Barrier Spell

Barrier would be a new spell acquired at TH9 (along with jump). When cast, creates an area for 10-15s where any units inside of the area have capped incoming damage of 75 / 60 / 50. (level 1, 2, 3 respectively) For instance, a level 10 archer tower hitting at 65 per ping will be unaffected at level 1. However, a level 6 AD hitting at 230 would be reduced to 75 while the barrier is active.

This is intended to be an alternative for rage-dragons, and heal-hogs to make both viable on bigger setups.

This is actually really a cool idea. Good job! Keep working on this!

How would it handle multiple defenses attacking the same troop?

@Buttermink - sorry about that, didn't know that forum existed.

@Dragoon - thanks! hope it gets more attention!

Just the same. It only limits the incoming damage of each individual attack (but every single attack while it is active). For instance:

Say a troop enters a cell where the spell is active @ level 3, and its getting hit by a giant bomb, archer tower, and a wizard tower (wow this unit is in for it).

Giant Bomb @ 255 - limited to 50 damage
Archer Tower @ 65 - limited to 50 damage (per hit)
Cannon @ 65 - limited to 50 damage (per hit)
Wizard Tower @ 35 - no effect, full damage

(i'm just using the DPS here, not sure what the towers actually hit for)

As you can see, this troop is still going to take a lot of damage. It's just meant to limit some of the large potential so that players can be strategic and creative with it. I.E., if they have a good feeling of where a giant bomb is at, they can keep a pack of hogs or wizards alive by putting this down before their troops eat it.

I really like this idea and hope it gets approved.

This is a cool idea. Please do repost it on the correct forum. Or maybe ask a mod to move if for you if you want to keep our comments of support. (My thought is it will get more anyhow)

Your cap is for dps or per hit?

example 80 dps xbow is actually 11 attack hit per 0.128 sec
and about mortar is hit per 3 sec so it can kill archer at same lv one hit

I believe it is a DPS hit. Also, the moratr hits every 5 seconds.

Completely open for discussion really, whatever makes the most sense is best as that would have the best chance of getting pushed through. My thought was geared towards the hit itself, not dps (I was just using dps as an example since I had the stats handy).

In that scenario, faster towers like the xbow would never get capped. Slower towers, however, would be shaved. The primary focus however is to provide a means to make dragons viable against AD if the person is strategic with it, or perhaps allow wizards and hogs to survive a GB.

I did some looking and it turns out someone posted a similar thread about a year ago suggesting that this spell just reduces all damage by a certain % depending on spell level. However, I feel that heal already fills that role fairly well and this would add a better dynamic.
