About this thread:
Why I suggest this:
I'm sure you guys agree air attacks are too powerful with the addition of the lava hound. I did some research on the Internet and YouTube to look at other peoples solutions. So I made sure to do research on this and I'm not sure how many of you guys watch YouTube on clash of clans so I figured I would toss their idea here that will lead up to more details. The most helpful ones I have fount would be:By Spencer23$: Level 7 wizard and level 9 wizard towers.
He made a statement that level 7 barch and level 7 Giants were 2 months apart. So it's likely the next thing is going to be a new troop. I agree the new troop upgrade should be the wizard. I understand they may be trying to go in order but it's the only upgrade that makes sense and wouldn't be very over powered.
Comparing to other solutions:
A. "Nerf the lavahound."-LavaHound isn't the issue. It's just how strong the troop combo is. You can't nerf a troop for doing its purpose.
B."Nerf the balloons"-Yeah you could do this, but they were functioning fine before the lavaloonion raids. No need to fix it if it's not broken.
C."Add an Air-defense/Level."- There's not really a lot of space for a new building and this would hurt all air raids not just one. If a level was added then again you would be ruining all air attacks.
Video of the OP lavaloonion Attack:
http://youtu.be/Bm2FrVUyAa4
It was a struggle; BattleBorn007 did a raid and we couldn't record it. He got 88% with poor spell placement and troop deployment on a almost maxed out townhall 9. He then managed to find a YouTuber with a lavaloonion raid montage.
What does the video show/prove?
Shows how OP the lavaloonion has become and the small damage the wiz tower does to them. Proves there needs to be some balancing. The wizard towers don't do
enough and a new airdrefense/level still wouldn't help defend this. Supports my
Wizard Tower suggeestion.
Are you just using Spencer23$'s idea?
No, he's okay with me sharing his idea onto here so it generates more discussion :). As most of you on the IFR are very critical of any suggestions; I figured this is the best place. I added stats, and a very detailed breakdown; just borrowed his concept.
Here is his video:
http://youtu.be/VgapI4sVgx8
Wizard level 7 (Stats)
Damage per second: 185 damage per second (previous was 180)
Training cost: 4500
Damage Per Hit: 285
Hit points: 172 hit points
Upgrade Cost: 8 mil (previous was 7.5)
Lab time: 17 days (previous 14)
Unlocked: Lab Level 8
Appearance: You Can go about this in 2 ways.
Black wizard:
Of course flaming eyes as its predecessor level did and most max troops
(A possibility) Red on his coat lining
Red Fire balls (or black. I'm trying to encorperate the tower 10 with both the choices.)
Note: The overall design looks like this.

Red wizard and why this is the BETTER choice:
Level 6 wizard is a dark red so I think it'll only make sense to follow in the pattern of it being red. It'll certainly look better on a black wizard tower rather than a black wizard.
It'll also have flaming eyes, black coat lining and will shoot black fireballs. (Really would go well with the wizard tower.)
Note: This is the overall design.

Level 9 Wizard Tower(Stats)
As the addition to the level 7 wiz you have to add a new tower level. This is just natural progression.
Damage per second: 56 damage per second
Damage per hit: 72.4 (Following the upgrade pattern of 10.4 per upgrade.)
Damage Multiplyer: 2.0 to balloons (They do hardly anything right now.)
Hit points: 920
Upgrade cost: 7,600,000
Build time: 13 days (previous 10)
Appearance: It could be a crystal tower with a charcoal tint (level 8 is close to black so it makes sense it will match the townhall.)
Red Column crowns (like the edges of the cannons and xbows.)
Red or black wizard ( that depends on how it blends with the tower. I prefer red but ethier or.)
Lava could be added but I felt it'll clash with inferno towers.
Note:This is just the color it would look like. (I'm not a talented artist so I couldn't make the idea I had in mind usin the level 8 wiz tower with the red crowns and wizard at the top.)
Black Wizard Tower: Red Orbs and a Red wizard. (With lava on collums flowing down.)

Red Tower:
Red orbs and a Balck wizard.

Feed Back: If you have any suggestions let me know :) I'm open to
suggestions. If you are any good at concept art then maybe you can help me so I don't have to use google.
Thanks to: BattleBorn007 and Slaskio for assisting me.
Special thanks to Spencer23$ and Ashlain for allowing the use of their videos :)
Very special thanks to Dinner for her artwork :)
I did not make these images as I am not an artist.
