New Trap: The Web Pit

Introduction

This is my first idea in a long chain of them, but what I'm trying to do is balance spells with appropriate spells. Obviously, too much of this will severely unbalance the game, but with careful planning I think it can be done properly
Here is my idea:

The Web Pit

Type: Trap
Size: 2x2
Visibility: Hidden until triggered

Effect: All enemy units in the trap's radius are slowed (see table below). This effects air and ground units.
Range: 2x2 (upgradable)
Damage: N/A
Preferred Enemy: Goblins (+10% slowness)

Cost: 10,000 to buy
Town hall level: One Web Pit obtained at level 6, Another obtained at level 8 and a final one obtained at level 10

Description: Sprays the area in webs, clinging to troops and slowing them down for a while

Upgrade table

Trap Level	Slow %	Time(s)	Radius	Re-arm cost	Cost to upgrade	Town Hall level
1	20	5	2x2	5,000	-	6
2	25	7	2	7,500	20,000	7
3	30	9	2	10,000	50,000	7
4	35	13	2.5	12,500	100,000	8
5	40	15	2.5	15,000	500,000	9
6	50	18	3	20,000	1,000,000	10

Table updated 13:30 thanks to SkyMage1001. Thanks sky!
Please, if leaving feedback, be constructive. I DO NOT want "Oh... Its terrible" That does not help me!

Traps like this would be useful and the statistics are also good. Good idea 🌚

Wow this is so op. Would it affect all troops in the area??? If so then 1 at max level could ruin a raid.

I like the idea however so the upgrade price should be much more and definitely not 80% solw for 25 secs.

Hi there, welcome to the forums.

This is quite a nice and detailed idea. I'm only quoting the part that I can give the best feedback: the stats! It's nice to be able to judge whether or not something is too strong/weak, rather than saying "detail plz".

Anyway, an 80% slow for 25 seconds is quite strong. Either make it a really strong burst trap (lower duration) or a strong trap over time (reduce the slow percentage). It scales really hard: from level 1 to level 6, the trap becomes 80 times stronger (4 times the slowing power, 5 times the slowing duration and 4 times the AoE). If you can reduce the scaling power, that would make the trap more balanced.

If I were to remake the stats, I would do something like this:

Trap Level	Slow %	Time(s)	Radius	Re-arm cost	Cost to upgrade	Town Hall level
1	20	5	2	5,000	-	6
2	25	7	2	6,000	20,000	7
3	30	9	2	7,500	50,000	7
4	35	12	2.5	9,000	100,000	8
5	40	15	2.5	11,000	500,000	9
6	50	18	3	15,000	1,000,000	10

Basically, there is a considerable difference between a level 1 and level 6 web pit, but the difference for each level isn't particularly notable. With yours, the difference between level 1 and 2 was quite huge, with almost double stats for just the slows.

However, the concept is nice and the detail is good. You just need to tweak it a little. Don't follow my table if you don't want to, but I just wanted to give you an example of what I would do in terms of balancing it better.

Not quite. The trap will only get units in its small range (see the table)

Rhis is a nice table, and alot better then mine

Thanks guys. I will use my newly gained wisdom and all your advice to further this trap!
I might also put forwards a defence of similar capabilities!

Thanks again!

i would rather hold them in place, sort of like a freeze trap

seems like a great idea, but as others said, its a too powerful at max level.
