Description of Reaper
Born out of a land where the air is as hot as an inferno towers flames, Reapers hate the heat with a burning passion and spawn six ghosts to further terrorize villages after defeat.
Description of souls
The souls are bound to the reaper by his magical scythe, and nobody wants to be haunted by these monsters
Dark Barracks Idea, Add a summoners portal where the reaper is summoned from

Blade of scythe intended to be the color of Dark Elixer
Eyes intended to be glowing Blue, the hottest color of fire
And I am open to ideas and criticism to my idea
Attack strategies: GoRewiwi (Golems for the base defenses (meatshields), witches to swarm inferno towers and reapers to kill the tower, with wizards as a clean up crew)
Defense strategy: The best way to defend against the reaper is to keep your inferno towers on multiple target, and make sure they are moved into the center, surrounded and in a tight enclosure of walls with the TH, this will both buy your other defenses and inferno towers the most time to defeat the reaper.
This unit offers a unique chance to take out the 2nd most powerful defense in the game, the inferno tower, giving the advantage to the raider as long as the raider can defend the reaper. Also apposed to the most recent 3 dark troops (lava hound, witch, and golem) either distract or swarm the defenses, (not complaining or anything), this unit can destroy it's target alone
This unit does not fly, and is still vulnerable to spring traps

Animation ideas...
Attacking: The Reaper swings his scythe around his body, so fast it leaves a small flame ring around him. That fades before the next attack

Walking: The reaper walks around like a witch would but the difference is that he has a small flame trail that follows him around.

Split: Before the ghosts are released the reaper balloons out into a ball and pops into smoke, scattering the ghosts.

Thank you for both supporting and criticizing the idea to allow improvement.

Seems like a good troop with much detail hopefully Supercell considers it

Great Idea. Make your idea more attractive by adding a pic. Here's a good one to take ideas from:-

I figured, you know what, not a bad idea, thank you for the idea of adding the picture, it was free handed and the cam quality wasn't the greatest, sorry if it came out not like you expected, but i do hope you enjoy

Great thread! Love this idea. Nice detail, let's hope SC see this and act.

This is an awesome idea!

its like lava hound.. lava cover ad and this troop will be cover inferno tower :/ no body th 10 plyr want to have 3 lava and 2 this type of unit in army camp :/

Good one! Good idea but keep that it only takes damage from infernos and others are invulnerable and don't really dares to attack (excluding eagle artillery). So the xbows still attacks other troops..

Unlike the lava hound, this unit both doesn't fly, and isn't made to distract the inferno tower, this unit was made to be able to destroy an inferno tower. Not tank damage, but to add a supportive unit to the gowipe, and gowiwi strategies, that can actually take down the powerful inferno tower defense in a few hits and also spawn ranged ground units that can fly through walls and carry destruction forward with a protective unit be distracted by walls like the archers/Wizards

Great idea for a troop but I would change some of stuff like cost and space.
