New Healer Idea

I'm a maxed th8 and I have noticed that no one uses healers anymore. The air defences make it so that healers are very ineffective. So now my friend and I have come up with a way to make healers effective again.

Basically, when the healer is upgraded to level 3, the player can go to the barrack, press healer info, and choose to toggle it to a ground troop(you can not toggle them during raids). The new healers would then have reduced healing but they would be less vulnerable.

And to make air healers still useful, when healers are in air mode will give every troop in her blast radius a 1 second shield, blocking them from some damage. Additionally, the healer will heal herself a portion of the health she helped recover. Here are the new stats:

Edit: Every 5th shot is a shield blast that lasts for 3 seconds.

Healer lvl3: (ground)
Heal: 30
Health: 680
(Air)
Heal:58
Health:720
Shield: 10%
Self recovery:15%

Healer lvl4: (ground)
Heal: 50
Health:780
(Air)
Heal:62
Health:820
Shield:15%
Self recovery:20%

Thanks for reading, feedback is much appreciated.

(Note: ground healers cannot target air troops.)

Some troops just lose their worth over time, move on to new troops.

Less vulnerable?

Now they have 7 cannons and 4 motors shooting at them, big bombs, little bombs, spring traps, barb king

I always thought flying troops were the strongestest, plus Supercell has already been working to up the power of healers.

That's why you use healers with giants...

In what way? Air defenses still kill them

have you ever tried a full dragon raid. they seem to be fairly strong.

Yes I have, how does this relate?

its good but isnt 1 second a bit too long because she heals troops about every second

Good point, I'll change it a bit.

I'm a mid TH9 who has been using giant/healer since TH7 and healers still work great for me. You need to find the right base and you need to place the healers strategically but it's by far the best and most cost effective strategy I have ever used. Just learn how to use it.

That's only if you're raiding th9s that have no idea what their doing.

Right, that's why I said you you need to find the right base. AD's just beyond the outside walls is usually key but not always depending on base layout. These bases are plentiful, especially with the new matchmaking tweak.

they may be allittle to op now,
but I like idea :3

Wrong - a th 10 in my clan uses like 5-6 healers, giants, nice spells, and hogs amid other troops and normally can get a 2 star, which is a very difficult feat

The idea of the healers is that they are an air unit in a ground attack so you have to take down ads on your way first. I agree that they are too weak in th10 cw attacks because attacks are much faster because of the infernos, many spells and strong single point damage units, but in farming they could still be used if they would not need so long to build (at the moment attack frequency is better than strong units, maybe this will change with new matchmaking), but it requires skill and a good strategy. Placing them as ground troops tanked by your giants, the whole strategy is gone. Also healing 50 points per second would still be way too op as long as they still heal a whole group.

The strategy won't exactly be gone, considering they will have the range of a wizard, so giant bombs will still do big damage, also 50 heal points is pretty much the same amount they normally heal.

I'm a high level th 9 and I use GiHeMiWi as my typical strategy, it works out really well for me. (Giant Healer Minion Wizard). In my opinion, we need a level 5 healer. maybe with a blue or green aura.

At nearly max TH9, healer is still my favorite for both raiding and war attack.

+ For raiding: Giant Healer Archer Barbarian Goblin
+ War: Giant Healer Wizard Hog Witch: consistently 3 starred maxed out TH9 enemies.

Healer became even better recently as it now does not trigger air bomb and seeking air bomb anymore.
