?) but he didn't has any sort of phoenix abilities...

Yeah, Falcon didn't seem Epic enough and Dragon was already taken. So phoenix was next on my list. Imo any Revival or Regeneration is Op unless you nerf it on its second coming, thus defeating the purpose of it regenning if an AD can trash it at half health when its deep within a base.

Ye, it's your thread! ;)

Are there any others out there who're also interested on that kind of troop?!

Not that i know of. There are similar ideas on Freezing, but those have proven to be unpopular or OP/UP

The ice phoenix would be a troop that targets defenses primarily (stay with me here, i know hogs giants and golems all do this already) However deal no damage whatsoever. Instead the phoenix will phase through defense structures, temporarily freezing them only while the Phoenix is phasing through it. The phoenix will make a small circle about maybe three or four tiles, to let the Defense still get attacks through. Optimally, the phoenix will go for like cannons or wizard towers that have a quick attack speed minimizing the number of shots that it can get off before the giants and hogs reach it. The worst case scenario would be that it would "Freeze" a mortar, where the Attack speed is so slow, the phoenix would be useless.

Stats:
Name of Troop: Ice Phoenix
Training Cost (in Elixir or DE):100 DE
Troop Type: Air
Training Time: 20 min
Housing Space: 12
Damage per second: 0
Hit Points: 450 (Because this Troop is made of Ice, Inferno Towers do 1.5 times Damage against it)
Movement Speed: 16
Ability: When this troop dies, It will descend to the defensive tower that it is attacking and form glaciers around the tower and decrease firing speed by 1.5x (so a level 5 mortar fires every seven and a half seconds and at a lower DPS to compensate for the damage gain)
Description
This beast of the North, has the unique ability to become a freezing mist! Call down Its power and watch your opponents Defense freeze before it!

Anyways Comment any and all feedback as it is all welcome. Thanks for reading

Hey so I see this but this troop would be to OP if you had level 5+ other troops freezing defences troop? Way to OP.
if it only hit cannons and had low health and house space...sure...but you could with the way it is you could make way to good of a combo.

Being an Air troop makes is susceptible to the mighty AD. Any seasoned AD (which i hope you have at this stage in the game) would trash this troop if got near them, thus making them not OP. A level 7 AD does 280 Damage per shot, making it a two shot kill.
Housing space, is twelve just under a healer, and equal to a witch.

The only real way i could see this being in an OP troop Comp would be this
WiLD Ice
2 Lava Hounds-60 Troop space
5-10 Ice Phoenix-60-120 Troop Space
Rest Witches/wiz and Hogs/Drags.

Add in rage and Healing maybe a jump or freeze

There you go. Instant troop comp that would utilize the tankiness of the Lava hound, the ability of the Ice Phoenix, The Targeting system of the Hogs, and the Troop spawn of the Witch.
Only thing is that, that troop comp is hella expensive on DE.

Also Infernos on Multi would kill this fairly easily as well as a level 12+ Archer Tower.

Nice idea! I see it has made Asdmus88' s thread as well! I personally don't see why everyone feels that it needs the ability to revive itself just because it is a Phoenix. I think it is terrific the way it is. However, if you absolutely had to fix this so called "problem" I have a suggestion. If it "dies" it falls to the ground in a dormant state. During this state it has a limited time before resurrection. HOWEVER, while the troop is dormant, it will have a small amount of HP. If this is depleted before the troop resurrects itself, the troop will die COMPLETELY. The way I see it, it has a very small chance of being resurrected due to the fact that it falls to the ground becoming exposed to ground defenses. But there is still a chance. This allows you to stick with the true style of the Phoenix without being way too O.P. Just a suggestion though. Like I said, I like it the way it is. And that is saying something considering that my troop idea also slows defenses and I'm sure Supercell won't add two troops that slow defenses since the combo would be pretty O.P. Which means our ideas compete with each other in a way.

Like i said earlier, by the time the phoenix "dies" it will be deep within an opponent's base (hopefully). Normally people put their ADs in their Core, and seeing as how this will be troop number 7 in the Dark Barracks, those th10/11 player will hopefully have high level AD/ WT/ AT, all capable of taking down air support units in 2-5 hits depending on the structure.
That being said, Regeneration would be almost irrelevant as well as your idea, because it is still within a base and would be targeted by ground Defenses Im guessing.

In that sense, i made his Upon Death Ability so that it will carry on after death and fulfill its purpose until the end of the battle, Phoenix-style.

Again thanks for the input though

If you read my entire post, I made.it clear that I like your troop as it is. I was simply giving you an alternative in the event that you could not convince everyone else that a Phoenix does not need a resurrection ability. And I also mention the fact that the regeneration would be next to useless because of ground defenses, but it would still have a small chance which allows it to keep that "Phoenix power" that everyone else seems to love so much, without becoming OP. That being said, I DO NOT want you to change it from the way you have it. Everything I posted was a suggestion for a "Last resort".
