<request> frost dragon
hello,
after playing Clash of clans for over a year now, I have still noticed that there is still a number of dark elixir units to fill in.
just as an idea, I have been thinking about a new support unit, so far, the only real one is the healer in the Barracks, I mean, you can sort of count golems and lava hounds as support as they are only really there to soak up damage. that's why I was thinking, why not have a unit that can immobilise defences for support, much like that of frost spell. trying to keep to the game's medieval feel, I thought of a mythical beast from the era being the frost dragon, though it might sound a little too powerful for the game, there a ways to make it a much more balanced unit for both defensive and offensive strategies,
lets take the offensive side (attacking) first. to have a unit that has a wide splash range to disable defences would be rather unfair, so making it disable one at a time will balance this out, this give allied units the opportunity to take them out without being slaughtered, having a large amount of heath like it's normal fire breathing counterpart sounds rather fair, however, doing damage whilst freezing is incredibly unfair as a swarm of frost dragons could single handily wipe out a base with ease, to balance this the unit would need to have no damage (or perhaps minor damage if upgraded, like 10 DPS or something )
now with the defensive side, having the characteristics as described above, there is a reason why it would be sort of unfair to have this in your clan castle, freezing every unit in sight would sort of annoy the attacker, narrowing down the splash radius to 1-2 tiles is plenty, freezing hostile troops will make it easy for defences to kill units, having a small radius will also give the enemy player the fair chance to kill it with other units.
other notes that you may consider is it's appearance, troop space, speed and cost. this (as everything so far) is up to you own device . however, may I please have a say in a few of the categories, the frost dragon can be modelled on the normal dragon, in speed, and appearance (though extras can be added such as horns, black eyes (dark elixir theme), varying colours based on level,( such as white, light blue etc. 'ice colours') the troops space may need to be slightly higher, ( like 22-25 troop space), as this unit can be very advantageous, an appropriate cost may be needed, (like 500 dark elixir or something higher)
thank you for your time and please keep up the good work!!!:)
regards
Jaylem
