Frost Wrath

Frost Maiden blasts the area with a wave of frost that deals damage to every enemy unit in a range of effect.
Frost explosion slightly knockbacks units effected by nova.
Cold damage slows unit's attack and movement rate for a short amount of time.

Level 1 - Deals 130 damage in Area of effect 180, knockabacks units and slows their attack and movement rate for 2 seconds.
Level 2 - Deals 170 damage in Area of effect 220, knockabacks units and slows their attack and movement rate for 3 seconds.
Level 3 - Deals 210 damage in Area of effect 260, knockabacks units and slows their attack and movement rate for 4 seconds.

testing...

a lil review, can be usefull to fix little things some times :

+yeah, the special effect is rly good, not too much things going on at the same time, but just enough.

+not a spell that is doing too much things witch would make it useless for wc3 maps.

+good balancing between special effects and waht the spell is doing.

+knockback is perfectly done with the special effect. it doesnt push units too soon neither too late.

-im not sure but first cast is lagging. gotta retest to be sure.
ok, tested 2 times and yeah it lags at the first cast

-a bit similar to frost nova

Gj.

didnt check the triggers.

EDIT: Oh and its supposed to represent the spell of Calex

That was important to write.. at first I thought you intended it for BerZ and it had be rather confused.

Did you create it from a ingame shot of his spell and then added some stuff / edited it?

My main complain about it is the its not centered.. and somehow miss the flash effect which Calex spell have.

No I drew it. Hmm, I didn't center it because I wanted it to be like if it was in air.

And was is the flash effect? Tried to make it close to the real spell, but well I just tested it one time :p

Ahh, okay thought you meant to look at it from above.. and the flash effect was more meant like there weren't much of an "explosion feel" to it.

How goes the surprise BerZ?

-BerZeKeR-

Coding: 8/10
Generally fine triggering, quite and easily customizeable. Sadly, there's not much of a really advanced code visible except the knockback maybe. Everything else appears pretty basic. You've choosen to access unit instances using a group which is okay. One minor issue (still worth to be mentioned) is your "random real" when it comes to the special effects for the knockback - the effect is in fact randomed, i'd rather prefer a constant interval.

General Appearance: 5/10
Well, the spell pretty much consists out of an explosion. There are some novas stacked on each other at the very beginning, furthermore you've used a knockback which is just hardly compatible with "winter" or "frost". The tooltip was partially a bit messed up.

Creativity: 2/5
Actually not the most creative piece (honestly, an explosion??).

Theme: 4/5
Overall matching. Mentioned aspects, just as the knockback, should still be noticed.

Total: 19/30
calex3

Coding: 8/10
You've used the general indexing method, in contrast to your opponent, to access each instance which is a fine way as well.
Generally the triggering is alright and without further flaws worth being mentioned except your lack of a possibility to remove newly added events triggered by possibly dead units later on. Your spell is hard to customize for beginners, but that's no aspect to judge harsh about in a challenge.


General Appearance: 9/10
The optical appearance is quite appealing and looks creative. The spell is actually giving the feeling of an advanced technique. The further effect is alright.

Creativity: 4/5
Quite creative execution, although the classical "frost explosion" is rather old.

Theme: 4/5
Matches the theme in general, although it may match a windy/rocky theme even better (consider other effects).

Total: 25/30
Congratulations.
