Tower Idea For Tower Defence

[beneuto01]

I have an idea for a tower. It's called the Sniper Tower. This tower can shoot arrows at mobs and make them lose 25% of their health (if upgraded it can do more damage). It can be a 5x5 tower and only shoots arrows once every 1o seconds. This cannot be changed through upgrades. You can also only place this once during the game and can cost about 4000 coins. What do you guys think?

so basically mix an archer tower with a leech and call it fair
you realise making any mob lose a quarter of their health from 1 shot means you will kill them in 4 flipping shots
and that would apply for anything whether it be a level 0 blaze or a level 5 giant
SO No
this is to similar to an archer tower and it is just a version which is WAY to OP

Well, it shoots once every 10 seconds, meaning it wouldn't be able to kill a giant in 4 hits because it would be past, but i see what you mean.

That woudl be cool, but maybe an extended reach? Like maybe 20-30 block reach? Also, 25% of mob health would be crazy, so maybe just a set amount of damage like for example: 4 damage to zombies, but not 4 damage to EVERYTHING, for everything else stronger than the zombie, it would do less than 4 damage.

So maybe a set amount of damage because all mobs have different amounts of defense

That doesn't make it balanced it still can take the strongest mob in all of the game and quarter its health in 1 shot

mobs lose a quarter of their health when they are shot
100
75
56.25
42.1875
31.640625
and you get the point. but this tower is as equally unnecessary as it is overpowered. there is no point in adding this.

I think it's too powerful and too unwieldy. Yes it can do massive damage, but it shoots every 10 seconds and costs 4k coins? Good lock setting up to actually help you win.
