What if...
Spring traps could launch air troops?:cool:
Air troops are already OP because they can fly over walls, especially before you get the Xbow. There should be air spring traps so we can launch balloons, or minions, or dragons, or...
Thank you,

Air skellies and the recently added hair dryer. The balance is pretty good at the moment.
Air mine? Air bombs? We have those
Launch air troops to where and why wouldn't they be able to recover since.... well.... they can fly?
You're basically asking for the Air Sweeper. It pushes you back, but if you can fly, why would a push (either by Air as the Sweeper does or by a "spring") do anything besides push you back?
By that same logic, if a barbarian triggers a spring trap, it can just run back into battle after being pushed away. A spring trap pushes them out of the game board so they cannot attack anymore.
And a seeking air mine outright kills them and actually damages the heavier troops that touch it, unlike spring traps.Quote:

There are bombs and seeking mines in the air. There are not spring traps in the air.
We recently got a nerf for air attacks (the sweeper). Also, I am trying to imagine a spring trap trying to jump up and punch an air troop.Quote:

The spring trap would hover in the air. (maybe an enchantment from the Ley lines? ;))
yeah no thanks. air troops were already nerfed enough. we actually need a buff
I don't see this coming because of few reasons..
1. There are already enough things the air attacker need to deal with, adding more and more will just make them impossible, thus making people leave the air attacks behind.
2. How would this trap do its job? Do you see a trap coming from the ground and going up in the air? On the ground it makes sense to be triggered by touching it, but.. in the air?
3. Like Axion said, this would just be another version of an Air Sweeper, just in the shape of a trap.
1. At TH4, you have 1 air defense and 2 archer towers. That's it for defense against the air. I'm not saying air spring traps need to be abundant, just some extra defense.Quote:

Can you imagine spring traps hitting dragons? It's not gonna affect them. It's like a leaf hitting me.
Maybe it pushes them down onto the ground, and OHKOs them from the impact? Also, it doesn't have to be a "spring trap" (It does the same thing (removes them from battle) but doing it differently?)Quote:

Nice analogy. Here's mine:Quote:

Air spring traps = Logic :facepalm:
How would that even work?
And air attacks are not OP, they need a buff.
Even if there was such a thing as an air spring trap, it would most likely only be effective against balloons, minions, and healers; since a ground spring is not effective against PEKKAS and gollums, air spring trap will be ineffective against hounds and dragons. Therefore, what is being requested is an air structure that targets minions, balloons, and healers. The air sweeper targets those troops very effectively. Balloons are slow. Therefore, they get blown away or a spell is used. Healers will stop healing their troops. Minions will just be blown. In conclusion, the air sweeper is as effective as the air spring trap that is being requeted.
