New defense! The Air Boomer

[Rodepidk]

Arent we making the game too complicated if we are adding anything we can think of, i think there are enough defences and balloons are already slow and vulnerable to airdefence, while the minions are already getting ♥♥♥♥ed with air bombs, maybe it is just good as is is now

Ok, so we have an air defense, but it is single target. What about one that is like a mortar, but for air units!
Name:Air Boomer
The shots look like max level air defense rockets, but much larger, as a bigger firework was needed for the splash damage effect. It fires a single shot every 5 seconds. The appearance at level 1 is like a level 1 ad, but larger. The level 2 ab looks much like a level 6 ad, but with only a single rocket. The level 3 ab has a completely different appearance. It is made out of a bronze type metal, that is supposed to form the base and the barrel. When it shoots, there is a bronze pipe that emits smoke, much like a mortar. All levels fire the same rockets as the level 8 air defense.
Range: 10 tiles, 2 tile blind spot.



Level 1

Cost:500,000 gold
Time to Build: 2 days
Area splash: 2.5 tiles
Damage per Second: 20
Damage per Shot: 100
HP: 400
Available at th level 7, to make dragon spamming less effective

Level 2
Cost:1,250,000 gold
Time to Upgrade: 4 days
Damage per Second:22
Damage per Shot: 110
HP:450
Available at th level 8

Level 3
Cost: 4,000,000 gold
Time to Upgrade: 8 days
Damage per Second:25
Damage per Shot:125
HP: 520
Available at th level 9

Strengths:
Large area of splash damage
Long range
Balloons and minions will have a hard time getting to the blind spot.

Weaknesses:
Blind spot makes it weak to balloons if they get in quick enough
Slow rate of fire and rather inaccurate
Dragons can easily destroy this defense.

The Air Boomer is a Balloon's worst nightmare! Its large area of effect fireworks do massive splash damage to all air units, but Dragons pose a serious threat!

I tried not to make it too op, so if you have any suggestions, please post!

Jobro, as much as i like you, this idea is freaking awful. First reason is minions don't stand a chance and it ruins balloonian. You want a splash tower for ai, set your infernos to multi and upgrade your wiz towers. Air traps are far superior to ground traps everything balances out. Why not spend your time trying to wreck gowiwi too, this makes defenses too op where they are already better than the air troops and the hound goes to show that SC wants to fix it but can't

[jobro]

Harshly decreased damage, even a lvl 2 minion can survive a shot.

[Venomben]

1 thousand times better

[jobro]

Yay!
So the main problem was that it did too much damage...

[jobro]

The accurracy of this defense would be like the machine gun on boom beach, but 50% more accjrate

[jobro]

I must be better at making troop ideas than defense ideas lol

[Venomben]

or bad at both lol jk

wonderful, i looked at it and thought it would be waaaayyy to OP but it was actually good, i really like it, of course, well leave the final stats to SC right?

Just something unique, i want a air defense that does splash damage.

it does. Not as obvious when firing at drags or balloons but with a swarm of minions you can see it.
