New trap: Permafrost

This trap will have to be repurchased like bombs and spring traps. This trap will cover a 1 square radius and you will only get 1 to start when you unlock it. When you unlock it and the cost will
have to be up to Supercell. Basically, when any ground troop steps on it, they will be frozen for about 5 seconds, and the trap doesn't do a lot of damage, but the damage is progressive. More than 1 single ground troop can step on it and be affected. The troops frozen can be shot by defenses.

Please leave your feedback on this new trap idea and what you would change.

Wouldn't everyone just move to an open walled funnel base.. luring all the troops onto the permafrost while every defense pounds em?

I find it funny you called its permafrost [perma is the part that means permanant] yet it only lasts 5 seconds lol

How about as soon as the permafrost's 5 seconds are up, it will disappear. No more troops will be able to be frozen by the trap.

Yeah i just noticed that hahaha.

I thought that it WOULD go away after the first group goes on it. I didn't realize you wanted it to happen multiple times. Also like they said funnels would be super over powered if this was in the game, especially if you unlock more than 1, because then you could do a funnel base where there's one at the beginning then 2 spaces over and so on. I don't know how to make this non-OP other than making the freeze time 1 second.

I think this with a 'black hole' base design would be a bit overpowered.

Not really multiple times. The trap would be timed for 5 seconds after a troop steps on it, then it would disappear. Really in my opinion, this is not that overpowered as I said you only get 1. Although i said this trap does provide progressive damage, it wouldn't do much damage in the first place and after 5 seconds, the trap is gone. And how about this, after the trap goes off a freezes a group, the troops will avoid it. Other than this, i have no other changes.

I actually like this idea a lot, but have you thought about:

• Up to what troop will it support? Will giants, pekkas, golems, etc. be affected by Permafrost?
• How many units can be frozen at once? For the spring trap, it's 15 units, so will it be more or less than that?
• Will you receive more at higher town hall levels (9, 10)

I personally think this is a good idea, we definitely need more types of traps.

I don't think you get any free spells when you unlock them...

1: Can support below a 10 housing space capacity, meaning up to valkyries can be affected.

2: Troops frozen at once will be equal to the spring trap.

3: To prevent this from being overpowered, I think you should only get one and place it cleverly to get the maximum effect out of it.

And to add on to number 3, I believe the permafrost will be unlocked at Town Hall lvl 9.

Interesting ideas you have. I've seen a bunch of threads for freeze spells, and although I do remember some freeze type traps threads, I think it's been awhile. I added freeze/permafrost trap idea in the sticky, for some reason I didn't have a freeze spell in there. There was sticky trap and stun, which are sort of the same idea, but freeze seems cooler seeing as they just went with a "hot" theme last update.

I'd like to up the freeze to 10 seconds, and strategically place it within range of at least 3 mortars (2 shots each) and at least a handful of other defenses. I think a freeze trap would be better used inside the walls where holding the enemy still maximizes the basically free shots from the defenses on the troop(s).

First of all, thank you for adding this idea to the sticky, I really hope it gets implemented into the game. Second, I have realized that there are a lot of updates that are involved with the Fiery Fortress Update (except new level 11 walls coming in next update). Finally, I thought 10 seconds for this trap would be a little overpowered, but, you are a smart guy Twister, and if you think the freeze time should be 10 seconds, then it should be 10 seconds. Again, thanks for reading this idea and posting your feedback.
