Dark spell Idea: Illusion Spell

First, If you voted that this is a terrible idea could you please tell me why in the comments? Feel Free to comment any changes you think would improve the spell! I'd love to hear either some criticism or some support! Make sure to comment your thoughts!

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 Price(DE): 600 (+100 per level)
Spell Duration: 0
Illusion Duration: 30 seconds (+30 per level)
Spell Radius: 3 (+1 per level)

Spell Effect#1: Placing this spell will cause any units within it at the time of placement to have a copy of themselves created. The copies will have the same ai as their real counterpart. The copies have no health and do no damage however they can be targeted by any defense that can target the original, copies can not be targeted or destroyed by splash defenses but single target defenses make them disappear with one hit.
Spell effect #2: Upon placement all troops within the radius are concealed for .02 seconds causing all defenses except inferno towers to re-target troops. this can cause defenses to switch to a new target that they had not originally been attacking before placement.

TLDR: This spell creates a ton of copies that distract defenses from the real troops

Appearance: when the potion is dropped it creates a smoke-like explosion that quickly dissipates to reveal translucent copies of all troops within the effected area.

I really like this idea, but maybe duration goes up by 10 sec each upgrade and can they set off traps?

Buddy Some Questions:

- When you say multiple copies, how many copies of a single barbarian (Example plz).
- Will this spell applicable on Hero's as well.
- Will this spell work on Ground army, Air army or both.
- Will the copies disappear when main unit die.


As far as I believe, this spell will make Town Hall 10 life easy and more trouble for Town Hall 8 and 9. The reason why I am saying this cause let suppose it makes 3 copies of a single unit, let suppose for 10 sec. If someone attack town hall 8 with Pekka or dragon, those 10 secs will be disaster for that base. In 10 sec 2 or 3 Pekka would destroy most of the defenses and it would be easy victory for town hall 10 if he/she use all 5 spells as Illusion.

Its all my opinion...

1-The spell does not create multiple copies, it creates a single copy of each troop within its effective area, so if you have 20 barbarians it will create 20 copies, if you use two of these for example you place one on a barbarian and make a copy and then place another, it will create a second copy but it will not create a copy of the first copy. Only originals can be copied.
2-I don't see why not, of course the copies would have no special abilities like the original heroes and would still die after one hit like any other copy.
3-Yes, both ground and air would be affected.
4-No, copies will remain for their full duration unless they themselves are killed

As for your last concerns I don't think it will be that overpowered, especially with tanky units since they tend to take up higher troop capacities so you can't use as many of them. the number of copies is identical to the number of troops within the spell radius after all and having an additional 8 pekkas that do no damage and get one shot isn't going to help much. This troop mainly helps with raids that utilize mid sized or small capacity troops with at least moderate health like giants, wizards, balloons, Valkyries, hogs, minions, and possibly wallbreakers. as for it being overpowered when used on lower town halls, a town hall 10 can three star any town hall 9 easily anyway so it wouldn't really have much of an effect on that. Freeze spells are already really overpowerd against lower town hall levels

Anyway, thanks for the questions dude! Hope my answers helped! If you have any more questions feel free to ask and I'd be glad to answer them as well as I can! Any comments, concerns, criticism, or support is welcome too!:D

For that much de and time, the spell is definitely UP, under powered. It does nothing except provide extra targets for defensive units and something like a cannon and tesla will mow down (or xbow). Maybe give them like 1 health point (cuz yolo) and 50 % damage so that the second they are targeted they are destroyed, by anything, but still do SOMETHING

I have to disagree, a spell like this would be extremely useful since defenses take longer when they re-target troops than when they are just shooting at one troop, raids like the balloonion where the balloons get taken out in two hits by those level 7 and 8 air defenses would really benefit from this spell since it puts more targets out there for the air defenses to attack, it can help your troops progress through a base while defenses are busy targeting the fakes. I realize everyone likes damage, and especially on these forums, most of the people here seem to be a tad bit obsessed with troops that are either super strong or have a ton of health but I like the strategy side of the game and that's what I tend to focus on more. And from a strategic standpoint a spell like this would be extremely beneficial as long as you knew how to use it.

If the copies have no health, then how can they be on the base first of all ? Secondly, if they have no health then then what will determine when they get killed by the defenses ?

Good idea anyways :)

I thought of this, but not simply making them illusions. This 7s way better. Nice idea.

The clones cant attack though right? And on appearance, maybe it should cover everything in a mist and then dissapear, revealing twice as many warriors.

I like the mist idea, and this should cause a temporary cease fire from the defenses, since the defense couldn't focus on the troop (added perk to the above "U-P" comment). It may be nice if the illusion would appear in front to give the actual troop another 1-2 seconds without getting hit. Also, if new troops walked into the spell area after it was dropped, would it copy those too? Very cool idea
