new trap: air net

ok i think this will be my last thread for today :p

a trap that ensnares air units, bringing them down to the ground and immobilizing them. they can still attack but can not move and can be attacked by cannons, mortars, melee clan castle units, etc.

would it be permanent or temporary? would it take down one unit (underpowered vs. minion) or multiple units (overpowered vs. dragons)? maybe it could be permanent and take down units in an area equal to up to 20 camp spaces, so it could take down 10 minions, 4 balloons, or 1 dragon, and lavahound could be immune?

would balloons still attack and damage themselves? maybe an ensared balloon would just explode as soon as it's brought down?

would an ensnared unit set off ground traps? maybe even a spring trap? would a spring trap eject balloons before they could detonate?

would it be a launcher that could attack in any direction within an area like air mines? or would the units have to be directly over it like bombs and spring traps?

thank you for any and all consideration of my ideas and suggestions :D

or maybe a spring trap would undo the snare effect and free the unit back into the sky! :eek:

Seeing as the air game is relatively balanced right now, I see no reason to add an air trap.

You said that this trap would bring those troops to the ground and that they wont be able to move, what is an air sweeper targets them? Will the troops get pushed back? If they troops cant move how and what will they be able to attack?

This would ruin all the balloon parties I am out for sure:thumbsdown::thumbsdown::thumbsdown::thumbsdow n::thumbsdown:

they'd be able to attack any buildings or castle units near where they're grounded as long they are within the normal attack range

because they'd be grounded they'd no longer be considered air units, so air defence/mines/sweepers wouldn't target them, but cannons, mortars, melee units, etc could

say it works like i suggested and one air net could only take down 4 balloons at a time, you start with only 1 net trap at some high th level like 7 or 8, maybe max out with 3 total at th 10

success of the net trap would be highly dependent on where its placed. if it's out on the edge of the map where you deploy, well if there's only 2 of them at th 9, they're either close together and take out a lot of balloons or none at all if you deploy on the other side. put them on opposite sides and maybe 1 gets 4 and the other gets none or you deploy where they aren't and lose 0.

put them inside the base and yeah theyll take your balloons down but next to buildings that will be damaged/destroyed when the balloons detonate

and 4 balloons would be the maximum provided they're clustered together tight enough, if they spread out it could only get 3 or 2 or even just 1

on top of that, maybe lavahounds could trigger them but not be effected, thus wasting them in the same way pekka/golem/heroes waste spring traps
