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

Increase here range so she hangs back a little more. Just enough so that if giants she is healing are attacking an AD it cant reach healer by shooting directly over their heads. But make it barely so that anything coming even slightly off angle will reach.

Maybe they could add a dark elixir healer that has this ability. Changing the abilities of troops as the level changes is not something that has done before, and it should remain this way.

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

This wouldn't work because then healers would almost never die, all the other defenses that attack both will be busy attacking Giants and thus a way op raid. This would pretty much insure infinite health on troops.

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?

Believe it or not some people still use them somehow, though i do agree a change of some sort would help.

Some people think they should heal two groups instead of one
Or that new lvl should survive an air mine

i just think that high lvls don't really use healers because of Inferno towers ability to negate healing effects...

Freeze spell is the answer to the inferno tower... healers are way to weak against the high lvl air defense. (Archer tower wiz tower and AD)

ahh and the fact that it will drop a heal spell once it dies is good when you place a freeze spell on the it

It's easy enough to come up with a strategy to protect your healer from AD's but it is impossible to avoid the seeking air mines. It doesn't make sense to send in balloons/drags/etc. to attempt to clear the mines b/c she can't heal them and it's a huge waste of housing space. Why not just give her the same ability minions already have... healers won't set off seeking air mines. That may make her a viable troop again beyond TH7 (especially if they let you upgrade to her to lvl 5).
