New Defense: Building? Or Spell?
READ: When I thinking on this concept, I was originally thinking about defensive spells but when I was considering the concept of it I thought it could also be a building. I read the sticky but defensive spells isn't in the ruled out section. A lot of people seem to want them, so this was inspired by everyone.
This thread will have stats of both a defensive building and a Spell. So fair warning it will be quite a bit to read.
NEW DEFENSE BUILDING: Gravity Well
Ability: Troops within Range will become intensely weighted. Air Troops such as Healers, Minions, Dragons, Lavahounds, Lava pups, and Balloons will become ground targets and become vulnerable to all ground based defense buildings within range.
(Note: This could also be one of those defenses that slows down troops as well however a lot of people have requested such a defense. So for now, even though Gravity slowing down troops makes sense, this defense does the above ONLY)
Stats:
-Unlocked at= TH10
-Number Unlocked= 1
-Hit Points= 700
-Cost to build= 3,500,000 gold
-Build Time= 5 days
-Range= 11
-Size= 3x3
-Damage= None
-Appearance of effect from Gravity Well: A simple circle showing the area effected with intense downward moving lines indicating the immense force and Gravity in the area. The Color would be a light red from the center of the well that also glows this light red energy.

Personally I feel the second one fits the game better but the first one looks the coolest. The name is afterall "Gravity Well"
Description: Some Wizards one day dug a well with their enchanted shovels, but instead of water they were dragged deep within the well itself... Never seen again. To this day, that very well still brings everything down to earth as if to pull it underground...
Details to note:
-It's Effect will only go away until the Gravity Well is destroyed. It has relatively low health(a little more than a maxed out mortar)
-It is also not upgradeable (unless needed when more TH lvls come of course. When that happens it's health will go up perhaps)
-When Air troops are grounded they become vulnerable to ground base defenses(mortars and cannons. Of course the defenses that target both air and ground will attack them also) as well as ground traps. However that means they are not attacked by air defenses and air based traps as well.
-Ground troops can target them while they are grounded within the area.
As for the spell, I wasn't sure if defensive spells were invisible until triggered or visible but I am going to treat it like a trap for now. I do expect spells to be placed almost anywhere on the map like normal spells. So I think it should have more of a limited range than the building concept.
New Defense Spell: Gravity Spell (less appealing name but all spells are simply named)
Ability: Air Troops within Area of Affect become grounded and become vulnerable to ground based defense buildings. Just like the ability for the building.
Stats:
-Unlocked at= TH10
-Cost to make= 30,000 elixir
-Time to make= 45 mins
-Range= 5 tiles
-Trigger radius= 3 tiles
-Duration of Effect upon being triggered= 5 seconds
when it gets upgraded the duration will get longer.
Lvl1=5 seconds
Lvl2=6
Lvl3=7
Upgrade Cost:
Lvl2=6,500,000 Elixir
Lvl3= 7,000,000 Elixir
Upgrade Time:
Lvl2= 7 days
Lvl3= 9 days
Appearance when in effect: A simple circle showing the area effected with intense downward moving lines indicating the immense force and Gravity in the area. The Color should be distinguishable from other spells if possible so a light red.
Details to note:
-to save the space this is the same as Gravity well's details.
The reason I would want this is to add different factor when attacking bases with air troops as well as attacking in general.
That about covers everything. Let me know what you think of the concept of the Gravity making air troops vulnerable to ground defenses. Give useful and constructive feedback please. Why do you love or hate the idea? Thank you for reading.
also if you would be so kind as to give feedback on the ideas in my signature as well. Just click on them and see what they are about. I would greatly appreciate that.
