New Defense | Cold Finger

Description
The Cold Finger is a new 2x2 defense building with the same range as an Inferno Tower.
Only one will be available as it acts (mainly) as a ground counterpart for the air sweeper.
When it attacks it shoots a beam of frost much like a single target Inferno Tower except without doing any damage.

How cold is it?
It focuses on a single target slowly decreasing it's movement speed over 10 seconds, after 10 seconds the target will freeze for an x-amount of seconds. After the target has defrosted the target continues in his default condition, meanwhile the Cold Finger has targeted a new foe.


There's no nip in the air
The Cold Fingers ray is so cold that it freezes it's opponents to the ground. Air units are therefor unaffected by it's freezing capabilities.
Air units are like all other units susceptible for the chill/slow effect of the Cold Finger.


Those who can withstand
The following troops are immune to the freezing effect due to their thick skin/hide.
✔ P.e.k.k.a.
✔ Golems
✔ Golemites
Every troop is affected by the chill effect which slows them down. Heroes can be frozen but can break from their frost stage when their talent is engaged, they can't be frozen when their talent is currently activated.


Statistics

Level	Freeze Time	Hitpoints	Cost to load http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2...8px-Elixir.png	Cost http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2.../20px-Gold.png	Build Time	Town Hall
1	3s	650	30,000	1,000,000	3 days	8
2	4s	690	40,000	2,500,000	5 days	8
3	5s	730	50,000	4,000,000	7 days	9
4	6s	770	60,000	5,000,000	9 days	10

✔ When upgraded the ring on the Cold Finger changes color/material. lvl1: Bronze, lvl2: Silver, lvl3: Gold, lvl4: Obsidian.
✔ Freeze spells do not work on the Cold Finger which doesn't really need an explanation.
✔ The Cold Finger needs to be reloaded with elixir or else it will partially melt away.

Cold versus inferno
Here is what happens when the extremely cold and the unbearably hot have both targeted a single troop:
The Inferno Towers Heat beam will overrule the Cold Fingers frost ray completely. Therefor no freeze nor chill effect takes place on a troop already targeted by an Inferno Tower.


Thank you for reading
Please leave a comment to let me know if you like it or not, and whether i should make any changes to it.

What does the Cold Finger do?
It focuses on a single target slowing it's movement speed by 25%,
after 3 seconds the target slows down by 50%,
after another 3 seconds the targets movement speed is reduced 75%,
finally after another 3 seconds the target will freeze up for 6 seconds.
After the target has defrosted he is continues in his default condition.

Few things:
1. Seems a little OP against troops like pekka, golem and lava hound. either the Cold Finger does not work on these 3 troop types, does less damage on them (because they are big) or has less damage overall
2. can it attack both ground and air?
3. Hitpoints and range?
4. Cost to buy? reloads?
5. Erm...does the freeze spell work on the Cold Finger because that might make no sense at all XD
6. What TH level are they introduced in? How many can i buy (i think 2 to keep bases even)?
7. Does inferno tower damage troops being freezed? This could be a big issue

Its a good idea tho :)

Thank Simon, I was a bit in a hurry when I posted this topic so excuse my rushed explanation.
Great feedback though, also things I hadn't thought about in the first place.
Perhaps it's all a bit to detailed now but I'll leave room for debate.

Cheers!

Looks rather creative. Seems like an ice inferno tower more or less. But overall. Seems decent enough.

Probably could come out on the next christmas update

I think the way you've described this Is way too overpowered. If it were to act like an air sweeper rather than an inferno tower then it could be a decent defense. Like if every 5 seconds or so it would send out a wave of "chill" or whatever cause the troops on an effected area to slow down very temporarily. So by the time the defense reached max level it could slow them down by 40% for 1 second. Just some thoughts.

I've updated the stats a bit plus I've added new images.
Let me know how you feel about it.

How about:
> if a inferno tower is attacking a troop, the ice tower will not attack it. Same goes with a Cold Finger attacking a troop first.
> Multi-target...the Cold Finger just doesn't affect the stronger troops like pekka and golem, so maybe a multi target of 3 multiple troops would be good.

Other then that, impressive!

What if, say 3 giants get frozen? That's 15 housing spaces. I feel the multi target should go with housing space, so maybe it can freeze up to a housing space of 10, as I believe the troops unaffected are the only ones over 10 housing space. I could be wrong, though. Isn't the witch over 10?

Anyway, great idea. I enjoy the idea of a counterpart to the inferno, and like how it unlocks at TH8. Good job!

It's not the housing space that makes certain troops immume to the freezing effect. The balloon has 5 housing space as well yet can't be frozen.

Actually only one target can be frozen at a time. The frozen state is just temporarely and last no longer then 6s while a frostbeam takes 10s to freeze a target. It has no multi target option btw.

Thanks for the feedback! 👍🏻
