Unlocked at spell factory level: 6 Town hall 10
Cost to upgrade factory: 4,000,000 Elixir
Spell capacity doesn't increase.
Max level: 3
Cost to upgrade spell:
Level 1: N/A
Level 2: 70,000 Dark Elixir
Level 3: 140,000 Dark Elixir
Spell cost: 800 Dark Elixir (+400 per level)
Spell Radius: 3 (+1 per level)
Spell Duration: 12 seconds (+4 per level)
Spell Effect: Any damage dealt to any troop within the spell is equally distributed to all other troops inside the spell boundaries, Splash damage dealt is counted for every unit it hits and the total is distributed evenly.

Possible Damage Modifier: In the event that this spell is too powerful it would be possible to ad a multiplier to incoming damage that way it is increased before being re-distributed so that damage isn't spread thin enough to imbalance the game.

On first glance you may think that this spell is counterproductive since all it does is make defenses hit everything at once but what it actually ends up doing is lessening the overall damage dealt to any particular unit allowing heal spells to be effective on anything even archers! Since it would effectively stop them from being instantly killed by defenses as long as they are within the bounds of the spell. watch out though, single target inferno towers and giant bombs may prove devastating by being able to overwhelm a heal spell if too few troops are inside the diffusion spell!

Physical description: A dark red (roughly maroon) colored spell.

Very interesting and creative, it's a little hard to wrap my brain around but the idea definatly has potential

Thanks for the support!
:D

Read the description

Great idea! I just want to say it should be a very small radius and when you upgrade to level 6 spell factory the capacity should increase.

I like it. I mean, it especially helps that it's lvl 10 th. Although I do think the spell capacity should be increased because of YouTube reasons. Like an "every troop and spell" Attack video.

Why a small Radius?

I really don't think the spell capacity needs to increase it's already too easy to star even maxed bases, with another spell it would unbalance the game. You gotta realize the game doesn't exist for the sole purpose of youtube videos.

Anyway, thanks for the support guys

I really like this Idea 11/10 would rate again

Great idea. Though I have some questions.
1. If 2 of this spell are cast, overlapping each other, how will the damage be distrubuted? If some troops are in the overlapping region, will they recieve damage from both the spells? Or one? If one, then which one?
2. Mass barbarians would be a great problem. They are tanky enough and deal enough damage. If also given a heal spell in the area, they would be invincible. Imagine the damage being split into 50+ barbarian with a heal spell on them
3. The radius being large would allow the damage to be distributed among more troops making it overpowered. In my opinion it should remain the same or increase at a lower rate. Increased troops would in the region would mean certain defeat for the base.
4. Inferno towers would become almost useless against them if set on multiple targets. Your idea of every troop not being able to heal might help a bit but overall, the troops won't die. About 250 damage if set on multiple troops (just an estimate) divided between, lets say, 50 barbs, would be only 5. And they could destroy the thing in mere seconds.

Overall a very unique idea. Btw i'm new to the forums so guide me on how to vote on polls. I'd certainly give a yes if my questions are answered adequately. =)

I like this idea. At the end of the day, it's only one spell and it's not like it lasts the entire attack. An attacker gets a few seconds of boost out of it and that's it. So it doesn't seem like it would overpower anything. Instead of a damage modifier, the change could just be to shorten its effective time if it did start tipping the scales too far one way. I would say make it available before TH10 though. Maybe at TH8 it comes available with no upgrades being available until TH9 and TH10.

Fantastic questions :D I'll answer them as best as I can.
1:When overlapped they would act as a single larger spell. Since having them each calculate damage seperately would lead to an infinite cycle of damage reduction within the overlapped region I think this is the better option.
2: Yes, swarm troops would become quite powerful, However you have to realize that it would require two spells to do this, meaning that since you're using two at a time you have a shorter overall spell life. This means you'd have to be able to funnel the barbarians exactly where you need them to go every time You raid someone. Much easier said than done.
3:Note that While it's radius does increase, at max level it's area is only the same size as a rage spell. It actually starts out quite small.
4: Yes. however you have to consider that all damage is distributed evenly, this means that while infernos do only a little damage, every other defense shooting at something in that ring also does damage to the things the infernos are stopping from healing.
5: Also, I mentioned a damage modifier, if the spell was too overpowered and reduced damage too much, supercell could always just change the modifier so that more damage is done to each troop.

Thanks dude, although I doubt supercell is gonna add spells at lower town hall levels since freeze comes out at town hall 10 and this comes out after freeze, it just wouldn't make much sense :P

Thanks for the support guys :D
