A New Trap! Introducing the Shockwave

[DragoonXV]

Hey guys, its me again! I've come up with a new idea for a trap called:

The Shockwave! (not sure if this concept has been developed but I'd like to make it more in depth if it hasn't) Please vote on the poll after reading this! I'd like your opinions! Feel free to bash at me it I make any mistakes or it is ruled out!:

• Description - In a little fragile crystal ball lies some powers of electrickery! Better watch your step!

• What it would do - I'd say that this little sucker could send a wave of electric damage. When a troop step on this trap (obviously a ground troop), the bulb would break, sending out a blast which would damage others around it, maybe across a 2-4 tile radius. AFFECTS BOTH AIR AND GROUND TROOPS (I am open for opinions on this, do you think it should be air troops also?)! Stats are in the chart...

• Visuals - The trap would be like a level 1 elixir storage but much smaller and filled with blue-ish sparks. (Like those little static balls you see in science class). When triggered a circle will emerge from the trap and start to spread out around 2-4 tiles (like a shockwave). Anything within that range will be dealt damage only. Once it is activated, what will be left would be a scatter of glass, like a broken elixir storage.

Level	Radius Of Blast	Damage	Cost to Upgrade/Build	Time to Upgrade/Build	Rearm Cost
1 (Unlocked At TH7)	2	55 (2x to Pekka)	75,000	30 mins	8,000
2	2.5	65 (2x to Pekka)	100,000	8 hours	10,000
3	3	75 (2x to Pekka)	150,000	1 day	15,000
4 (Unlocked at Th 8)	3.5	85 (2x to Pekka)	200,000	2 days	20,000
5	4	90 (2x to Pekka)	220,000	4 days	25,000

So this is the basic out look of the trap as it progresses through level ups:

1. Levels 1-2 : The trap would be a basic bulb in the shape of a mini elixir storage. Static every now any then will spark on the inside. It will just lie on the grass.
2. Levels 3-4 : The trap will be still the same size but now the static will be running constantly insides the bulb. It will just lie on the grass.
3. Level 5 : Trap will no longer have static running inside of the trap, rather, there are small electric circles that run from the top to the bottom of the bulb (like a pulse). The bulb will expand a bit. Now the bulb will sit on top of a little metal stand that is implanted on to the ground.

If you guys have any questions feel free the comment below with your opinions as well! I'll update as soon as I can. Don't forget to vote in the poll! (sorry if there is any grammar, I am typing quite fast)...

Great idea. Would this do extra damage to a pekka like the Tesla since it is electric?

Good idea! I almost for got about this! And also for some reason I don't know about the visual transition for the bulb from level 3-4 to 5. I think they needa be switch but I am waiting for others to voice in there opinions!

I like this idea and I kind of agreed with you on the visuals!

My only concern is that it deals electrical damage and when you look at the teslas and realize how powerful they are. I wonder where you would have to nerf this down to make it a balanced factor within the gameplay settings. I agree with everything. I love it. I just wonder how powerful it would be considering how the teslas deal damage. Wonderful idea. Keep building upon it!

i would like to introduce a small idea inspired from your trap that it should slow down the troop instead of making damage because the idea u discussed above is similar to bomb and my idea is totally unique,,,,,your glass contain must contain gas which slow down units , i hope u will like it

Well, thats a good idea however that ideas is quite new. Since I just wanted to make a trap that deals damage (so i don't introduce to much into the game!), I just made a lighting trap!

Of course! But I don't see how a one time impact of 100 DPS is OP. Its not like this spell remains the whole game. I guess I'll nurf it a bit but since I adjust things when I started the post so that this traps still can't kill a barbarian (assuming the level of the barbarian was maxed at whatever TH). Thanks tho! I'll update!

Also, freeze bombs have been suggested already so I decided not to make repost about freezing troops traps! Thanks again!

Great idea, but what would be the cost to build it? 20000?
