reinvent the healer "idea to bring her back into high lvl play"

I propose that healers be brought to lvl 5 with one special ability. Its simple ... when they are destroyed they drop a radius of heal equivalent to a heal spell. I dont know about everyone else but I personally miss the days when I could use healers effectively. Once you reach a certain lvl of play healers no longer have an effect on game play. Air defense is way to powerful so most abandon them attacking anything over a th 8. I think this would fit well with the recent powering up of giants and could bring the giant healer combo into the big leagues..... everyone that agrees or dont agree please discuss this. If. It has already been brought to the attention of SC let me know. I looked and seen nothing. To SC id like to say this would seem like a minor addition that would have a very big impact on game play.. thanks for reading everyone

(I will edit thread with your ideas thanks for the responses)


Thoughts from thread:


Reduce training times
Reduce cost
Reduce housing space
(My opinion is reducing housing space is a great option. It would allow you to field more healers hence they will have a greater effect)

Increase the range of healers

Increase in lvl with hit points sufficient to survive air mines
Allow healers to heal two groups at once if in range

When a troop spell defence hero or anything else upgrades only the stats change, the ai or anything else always stays the same. Keeping that in mind they will have to make lvl1-4 healers do this too which will make them op at lower lvls.

Then comes the discussion of this idea itself, healers are always behind which means giving a heal spell around that point will not really help anyway

Intriguing.

Well, as long as it doesn't last the same amount as the heal spell. It'd be fine.
but someone has to do the math to make it balanced. Not too long, not too short. Not too weak, not too powerful.

I also agree with the fact that healers are pretty much useless later on. I am a very-near maxed TH8 and even then, healers aren't that useful anymore. I can't imagine how useless they become at later TH's, ESPECIALLY 10.

That makes sense but heros ability dose start at five so the possibility could be there. My concern is really to start a discussion on bringing them back in some way that would make them effective at high lvl play. Simply bringing up the stats I dont believe would achive that aim. Brainstorming this is a great idea.. what are your thoughts on a fix?

Just reduce her cost, train time, and housing space. The troop is actually not that bad but the value is not worth the overall cost.

50% cost. Train time 8min. Housing space 7.

Housing space is a viable option more healers would have a greater effect. Awsome idea! But lvl 5 would also be needed to allow them to stack up to max air defense and archer towers

Another option would be to change the Healer into a ground unit or make them invisible to air defense.

If she is a ground unit, have her function the same she currently does, only she is on foot and is a target for ground defense.

If you make her invisible to air defense, I would suggest that she be invisible to ONLY the air defense tower. Allow her to still be targeted by archer towers, wizard towers, x-bows, Tesla towers etc.

Just thoughts to make the healer more relevant at the higher levels

We could make her target air units as well as ground units... Since the lavaloonion strategy is very common amongst the top people in the world it would easily become part of their strategy, thus increasing the use of the healer. Just a thought.:o

This is a discarded idea already by SC

Some air troops would scare me to death if they could be healed by her.
