Different Take on Chain Lightning

[Karawasa]

What about this:

A chain lightning spell that increases in damage x% every time it bounces. But here is the cool part, after a few bounces it will start picking random creeps (in your area) to bounce to.

Yes, it is Wrath of Nature from DotA. I think it is a cool ability and could be fun in a TD. But,

Like? Dislike?

Well, it can't possibly be worse than the Lightning Tower we're using now...

Go for it.

[Cisz]

This is a tower that does a multi shoot like metal, but doing the smallest part of the damage to the first target, right?

So the total damage would look something like this, given enough creeps are there and the attack has a bounce limit of 2 more targets:

Target 1: 1000

Target 2: 1100

Target 3: 1200

Total: 3300

What happens if only one target is available? Will the damage drop to 1000?

Apart from that, the tower has a fixed damage and can be balanced, it might just need a compensation for it's weakness vs single targets.

Yes I like this idea, I always wanted to have a chain lightning tower,

But cisz has a god point in the tower vs single creeps.

It might be able to bounce it to a absolutly random creep including the last attacked creep.
