HYDRA- New Dark Elixer Troop

Alright Guys, here is the full and final stats for The HYDRA. I have revised/edited them many times and finally put them into a easy to read format. So here's the stats and any other notes I have posted within the entirety of this thread. Enjoy!


The Hydra- Cut off one head and two grow back. The Hydra grows more fearsome the more damage done to it.

Appearance:
Attachment 24996

Preferred Target	Attack Type	Housing Space	Training Time	Movement Speed	Attack Speed	Required Dark Barracks lvl	Range
Any	Melee (Ground only)	25	35m	14	1s	6	1 tile

Level	Original DPS	DPS at 2/3 health	DPS at 1/3 Health	Hit points	Training Cost	Research Cost	Lab lvl required	Research time
1	160	220	300	900	330	N/A	N/A	N/A
2	165	230	315	975	360	70,000	7	10 days
3	171	242	335	1050	390	80,000	8	12 days
4	179	257	360	1125	410	90,000	8	14 days

NOTE: Healing Spells/Healers do NOT effect the Hydra.

Thanks for all the support, feedback and suggestions over such a long period of time. I hope this troop continues to grow and improve in hopes that maybe someday something like this will be added.

More hit points and lower damage increase, maybe 250 at full hp for level 4 , 300 at 2/3, and 350 at 1/3
This is similar to a perks, but level 4 perks have 3300 (?) hp while this has 2100, and possible more space

Let me know what you think on this idea. Im open to suggestions and would appreciate any advice on how to improve this troop idea. Thanks!-SpicyMooseSpit

Nice idea, however I don't think this would be useful because P.E.K.K.A s are stronger than this and don't use the rarest resource in the game.

Thanks for the advice Infinity Blade! My only problem with the increase in hit points and less damage is that I wanted this unit to be somewhat like the Wizard, less hit points than a dragon or a PEKKA but high damage output, higher than any of the other DE troops.

So maybe increase damage and/or lower the amount of space it takes to 15-20?

Here's some new revised stats for the Hydra.

Housing Space: 20-25

Preferred Target: Any
Movement Speed: 14
Attack Speed: at Full health .3 s, at 2/3rd health increases to .25 s, at 1/3rd health increases again to .2 s

Lvl 1

Dark Elixer Cost: 330

Health: 1800

DMG: at Full Health 160 dps, 2/3 health 220 dps, 1/3 health 300 dps

Lvl 2

Dark Elixer Cost: 360

Health: 1950

DMG: at Full Health 172 dps, 2/3 health 238 dps, 1/3 health 330 dps

Lvl 3

Dark Elixer Cost: 390

Health: 2130

DMG: at full health 190 dps, 2/3 health 267 dps, 1/3 health 365 dps

Lvl 4

Dark Elixer Cost: 410

Health: 2,400

DMG: at Full Health 210 dps, 2/3 health 288 dps, 1/3 health 400 dps


Pros: With these stats the Hydra will have the highest damage per second of any troop (even higher dps than the PEKKA at 1/3rd health), and a very high attack speed, possibly fastest of any troop, combined with the increase in attack speed and damage.

Cons: takes up 20-25 spaces, similar to the Dragon or PEKKA but with less health, and slower movement speed. It also is a DE troop, making it very expensive. The only reason I think it should be a DE troop is because I don't think Supercell would make more regular Elixer troops.

Let me know what you think about any of the changes and any other suggestions for how to make this troop better.

20 space would probably be best, especially since its a dark elixir troop

interesting... a troop that becomes more powerful as it receives damage

so when it recieves more damages and decreses the health too? :confused:

Oh no it has set health, it just means that when its health drops to 2/3rds it gets stronger, and then when its health drops to 1/3rd it gets stronger again.

Does that Clarify dragonX?
