New Trap Idea: Stink Bomb

I had an idea for a trap that might give us more options for diverting troops instead of just walls.

Stink Bomb - When triggered, buildings in a small area will be covered with a stench that troops will avoid (not target) for a short amount of time.

I don't really think this is too overpowered, it just depends on how long the effect lasts, but it might also have to exclude the Townhall, since an obvious place for it would be near the Townhall to divert troops away from it. Also, upgrading the trap might increase the duration by a small amount.

What do you all think? Obviously its nothing to hype about, it's a small idea but I think it'd fit okay with the game.

Seems a little worthless.

It would be used to divert troops away from its location, which isnt a very powerful thing, but its reasonably powerful for a trap

Seems a bit OP IMO... Think about putting your stink bomb next to your infernos... It would be extremely powerful, especially for a trap.

i will observe that and will keep you posted if it works. interesting.. :confused:

I do see that being a problem, I'm suggesting a very short amount of time, perhaps 2 seconds? It's a bit tough with inferno towers, I wish there was a better counterplay to them...

I'm also suggesting maybe only 1 or 2 of them tops

That's why I don't think this is such a great idea. It would make attacks a bit too random as well seeing as players can't plan out their attacks accordingly with the stink bomb. Imagine a golem going for a defense, but then a stink bomb activates and he decides to go completely outside and around the base, leaving a group of wizards completely defenseless. It would cause frustration all around, especially as it's a trap.

Ah yeah I can see why this trap might not be the best ^^' oh well, I would love to see some different types of traps though. Thanks for your responses, If you wouldn't I did post a thread pretty recently about making changes to the lightning spell, and I'd love to hear your opinion on it

I love the idea and think it is very unique, but instead of making them stay away from the Bomb, maybe just changing their target?

I think it's a great idea but It should not last more than 10 seconds at level one and I hope supercell adds this

Yeah the spell work work like this, after troops get in a certain range, all buildings within a certain range are marked with a "stench" status, causing troops to not target buildings with this status

After some thinking, I thought that maybe it'd be better if it only effected smaller troops (20 spaces and above would be immune) what do you all think of that?
