New Defense Ideas: The Ice Spike and The Trapdoor

The Ice Spike is a defensive tower that "freezes" or slows down enemy troops while they are within its range. This is referenced from the Freezing spell in the game, only this time it is used for defense against the enemy.

Here are its stats :

Hitpoints :

Level 1 490 HP
Level 2 560 HP
Level 3 630 HP
Slow Rate :

Level 1 -10% troop speed
Level 2 -15% troop speed
Level 3 -25% troop speed

Building Cost : 650,000 G or whatever you want it to be.
Range : As far as the Tesla tower's.
I suggest it could be unlocked after TH6 or 7 but Its only a suggestion.

* I do not mean to mandate. The levels and their corresponding stats are only suggestions.

It can help a lot against fast enemies like goblins ang hogs.

Now for the Trapdoor.

The Trapdoor is an additional trap. It is self-explanatory, the Trapdoor opens whenever a troop steps on it. ( Just like a spring trap. ) The trapdoor opens up and troops fall into it. The Trapdoor, however, unlike most traps, can still operate until the battle ends, catching troops that step into it. 10% of the Elixir used to create the troops that fall into it will be combined together and can be collected. It still needs to be re-armed.

I suggest that this be unlocked at TH 6. It will improve the Clash of Clans economy. It could also fit in with the TH 11.

I don't like the ice spike. It will be too OP. What I didn't like about the trapdoor was becoming a primary source of elixir/dark elixir. 0% support for ice spike and 50/50 for the trapdoor.

both good ideas. both ruled out.

The Ice spike's stats are set to balance it. Because it slows down troops, It has a low health so it can easily be destroyed.
The slow rate too is a bit low so troops can still rush to it and destroy it. Thank you for your support for the trapdoor.

I didnt know they were ruled out.

V. 1.1

The slow rate of the ice spike is reduced.
The elixir/dark elixir caught by the trapdoor is also reduced.

We already have a defence that slows down troops, the air sweeper. Trapdoor might work though

The air sweeper can only affect air troops. And it only pushes them back. The Ice Spike slows them down. Just to be clear.
