Inferno bomb. New trap idea.

Dear readers,

Title: Inferno bomb

Background story:
Don't you just hate it, you build an extremely tough base and just when you start getting a lot of recourses for your next upgrade someone decides to raid your village. The army your village is facing consists of 22 Giants, 2 healers and a whole lot of Barbarians and Archers.

The 22 Giants start smashing your walls and before you know it, they are in the center of your village, destroying every single defensive building that is protecting your precious recourses. With the Healers backing up the Giants there is just no stopping them. Except for the occasional spring traps that catapult them out of your village.

Actual proposal:

• Current situation/Problem: Giants and Healers are an overpowered combination. Very hard to effectively stop.

• Solution: The solution to this would be to introduce an Inferno bomb. The bomb would have a radius of 3 tiles and does damage over time while also blocking any healing effects (due to the extreme heat). The bomb should be unlocked at Town Hall level 7 and a second bomb at Town Hall level 9.

More details:

This is for a level 1 trap.
Type: Trap
Damage type: Damage over time
Side effects: Blocks any form of healing
Size of the trap : 2x2 squares*
Radius of the trap: 3 squares*
Duration: 5 seconds*
Damage: 25 damage per second on 10 targets*
Cost to build: 1.500.000 gold*
Cost to recharge: 20.000 gold*
Cost to upgrade: 1.000.000 gold each level*
Unlocked at: Town hall 7 and Town hall 9*


I think there should be 4* levels for this trap.

Level 1
Damage: 25 damage per second*
Duration: 5 seconds*
Radius: 3 squares*

Level 2
Damage: 28 damage per second*
Duration: 6 seconds*
Radius: 3 squares*

Level 3
Damage: 30 damage per second*
Duration: 7 seconds*
Radius: 3,5 squares*

Level 4
Damage: 32 damage per second*
Duration: 8 seconds*
Radius: 3,5 squares*

The base damage could also be lowered while adding a multiplier for Giants.

Thanks for reading my proposal. Feel free to post your ideas/improvements.

Yours,
Smitso

* The visual and detailing aspects of this proposal lie completely with Supercell. As well as the amount of bombs and when they are unlocked. I merely posted an idea.

I like the idea and its detail (I'm known for loving detail :smirk:) and love the concept! I only think it might be a bit OP so it may need a new troop/troop level depending on how powerful it is.

Good idea! Needs more detail....

9/10

Damage fix please

Looks good to me. Nice job op.

Thanks for your reply. Added a few more details just now.

As for the trap being to overpowered..

Don't forget that the Healers healing ability is a splash healing. All Giants will be healed as long as they are in range. The level 4 healer has a healing per second of 71 hit-points. That is, given the fact that a level 7 Giant has 1100 hit-points insane. Especially when there are 10 Giants (level 7 Giants do 100 damage per second!)

So, blocking the healing for a given amount of seconds gives your base a fighting chance. Else it's just hoping they walk over your spring traps. As you won't shoot them down with 1 or 2 healers following them.

I hope I made myself and my ways of thinking a bit more clear. If not, feel free to reply.

Yours,
Smitso

How many levels will it have? Because a total of 10 seconds and 28 DPS and 10 targets makes 2,800 total damage or 280 damage per troop. Imo, it should have maybe 3 levels and these should be the stats for maximum level.

Look at Anthony's threads... Sort your idea like his...

Thanks for your reply. I think it should have like 3 or 4 levels.

Please let me elaborate the damage I proposed;

Given the fact that a Giant level 7 has 1100 hit-points - 280 damage doesn't sound like much, does it?
Also, a level 4 Healer can heal 71 hit-points per second. 10 Giants x 71 makes a total of 710 hit-points healed PER SECOND. That is insane compared to the limited splash damage that a max base can deal (apart from Town hall 10 with Inferno towers).

An Inferno bomb would have a smaller range, less power, and a given duration compared to the Inferno tower. Do you think those are to overpowered? Maximum Inferno towers do 42 damage per second to 5 targets over a 9 square radius. For unlimited time. And it blocks healing effects.

So to summarize, I don't believe they will be to over powered to start at 28 damage per second. Perhaps the level 1 could start at 25? And the final, level 4 could be like 32 damage per second.

Yours,
Smitso

Link me there.

And as there is no official template to post ideas, you will have to deal with the way I did mine.

As it is still better then a non formatted piece of text.
