New troop: VOLCANO MAGE!

[jaronhudson15]

The damage boost to troops is way to over powered. I could drop one of these guys off in a corner followed by hogs around him to grab the boost. I wouldn't even need to send a lot. I could do bursts of 5-6 to avoid a group getting killed by bombs. Can you imagine a hog that gains a 65% boost to its already high damage? Additionally this raises the question of how it impacts defense when in a clan castle? I was a little unclear but does it also boost your defense as it runs outside permanently? It seems like this guy is taking on a game changing/breaking set of abilities. You're stacking all sorts of damage boosts on him. I would stick with just the boost on his targeted buildings, otherwise I don't see it ever being introduced to the game.

I agree, the permanent damage boost when troops are deployed next to the VM needs to go, but he said 'small damage boost,' so perhaps we haven't anything to worry about?

I think we should have the VM just weaken buildings for other troops, giving this small damage boost may be a little too much.

Cool troop

This is a very nice idea, and a great thread as well!

Quick question, what happens when the volcano Mage dies/goes out of range of the troops it gives a damage boost to? The troops still get the damage boost right?

And can he boost the damage of air troops?

Give it a staff and its good to go.

Personally I think it should be holding a flaming staff instead of having the fire in its hand. Love the art and concept though! This idea has gotten even better than when I first read it a while ago.

Good idea, I like it. Would be hard to change the art now though but I'll try

Main brain? Try ONLY brain. Well, at least my troop is so popular it's spreading to other places!

I'm going to answer this with a simple sentence: That's the only way I thought of to make the Volcano Mage useful and allow him to support all troops.

And no, on defense, he does not boost defenses he boosts defending Clan Castle troops.

In my opinion, the VM was too weak to be a town hall 10 troop when he only had that ability.

Cool troop

Thanks

Well, the VM targets buildings so to take advantage of that damage boost, troops (yes it also includes air) must be attacking that same building unless they already have the small damage boost.

Wait so troops get a damage boost that lasts for the entire battle if they are within the radius at the time of deployment OR attack the same building? Or is the boost for those attacking the same building only temporary?

There's two things: the damage boost upon deployment (aka small damage boost) and the regular boost the VM gives when attacking a building.

Small damage boost: equal to half of the VM's normal damage boost. Any nearby unit when the VM is first deployed will gain this small boost and it will last for the entire raid (or until that troop(s) being affected dies).

Normal damage boost: when the VM is attacking a buildinrgg, he does damage and makes that targeted building take more damage until it is destroyed. Will only affect one building at a time, but he does small splash damage so it is possible it could affect multiple defending CC units at a time.

Get it now?
