New troop: VOLCANO MAGE!

[AnthonyVince]

So this is sorta like the rager that is frequently requested. (A healer but like a rage spell). Except that it doesn't increase speed and it's a ground unit. Right? I like the idea.

Well, yeah. But, it doesn't directly increase troops' damage. It makes buildings take more damage, which means instead of dropping the Volcano Mage behind the troops you want to help, you drop your Volcano Mage on the buildings you want to destroy quicker, and then drop units that you want to destroy that building faster.

Then your troop needs a buff. It is the same housing space as a healer, but a healer has four times the hit points. The healer also is immune to traps. The healer also flies. the healer also can stay behind the troops out of range instead of having to move up and shoot at buildings. If the healer needs to do all this to be effective, how will the volcano Mage survive very long? If it is up with all the other troops instead of staying back, and it has spring traps, bombs, skeleton traps, and giant bombs to worry about; and has the quarter of the hitpoints of a healer, and has to be on the ground so it deals with walls; how will it be worth it? It will die to soon. It needs to have a longer range and more hitpoints in my opinion.

Anthony this is the BEST troop I've ever seen/heard about! (probably better than mine)
I really hope to see this troop in the game!

Then you have never heard of the:

Doesn't exist

Idea.

Now on the troop, I think targeting 6 buildings is a bit much. 4-5 max would be better.

Still the best troop idea......

Still the best troop idea......

By far the best idea on the Forums.

[Coolbro20]

Cant argue with that! (not that I ever will/have)

[Nolanvw]

I have added a big buff to him. Read below to see.

Wow! Thanks

I'm glad...


Here's what's new!
*The Volcano Mage can now only target four buildings at once!
*The Volcano Mage now has an even bigger damage boost!
*Hitpoints have been increased on the Volcano Mage across all levels!

I agree with the others that it is the best troop idea but it still seems to be weak when looked at by my healer example. Although it isn't a perfect example since the defenses will be killed off faster then if a healer is with the troops, it still appears to be weak. I think to be the most powerful troop in the game you need to increase the range, increase the hitpoints (again) or decrease housing space from 14 to 12.
