Bomb Tower

"Defensive building that houses a Bomber. Deals area damage to anything dumb enough to stand near it."

Summary

 * The Bomb Tower is unlocked from the Bone Pit (Arena 2).
 * It is a medium range, defensive building, housing an armed Bomber.
 * A Bomb Tower card costs 5 Elixir to deploy.
 * The Tower will throw bombs, just like the Bomber, to any enemy cards in its defensive radius.
 * The thrown bombs have an AoE (Area of Effect) damage effect, perfect against swarming units with relatively low health such as Skeleton Army and Barbarians.
 * The Bomb Tower cannot attack air units.

Strategy

 * It's very effective against a swarm of low hitpoint troops, such as the Skeleton Army.
 * The Bomb Tower can be effectively placed in the radius of the player's Tower, as it will attract most enemy troops and any opposing offensive troops attacking the Bomb Tower will be targeted by the defending Arena Tower.
 * Keep in mind that the Bomb Tower cannot attack air units. This means that Minions can take it out without taking damage.
 * The Bomb Tower is a very effective counter against the Hog Rider + Barbarians push; it will attract the Hog Rider, kill the Barbarians with its splash damage, and delay the Hog Rider as it has good HP.
 * X-Bow and Mortar can be used to destroy the Bomb Tower without being damaged.

Trivia

 * On 2/2/16, the February Update increased the Bomb Tower's hit speed to 1.7 sec (from 1.8 sec).
 * On 9/2/16, the Chest Rewards &amp; Card Balance Update increased the Bomb Tower's attack speed to 1.6 sec (from 1.7 sec).
 * On 3/5/16, the May Update decreased the Bomb Tower's lifetime to 40 sec (from 60 sec).
 * This update also fixed the "range bug" and decreased the Bomb Tower's range to 6 (from 6.5) but its effective range is unchanged.
 * On 4/7/16, the Tournaments Update increased the Bomb Tower's hitpoints by 6%.
 * The Bomb Tower is one of the 9 cards associated with Skeletons.
 * It's actually very tough, although it doesn't look like it. It can deal with a Giant Skeleton or Hog Rider without getting eliminated.
 * The range of the Bomb Tower is much larger than the Bomber, but its damage is equal to the corresponding level of the Bomber.
 * The Bomb Tower and the Furnace are the only buildings in Clash Royale that is not inspired by a structure in Clash of Clans.
 * However, the Furnace is similar to the Cauldron from the Halloween update of Clash Of Clans, which is arguably a structure, making the Bomb Tower the only 'true' building in Clash Royale not to be inspired by a structure.
 * This building loses the most hitpoints per second out of all the buildings, at 57.6 hitpoints per second at max level.
 * Though it houses a Bomber, the Bomb Tower has a faster hit speed (1.6 x 1.9) than the Bomber.
