New troop: VOLCANO MAGE!

[Theking8133]

Hey not trying to be annoying, but what makes this any different from a regular wizard? It seems like it's pretty much the same thing just with different stats and a different appearance/name.

If it had different stats, name and appearance, what's the same? Oh yeah... it's a ranged troop.

Some people have commented that this troop might be too similar to a Wizard or a Witch (I don't know, ask them). So I've decided to make some clarifications.

Why this is not similar to a witch...a question I never thought I'd answer
The only thing similar is that the Volcano Mage is a ranged troop, and does low/medium damage. However, the Volcano Mage does not spawn skeletons, he attacks buildings to make them take more damage. Also, what's different about their damage levels is that they have similar damage at level 1, but the Volcano Mage's damage DRASTICALLY increases while upgrading levels. The Volcano Mage's max damage per attack is 105 and the Witch's is 35, I think.

Why this is not similar to a Wizard
There are three main things that could make you think this is a Wizard at first glance. Probably because of its name.


mage
[ māj ]
NOUN archaic literary
noun: mage · plural noun: mages

• a magician or learned person.

Yes, a Mage is synonymous to a Wizard, but a Witch is very similar to a Wizard as well. Secondly, the Wizard is a high-damaging super cool attack troop, while the Volcano Mage is a medium damage terrorizing-when-used-correctly support troop. There is no similarity, really. Finally, the Volcano Mage has a special ability, and I have already explained that which you would know if you read the original post.


I hope this explains to all of you who think this troop is similar to a Wiz/Witch why it's not. But if it doesn't, feel free to comment and tell me why. Thanks.

Well, this troop is THE EXACT same thing as a P.E.K.K.A. After all, they both should be in Clash of Clans.

sorry but to me this new troop is just to much like a wizard he does splash damage and attacks both air and ground units he also uses a ranged attack. how about this a shamen or some type of magical expert. He makes the troops attack faster do more damage or something on those lines. but make him have some attack or he will become the new val. but make him be easily destroyed. on the weaknesses you listed giant bombs the problem with that is when the regular troops like your barb king cross it. the big bomb will hit him and more than likely not the volcano mage. Also mortar towers go after the troop that is the closest and again it would hit the barb king. So maybe add something like he takes more damage from some type of defense.

Seriously... ALL ranged troops attack ground and air. So the only thing that REALLY makes him similar is splash damage. A dragon is ranged. A dragon does splash damage. A dragon attacks ground and air troops. Is a dragon like a wizard? NO!

I'm sorry, but this makes me want to do the most EPIC facepalm ever. If you would notice, only two posts back from yours:

Honestly, is there anyone who actually reads the thread?

And again I thank you, King, for actually seeing how this is nothing like a Wizard, and one of the few who actually reads an idea.

I like how the damage boost doesn't stack between other volcano mages. Very smart.

Could you imagine an entire army of these with a dragon, or a P.E.K.K.A. if they did...

[Somethingrandomforaname]

This is so stupid. Only about half of the repays are from you commenting when someone else does and then only about two thirds of that actually like the idea. This would be OP. it also looks like a wizard and it is a Mage(other word for wizard) and its splash damage in fireballs. It's also got a hood etc.
