New defense! The Air Boomer

[jobro]

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

Minions will be afraid of this defense. Lol. Balloons, meh.

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?

Thanks man
Of course, SC will be the dictator of how this defense looks, attacks, and what the shots would look like, etc.

Dragon/Balloon raids are too OP. This will help alot against them. As long as you balance this defense well it will work perfectly.
BTW, thanks for your feedback on my Shielder idea!

[jobro]

No problem mate!
How can i balance it out? This defense is most effective against a bloonion raid, it isnt very effective against massed dragons. But thanks for the feedback man!

Air defense, along with the air & ground defenses, are more than enough to keep air raids challenging to execute. I don't think it's necessary to further nerf them, especially looking at how weak this would make balloons and minions (especially when paired with wizard towers and air bombs).

Have you looked at how pathetic the damage per shot is? It cant even destroy the level 2 minion in 1 shot. Plus, i nerfed the hp so that it would be easier to destroy. It shouldnt have too much of an effect on ballooms unless it fires on them for a significant amount of time. It makes sense that the air boomer does more damage than a mortar, because the ad does more damage than a regular defense.

That’s very easy! Simply make Dragons weaker to the Air Boomer! I’d say damage is multiplied by 4-6 when hitting Dragons!

Anyway, I can sketch some artwork if you want some. Its starting to get boring after Christmas and I have all the time!

Cool, thanks man! I would love the reference art man!
Also, thanks for the feedback i might make it a little more effective against dragons.

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: 7
Damage per Shot: 35
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:9
Damage per Shot: 45
HP:450
Available at th level 8

Level 3
Cost: 4,000,000 gold
Time to Upgrade: 8 days
Damage per Second:12
Damage per Shot:60
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!

Wizard Towers can attack air and do splash damages...
Plus, air bombs do splash damages...
