A new dark elixir troop, NERFLING
I have been reading through the forums when someone suggested about a troop called nerfling. I dont want to hijack the idea but i felt i was a brilliant idea and could be added as a strategy helper troop for ground attacks.
FEATURES
Space taken - 20
Cost - 1000 dark elixir
Special attribute - Decrease DPS of all defense buildings and enemy troops to 0.7x (0.5x in level 2). Decreases hitpoint of walls to 0.8x (0.6x in level 2)
Area of influence - 3 tiles
Hitpoints - 900
Damage - Minimal at 25
Speed - 10
Upgrade cost - 150000 dark elixir for level 2
Weakness - Skeleton traps and witch skeletons do 1.5x damage. (Witch itself does only 0.5x damage)
Requirements - Dark barracks level 8 at th10/11
A.I. CHANGE FROM REGULAR TROOPS
*Targets defensive buildings in general.
*Tries to stay at a distance of 2.5 tiles from defense and troops.
*If possible, tries to wedge itself in the middle of 2 defense buildings to maximise effect. This effect supersedes over effect 2.
*Effect is reciprocally added to reduce effectiveness in case of multiple nerflings targetting same buildings.
LOOKS
Black skinned goblin with a large belly. Satchel is green. Wears a red belt.
STRATEGIES WITH THIS TROOP
Can be used as a helper troop in many strategies, specially in giheho, goho, govaho and many others. Also helps in kill squad(But requires some calculations due to large amount of space taken by troop) Cant be used on its own. For defense, it cant be used on its own, but can be used with valkyrie or wizards, and it will try keeping the 2.5 tile gap even in defense.
STRATEGY AGAINST THE TROOP
Witches are good for defense. Multiple compartments are a headache. Skeleton traps to be kept in ideal places to counteract this troop(In the middle i guess).
P.S. Please post your artistic impression if you like the idea of such a unique troop. I will make sure to add it along with your name in the original post. Also please mention your name if you were the first person to suggest this idea (although it was for troll)
