New dark troop, Minotaur

had an idea about something along the lines of a Juggernaut or Minotaur. A dark troop that has maximum high amount of damage for a short period of time or until it runs out of energy. For instance, if deployed outside a wall it charges like a juggernaut through walls and structures in its path toward the heart of the base damage until it runs out of energy. Like the health potion that deals out a specified amount of health and then dissipates, the Minotaur/Juggernaut will deal a pre-determined amount of damage then fall over dead or take a knee as if out of breath and if it can recover its energy before enemy troops diminish its health, then it gets back up and continues its destruction.

Thank you for your consideration

I like the idea, but please include HP, DPS, Speed, Fav Target, etc.

I like the idea. How is this for a start. 20 space, 1500 health. 200dps. Favorite target any. Attack type ground. Cost 500 de. The way he works is when you select to use him and you go to drop, instead of just him dropping where you touch, you draw a line with your finger or whatever, and he charges though all obstacles no matter what it is, be it wall, collector or barracks. OR, you tap once to deploy then the second tap is where you want him to finish his charge. Lvl1 starts with 3 and each lvlup it adds one. OR, he does a total of 10000 damage in his charge. Each building or wall he hits takes off his total damage down to 0 then he stops, rests for 5 seconds then stands up and starts to attack or something like that.

What sort of strategies would we see with this troop? Any favorite targets or movement speeds?

He would be very useful as a reliable way to get into the center of base quickly with a unit instead of relying on wall breakers or jump spell to get throught the first two layers of walls. So you could deploy pekkas or golems or witches to take focus fire then run your minotaur or 2 or 3 into the base. Then if the were placed right, the other troops go flooding in. You could used them as tanks to take damage while you deploy wizards or use them with golems where they are your dps. They would be very versatile but very strategic as well. Would definitely help attacks against th 11s that are almost inpenetrable most of the time. He should be about two tile wide and when he runs through a wall or 2, he creates a two tile wide opening. So walls would slow him down more becuase of their high hp. But you could also use him to run through a long row of buildings that dont have walls and destroy them all. If you happen to mis direct him and he continues to run, once he hits the tree line, he turns around and goes back to attacking any. The cool thing about him would be that he wont do what pekkas sometimes do of walking all the way around the base and die before they get into the middle. The minotaur busts in and 5 seconds later starts attacking.

His running speed would be 40. Walking speed 20. After he recovers, he attacks any target. He would also work great with valks. If you imagine it, he would be really cool with any combination of troops. His only draw back is that he is expensive. You could use 12, but itll cost you 6000 de!!! Even 2 is a 1000. So while you could use him in raids, its going to cost you quite a bit of de. You lvl him up to 3 increasing health and dps. But more importantly is you increase his ramming damage so that he still busts through lvl 11 walls, and if placed properly and timed properly , through two layers of wall.

I really like what cocthinkengine came up with. Using your finger to draw its path and him being 2 squares wide. He goes 10 squares then stops because we can't have him reach center of base in one shot too easily. Each upgrade grants him 1-1.5 square further in distance. He then begins attacking nearest structure in the direct path to Town Hall. I also Like his other idea about his charging speed is about 40. He should dual wield 2 double axe like Valkyrie and swing them with ease given his size. He is a favorite target of the Archer or Cannon and giant bombs deal extra damage. He is also to big for spring to work on him. Here is how I Invision his stats and welcome any and all input and ideas

DPS when not charging- 150
Hit points- 1000
Training cost- 1200 DE
Favorite target- Town hall
Damage type- single target
Target- Ground
Housing space- 35- 40
Training Time- 1hr
Movement speed when not charging- 18
Charging speed- 40
Charging distance- 10 squares


Thanks for your support guys
Justin

I updated my post and included his stats. Thanks for point out I didn't include any of that. Honestly didn't think this would gain much as much traction as it has.

Only problem I see is that it doesn't really encourage solid compartments. Other than that, I guess it's okay. Would it prefer other buildings over a wall, given a choice?

How about his fav target is town hall.

It is a very good idea. Its fav target can be town hall because there is no troops right now for that.

A very effective concept. It can be used like a wall-breaker cum attacker of some sorts.
However such troops must not be made available to TH6 as they can greatly assist in land attacks. I suggest 25 HS. Minotaur will suit. while charging , it can lean forwards and do incredible damages. At higher levels , this can be used for a full fledged land attack.

How about this ?: A rage spell of any level can energies the Minotaur to like when it was when deployed , tough and rough !?!? A good way to elongate it's rampage time.

Do invest your further time in the thread and get it shifted to correct sub-forum !!

He can take a percentage of damage for every obstacle he impacts during his charge. After his charge is over he attacks nearest structure in straight line to the TH or he can simply attach nearest structure or wall. I just see this as a new way to encourage people to come up with new base strategies. Since this would be good for the funneling bases. To help people find new base strategies we could maybe add 25 more walls for every Town Hall level up. What are your thoughts?

Rayj, i think the stats you posted are a bit unbalanced. 1000 de is way too much. And 40 housing space would mean that at max th 11 you could only make 6, and with the 1000 hp, he would be useless. Even if he ran through walls and got to town hall all the defences focusing on him would kill them fast before they could do any damage. He isnt bigger than a golem. I think 25 housing is good and 600 de cost is more reasonable. His health should make him relevant. He is after all a semi tank. I think at lvl 1 he should be at least 2000 and dps 200. If you compare his stats to a max pekka, he kinda looks weak. Pekka is 380 dps and 4500 hp. Thats pretty much double what i think the minotaur should be. But what makes the minotaur powerful is his charge. I really liked my charge damage threshold of 10000. That would mean that he could charge through 1 lvl 10 wall and pretty much any number of buildings that are lined up in his charge, but comes to a halt at a second wall because then that would exceed his 10000 damage threshold. When he hits his damage threshold, he kneels down, shakes his head, then stands up and starts to attack any target. Lots of good ideas guys. Keep them coming. I think the minotaur would be the perfect next de troops once we get everything balanced out.
