So this is an idea for a new troop that I have come up with when I slept overnight. Whether it belongs to the Elixir or Dark Elixir set of troops, it doesn't matter really.
Electroman is a rather powerful DPS/support troop that can damage multiple targets at once as his lightning bolts jump towards nearby buildings and CC troops, affecting up to 5 targets at once with side splash!
But his abilities are not limited to that. He takes only 15% damage from Hidden Teslas; and not only that: his damage increases for 2 seconds after he is hit by a Hidden Tesla! He deals 3x damage to P.E.K.K.As and when hit by P.E.K.K.As, returns 40% of the P.E.K.K.A's damage back to her (but the Electroman will be damaged too). This damage return can be increased by any Rage Spells. So if anyone tries to Rage up their P.E.K.K.A to kill this troop, they're in for a nasty surprise...
The stats can be found in the table below. Note that the train cost, research cost and research time are all conjunctural values, and this table assumed that this troop is an Elixir troop.
Preferred Target | Attack Type | Housing Space | Training Time | Movement Speed | Attack Speed | Range | Barracks Level Required | Special Abilities |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
P.E.K.K.A (Damage x3) | Ranged (Multiple Targets) | 18 | 30m | 12 | 1s | 2 tiles | 11 |
|
Level | Maximum Damage Per Second | Normal Attack Damage | Side Splash Damage | Hitpoints | Training Cost | Research Cost | Laboratory Level Required | Research Time |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 208 | 80 | 32 | 600 | 33,000 | N/A | N/A | N/A |
2 | 234 | 90 | 36 | 700 | 37,000 | 6,000,000 | 8 | 12 days |
3 | 260 | 100 | 40 | 800 | 41,000 | 8,000,000 | 8 | 14 days |
If the troop is a DE troop (obviously Dark Barracks requirement = 7) then this would be the training and research cost:
Level | Training Cost | Research Cost |
---|---|---|
1 | 450 | N/A |
2 | 550 | 75,000 |
3 | 650 | 90,000 |
Balance changes that will be made to prevent this troop from being OP:
- Hidden Teslas know the tricks of the Electroman, and will not attack him unless he is the only troop in the radius of the Tesla!
- The Side Splash jump of the Electroman is limited to a 4 tile radius. If the lightning bolt cannot find any targets within that range it will not jump!
So let me know your opinion about this troop!
